Customer Reviews:

Wow.......2007-02-01

I first heard of Thomas Dorsey on a PBS program. I was very impressed
then,and this album has just increased my love of his music. A very good
CD which has to be heard to be appreciated. Highly recommended!

LEGIONS.......2006-11-04

Outstanding, a highly recommended if you are interested or would like to get to know, feel and understand GOD SPEL, please sink your spiritual heart in this and reach deeeeep down to succumb to the meaning by understanding the trials and tribulations of the times. True voices, lyrics, deep in your soul, way back when GOSPEL. The much older generation know Mr. Dorsey, who was/is Gospel. The younger generation know Lift Every Voice and Sing, Thank you.

WLJ.......2006-02-17

Five stars does not do justice to this classic. Trust me; if you are a fan of true spiritual gospel music, this is the CD for you. A CD for all times that will magnify your collection.

PEACE.

Buy This Album.......2005-12-17

Your soul will thank you. One of my all-time favorites. Thomas A. Dorsey is a genius--one of the best American songwriters...ever. As a tunesmith, he is up there with Jagger, Richards, Dylan, Lennon, Waits, Newman, Foster and Ray Charles. What a record.

This is a par-excellent album!!!.......2004-01-24

This is a wonderful album, I love it! Dorsey is a master, and this album includes a powerful testimony before track one, describing the moving story of the death of his wife, and the inspiration for writing "Precious Lord, Take My Hand". Top to bottom this album is a gospel classic!

I have many CD's of hymns that I listen to when I'm going to sleep at night. This one is not as calming at times as some of the others that I have. Nevertheless, it has many of the "old favorites" and worth buying, just for that reason.

joy.......2001-05-12

any song of jimmy deans is great. i wish he would come back and sing. i dont know if anyone remembers but in 1967 i worked at a truck stop and there was a song in the juke box that i think was "when someone mentions your name" i cant find it anywhere. i know he sang it and i just want to hear it again. i wish i could email to jimmy dean but it is all about sausauge..

All Songs and stories so good.......2001-02-23

There is not one song that Jimmy Dean sings that I haven't tried to get one of, There is a christmas song, I heard about his mom he did and have never been able to find since I don't know the title. He is a great entertainer I know the sausage is good, but wish he would get back into music, and would love to see him do some TV. His shows were just great. Would love for him to know how insprirational and wonderful his talent really is.I am a 61 year old grandmother, who wish's my grandchildren could always love and relate to these songs as I have.These are the kind of songs that have so much meaning,as was Walter Brenhan,and just recently have had the pleasure to enjoy once again Jody Miller. !Would recomend this music to anyone 5 stars!

Album Description

Born in New Orleans, the home of blues and Dixieland music, Mahalia Jackson heard only sacred music at home. Further inspired by the music of Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey, Jackson was to become the greatest gospel singer ever. These two albums, originally released by Columbia in the early 1960s, feature Jackson backed by the Falls-Webb ensemble (on "Come On Children...") and the orchestra and chorus of Johnny Williams (on "Great Songs..."). In 1962, Mahalia Jackson was awarded a Grammy in the Sacred/Inspirational/Religious category for the "Great Songs Of Love And Faith" album.

Customer Reviews:

New frontiers.......2004-11-11

I find no inconsistency with Mahalia's music whether with full orchestra or just the gospel backing. Her voice is magnificent in both albums. "Great Songs of Love and Faith" is well-done. She is in excellent voice. It is unfair to put Mahalia on a shelf and disregard the diversity of her recording efforts. No, this one is not gospel but, as the title indicates, it is faithful to her convictions. This album won an award (gold) at its time. Before her death, Mahalia planned to record the music of Israel and Hawaii also. Too bad she didn't live long enough. I love this CD and encourage anyone who loves this person to buy it and listen to great music. These are grand old favorites with the implicit Jacksonian touch.

