Guest Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 i saw a brook benton sings gospel album in my local record exchange today ...was gonna buy it , anyone know anything about it ? Davie
jazzyjas Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 I know a few: Voices of East Harlem-No, No, No-Elektra "Right On Be Free" LP Christian People-Andre & the Disciples-Liberty Three Little Fishes-Bessie Griffin-Liberty (big on the popcorn scene, too) Didn't It Rain-Evelyn Freeman-United Artists (massive spin in Pittsburgh for years!) and here's my all time classic opener... I'll Be Waiting-The Angelic Choir-Savoy--I've opened many sets with this one. It's an absolute killer! The song builds with a spoken intro with each instrument coming in one by one. I'll try to post a sound clip. KTF Jas

Petebangor Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Rance Allen-Reasons AWESOME!! A couple of recent modern/inspirational tunes from the last couple of years are:- Chestnut Brothers-Travellin on Rance Allen-Stay With Me Cliff Jones-Haven't You Heard Deitrick Haddon-Stir The Gift (one of the best tunes this year) And a couple of classics- Brothers In Christ-God's Armour The Winans-Let My People Go Praise the the lord!! Pete
Sebastian Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 (edited) I think "Don't Give Up" by Cassietta George which was mentioned above is amazing (as is much of her other stuff but not in a very "northern" way). I really like the following as well: Jean Austin - Don't Have To Worry- SONGBIRD Salem Travelers - Give Me Liberty Or Death- CHECKER Edited December 2, 2004 by Sebastian
Dayo Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Two classics from the Torch: Right Direction - Clara Ward Mighty Good Way - Robert Banks Anyone agree that the Clara Ward track is borderline sublime?

I'll try to post a sound clip. KTF Jas link Wow, someone actually mentioned 'Didn't It Rain - Evelyn Freeman'. I think it's great & recently found A copy, as had it from 'talkin' trash' (Greasy R&B with attitude '54 - '63, so the cover says) comp. Played it to a few people into R&B type stuff, but they all seemed to find it a bit too much, though they generally preferred the other side 'Water boy', which sounds like Pigmeat Markham, but doesn't really go anywhere. Don't think it would go down well at a Northern night. Heard the Cassietta George the other week & thats really good too, but had already gone Mike
Jerry Hipkiss Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Two classics from the Torch: Right Direction - Clara Ward Mighty Good Way - Robert Banks ...and I believe Clara Ward's version of "Help" got a few plays at the Torch as well. From even earlier, how about James Carr "Freedom Train" - or is that more social comment than gospel? Jerry.
Garethx Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 At Fish Ain't Bitin' in Manchester a couple of months ago, Steve Cato played an incredible 45 by Ben Branch on (I think) Checker: a version of the standard "Motherless Child". It was one of the greatest records I've ever heard in a club. Deep but uplifting, with an enormous swell of sound and great presence. Fans of the late 60s Dells sound would definitely appreciate this. Over the years I've spun a few gospel things out: Glenn Jones & The Modulations on Savoy; Don Bryant & A Chosen Few; and a personal favourite: "Not My Home" by Mike Heyward on I Am (do any modern soul fans know this lp? this bloke is one of the best unknown vocalists ever).
Jerry Hipkiss Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Totally irrelevant to the Northern side of it, but anyone who likes current urban gospel should get Raymond and co's "Playing games" album. I was first given a couple of tracks to play on air during the summer, and there's now a rather tasty vinyl promo in my collection Jerry
Ady Croasdell Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Don't forget Mary Love Comer's 'Sandbox' and all the other 80s/90s tracks on her Kent CD ('The Price' is slow but utterly brilliant). If we do a comp we'll get Tony Clayton to do the sleevenotes. Ady PS I know Clara Ward was a gospel singer but are there any religious refernces in 'The Right Direction', I can't remember feeling very holy when I danced to it.

soulAdequateNP Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Sold my Uk black Chess copy of this last year because I hated the thing , it was actually like bieng in church listening to it with all the hand waving business going on.(snip) link It didn't change hands at Ponds Forge earlier this year did it? If so, it's gone to a good home
Godzilla Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Not strictly Gospel but should fit into the Religeous Northern catagory: Rod Keith - Like The Lord Said Bless ma soul. Godz
Soulsmith Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 "Thy Will Be Done" - Eddie Carlton "Santa Claus Please Listen To Me" - Artie Fullilove
Guest Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 What about "This Is My Story" by Rev. George Morton? Recently picked this up. Strange record, still trying to find where it fits in my set....
