Sunday morning gospel: The Serenaders Quartet: How Do You Pray?




I love this cover--it's so cool.  As are the Serenaders, a NC quartet formed in 1955 and featuring Lindsey Clemmons (tenor), David Willetts (baritone), Johnnie Thomas (second tenor), Al Jordan (bass), and Gerald Milligan (piano).  I'd meant to scan their group photo on the back jacket, but... I forgot.  Just head shots, literally.

Searching under "Serenaders Quartet," I found out nothing about same.  Then I plugged in "Serenaders" + "How Do You Pray," and up popped their current website, complete with photos, sound bytes, and group history: Serenaders Studios

This Goodwill find has some right-channel needle damage that I eliminated by, as ever, putting the left channel on both sides.  Since this is a mono LP, nothing was lost except the noise.  To the Sunday morning gospel:

The Serenaders--How Do You Pray?

How Do You Pray
Way Down Deep in My Soul
I'll Meet You By the River
God Will Bless You All
Hide Thou Me
How Great Thou Art
He'll Be There
Glory Clear the Road
Lord, I Want to Walk Your Way
Light of His Love
Hide Me Rock of Ages
Room at the Cross

The Serenaders Quartet--How Do You Pray? (Sing 501)
