Courtesy of the Clark Santee archives, this magnificent 1993 performance from the Blind Boys Of Alabama fronted by Clarence Fountain is as good as it gets for fans of deep soul. Originally formed in 1939, the group consisted of visually impaired members who cut their teeth on the same gospel circuit as Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers, the Dixie Hummingbirds and others. To coin a gospel expression, the Blind Boys Of Alabama surely wrecked the house live, whether on a gospel bill, a festival setting or as in this case a televised made-for-TV performance.
