Description
The contemporary gospel music scene is rather more refined than it used to be in the 'golden era', leaving many listeners dissatisfied.
This 28 track compilation is a reminder of the power and glory of the great traditional soloists and classic 'quartets'. Among the former the selection includes Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Mahalia Jackson, Marion Williams, Marie Knight, Dorothy Love Coates and Brother Joe May.
The groups include The Sensational Nightingales, The Swan Silvertones, The Soul Stirrers, The Spirit Of Memphis, Clara Ward & The Ward Singers and Professor Alex Bradford & The Bradford Singers. Eight of the tracks are previously unissued live recordings. The booklet includes rare photographs and a history of gospel music.
