Mighty Clouds Of Joy - Its Time (1974) | Philly Soul Meets Gospel

It's Time [Dunhill, 1974]
You'd figure the showiest of all gospel groups would sell out with some flair, but the vocal transfigurations--that old Wilson Pickett (and Julius Cheeks) unhh born again--aren't the only reason this is one of the best LPs ever to come out of Philadelphia. For once, the songs--many of them from producer Dave Crawford, whose spirit must have been moved--include virtually no filler, not even (especially not even) the one that takes off from the group's name. Nicest conceit: how hard it is to be soft in a "Stoned World." A- - Robert Christgau

I was a freshmen in high school when this came out and the clouds became my favorite Soul Gospel group for all time!!! Listening to this takes me back to simple times and when music was at its BEST! Makes me feel so good and warm all inside to the depths of my soul! My my my, Soooo GOOD!!!

whenever I hear Mr Ligon's voice, I think of FIRE comin out of his mouth...his voice was just pure FIRE...he is an irreplaceable legend. RIP, Mr Ligon.

I have loved this album since it was released. Every song touched me. Though some criticized it because of the production, they failed to feel the content. Shallow people, I think.

The first album that was done on the ABC Dunhill label was the very best of the clouds without a doubt..

Thanks CLassicaL.

ON THE SONG YOU THINK, Johnny Martin and Joe Ligon was doing the lead vocal, but its hard to pick up on it because they both sound alike

[@PaulSmith-ye7vp]

That was Richard Wallace, and Joe Ligon,and Not Johnny Martin.

Norf Philly in the house.

[@portbizz]

i love the Winans.. but why won't they give these boys credit for pioneering

[@jasonnelson316]

From the pompadours of the 60s to thr fros. Definitely a departure from their quartet sound. A funk album. You can hear the struggle pushing thru some of the tracks.
