A great album from The Argo Singers – one of the Vee Jay label's best gospel acts back in the 60s! The album has a well-crafted feel that mixes in plenty of early soul elements with the spiritual themes of the tunes – and the lead vocals shift from track to track, but always get plenty ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

A compelling blend of jazz styles and gospel roots – one that has Fontella Bass joining forces with spiritual singers Martha Bass and David Peaston – with a bit of AACM backing thrown in for good measure!

A beautiful album by Chicago soul great Mitty Collier! The records is a gospel album, but it's produced with a style that's very similar to Mitty's classic Chess work. Mitty's backed by a little combo led by organist Charles Pikes, who also wrote many of the tracks on the record with Mitty. ... (Soul, Gospel)read moreLP, Vinyl record album

It's a well-known fact that before Sam Cooke went into soul music, he was cutting some incredible work with the Soul Stirrers gospel quintet – work that was every bit as soulful and sexy as his pop hits, perhaps more so, given the supposedly restrained nature of the setting. This album ... (Soul, Gospel)read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Excellent soulful gospel from the man who practically brought gospel into the mainstream in the early 70s. This album's a few years on from his seminal work, and he's no longer using the Disciples as his backing group, at least not in name, but this effort is an outstanding set of crisply produced ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Great early work from Andrae Crouch & The Disciples – just the kind of soulful set that made the group a big crossover act at the time! Although gospel at heart, the record's got a nicely secular feel in approach – a style that's a bit like some of the other larger group soul of ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

They certainly got the title right on this one – as the album's one of THE soul/gospel crossover albums of the 70s – a masterpiece of majestic soul that's right up there with similar work from the time by Rance Allen and The Mighty Clouds Of Joy. Crouch's vocals are wonderful – ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the deepest records issued on the Peacock label in the 70s – and that's saying a lot, given the soulful sound of the legendary gospel imprint!

Soulful, spiritual sounds from North Carolina legend Johnny Ray Daniels – an artist who started out in soul, but soon found gospel more to his liking – then went on to create a decades-long legacy of wonderful music like this!

Hmm . . . Maybe we'd be afraid, too – if we saw that atom bomb explosion on the cover! A nice Riverside Records release of a Detroit sermon by Aretha Franklin's dad. LP, Vinyl record album
Classic work from this rich-voiced singer – working with guitar from Danny Baker, and piano from James Francis and John Erphraim – plus guest vocals on one track by the 11 year old Anthony Brock! LP, Vinyl record album
(NOTE: Vinyl has an internal crack that makes a click in a spot on one track on each side – but is otherwise in very good shape.)
Forget the gospel part in their name, because The Clefs rock as hard as any doo wop group, and can lay down a harmony ballad with the best of any R&B group from the east coast. This stellar album on Savoy has incredibly strong harmonies, and lots of lead vocals out front with the sort of deep ... (Soul, Gospel)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Al's firmly embraced his religion by this time – and this 1983 gospel release has him singing praises to the lord and the glory of creation. The record was produced by Al himself, and while it's got some weak 80s production touches, there are a few nice tracks that actually sound pretty good ...

Just the sort of record that will show you why guys who often buy rare harmony soul and doo wop are often into gospel too – because a quintet like the Highway QCs are every bit as great as The Spaniels or El Dorados!
