"This album, (and thats what they called music on long playing disc back in the day)... was the Blind Boys first venture into the world of contemporary Gospel. Gamble & Huff gave it there Phili International sound. Clearance Fountain, and Sam Butler worked well together and young gospel programers during that time gave some on-air time for this quartet The Five Blind Boys Of Alabama's "I'm A Soldier In The Army"..this is history, and for the first time it is on c.d. (compact disc)thanks to the legendary team of Gamble & Huff,with Messiah Records own Tony Beck and ... and then came "The Gospel At Colonus" produced by Bob Telson...pull this one up at c.d. now..."
Upbeat, a great addition to an eclectic collection

"I saw this group in concert while visiting relatives. They are amazing performers and apparently have been doing this over 50 years. I bought CD's for friends and relatives I knew would be uplifted by this music. It's good stuff!"
