Rock & Roll Sermon

A re-post by request: The Elder Clifford Gospel Hour presented by Deacon Kingcake continues with a second portion because Deacon KC has been taken with the spirit and can't be denied now....I'd simulate speaking in tongues but I can't figure out how you would do that.....

 "Rock and Roll Sermon is a collection of some of the finest sanctified music recorded between 1946-56. If you're not familiar with sanctified music,and you like the blues and dazzling guitars, pumping piano, and true-testifying, then you owe it to yourself to listen to this compilation. Unfortunately, this great music has largely been ignored by the general public and by music critics. Perhaps it is because these are songs of praise to the Lord, and many prefer to keep their musical and religious tastes separated. After all, when was the last time you listened, outside of church, to selections from the Common Service Hymnal? While this is not blues music, many of the "blues forms" are utilized. Only the message has been changed. This is intense, dynamic, inspirational, and incredible music. Enjoy and Rejoice!!!"
ps there is some overlap between these two sets today but I don't believe that the same version has been used on any of the apparent duplications.

This is wonderful stuff. I can't say that I'm born again because fortunately my mother was successful the first time but if I'm beyond saving,I'm not beyond savoring and am thoroughly enjoying the service and the sermonizing to music. Maybe I'm wrong but there's a certain irony in Elder Charles condemning rock and roll while the brothers and sisters rock to the beat of that fine guitar and organ playing. There may be no sex and soul corrupting passions in sanctified music but there's a lot of orgasmic joy being shouted and celebrated. Thank you Elder Clifford and Deacan KingCake for brightening my early Sunday Morning. It brought to mind the elderly preacher and the service in "The Harder They Come" which almost stole the movie.

First heard this type of gospel on the great 'Hot Gospel (Get Right With God)' vol 1+2 on vinyl back in 84. The follow up 'Gods Mighty Hand (Gospel Evangelists) was nearly as good. Yes, there is some overlapping material here but this collection also has some exciting finds! Thanks.
