A key early record for the EdwinHawkinsSingers – issued right after the group had changed their name from the less-catchy Northern California State Youth Choir! The record contains Hawkins' huge hit "Oh Happy Day" – done with soloist Dorothy Morrison, a voice that was strong enough to push this one from the gospel market right onto the pop charts! Other tunes follow in a similar style, really hitting hard for the soul generation – and tracks include "I'm Going Through", "Early In The Morning", "Joy Joy", and "To My Father's House". LP, Vinyl record album
(Blue label pressing – distributed by Buddah. Cover has a cutout notch, minimal wear, and a yellowed sticker spot.)
Classic work from EdwinHawkins and the EdwinHawkinsSingers – a unique gospel group who scored big on the pop charts with some very righteous singles! Edwin's group had an intense sound – one that brought a righteous approach that had an undeniable influence on a lot of soul music at the time, and which also was the precursor for groups like Sounds Of Blackness in later years. LP, Vinyl record album
