I think we all need some churchin! This is a classic from the 50s with Mahalia Jackson and Nate King Cole.

O.V. Wright: God Bless Our Love

Nice soul song with a gospel touch from O. V. Wright.

Bobby Darin: Simple Song Of Freedom

I had this video posted on my old blog. It has a gospel feel to it, and it truer today then it was 40 years ago.

Sister Rosetta Tharpe: Down By The Riverside

Sister Rosetta Tharpe could play guitar, and even though this live shot is not her at her best, it is still pretty good.

Furry Lewis: When I Lay My Burden Down

Furry Lewis from the same film as Bukka White. For those into rock history, legend has it that a very young Elvis heard Furry playing blues on his front porch in Tupelo Mississippi, and the world was changed:-)

I also think that Forrest Gump taught Elvis to dance!

Ray Charles: America The Beautiful

Only brother Ray could perform this song as it should be. This is without a doubt the greatest version of American The Beautiful that I have ever heard. At times like these we need songs like this to remind us just how good we can be!

God Bless Ray! We Miss You!
