This blog features the many gospel albums I find. 90% of the records featured here were created by local Cincinnati, Ohio area artists (on Jewel, Rite and Queen City record labels among others). Here you will find the Good, Bad & Ugly but never The Lackluster! If there are copyright issues or a problem with any post, just contact me and I will make corrections. I'm here to have fun and hope you will share in my process of discovery!

Evangelist Gertrude Patrick - I Sing Because It's In My Heart
I heard Ms. Patrick sing when I was just a child at Hatmaker Street Church of God in Cincy. I believe her son in law was Rev. Troy Davidson who pastored on Eastern Avenue.
Gertrude Patrick was an iconic singer/evangelist--. I saw her many times and it was just her; she didn't really need a band. "Hold on to the Answer" was a very powerful song that she sang.
Both of my parents were saved during one of Gertrude Patrick's revivals in Louisville KY in 1951. She would sing a song called The Lost Sheep, and my mother sang it for years after that. I would love to be able to find a recording of that song, because I want to use it during my mother's funeral, and she is in bad health now at the age of 88. If anyone knows where I could get one I'd be ever so grateful. You can contact me at kaicken@aol.com