Pretty nice.......2004-09-15

Yes, COME ON CHILDREN, LET'S SING is an awesome album alone. I would agree that the pairing with GREAT SONGS OF LOVE AND FAITH is weird, but I'm glad that they were included together. It proves to the listener that Mahalia Jackson could do more than just yell, scream, and holler, like many feel that she does. Mahalia could handle it all. So this pairing shows the 'churchy' side of Mahalia and the romantic, operatic side of Mahalia, which still remains Christian.

I'm not too fond of GREAT SONGS OF LOVE AND FAITH, but several of the selections really minister to me. Songs like "My Friend," "I've Done My Work," "That's America To Me," and "The Green Leaves of Summer" are, in my opinion, the four best songs on that album. When I hear Mahalia sing "My Friend," it brings tears to my eyes. Such a blessed, angelic voice! Mahalia doesn't sound uncomfortable on GREAT SONGS OF LOVE & FAITH- it's just a new sound that many haven't been introduced to!

An odd pairing........2004-05-26

The 1960 release of "Come On Children, Let's Sing" would be a 5-star rating by itself, since it is a Gospel recording true to Ms. Jackson's tradition. Songs like "One Step", "The Christian's Testimony" and Tom Dorsey's "If We Ever Needed The Lord Before" are landmarks of the Christian Faith. The style of Mahalia's singing here is consistant with her earlier recordings for Apollo Records and she is backed by her regular pianist Mildred Falls along with Willie Webb (Roberta Martin Singers) on organ and a righteous rhythm section of James Rainey (guitar), Aaron Bell (bass) and Osie Johnson (drums). But here's where the fun ends. "Songs of Love And Faith" is a typical left curve Columbia Records was famous for throwing. Although Mahalia tackles the god-awful material like a pro (eg. Dinah Washington, Billie Holliday), it is clear she is not comfortable with it. Why Collectibles didn't pair up "Great Gettin' Up Mornin'" or "Make A Joyful Noise" with the first album, is beyond belief.

Excellent singing!.......2002-09-24

This CD contains 22 of the most well-known hyms sung by one of the best baritones of the time with all the feelings of a man who is truly devoted to Jesus Christ in his everyday life. Tom is a Christian who testifies to his faith in these songs. He carries the message of faith and hope and love inspired by our true Lord and Saviour. You will truly enjoy this CD.

22 Great Songs Of Faith.......2002-09-21

This album is the best I've ever heard. Tom Netherton has such a pure voice, it brings tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat. I have been watching the Welk Show for a long, long, time just to hear tom sing. GREAT TALENT!

Heavenly voice to hear........1999-04-23

I have always enjoyed listening to Tom sing and have been a listener since I was a junior in high school and I graduated in 1975. I still watch the Lawrence Welk show on Public TV. I think Tom Netherton has one of the most wonderful voices ever and I have always loved to hear him sing and especially to Christian music. As a Christian myself, Tom's music inspires me and I am going to purchase both the CD's. Thanks Tom for always showing your faith in God, and by the way, your first book was an inspiration to me and I still have it after all these years.

Inspiring Album of Faith.......1998-10-25

In these beautiful songs of faith, Tom Netherton (late of the Lawrence Welk Musical Family) once again dislpays not only his virtuosic baritone, but his obviously sincere beliefs in the comforts of the Christian life. Bravo, Tom. An inpired and inspiring album.

A must have in your collection!.......2007-01-03

I backed my way into this CD - I heard the choir singing background on a song that's on Brian Stokes Mitchell's CD, and wanted to learn more about them. So I googled the Broadway Inspirational Voices and came up with this CD. I ordered it, and my musical world was transformed. I gave the CD to my choir director, and our choir performed 2 songs from the CD for the holiday services, much to the delight of our congregation. Everyone I have recommended this CD to has fallen in love with it. The arrangements, the singing, and the overall musicianship are at such a high level that you simply MUST HAVE this in your collection. You will NOT be disappointed!!!

