Give me that Old Time Religion

Because he knew of my love of the old musics, fellow youtuber Heinbanjo gave me a box full of wonderful 78's. (Thank you, Hein!!)
I will try to film these and post them for everyone to enjoy over at my other account, misterjellyroll, where you can now see a film about Louie Bluie.

This is the first one; I found this one intriguing, as I had never heard of it. It's Professor Johnson and his Gospel Singers, on a 1950's Vocalion record, who do a spirited rendition of "Old Time Religion". Hope you enjoy it.

I remember that, my aunt had a EP with four tunes of these gospelsingers. Probably Philips. It was late 50 or begin 60 that I heard that EP.

Could it have been Brunswick? A couple of EP's on this label were apparently available of this group in the fifties.

I like this!

I lately found a LP from beginning 60s with this on it. It's one of the best way of singing this song.

Thanks for posting this Vocalion Record.

Guys you may not believe me ,but this song was partly translated to Czech and and it was sing as a kind of underground movement anthem. The song adaptation was done by Svata Karasek the Czech great underground figure, evangelic priest and currently MP in Czech parliament. I think that every music which is authentic passes one day its borders . Any way I love gospel songs as I can feel real emotions behind this so beautiful music and lots of love - which takes me up up :-)

I like this almost as much as my version, except for that chant stuff in the beginning.
