5.0 out of 5 stars BEST OF THIS TYPE YOU'LL EVER HEAR!, April 27, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: They Gave The World a Smile: The Stamps Quartet Tribute Album (Audio CD)
I'd heard about this release as being one of its field's 5 best in the world a'la The GRAMMYS, and thanks to amazon.com for stocking! It's a hard-to-find rarity! For that raw, 4 men and a piano gospel quartet sound, fans, this is the group and sound that was there in the lab when it was invented! No "middle-of-the-road" sermonettes for Christianettes here; this is powerful "I Won't Have To Cross Jordan Alone" stuff-----full of majesty and power! The spoken introductions by the legends are worth the price of this CD alone! ....the essence of what gospel music is all about,...or should be!

5.0 out of 5 stars An American Art Form, August 20, 2001
By 
Ann Smith (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: They Gave The World a Smile: The Stamps Quartet Tribute Album (Audio CD)
This CD is the perfect embodiment of what music fans all over the world know as American gospel. This is essential listening for historians and fans who want to hear the roots of gospel music in the 20th century. From Dallas to Memphis and throughout the south and southwest, this V.O. Stamps and company-inspired music forever set the standard for "happy rhythms". Who can estimate the worldwide enjoyment of these songs such as "On The Jericho Road" and "Farther Along"? These songs' and these singers' impact has been substantial. And added to the southern gospel sound is the string band swing accompaniment on select tunes of The Light Crust Doughboys, furthering celebrating a sound that coincided with the radio explosion of the 1930s that so popularized both radio gospel music and western swing. It doesn't get any better than this, folks: the heart and soul of American folk music as demonstrated by the giants in their fields: James Blackwood, Larry Ford, Ken Turner and the other singers; Smokey Montgomery, Bill Simmons, Art Greenhaw and the other instrumentalists.

5.0 out of 5 stars Original Listener, December 28, 2001

James Louis Newcomb (Winters, California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: They Gave The World a Smile: The Stamps Quartet Tribute Album (Audio CD)
Way back in the 1930's My dad would stop work to listen to The Light Crust Doughboys. We could only afford radio batteries for important stuff.. and this was it! Thank God it's still available. Dad sings with them now... I will listen here for a long while yet!!!
