5.0 out of 5 stars Soulful, August 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Good News (Audio CD)

The Meditation Singers turn out a style of powerhouse traditional gospel that is seldom heard among the slicker productions of contemporary gospel. From the deliberative "My Soul Looks Back and Wonders" to the uplifting "Ain't That Good News", this Detroit female choir group from the 50s evokes a Sunday morning spent in a Baptist church. Take this with a spoon full of soul!

SPECIALTY Records does it again! This Golden nuggett anthology of one of Gospel's Golden Era most prominent celebrated but unsung gospel ensembles. The Meditation Singers hailed out of Detroit Michigan, and under the leadership of Ernestine Rundless had an array of talent in the group during it's tenure. From Della Reese, James Cleveland ( King Of Gospel), to Ernestine's daughter Laura Lee. Power packed gospel vocals over syncapated beats, and sanctified singing proclaim the wonders of God! To moving hypnotic smoothe soothing rythmns on slow melodic tunes. It's all here in this one project which focuses on their recordings from 1953-1959. Also previously unreleased versions of some of their major hits! James Cleveland penned over eight tracks alone on this project,and as well sang, and played piano on some! Alex Bradford sings with the Meditation Singers letting you indeed they do know Him on the track "Do You Know Jesus"? (A Toe Tapping Classic)! 23 songs in all showcasing one of gospel's truest gems of ensembles during the Golden Era! A MUST HAVE FOR COLLECTORS!
