"...gospel historian Anthony Heilbut once labeled Prof Hines the first bona fide gospel superstar. In the liner notes to the various artists album 'The Great Gospel Men' Heilbut wrote of the singer and choir director, "When he performed, audiences could not contain themselves. Men and women ran into each other, people fell out of balconies. Ambulances were summoned; overwrought ecstatics collapsed. Male quartets began scuffling, trying to get similar responses. After such frenetic showmen as Hines or Brother Joe May, it became clear that gospel involved more than singing. If you didn't move the people out of their seats, into the aisles and - ideally - leave them flat on their backs, you had not scored."... more

I look forward to Sunday morning being gospel time thanks to postings such as this. As always, thanks so much for providing music that makes the listening possible and the enjoyment immense.
Not to mention that for me it's gonna be late afternoon Sunday :) Thank you KC, beautiful and honorable work.
This lol (little ol' lady) checks each day to see if expired links for gospel somehow magically work the next day. Having a deep connection and reverence for all the music you post, I am begging that some of the gems be recycled! Everyone should experience the Nashboro collection, "Maybe The Last Time" plus the others in that collection, the "Powerful Gospel On Independent Labels", and of course, "Rock N' Roll Sermons"! So many others are worthy of a good begging! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I will be more than happy to re-run your requests as I can find the time - you can leave requests on the individual posts as you find them, or if you wouldn't mind making a list, you could leave it in the shares & requests - I'll keep track of them either way and eventually get them up - anything you are particularly keen on, leave a quick note in the chatbox -- a pleasure to have your LOL-ness aboard!
Oh - and those mentioned above are already on the list of course
Little Ol' Lady checking in to thank you, KingCake. You've just given license for my greed to run rampant! I will remember your instructions for contacting you. I wish I had something worthy of sharing, but all the exceptional music I leeched from this wonderful blog. It was I who recently requested disc A of "Nuggets of the Golden Age of Gospel." I come just about everyday to see if expired links will magically work the next day. I will not miss a single post! The begging will most likely continue....LOL
