4.0 out of 5 stars Studio and Live performance, September 13, 2000

This CD gives to the listener bands from the DOT label. The re-issues are from studio recordings and a live performance. The live performances are from New York's Town Hall. After Clara appeared at the Newport Jazz Festival in Providence, Rhode Island, 1957, there was a great demand for her and style of music. It would be better if the studio recordings were issud separatly from the live and the live separately from the studio recordings. Hopefully in the future, the full album, 'Live at Town Hall' will be issued separately. This album will give you both studio recordings, and live performances. [e-mail]

5.0 out of 5 stars Warning! Cover is misleading..., September 1, 2011

Has ANYONE noticed that the personnel pictured on the cover of this disc is not the actual group you're hearing? Not that the recording is without merit, but for goodness sake...the group pictured here is the original Ward Singers with Frances Steadman, Kitty Parham and Marion Williams. These three broke away from the orginal group to form the Stars of Faith in the late 50's. These recordings were made in the 60's! Although the music featured on this disc is some of Ms. Ward's finest moments (read my rating!!) I, as a consumer and admirer, feel it is misleading to picture the wrong group. There may be some who think I'm nit-picking, but when a group changes personnel, the appropriate picture should be used. The Rolling Stones wouldn't dream of putting out a current album with Brian Jones and Bill Wyman on the cover. Come on, wake up!!

Other than that, the disc is perfect!
