"What this world needs is more men of God like Brother Ely!!! Soon as I started playing this CD I could feel the Holy Ghost Fire run down thru my soul!!! I'm a young Pastor of a small, but growing church, the Happy Corner Pentecostal Church, & would love to tell you , that you wont be disappointed with this CD, as it's songs are truly a part of the great Pentecostal movement of Jesus Christ that swept thru this area many years ago & is still thriving today with many of these great songs being sung in our churches today. I just thank the Lord for this CD & am sure that all of you will enjoy the CD as much as i did."

Hidden roots or rockabilly

"Brother Claude ROCKS! He rocks, he rolls, he preaches, he pleads, he strums and hums, and so on. This is an invaluable recording, capturing authentic country gospel music at its most fervent and moving. For those attempting to unearth the roots of rockabilly, this disc should not be overlooked. Sleepy LaBeef, the great towering rockabilly giant, said what made Elvis different was his gospel feel coming through when he covered Arthur Crudup and Bill Monroe. Claude Ely has a bit of that same feel. The "crossover" and merging of black and white styles that ushered in rock & roll was already taking place in the gospel music world. Check this crazy disc out and see for yourself."

Satan Get Back

"While this is not the best work of Claude Ely, it is all that is apparantly available. Buy this great rendition by one of the greatest mountain gospel singers of all time. It brings tears of joy to my eyes when I hear the jubilation in his voice he was so happy when he sang. I always liked the way he sang Little David play on your harp.



I was fortunate enough to have traveled with Brother Ely and his son Sonny, and nephew Randall. He used to call me his little brother. We traveled through Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas in some wonderful meetings. I was with him in services in Alabama, Kentucky and Indiana and my fondest memories are reserved for the services that I conducted at the church that he formerly pastored in Cumberland, Kentucky.



I can still hear him talk about that little cabin and wife in Pennington's Gap on Puckett Creek in Virginia. The last song I remember hearing was "Go down yonder Gabriel and put your foot on the land and sea, but don't you blow your trumpet until you hear from me cause there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down."



Many of his songs wer sung by greats like Mahalia Jackson and other spiritual singers, but not with the spirit and love of Claude Ely.



We Salute you Claude Ely, we'll see you in the morning...
