Starting All Over Again - Swanee Quintet (Creed 3077) 1977

This time it is Johnny Jones, and you can hear why he's considered one of Gospel's greatest voices. He had the soaring suppleness of Sam Cooke burled by the roughness of a hard Gospel lead. The long-time Swanee Quintet tenor left the group for a spell as a solo Gospel star, before "crossing over" to cut one rhythm & blues single for Fury. He ultimately returned to the Swanees for the terrific LP "From Augusta with Love." The highlight is this song Phillip Mitchell penned for Mel & Tim, with the lyrics altered to reflect Jones' own journey back to the Gospel fold. We too were glad to have him back with the Swanee Quintet to "gather around the microphone" and let us hear his exquisite voice once more.The article and "Starting All Over Again" were downloaded from:
