Love that song and the groups early recordings. Thanks for the video! Do you have any live videos from the 40s, like "A song was born" or "The captain jumped at dawn"?

Elvis liked these guys and was at one of their shows in Europe when he was drafted into the U.S. army.

Elvis used to use gospel singing sessions like this to warm up his voice before concerts and recording sessions.
