@packard400I'm originally from Americus Georgia. Child, you got me homesick. yes it was a very different time, but in many ways it was a good time. One time in particular i remember so well, In the summer of 1957, We went to a Singing in Albany Georgia at Monroe High School. On the show were the Caravan's, The Ward Singers, Harmonizing 4, and closing things out were the Mighty Davis Sisters. Honey, let me tell you! that auditorium was rocking. Good God almighty!

....had this man lived into the "soul music" era, and gone secular......he would have been a force to be reckoned with..........

@packard400 Yes this is the way i was way back in the day. We used to call it "A Singing" at some little country church. People would be fanning and just swaying from side to side. Those little country towns sprinkled across Georgia between macon and albany or from Augusta to Columbus..Yeah, it was a real good time.

OUTSTANDING!!!! Something you might hear on an AM station on the far end of the dial in the early morning in mid August while driving down a two lane rural blacktop in south Georgia...peaches on one side of the road and cotton on the other......and you can see the steam just rising up out of the earth....fantastic song! Nobody tops Archie Brownlee!!

@bestdress87 This is from a CD (and LP) called You Done What The Doctor Couldn't Do from swedish based label Gospel Jubilee released in 1989. It's a compilation of 18 great songs from the golden era by The Original Five Blind Boys Of Mississippi. Maybe this CD/LP is hard to find today, one have to search
record shops on the web. I saw amazon.co.uk had several records and mp3 downloads by
The Blind Boys.
