Thsi brother should be in the Gospel Hall of Fame.

[gospellin]

Since the Soul Stirrers have already been inducted and he was there in the begining, that would include him also.

[tweedles99]

How old was he at the time of this recording? My God, he sounds incredible and he had been singing since the late 1930's! ...Never Turn Back.

[gospellin]

I believe he was probably in his early 70's??

[leesterg]

@tweedles99: He was 62 years old--what a voice!

[soulman1950]

Love this music keep them coming please.

[ppcs7]

This album came out in 1989 if im not mistaken

[ppcs7]

This album is R.H. Harris and The Masonic Qiuntet its a very good album

[carolynkayeat]

Beautiful song...does sound very modern though.... like it was made recently...R.H. Harris was one of the best vocalists of his time....

[aproctor900]

I agreed 100%.

[aproctor900]

R H Harris was a great singer. When was this made? What album is this on?

[gospellin]

I don't remember the album because i borrowed it from a friend and just copied it and added some of his other work to it. The selections he did for Sam Cooke with the Gospel Paraders and for Columbia Records. i have to contact my friend about the original lp/ i must add it's a fantastic album

[thebestyear84]

does anyone have any of his wife Jeanette Price's music with the Golden Harps?

[gospellin]

It's an amazing album . According to the discography book Pop Harris recorded the "Because He Lives Lp in 1978. But I agree it does have a modern sound

[JayEm86]

I didn't know this recording was that old. All of that synthesized instrumentation had me thinking more like late 80s or early 90s.
