Jesus Remembers was the first song I heard by these guys. Claud's tenor and falsetto were unsurpassed, along with his vocal control. The singing skills of the others shouldn't be dismissed, however. The combination was unforgettable. I hope people won't let the earlier styles pass too far into history.

Claude Jeter and The Swan Silvertone were church wreckers supreme. Never given their just due,underpaid and underated these gentlemen knew their business. Once they left the premises you never forgot their names. The Swan Silvertone with Claude Jeter singing lead. What A treat...Thanks for the Post.

Rev.Jeter's my singing hero!

I love the way he sings 'Jesus Remembers' !

And he's also my heart fixer.

Every time I visited him in Harlem in the 1990s,

he gave me warm welcome and sang with me

along with some members of the Melotones.

Thank you, Rev.Jeter! Say hi to Jesus for me.

I know you're up there with Him!

Love, Makoto from Kawasaki, Japan

Thank all you kids, you, Roroaches and others for keeping this old school gospel alive because radio stations all but forgotten gospel's roots. If it was not for old school, it would not be any Tye Tribbetts, or Mary Mary's or others. And my condolences to the Jeter family.
