Reminds me of getting ready for church on Sundays in Memphis and listening to the great radio station, WDIA. Man, great memories! Thanks for posting!

That version sounds very much like the Soul Stirrers track
on the recording of the Shriner's Concert at the Oakland
Coliseum in 1955, a landmark event event in the history
of the black gospel (or as some say, simply 'gospel,' )
recording field. It's a double CD, maybe the label is
Specialty Records. Gospel was not the same after that
event.

@rufus3rd Her name was Bertha Lee Franklin and the shooting was ruled Justifiable Homicide. In other words, she shot him in self defense. Anyway, she died some eighteen months later. The other girl in the case, Lisa Boyer also was also found not guilty. In 1979, she was found guilty of 2nd degree murder in the shooting death of her lover, Louis Reynolds. She received a sentence of 2 to 5 years in a California prison. That's about all I know.

I just got a message that this will be taken from me. Matters not that I sent for this tape and Its by The Beautiful Music Company I think. It was on assortment of gospel songs [Copyright reasons]
Its been getting too many views I suppose.
