"When I Come Home" by the Dell-Vikings and Kripp Johnson (1957)
BLACK VOCAL GROUP HARMONY: KRIPP JOHNSON
TK MORE TEXT TO COMEAfter their two initial successes, "Come Go With Me" and "Whispering Bells," the Dell-Vikings struggled to find a similar success. The subsequent releases were slick and well produced, yet often match their success truggled to have another what often elevated was the presence of KJ on lead. Soulful What elevates a dv song to greatness, rather than just competent or toe-tapping pleasantness i . Many slick and well produced. Always good to hear a dv with KJ.
After "Come Go With Me" and "Whispering Bells," the Dell-Vikings produced a string of pleasant ballads and toe-tapping uptempos that never reached the success of those two releases.

BLACK VOCAL GROUP HARMONY (1946) This tune marks the recording debut of the Swan Silvertones. It is in the jubilee style, an approach that emphasized a good melody and a restrained, even blend of voices with a focus on precision rather than emotion. It is one of their most popular numbers. The sound you hear was taken directly from a monophonic vinyl source, "Spirituals" by Swan's Silvertone Si...

By 1949, many quartets had begun moving toward a rawer, more expressive style. You can hear that in this version by the Nightengale Jubal...

BLACK VOCAL GROUP HARMONY (1949) This unique rhythmic, rhyming story record was first recorded by the Evangelist Singers in 1946. Otis Jackson was their lead singer as well as as the song's writer.

BLACK VOCAL GROUP HARMONY (mid to late 1940s) The Four Knights got their start as the Southland Jubilee Singers with the Lang-Worth radio transcription service for which, between 1945 and 1950, they recorded both pop melodies and traditional Black gospel songs. Many of the pop tunes were reissued over the years but very few of the spirituals. This particular song is a standout, and I believe it...
