Shirley actually recorded this song `The Old Apple Tree` in 1977. Originally it was not on an actual album but it was released as a 45 record single on the flip side of the popular song `Faded Rose` also recorded in 1977. `Faded Rose` is from the 1977 album called `First Lady` on the `Roadshow` record label . Next was `From the Heart` album in 1978 also on Roadshow. The next label she signed with was `Word Records` in 1980 and stayed there until recently. She has her own record label now.
Thanks for posting, but this was not released in 1984...THIS IS REALLY REALLY OLD and was released even before I was born...Like in the 60's or 70's...Pastor Caesar was on a Major Label in the 80's which was Rejoice (Now WORD Records)....and in 1984 was the Album "SAILIN"...
This came from an album with 5 other Hob artists released in 1984 and sold on TV. I have a feeling it may be something she did for HOB and they held it in the can for that purpose.
I'm s excited right now because my church choir practied this for the first time @ Choir practice this evening

I've been a Shirley Caesar fan since the day I was born, but I don't remember this song. What year was it released?
