Various Artists - Living Legends Of Gospel, Vol. 1: The Quartets [Good Times] DVD Release Date: October 12, 2004
For the first time on video, legendary quartet singers like The Fairfield Four, Luther Barnes and The Sunset Jublilaires, The Swanee Quintet, The Racy Brothers, Robert Blair and The Fantastic Violinaires, Martin Jacox and Willie Rogers and Company, come together to pay tribute to one another and to pioneer gospel quartets. Hosted by Lou Rawls, who began his career as a quartet singer, covers a century of the music and history that have made the quartet one of the most beloved styles of music. All these living legends share the same stage, taking their turns at the microphone, with a backup band in a church-like concert hall with an enthusiastic audience. 15 tunes, with a lot of old photos and history in between, presented by Rawls. "Precious Lord" is by the whole company, "Noah," "There Must Be A City," and "I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray" by the Fairfield Four, "Soul Stirrers Medley" and "Landed on the Shore" by Martin Jacox, Willie Rogers & Co., "Old Time Religion" and "Doctor Jesus" by Robert Blair and the Fantastic Violinaires," "Sit Down Servant" and "Doctor Jesus" by the Swanee Quintet, "Somebody Touched Me" and "Count It As A Blessing" by The Racy Brothers, "I've Got Heaven on My Mind" and "I'm Going on With the Lord" by Luther Barnes and The Sunset Jubilaires, and the final "Glory Hallelujah" by the assembled groups. This is great authentic gospel music by masters who are still with us, fascinating history and old photos-"Living Legends" is a joy!
