By Robert M. Marovich
Betty Griffin Keller, a former Cleveland Singer, member of the Southern California Community Choir and GMWA Mass Choir, and a solo recording artist, is back with her version of Rudolph Stanfield’s “Come Go With Me.”
In a rough-edged take-no-prisoners voice, Keller invites the live audience to travel with her, when the time comes, to that eternal kingdom over yonder where they can tell the saints how they got over. She then invites the Reverend Bruce Parham to join her in the singing, evangelizing, and journeying, and he matches her shout for shout. Although the radio version edits out what appears to be an electrifying ending, there’s plenty to appreciate here.
