Okay so this was an integrated band. The song is a excellent cover of a great Elmore James song.

My first exposure to Mike Bloomfield...

lomotil's post of the Chamber Bros. inspired me on this one which I've actually been meaning to post for a while

Of course was famously sampled by A Tribe Called Quest on their hit record I Left My Wallet in El Segundo.

Sam Cooke with The Soul Stirrers in his Gospel days...

Both Sam Cooke and Johnnie Taylor did great work with The Soul Stirrers

Gonna rep some underrated Canadian soul right here. Remy Shand won a Juno for this record. Its aged very well. The two big tracks from it were Take a Message and the title track but this one is my favorite

OK so now I'm inspired to post a few of my Gospel favourites. I may be Jewish, but I love Gospel, and if one of the greatest Christmas albums of all time could be imagined and produced by Phil Spector (before he was a murderer), why not!
