CD Reviews

It doesn't get better than this

AfroAmericanHeritage | Wisconsin | 03/11/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This set matches the complete recordings of one of the best pre-war jubilee quartets, the Southern Songs, with the first recordings of the Harmonizing Four. The first national exposure came for the Harmonizing Four when they sang at President Roosevelt's funeral - after that they toured extensively, making a tour of Europe in 1966. The Southern Sons were a great group in the jubilee tradition - their version of the Negro National Anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing" is worth the price of the CD.
