Hello, gospel mavens — the next broadcast of “Gospel Memories” will be Sunday, November 5 from 3:00 to 7:30 a.m. Central Time on Chicago’s 88.7 WLUW (live webcast on www.wluw.org).
Highlights of the November 5 Broadcast:
— They sang gospel before they sang RnB: in the 1980s, K-Ci and JoJo were members of Little Cedric and the Hailey Singers; and in the 1970s Glenn Jones was a member of the Modulations, singing duets with James Cleveland. Hear it for yourself!
— The Caravans have reunited and have a CD to prove it! We’ll hear samples of their new project, Paved the Way, and some of their 1950s classics for States and Gospel (Savoy) Records. By the way, the ladies look and sound GREAT!
— At 6:30 a.m., Elder Mack C. Mason will stop by the studio to tell us about his new book, Make Room for the Holy Ghost. Many gospel artists are featured in the book and we’ll play some of their music.
— Music In Memoriam: Willie Mae Newberry Garth – Original Gospel Harmonettes, and Paul Arnold – Gospelaires of Dayton, OH
We’ll celebrate these two pioneers’ homegoing by featuring gospel tracks on which they sang lead, or had a key role.
Preacher Feature: Rev. Benny C. Campbell (November 1938 – years before his amazing Apollo sessions)
