A friend sent me this recently. James Cleveland recorded his version with the Gospel All Stars on the Apollo label in 1953. Ray Charles recorded "Hallelujah I Love Her So" in 1955. Interesting stuff.
The Best of Doug Sahm & The Sir Douglas Quintet 1968 - 1972 (Mercury)
Some of this wouldn't be my choices - though some would - still, some fine, fine music.
Yeah - I did pick that up against my better judgement. I usually don't buy recordings that aren't authorized by the musician involved - especially if they're still living. I made an exception in this case, and I feel a little guilty when I listen to it.
The first Sonny Rollins album I listened to (probably wasn't the best place to start for someone new to the music, but it worked out) and still a favorite. My copy's a mono. It was long enough ago that I didn't have a stereo player.
