The Ramada Singers
Check out the new website, developed by Karl Tsigdinos & John Glassburner, for 20 gospelized versions of secular songs by artists known and unknown (including a quartet called “The Mighty Unknowns”).
Awesome photos, label shots, high quality mp3s. Future chapters will continue exploring the musical interrelationship between the sacred and secular, the sounds of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, made particularly explicit during the Soul Era.
The page is part of the Sir Shambling Deep Soul Heaven site that features plenty of aural and visual goodies.
So get your ’70s on! Throw on that checkered leisure suit, and get on up and over there!
