record "Tweedle Dee, told a re-
porter that the nations gospel
quartets were copying rhythm and
blues songs. While not calling Miss
Ward by name she inferred that
the chief offender was a Philly
group headed by a female.
Long before the public. ever
heard of rock and roll we've been
singing gospel songs" said Miss
Ward. IF anyone is guilty of TAX
ing a beat then it's the current
rhythm and blues artists because
most of them are former choir
singers, including Tavern.
where else did they get their
styles but from groups like my
Ward singers? I've made survey
over the past six months and find
that most of the songs the rock
and rollers sing have a religious
origin"
Admitting that she personally
liked some of the rhythm and
blues singers, the gospel singer re-
vealed that she turned down a
$500 offer from top record firm
to "jazz up" songs like Swing
Low" and when The Saints Go
Marching In" with her group under
an assumed name. Instead, she
signed a lucrative contract with
Don Robby's Peacock label in
Houston to continue recording
gospel songs.
