Gospel music recommendations

Evening chaps.

What can the collective musical genius of the abattoir recommend as a good old fashioned, uplifting, rousing hallelujah type Gospel Album ?

Mahalia Jacksons version of “Come Sunday” from this all time classic album is pretty extraordinary & v spiritual.

That’s a great call Barry. :point_up_2:

Is that one of your fairly huge collection of mostly shit albums Bob?[quote=“ICHM, post:5, topic:1585, full:true”]

I did a class on Gospel music last year.
A couple that come to mind are Mavis Staples, and Elvis did a bit of Gospel singing.
More shortly, when I find my notes.

It is. First pressing too. Sounds like it is recorded on a crisp packet.

Thanks chaps, except @ICHM. I guess I was thinking more in the “Oh Happy Day” Gospel choir type vein.

Blind Boys of Alabama? I think Ben Harper did an album with them a few years ago that was ok

Definitely have a listen to Rosetta Tharpe. Genius.

If she’s good enough for MLK she’s good enough for me.

Well, a couple have already been mentioned; add Al Green, Sam Cooke, Fairfield Four, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Mahalia Jackson.

That’s more like what I was looking for.

Thanks

For those further interested, the story is told here.
Including where a young Elvis Presley, amongst others, learnt part of their style.
