lots of fun thanks for the post

They are my favorites. They were showmen and knew how to "sing a song" that would grab people, make them remember the message. I still can't hear "Get away Jordan" and not feel empowered. This is GOSPEL Thanks for posting.

Amen to that!! i totally agree with you! Ernie and SSQ try waaaaay too hard to "put on a good show" and entertain the audience and alot of times it seems that that's why they're in it, like the main focus is not praising and glorifying God anymore... :(

the refrain gives me the shivers. amazing

These men were real and not show biz types like Signature Sound (albeit with good voices). You don't need the flash, hip clothes and fake moves. Just sing like men and demonstrate the gifts that God gave you and praise His Name in song.

yeah and even some of the greats later on were still awesome but now its all show and no go
Utterly, utterly, utterly brilliant!! These guys were the real deal, and how cool was Big Chief? He looked the business and sounded great too. Easy to see why Elvis idolised him and copied his moves! Just watch how Big Chief shakes his leg, Elvis got it from him and admitted as much. The Statesmen were EP favourites from the early 50s all-night gospel meets at the Ellis Auditorium. Brilliant.
