From David April, host of “The Gospel Train”:

John Jefferson, a former bass with the Sensational Nightengales, passed away this evening. I’ll post more information as soon as I get it. Mr. Jefferson joined the The Gales c. 1951, replacing William Henry, and can be heard on many of their early Peacock recordings.
