Narroway, 1950s/1960s. New Copy 2 CDs
CD...$24.99
29.98
A fantastic set of gospel tracks from the 50s and 60s – one that definitely takes the Civil Rights theme in the title seriously, but in ways that are often a bit more subtle than you might expect! Gospel music was key to the strivings of under-represented Americans during these years – ... CD
Pastor TL Barrett & Youth For Christ Choir
Do Not Pass Me By – Vol 2Universal Awareness/Numero, 1973. New Copy (reissue)
The even more obscure second volume to the great soul/gospel classic Do Not Pass Me By – and like the first, the product of a wonderfully spiritual setting on Chicago's south side – music created in the church, but with all the same vibe as the hippest secular soul coming from the Windy ...

LP...$18.99
19.99
A gem of a gospel set from the legendary Nashboro catalog – crafted by a very hip male sextet from Detroit – one who are clearly open to letting a lot of blues and soul influences into their music! One of the key elements from those styles here is spare but strong use of guitar or ... LP, Vinyl record album
Nashboro/Third Man, 1950s/Early 60s. New Copy
A fantastic collection of postwar gospel recordings from the legendary Nashboro Records – one of the most important imprints for the music back in the 50s and 60s!

Como Mamas
Move UpstairsDaptone, 2017. New Copy
LP...$9.99
18.99
A second fantastic set from this Mississippi gospel trio – and one that mixes their heavenly vocals with a bit of Daptone Records funk! The set's produced by Bosco Mann, who also plays bass in the quartet that backs up the singers – and the groove is raw and gritty, with a vibe that ... LP, Vinyl record album
Harlem Gospel Travelers
He's On Time (clear vinyl pressing – with bonus download)Colemine, 2019. New Copy

LP...$13.99
17.98

Mighty Clouds Of Joy
KickinABC, 1975. Sealed
Kickin it is – as the album's way more than just the typical gospel you might expect – and is a perfect example of the way the Mighty Clouds Of Joy helped cross the bridge between secular and spiritual sounds in the 70s!

Detroit Gospel Reissue Project, 1960s/Early 70s. Near Mint-

Long Dusty Road – The Soul-Gospel Sounds Of The Art Reynolds SingersCapitol, Late 60s. Very Good
Beautiful work from the Art Reynolds Singers – a group that, for our money, was the best-ever crossing of soul and spiritual vocals!
