"I have never heard of this group before last night (8/18). I saw them open for Tom Petty in San Diego and they were awesome. To see men that posess such a Love for Jesus inspires me. The music is wonderful and boy can they hold a note, and the vocal range is phenomenol. God Bless these brothers in Christ Jesus."

One of the best gospel.

"Great album from early 50's.

Lead vocal of Clarence Fountain is great, but there are other great vocalist Exkano and Warren - gruff tenors

Lewis and Scott - gruff baritones.

Majority from this material are alternative versions, but great.

For me song highlights are Without The Help Of Jesus, Sit Down Servant - super version with Exkano, Precious Lord - longer then on original release album, Marching Up To Zion - for me better then on original release album, Swingin' On The Golden Gate - jazzy, Hallelujah, and two singles - Heaven On My Mind and I'm Going Through with great Fountain's tenor.

Essential for all gospel fans."
