The Sermon
The Original Five Blind Boys of Alabama
Specialty
Release Date:1993
CD Length: 70'35"

 This is a collection of early recordings by one of the greatest gospel vocal groups. Besides the founding members including Clarence Fountain, George Scott, Olice Thomas, and Johnny Fields, the album also features other singing preachers such as Rev. Samuel K. Lewis, Rev. Paul Exkano, Rev. George W. Warren, and Rev. Percell Perkins. It is rather surprising that these beautiful songs were recorded between 1952 and 1957 but never previously released with the exceptions of "Heaven on My Mind" and "I'm Going Through."
