Tribute to Henrietta Waddy- "Bank In The Sky"

The VERY fiery Henrietta Waddy was a former member of the Famous Ward Singers of Philadelphia, and she actually left the group a little while before Kitty Parham, Esther Ford, Marion Williams, and Frances Steadman. In August of 1958, she re-joined the previously mentioned four names and was a founding member of the Stars of Faith.

This is a song that she did with the Ward Singers, titled "Bank In The Sky"

Are you confused with Gertrude Ward?

Those are the same dates I seen

[Rowoches]

No Sir. I know what I'm talking about. They were both the same age.

[jddrew1000]

So they were born and deceased at the same time?

[Rowoches]

Yes. I can't remember the month Henrietta Waddy died, but it was a little before Gertrude. Gertrude died in November of 1981.

Bless You Brother! I am you're biggest fan! I used to have all these records because my mom worked for malaco records.....unfortunately I lost them in a house fire and these videos remind me of why I enjoy songs that are THEOLOGICALLY SOUND and not foolishness with a tune.......again God bless you and keep 'em comin!
