This collection offers for the first time an overview of black, sacred recordings made in the field. They demonstrate a wide variety of the many exciting styles of Afro-American gospel music covering for the most part the Post-War era. We have drawn in-the-front-seat clips from the tent, concert hall, church, park, festival grounds, stadium, ballroom, studio and auditorium and have included international gospel stars such as Mahalia Jackson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe alongside lesser celebrated but equally talented artists like the Morning Echoes and Golden Keys.
Hearing in-the-spirit-gospel live performances before an enthralled audience makes for a full and true experience. The recordings may not always convey the cleanness and controlled environment of the studio and may sometimes include a soloist, caught by the spirit, wandering off-mike, but this emotional music is the closest you will ever get to the essence of black gospel music. If this doesn't have you off your feet and into the air, nothing will. (Opal Louis Nations)trax disc 1:

Thanks Jillem - I buy almost all of the JSP sets, but I haven't gotten this one yet. I am a big fan of Opal Louis Nations' work, so thank you. I will have to order this after playing it, as I completely forgot about it being available. Great music for my Sunday morning.
Thank You very much for sharing. Great blog
Thanks
Hello Gyro & RYP. Many thanks for posting the music on your blog this weekend. @Gyro- Memphis Marvels-Memphis Gospel 1927-1960 [4CD Box Set], compiled and annotated by Louis Opal Nations! Greetings Jillem
wonderful, thanks!
wonderful, thanks!
Thanks Jillem - I recently bought the Memphis Marvels JSP Box set, although I've only played two discs so far. How do you have time to play everything? I have so much amazing music to listen to. Thankfully I play it both at home, in the car, and at work constantly.
OH YEAH!! :)
THANK YOU!!!
@Gyro- Some statistics! How many unheard CDs I have piled up. There actually is not enough time to go through your collection.
Mathematically 99% of my collection will never get played again. Jillem
Awesome,thank you very much.
Cheers.
Dave.
Always great to read the comments, always cool to read White & Uptight! Jillem - One of my regrets is that there are so many records, CD's, and MP3's that I've only played once or never in my collection. Many times I will rediscover a collection that I've had for many years, only to find out it was a classic and totally ignored by me for too long. I hope to live to be well over 100 and coherent with good hearing, there is so much enjoyment of music to attend to.
hi gyro! it made my day to see that you like my comments! :)
it always makes my day when i check out TZ!
here is another comment for you: THANK YOU & OH YEAH!
:)
Statistics 2. Gyro ...It happens regularly i buy a CD i already have! Jillem
Yes, Jillem - I also buy CD's that i already own! Many times, even though I try to keep a good filing system. Sometimes I am sure I need the CD, only to find I already have it and have never played it yet! (I don't check my collection beforehand because I am sure I need it.) I then have to sell them again on Amazon, or give them to friends!
hey gyro! i will be happy to take any duplicate CDs off your hands! LOL :)
between TZ & jillem's blog posts that i already have (not counting anything new from this day forward), i could hear something new every day until i am well over 100! :)
thanks you guys, you are the BEST!

''Gospel Celebrities & Celestial Lights''
This two disc release from specialist label Fantastic Voyage mostly features formative gospel music and sanctified blues from between 1949 to 1959 and the sheer diversity and quality contained within its 52 tracks makes it a musical treasure trove of the highest order. As its title boasts, a plethora of celebrities of their time - both gospel and secular - are featured here with legends such as the Staple Singers, the Golden Gate Quartet, Mahalia Jackson, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and the Five Blind Boys Of Alabama making appearances alongside the likes of Little Richard who appears here in accomplished blues singer mode. Elsewhere, a fascinating insight into the gospel roots of eventual mainstream big-timers such as Lou Rawls and Sam Cooke is given - the latter checks in with a delightful, previously unissued take of "Jesus, Wash Away My Troubles" - whilst pre-teen cuts from future stars Bobby Womack and Candi Staton in "The Bible Tells Me So" and "Too Late" add further historical value. As with many retrospective compilations, what makes this release stand out is the number of unexpected nuggets that grab the listener's attention. For example, the privilege of hearing previously unreleased live performances of "Jesus Brought Me" and "I Found Joy" by Dewey Young and the Swan Silvertones for the first time cannot be underestimated whilst the simply exquisite doo wop exposé "Ladder Of Prayer" at the hands of the vastly underrated Joe Hinton is the icing on the cake of this superlative and essential release.
