jbaldwin1801- Man they had some church in there! I just love gospel music. Quartets are my favorite. I was raised up listening to them as a kid. I love the gospel keynotes. My mother had all of their 8 track tapes along with the Pilgrim Jubilees and Mighty Clouds Of Joy. I was born and raised in Florida. Now I live in TX. I finally had the chance to see Willie and the gospel keynotes just before he past away. It was something else.
