In the Words of the Bishop: "The Real Deal"

"What can you say about a group that has been going strong since the 1940's. This is Gospel the way it is meant to be heard. No electronic wizardry. There aren't too many groups that when they play, the live audience is so physically overwhelmed, there are waiting ambulances to tend to them. This is typical of the music you will hear on any given Sunday in a real down-home Southern Gospel Baptist Church, as also in New York where I am from. I also suggest listening to their Live album recorded in different venues in Europe. The Five Blind Boys of Mississippi was the inspiration for many of the modern day groups you hear today. I do not think you will be disappointed."
