[climerrennie]

[toniwhite12]

@climerrennie nope not him but were still trying to find out who the mystery man is

[clucid06]

nice outfits for sure..you should see what women where to church today....a hot mess!

[asiya72]

[enayb]

Mr Ried of Reid's Records in Berekley Ca....His son David has a picture of that

[jddrew1000]

Recorded in 1960

[jddrew1000]

Johneron Davis on soprano

[jddrew1000]

Who are the other people in this pic?

[Dreambro1]

@jddrew1000 I think thats Albertina Looking down at her heels,, i think, i might be wronge!

[DaSourcespr06]

@Dreambro1 your right, that is Albertina looking down at her feet.

[jddrew1000]

@DaSourcespr06 So is that Delores Washington on the left? And Cassietta in the back? and who's the dude?

[DaSourcespr06]

@jddrew1000 Shirley Caesar at mike, Delores Washinton behind her, the Josephine Howard in glasses, Cassietta George in Back, and Albertina looking down at shoes. The man I have no idea.

[jddrew1000]

@DaSourcespr06 Wow I'm good.

[jollysincere]

@DaSourcespr06 This looks like Brooklyns famed Washington Temple. I think the man is the late Rev. Frederick Washinton, who was the Bishop of Washington Temple.

[pookiechristopher]

Is that Josephine Howard with her trademark cat glasses behind Shirley?The caravans look very lady like in those dresses.

[DaSourcespr06]

that is indeed her, I love those glasses..lol!

[pookiechristopher]

Source I wish there was a video of the Caravans and their legendary concerts live .If anyone had those videos wow.I bet my friend the late Rev. Lawrence Roberts has those he was their producer back in the day .One day when Bitsey (his wife) feels up to it I'am goin to talk to her about them.I bet he has some great stufff.He and I use to talk about all his recorded videos and the list was phenominal as well as priceless.

[DaSourcespr06]

Thats great! highly encourage it! It's amazing how much gospel history is not being told and shared bc we are not seeking to ask people about it!

[HarryW1234]

@pookiechristopher.

So much history is lost to the third generation because people didn't think to ask, or thought it might not be their place to ask.

ASK! :o)

[athorpe630]

Actually they are past there knees but back then that was still to short.Go girls!!

[jmr2shy1]

i have never seen this pic before or seen them with short dresses on either

[MrRocky9000]

lol..Shirley looks like a little girl wearing grown up shoes..... I didn`t know they ever showed their legs back then. this has got to be an extremely rare pic..Thanks

[gospelfanman]

yea... and now since she's so high and mighty and is "through" with the group that made her... THE CARAVANS... Shirley now shows everyone her A@@. shame on you shirley! your us more LEGS!

[Darneloh]

HUH?!

[Luvman1]

Don't hate on Shirley Caesar! Do you know her personally?in fact even if you do, it is not wise to speak negatively about the people of God!

[alalal665]

@gospelfanman . you are so wrong and direspectful and i dont like. dont you ever again fix yo mouth to say something negative about shirley, you bastard. its folk like you who keep church goers out of the church. and the group didnt make her god made her. and you kknow what keep on making those comments and i'd report you. you darn hypocrit. or maybe you're just hateful and wish you had it like shirley. which you'd never in yo life would keep acting like that. and god dont like it.

[deeeff1000]

@alalal665 LAY OFF THAT GUY! YOUR screenname should end in 666!!! and you say that YOU are going to report "HIM"? you call him a "hypocrit" & a "bastard"? by the way... STOP fighting other folks' battles. Shirley can give a d*mn less about flunkies. Ask the Caravans who sang in her ABSENCE on PAVED THE WAY

[liljostens91]

@alalal665 i don't even know why you'll is fightin' about this. it really don't make any sense. people have their opinions. u can't change the way people think. i wouldn't even pay that dude no mind. just keep goin'. people gon' have sump' un ta' say. i don't pay it no mind.

[Commentarian1]

Rocky, I'm with you bro.. these skirts and shoes don't seem quite right, lol

[WoodeytheBigEyedOne]

[Darneloh]

[brotherman09]

Well GLORY.....They were wearing them Good ole dresses showing them Legs! LoL You could tell Shirley was killin whatever song she was singing LoL Ok Mr. King Caravan there's just no revealing your stuff huh Master LoL

[tharealbeblessed]

YAY OAKLAND! LOL Oakland auditorium haven't heard that name in years

[JayEm86]

Sweet baby Jesus, where did you find that pic?! They were looking good back then! lol. Josephine was working those glasses wasn't she? Delores was partially obscured, but I bet she was holding down those high notes as usual. I see Cassietta back there, I know she was holding it down as well. Tina and Josephine were probably squalling to high heaven, but Tina looks more concerned with that stray mic cord more than anything else. And what's up with brotha man standing there?

[DaSourcespr06]

LoL..the Master never tells his secrets! And lol..Tina is concentrating on that mic chord pretty hard!

[Darneloh]

I'm also cracking up at how Tina ended this song lol!

[kbolden07]

Tina must've said Shirley I'm tired come on and end this song!!!

[DaSourcespr06]

lol!

[kenny1944]
