Charlie Story and His All Stars - New Yok Grassroots Gospel

Another rerun from that old box of tapes long forgotten in Cliff's archives.

This group blends prewar and post-war singing traditions from the South (the members are from Georgia and the Carolinas) but their group was formed in Brooklyn.

I am proud to be able to offer this rare and historic series but there is no doubt that these singers were recorded beyond their vocal primes, yet still they retain a charm for those willing to open their ears.

Here is a link to a fine Opal Louis Nations article about Charlie and the All Stars.
