I love me some youtube and while surfing around, I ran into
the Gospel Legends. I’ve read that they were all brought together by Malaco
records. I mean just searching the crowd you can find so many well known names
in Gospel music. Not only will you find faces you know but will be introduced
to new faces and new music. This truly was an historic even to have all these
Gospel legends in one room singing for the glory of the lord.
Just to name a few: Donald Vails on piano, Billy Preston on
Organ, The Barrett Sisters, Albertina Walker, Delores Washington, Dorothy
Norwood, Shirley Caesar, Inez Andrews, Vernon Oliver, Doris Akers, Kitty
Parham, Richard Smallwood, Lou Della Evans, Mosie Burks, Bobby Jones, Jessy
Dixon, Edwin Hawkins, Walter Hawkins, Maceo Woods, and I just can’t name them
all.
There are a series of videos where you will see some take
leads and the rest of the legends sing behind them like a wonderful mass choir!
It’s amazing you see the comradely between the greats of Gospel music. Nobody was
trying to over sing to make a show but a sharing of the microphone and just
lifting their voices to praise God.
