from Nuggets Of The Golden Age Of Gospel (1945-1958) - a wonderful compilation

THANKS WIKIPEDIA: The Stewart family was a deeply-religious middle-class household from Denton, Texas. The parents, K.C. and Alpha Stewart, held the family together under the doctrines of the Church of God in Christ (COGIC) and encouraged musical expression in the household.[1] Born 15 March 1943,[2] Sylvester Stewart was the second of five children raised in Vallejo, in the northern San Francisco Bay Area. After the family moved from Denton, Texas to Vallejo, Sylvester and his brother Freddie and their sisters Rose and Vaetta formed "The Stewart Four" as children, performing gospel music in the Church of God in Christ and even recording a single local release 78 rpm single, "On the Battlefield" b/w "Walking in Jesus' Name", in 1952. The eldest sister, Loretta, was the only Stewart child not to pursue a musical career. All of the other Stewart children would later adopt the surname "Stone" and become members of Sly & the Family Stone.

  • Whoever you are: thanks for putting this up. It's really good to know more about this great talent and I love hearing his young sincere voice, if that's Sylvester singing. He must have been 9 years old when this was recorded ! Amazing.

  • Thanks for posting this ! This is a jewel !

  • I'm walking in Jesus' name. I'm playing on a honky tonk piano, a gibson guitar, and a liquor microphone. When I fall, when I stumble, when I get up and rumble. Things aren't the same. Oh, Lord, forgive me when I take your name in vain. LOL.

  • Sly's roots

  • Very Interesting... Thanks for posting!!!
