This is sooo nice!!! That sounds like Eugene Mumford. This group would become the Larks on Apollo. T Ruth would record an LP on Sam Cooke's SAR label in 1961 Called "Laughs From The Pulpit. Great LP...
Is this group from Columbus Ohio? Their was a group of men called the Harmonaires that were friends of my father. This would be in th 40's sound the same
No, they were based in North Carolina. They usually called themselves the Selah Singers. I haven't heard Ohio's Harmonaires but I think they sang barbershop like the Mills Bros.
Thurman Ruth had a gospel radio program on WSRC in Durham, N.C. I had heard about the Selah Singers from my father. T Ruth reformed the group and made "That Awful Day in Dallas" after President Kennedy's assassination. He later moved to New York.
Thanks for posting. I have a very old record that I listen to often. They album was from the Selah Jubilee Singers. Songs such as Joshua, Ezekial saw the wheel and many others. They were really fantastic!
do you have " The Downward Road" ?

Thurmon was a dear friend of mine, and I miss him dearly.
I hope Blinky, Petey, and all his children are doing well.

They were on an album with Marian Anderson that I found recently. They are not easy to find.

Bro. T Ruth was and good friend of my parents, and as long as I knew him and his family I didn't know about his group until I got older.