One of the Best!!!.......2006-12-10

I ordered this CD this year after listening to a sample (Joy to the World). I knew I had to have this CD. When it arrived and I listened to it, I was just amazed. Michael McElroy and his crew did an outstanding job on this compilation. The music is awesome. The singing is wonderful. EVERY song is simply amazing, and it causes you to sing along with them. I simply enjoy the fact that they sing the traditional songs and put a little twist to them, but easy to catch on to. If you buy this CD, you will simply enjoy it very much. One of the absolute best. I give it 10 stars!!!!

Puts Me in the Holiday Spirit!.......2005-11-02

Great Joy has quickly become my favorite Christmas album! The Broadway Inspirational Voices bring so much energy and well, joy, to every song. It also features solos by some great Broadway performers (Gavin Creel, Billy Porter, etc.).

Great Joy! Great Scott! Powerfully inspirational!.......2003-12-05

I read about this CD in the NY Daily News, and ordered a copy. WOW! The CD is literally thrilling, like being at a live concert! Some big time singers make up this CD, Billy Porter has an amazin solo, Gavin Creel's voice is as beautiful as any, Michael McElroy is a genius! If you buy one Christmas CD, this is the one. Beautiful, powerful, and true to the title, it has brought me great joy. I am getting a few more for gifts, this is truly something to share in this season.

This couple sings many wonderful hymns that are easy to sing with. Their harmony is unbelievable. This is a "must have" for anyone that enjoys well-loved hymns.

very good cd - can't understand why more cd's aren't available for these two.

great collection from two great people.......2005-02-26

This is a fantastic collection of hymns sung by two great people, Guy and Ralna. Listening to Ralna solo on "My Tribute" is alone worth five stars and more. The arrangements are simple, yet beautiful!! This CD is awesome and inspiring!

Fun time warp..........2003-12-12

Many, many (many), moons ago, my parents had a particular 8-Track album that I just loved to play. I had never heard of the singers, Guy and Ralna, although I suppose I had seen them on "The Lawrence Welk Show", a staple in our house. The album was a collection of religious songs, but who cared? The cassette was a bright neon blue color, and I loved to put on our giant headphones and sing along with the artists (I particularly liked "Church in the Wildwood"), right through the inescapable "ka-CHUNK!" of the 8-Track skipping to the next track in mid-song.

"Just a Closer Walk With Thee", "How Great Thou Art", "What a Friend We Have in Jesus", "Whispering Hope", and the kids favorite, "Put Your Hand in the Hand", just sounded so mellow and yet so fun that I didn't care or even notice the religious elements. The music wasn't pushy, and was just so nice to sing along to.

After a recent trip home, I came across that same, battered, blue, 8-Track cassette, and decided to look online to see if the album had made the migration to CD. Unfortunately, the album does not exist in that format yet, but this particular collection has just about all of the same songs, so I went ahead and bought a copy.

Beyond the fun nostagic trip of hearing these songs again, one is also aware of the nostalgia of simpler times. There's an almost naiive goofiness in an album like this (at least post 9-11), which is evident not only in Guy and Ralna's hairstyles, but in the almost artificial purity of every note they sing. It calls to mind the days of The Carpenters, Captain and Tennille, Donny and Marie, The Osmonds, and all of their contemporaries. And the "Lawrence Welk Show", of course.

The songs still sound great, and are light enough not to be oppressive or "preachy"; just some Believers singin' their hearts out, and you can't fault that.

GUY AND RALNA ALWAYA GREAT.......2002-03-03

THIS CD IS VERY GOOD AND THE SONGS ARE DONE BEAUTIFULY! THE SOUND ISN'T AS GOOD BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THIS ALBUMN. I HAPPEN TO LOVE THIS CD AND ALSO OWN A CASSETTE OF IT. BUY IT! YOU WILL GET GREAT JOY FROM HEARING IT.
