This blog features Vintage Gospel Albums, the majority of which were recorded in the 1970's. Many of the LPs featured here were created by Cincinnati, Ohio area artists on private press recording and production labels such as Jewel, Rite and QCA (Queen City Album). Here you will find the Good, Bad & Ugly but never The Lackluster! I'm here to have fun and hope you will share in my process of discovery!
George Shiverdecker was my paternal grandfather. I've seen old copies of this album lying around the houses of my various family members but never actually heard any of it till now. By the time I was old enough to recollect hearing Grandpa sing, he was well into his 70s and while he still had a great voice, he'd lost a lot of the power and range on display in this recording. Grandpa passed on his love of music to my father and aunt (an accomplished pianist herself) and singing regularly in his church at Sunday services, weddings and funerals until his death in 2008 at age 86. Thanks for posting this.
