Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars a greatest hits.......2003-03-25

Although the artists were unknown to me, this is a truly a greatest hits collection of gospel in the older (30's to 50's) style. It represents choral, solo and small group work, some of the latter backed by a Hammond B3 organ. The quality of the recordings are good but the passion and excitement of the singers is truly outstanding.

For the novice, I would strongly recommend this collection.
