Jubalaires - Noah

Soundie --1946
The Jubalaires, standing in front of a backdrop painting of a funky Noahs ark, begin singing in acapella the title song for the soundie Oh, Noah (1946).

The jubilee harmonie sound always got them compared to the Mills Brothers or the Delta Rhythm Boys, but that's about like hearing Jerry Lee Lewis & because it's rock & roll saying it's like Chuck Berry.

The Jubilaires brought their own stylization to the four-part harmonies act, remaining in the gospel & spiritual camp unlike most such groups seeking pop group status.

Most but not quite all their songs were for the Lord, but even those among us who find religion merely superstitious will nevertheless find excitement in the folkloric sophistication of the Jubalaires' sound.

I presume it affects believers in a different way, but there's not a body who won't be at least tapping their toes while the entire tale of Noah & the ark unfolds in gospel harmonizings
