This was the original Homecoming Video. Bill had arranged for several Gospel Music pioneers to come in record a single and music video singing "Where Could I Go," which was to be included on the GVB's first Southern Gospel album appropriately entitled "Homecoming". However, when the recording session was over, a few of these old friends started reminiscing and singing old songs, for it was not often that they sang together anymore. Bill filmed this little impromtu session, and...history.
I remember Jake doing this song back in the 60's. My sister had a record of his that I really wish was still around. I believe it was my intro to this awesome music. He still had his own hair then too. LOL
Jake Hess one of the finest voices in Gospel Music
