I remember James Phelps well. He was like an uncle to me. His niece and I have been besties since she was 6 mos and I was a year old. Our families are melded like one. R. I. P. Uncle James. We miss you. ❣️
After James Phelps, Willie Rogers, James Davis, Frank Davis, Eddie Huffman, Larry Hilton Cooke....I enjoyed singing lead in that Sam Cooke Style... Great Times..
Read his powerful and inspiring Life Story inside the book "Whiteballed" True Story Of A Musical Legend. You'll read about his childhood in Shreveport to his days in Chicago!
@@arnibah Perhaps, A. V. I doubt it, though. Jubilee Showcase aired for 21 years, hosting black artists almost exclusively. My sense is that Sid Ordower and Jubilee Showcase were both friends and mentors to black artists. Here is an excerpt I found online that speaks to Sid's character. _"“I didn’t go down there to take a beating, but if it took a beating to safe a life. I’m glad I did it,” said a bruised and battered Sid Ordower as he spoke to reporters after stepping from the plane at Midway in 1951. He has just returned from Jackson, Mississippi, where he had appealed to the Mississippi State Supreme Court for a stay of execution to allow new evidence to be presented in the case of Willie McGee, who had been unjustly convicted of raping a white woman. As a result of that vicious beating by racist thugs, a U.S. Supreme Court Justice intervened and granted a stay of execution."_
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that these songs were like listening to Sam Cooke himself and the church at this time had rejected Sam. How can you reject the man but embrace his sound and style?
Sam Cooke’s imprint on the Soul Stirrers was so profound that, after he crossed over, they hired singers who sounded a lot like Sam for decades to come. Every great Soul Stirrer lead after Sam sounded like him. From Johnny Tailor to Jimmy Outlet to this brother. All adapted Sam’s delivery and had a very similar vocal tone.

There are some songs that you just listen at the words....they are "listening" 😕
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that these songs were like listening to Sam Cooke himself and the church at this time had rejected Sam. How can you reject the man but embrace his sound and style?
@@eddielewis2350 That is an interesting observation, Eddie. Perhaps that was a factor. Thank you for sharing it.
Looks Like Paul Foster had DEPARTED at this point!
Could you guys upload some Bessie Griffin clips?
Who's on bass guitar and the one standing between him and Leroy?
