  • this is not live i have this recording in a stidio with jessie dixon hitting the hi notes

  • The album cover and the Hayes and Laughton Gospel Discography both say it was recorded at King Solomon Baptist Church.

  • This is the same group that backed him on "Sing me an old song....like mama used to sing......" (can't remember the title...lol)

  • I know the song you're talking about. I've seen it called "Old Time Religion" and "Good Enough for Me", the latter title is probably more correct and is not to be confused with another song of a similar title done with Rev. Cleveland and a choir, and later done by Rance Allen.

    The versions that I've come across titled "Old Time Religion" have drums dubbed in, which takes away from the originality of the recording. The drums sound out of the 70s, out of place. "Good Enough For Me" is original.

  • @WoodeytheBigEyedOne That is Hulah Gene Hurley, most likely, Sounds like her.

  • Jessie did hit the high notes.....He still does...

  • Inez Andews wrote a song called name it & claim it and Sallie did just that as she did with a few other of Inez's songs, but then if you own your own publishing house you could do anything.

  • James wrote this one but knowing Sallie she would have put her name to is just ask Inez Andews.lol

  • I wonder did Sallie have her pen and paper writing this down lol

  • Imogene??? But she was a contralto

  • LOL!!
