Gospel Songs
Recorded in The Bahamas, the music on this album exemplifies the mix of the sacred and secular in gospel music. Such standards as "Give Me That Old Time Religion," sung in the ensemble's deep voices, sound much like pop music of the '50s and '60s. Liner notes include black-and-white illustrations by Ben Shahn and song lyrics.
