SHOUT! BLACK GOSPEL MUSIC MOMENTS - What a Friend We Have in Jesus - Reba Jones (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Big-voiced Reba Jones got her start at a very young age singing with the Shady Grove Free Will Baptist Church in tiny Scronton, South Carolina. She finally made it to New York City in the early ‘60s to join the under-rated Six Wings Gospel Singers. The Six Wings performed through the Northeast, including the Apollo Theater. When the Six Wings finally disbanded, Jones continued as a solo artist. Her best-known recording is the LP Jesus is the One You Need for a small New York-based label in 1980.
SHOUT! Black Gospel Music Moments - All These Things to Me by The Stars of Virginia (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Stars of Virginia were founded in 1960 with four talented members of the Celestial Choir of Shiloh Baptist Church in Richmond, Virginia. Their energetic live shows created a strong fanbase throughout the mid-Atlantic states until they caught the ear of veteran producer Richard Simpson. The resulting LP, Lift Every Voice and Sing for the powerhouse Atlantic Records label, is a stunner.

The Echoes toured relentlessly with their old-fashioned Sallie Martin-styled gospel, complete with doo-wop harmonies. The quartet finally made it into the studio of the tiny Golgotha Record label in Lodi, New Jersey, in 1967, for their one and only LP, Shout for Jesus. The backing band is amateurish, especiall
SHOUT! Black Gospel Music Moments - Get Right Church by Lillie Jenkins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If Stan Lewis’ Jewel Records released it – believe it. From its humble beginnings in Shreveport in 1963, Jewel and its sister label Paula released consistently good music, as well as some of the best African American preaching LPs ever recorded. Today it is best known for John Fred & His Playboy Band’s #1 hit, “Judy in Disguise (with Glasses),” but artists ranging from John Lee Hooker and Lightnin’ Hopkins to the Uniques recorded for Jewel. Jewel’s gospel artists were equally compelling, includi
