Oldschool Quartet Singing, August 3, 2001
This review is from: Heavenly Gospel Singers 1 (Audio CD)
Modern (that is, since about 1950) gospel fans be warned. This is the old school gospel quartet style of singing before the Golden Gate Quartet, Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers, and others jazzed things up and made syncopation and improvisation the name of the game. The version here of "Precious Lord" is the earliest known recorded version of this song. Not bad, but largely for historical interest. And since they're also from my hometown of Spartanburg, SC, I can't complain too much.
