• Lyhyt kuvaus The Wings over Jordan Choir had an impact unequalled in the American music history. Led by their originator, Rev. Settles, they first appeared on the public scene in the late 1930s. They became the first full-time professional black choir in the USA. The WOJC was so proficient and versatile, that in the period 1938-1949, they performed before sold-out, non-segregated audiences in over forty American and European countries, Canada and Mexico. By utilizing the powerful Columbia Radio Broadcasting net work and selling gramophone records, WOJC influenced the minds of millions of Americans during the entire World War II and beyond. This CD is the first ever to present a broad perspective of this hugely popular choir’s achievements. It contains some of their early and scarce radio broadcasts, including a V-Disc, as well as selected performances from commercial record companies, which helped immortalize the WOJC during the 1940s-1950s.
