CHALICE

C-100 The Christian Harmonizers - Don't Need No Doctor / Jesus Will Send Down His Blessings
C-101 The Pattersonaires - Why Not Try My God / How Long Oh Lord How Long
C-102 The Dixie Nightingales - Assassination / Hush Hush
C-103 The Dixie Nightingales - I Don't Know / Keep On Trying
C-104 The Stars Of Virginia - Wade In The Water / God's Got A Way
C-105 The Dixie Nightingales - Forgive These Fools / There's Not A Friend
C-106 The Jubilee Hummingbirds - Our Freedom Song / Press My Dying Pillow
C-107 The Pattersonaires - God's Promise / He's Worthy

Some good tracks here, and what's astonishing is that The Dixie Nightingales' "All I Need Is Some Sunshine In My Life" was never legitimately released until 1997.

    Of course, I will be buying all three volumes, unless it's on some 180-Gram Audiophile $35.99 bullshit.

    my lips are sealed for the time being on what label(established indie), but the rights to Designer have been purchased from the Wooten family(unfortunately no records or master tapes), and track selection and digital transfers are in the early stages...but it is being done by a long time designer collector and is being done here in Memphis...I recently was able to dig through and check out a few hundred Designers with the compliler (my DJ partner) recently...the compliler had a couple hundred titles to begin with and recently a few hundred more were unearthed down in MS, which were unknown to us...there were some freakin facemelters in there...but its estimated there are over a 1000 different 45s(!) and a handful of LPs...

    font class="post"1b,121b, 21but we're not talking about funk and soul, were talking about GOSPELb,121b,121and the reason why the supply seems endless is because most gospel, starting around 1960, has been overlooked as far as reissues go. all the smaller labels really haven't been covered in depth. maybe the bigger indies like nashboro, but after that, not much. so the stuff is out there

    font class="post"1b,121b, 21no, it doesnt surprise me. gospel folks are out in the world like everyone else, they dont live in a vacuum. if, in 1968, the violinaires decided to deliver the word with a boogaloo beat, it shouldnt be a shock. more like a logical extension.

    font class="post"1b,121b, 21No dis, but I have no idea what your point is. b, 21b, 21Black spiritual music, and Black popular music have always been linked. At least back to the first recordings of New Orleans Jazz, and delta blues and most importantly Tom Dorsey. Seems like both an extension and natural to me. b, 21b, 21The evolution of both styles have had many parallels. Gospel has often tried to pretend that it has nothing to do with popular music. This has resulted in gospel innovations occasionally lagging behind pop innovations. b, 21b, 21I'm not sure if I have addressed what you are trying to say and i am sure it has nothing to do with the Chalice label, which I don't think I have ever seen or heard, but I want to.

    font class="post"1b,121b, 21b, 21These are two seemingly conflicting statements. Taken in context, it's easy to "assume" that CoolHands was either poorly served by his phrasing or was actually speaking out of turn. CH: I have no problem with either conclusion, and I'm sure that you're a nice guy, but you can see why D*n and I are confused and I recommended you some releases that are well in line with the notion of gospel hybrids. I meant what I said in a jocular sense.b, 21b, 21b,121b, 21And as an aside to Kala: P33's "know it all schtick" is honestly more a matter-of-fact statement. You have to know the man as a man to know that he's never lording information over anyone. Just saying.

    There is a 1997 Chalice comp that surprisingly leaves off half of the 16 discographical tracks, yet adds about 15-17 more. Worth it for the inclusion of "All I Need Is Some Sunshine in My Life" alone.b, 21b, 21 a href="http://product.half.ebay.com/_W0QQtgZdetailsQ2drefreshQQprZ3254230" target="_blank"1link/a1

    Just because it hasn't actually been said yet: up to a certain point R&B borrows more from gospel (well hell, it really is just secularizing gospel) than vice versa. It's the late 60s thru early 80s where gospel echoes what's happening in popular music rather than the other way around.
