  • This record is held in particularly high regard by gospel fans.
    It is said that Stirrers fans were disappointed when Sam Cooke took over lead from Rebert Harris. That's right, they weren't sure SAM COOKE would be good enough!

    Man, Paul Foster truly was a force of nature. One of my very favorite voices of all time. I'm 23 years old and can vouch for the fact that true artistry in music is a lost art. There are those around who still get it, but you've got to search for them, you'll never hear them on the radio or see them on TV. It's a crying shame. All the more reason to be happy that these recordings will be around for all time. Thanks for posting!

    WOW, R.H Harris. When I was a child growing up on the southside of Chicago, we attended the same church. He lived one block over from me. I'd known him for @ least 12 years before I knew of his legacy. To me, his legacy was being a good dude.

    When I was a kid my father (who is now deceased) used to play the Soul Stirrers, Mighty Clouds of Joy, Dixie Hummingbirds, etc., for hours and hours on Sunday afternoons. Thanks for taking me back to those wonderful times from my childhood.

    No need to compare Sam and Mr. RH Harris; they both had "the gift". R.H. Harris was a model for Sam and many of the other younger singers of that time. In fact, R.H. was the number one influential figure in Black Gospel music. And yes, Paul Foster was a true "Fire Prophet" with a first rate voice; yet he was never really credited as was R.H. and Sam. I play this music for my children and my students. We've got to keep it alive, share it with the children. This is our only hope.

    This was a two-sided 78 shellac released by Specialty Records in 1950. I teach a course in History of Jazz and I use this as an example of how gospel music influenced popular styles that surrounded it. Dig the fully formed blues/rock guitar licks in RH Harris and Paul Foster's testifying solo choruses. These men were the REAL DEAL.

      R.H. Harris was a master at phrasing and yodeling and his singing range was so high, reach so high. Sam could not sing it. that's why Sam would sing "woe oh oh. oh oh oh O. in his songs. He patterned after R. H. Harris.
