OUTSTANDING!!!! Something you might hear on an AM station on the far end of the dial in the early morning in mid August while driving down a two lane rural blacktop in south Georgia...peaches on one side of the road and cotton on the other......and you can see the steam just rising up out of the earth....fantastic song! Nobody tops Archie Brownlee!!
Nobody sang and shouted harder than Brownlee. Though I admittedly enjoy Clarence Fountain and June Cheeks just as much, I have to say Brownlee was one of a kind!
Between Brownlee, Henry Johnson, P.L. Perkins and Roscoe Robinson, I don't know if there's anyone else that sang as hard as they did. They tore up a lot of benches between them!!!
My dearly beloved dad used to tell me they nicknamed Archie Brownlee CLOUD because he could hit those high notes!! What gospel songs memories I had as a child!!! I LOVE GOD WITH MY WHOLE HEART BODY AND SOUL!!!
We had 'singings' in the small wooden churches in Mississippi too. Sadly, a lot of those little churches used the quartets to come have singings as fond raisers to build new immaculate churches that they are not welcomed in now.
@packard400I'm originally from Americus Georgia. Child, you got me homesick. yes it was a very different time, but in many ways it was a good time. One time in particular i remember so well, In the summer of 1957, We went to a Singing in Albany Georgia at Monroe High School. On the show were the Caravan's, The Ward Singers, Harmonizing 4, and closing things out were the Mighty Davis Sisters. Honey, let me tell you! that auditorium was rocking. Good God almighty!
@jollysincere .....I happen to be in Savannah, Ga today, and the day I was describing is going on at this very moment!!! Perfect "rural south in the summertime" tune!!! Thanks for the reply!!!!!!
@packard400 Yes this is the way i was way back in the day. We used to call it "A Singing" at some little country church. People would be fanning and just swaying from side to side. Those little country towns sprinkled across Georgia between macon and albany or from Augusta to Columbus..Yeah, it was a real good time.
@bestdress87 This is from a CD (and LP) called You Done What The Doctor Couldn't Do from swedish based label Gospel Jubilee released in 1989. It's a compilation of 18 great songs from the golden era by The Original Five Blind Boys Of Mississippi. Maybe this CD/LP is hard to find today, one have to search record shops on the web. I saw amazon.co.uk had several records and mp3 downloads by The Blind Boys.
Where do you rate Joe Ligon, Willie Neal Johnson, Willie Banks, Melvin Williams, Lee Williams, Robert Blair, Clarence Fountain, Clay Graham and Paul Porter? I wish I could have seen Archie, June and Clara Ward.
That's a shame, to often progress doesn't always bring about good things. I very well remember those times back in the 1950s,when those Golden Groups of that era would come into a church or auditorium,and just demolish the place. The Female Groups were dangerous! Especially the Wards & Davis Sisters.

Used to listen to this song, and every time that part where Archie says "Jeeeeeeeesus Knows" gets me.
LOVE ARCHIE BROWNLEE AND THE FIVE BLIND BOYS, I STILL HAVE SEVERAL LP's

The Great "Archie Brownlee" And The Blind Boys. The Voice!!
Between Brownlee, Henry Johnson, P.L. Perkins and Roscoe Robinson, I don't know if there's anyone else that sang as hard as they did. They tore up a lot of benches between them!!!
Those my boys......even though their old enough to be my grandfathers.....God bless the souls of the ones gone on!
One of the songs that helped heal me!
My dearly beloved dad used to tell me they nicknamed Archie Brownlee CLOUD because he could hit those high notes!! What gospel songs memories I had as a child!!! I LOVE GOD WITH MY WHOLE HEART BODY AND SOUL!!!
Tis the achin pain of praise to the One and ONLY True Love which is Jesus my Savior.NEVER earned.FREELY given in His wonderful grace
....had this man lived into the "soul music" era, and gone secular......he would have been a force to be reckoned with..........
Oh, absolutely, so many of the great soul singers credit Archie Brownlee for being their inspiration!
archie Brownlee The Hardest Quartet singer ever to hit ....... Rev julius Cheeks was next in line

CUZS
This is also on japanese CD MCA Gems Blind Boys 1950-1974, but probably even harder to get and much more expensive.
I am in heaven
@packard400 Well that was a nice comment with some poetry, great!

We have wasted so much of our natural resources that we shouldn't ever again complain about what we don't have,yes we "blue" it.
