Pray For Me - Rev. Abraham Swanson XII
Bibleway Church Of God In Christ
QCA Recording Studios/Custom Pressing - Cincinnati, Ohio
This album was a nice score. I find a ton of white southern gospel in the area, but rarely black gospel. I've collected a number of Savoy label gospel records featuring name artists. Choir director and organist, Michael Gaston worked with James Cleveland (who recorded on Savoy). This LP compares to many of the Savoy recordings I have listened to in intensity of performance and quality.
Below is what the church looks like today. The back cover credits Rev. Abraham Swanson XII (lead along with Mrs. Mary L. Swanson) and Rev. A. Swanson (written and arranged) for the tune titled What Do You Say About Jesus. It is interesting to note that A. Swanson is still pastoring at this church (when this photo was taken).
