• Lyhyt kuvaus The Five Blind Boys of Mississippi hold a high ranking in the realms of gospel groups from the Golden Age, having featured the distinctive hard tenor lead vocal of Archie Brownlee since the start of their recording career (as the Jackson Harmoneers) in 1945. They sang up a storm around the southern sates of the USA through the 1950s, having signed with Peacock Records in 1950, and their eight singles for the label yielded an R&B chart hit with Our Father in 1950. Two of the Blind Boys LPs for Peacock, Precious Memories and Father I Stretch My Hands to Thee are combined for this re-issue, having been collectors items for many years. The dynamic call-and-response vocals, laced with Brownlee s searing screams which would influence countless soul singers, served to inspire their audiences through the decade. Following the death of Brownlee in 1960, Henry Johnson carried on the torrid tradition, as can be witnessed in the opening eleven tracks of this anthology, with the great Archie Brownlee featuring on the other selections.
