What Do You Say About Jesus - Bibleway Church Of God In Christ

Pray For Me - Rev. Abraham Swanson XII

What Do You Say About Jesus
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).

Here's another great record featuring Harley Hensley (who sings two songs). Another artists include Barabra Ballard, Steve and Judy Ireland and Dennis Hensley. Side two features a sermon by Hensley and John Carter (shown on the cover, left).

Here is an earlier Hensley album featuring a great cover photo!

A gospel act from Nebraska.

From the back cover: When asked why he (Peters) doesn't sing Western, Popular or Rock and Roll songs, he says with a great big smile, "Well, in most of those songs, someone is either sad, crying, heartbroken, getting into trouble or just getting out of it... and I'm just not in that situation.
