SONG | ARTIST | ALBUM
* I Wanna Thank You | Robert Finley | Hallelujah! Don’t Let The Devil Fool Ya
Kicking it off with thankfulness and a driving beat.
* Count Your Blessings | The Como Mamas, The Glorifiers Band | Move Upstairs
This song will get you moving. Greasy rhythms and powerhouse voices.
* Will The Circle Be Unbroken | Marion Williams | The New Message
Marion Williams’ voice will grab you and hold on to you for every note. You will be changed.
* Gather by the River | Davell Crawford | Our New Orleans
Beautiful piano, lyrics, and song.
* If You Believe Your God Is Dead, Try Mine | The Swan Silvertones | Gloryland Revisited
The first note of the electric guitar will stop you in your tracks. Then you will have excuse not to dance along.
* I’ll Take the Long Road | Naomi Shelton, the Gospel Queens | What Have You Done, My Brother?
Some country gospel blues sung with pain, honesty, and hope.
* It’s Me O Lord | Pastor T.L. Barrett and the Your for Christ Choir | Like a Ship (Without a Sail)
I always think about the power in the room when this track was recorded. Unmatched.
* Farther Along | Ellen McIlwaine | We The People
Amazing song. Makes me think of a country church in the summer. Preferably a gravel road near by and a picnic under a tree after the service.
* My Jesus Is All | The Staple Singers | Amen!
No gospel themed playlist would be complete with The Staple Singers.
* The Way Up The Hill | The Highway Q.C.’s | Jesus Is Waiting
Classic soul sound, harmonies, and rhythm.
* What a Friend We Have in Jesus - Live at New Temple Missionary Baptist Church, Los Angeles, CA, 01/13/72 | Aretha Franklin | Amazing Grace (Live at New Temple Missionary Baptist Church, Los Angeles, CA, 01/13/72)
She won a Grammy for this album, and it is no surprise. Aretha truly is the greatest to have every done it.
