The Crossroads church formed a special group of singers called "The Crossroads Singers" who entertain at the worship services and conduct special concerts at Gainesville and around the country.
If you find this, you have a lot of information.
Ah, Gainesville, that's where I went to school. :)
Delete9. Crossroads Singers. The Crossroads church formed a special group of singers called "The Crossroads Singers" who entertain at the worship services and conduct special concerts at Gainesville and around the country.(14) They have produced several albums for sale through their ministry, including a Christmas album entitled "Holiday Souvenirs." In their advertising brochure, the Crossroads church explains the function of this group,
ReplyDeleteThe Crossroads Singers are an integral part of the total work of the congregation. Their local concerts serve as an effective way to share with the community the message of committed Christian living. The Singers are used in conjunction with evangelistic crusades, vacation Bible schools, and special services.
But did you enjoy the record? I thought it was pretty good.
DeleteI will let you know. It is in my next batch of mp3 selections to listen too. Maybe in a week or so.
DeleteSnow might be gone by then, and you'll be off the Christmas music...
DeleteMaybe, but we have very cold freezing temperatures outside. The weather is unpredictable.
DeleteFor you, I will put it on my mp3 player now. I had tomorrow Monday free, but my cient wants me to go with her up to Sweden for some special organization work. So I will let you know Monday night or Tuesday morning.
Hi Ernie,
DeleteWell, once I started my travels this morning, I stated to listen to this album...
1. Did you look at your copy of it? Is it numbered, as in 1 of 50? Oops that might be too many.
You sure seem to have a collectors item in/on your hands.
While I admire their approach to these songs, that is all I admire.
They basically were off key from the first word, note, or whatever that came out of their mouths. I had to stop listening about half way through to listen to the likes of: Bel Canto Voices, Plymouth Festival Orch - from Buster, The CSU Chamber Singers and The Canterbury Choir for some "real" quality singing. Even, Sy Mann on the organ was an improvement as were Shorty and Betty.
I finally did finish this album, but it was a hard go.
If they are representive of the church...
enough said.
I will centainly keep it in my files, but I will label it "off key singing".
It is a shame, as their versions of these songs were interesting, if only they had been done by polished singers.
Could be that they limited themselves to volunteer members of their church, so they had to work with that they had. Maybe that's why the LP is hard to find. :)
DeleteBert, Your tab is pinned and checked 365 days of the year! -Organ
ReplyDeleteWell, I wish I put stuff out year-round, but it's only Christmas and Christmas-In-July for me. Thanks for sticking close by though.
DeleteErnie, you know me. I check your blog everyday, during July, and from American Thanksgiving until you tell us you have nothing more to share. I look forward to seeing your blog every day :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support!
DeleteWith only 346 days until Christmas? Of course I'm paying attention....and thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm close to having given you 346 shares this season. Does that count for anything? :)
DeleteI'm still here! Not always punctual, but you're always on my radar and I'm always grateful for all the hard work you do. Delighted to see "We Need a Little Christmas" and "Feliz Navidad" on the track list - love the more up tempo songs, especially on a private record. I can't wait to listen!
ReplyDeleteAlways interesting to hear non-religious songs done by these religious groups. I've heard a few nuns take stabs at Silver Bells and White Christmas, it's not often Whoopie Goldberg level excitement, but it's frequently something. :)
