This first Sunday Morning post is extracted from an absolutely fabulous article and collection writen and compiled by Karl Tsigdinos & John Glassburner at the remarkable Sir Shambling's Deep Soul Heaven. The site is pretty much required reading for anyone who is interested enough in this stuff to be hanging out here. The truly excellent article, pictures, links etc are all included in the download or at the link above to the site, as I found it - what I have done for you is to extract all of the mp3's imbedded in the article into a two volume file for you to listen to whilst you read the fine work of Messrs Karl Tsigdinos & John Glassburner.
I have listened to part one of this compilation this morning and it is quite simply the greatest, most moving, gospel I have ever heard!!! I was moved to tears repeatedly!!!

Ah, magnificent KC - Mr Ridley is the man. There isn't really a dud here but highlights - East St Louis Gospelettes spellbinding 'Ill Take Care Of You' and Julius Cheeks' monumental 'If Serving God Is Wrong'. Listen to that and let the sacred and profane do battle in your head. Honourable mentions too for Dorothy Love Coates (obviously) and Bill Moss. Wonderful stuff.
Meant to add, there's more soulful gospel on the site under the Soul For Sinners link.
Epic collection, KC!! Can I get a witness?? Thanks and praises, as always, for your heroic efforts at keeping this woefully obscure, but ultimately soul satisfying music moving in the world....Many, many thanks........happy Sunday to you all.
This music was and is a national treasure. It is sorely missed. Much gratitude to all who share.
