The Reverend James Cleveland did more to ‘mainstream’ black gospel music during this life than any other person. Sadly, as I and many others have outlined in other places, he led a troubled life that has left his reputation as a man and minister of the Lord in tatters.
And I have to say, it is not without some discomfort that I share his music. But ultimately, it is about the music. It may be born in one person’s soul but once born it belongs to everyone. And besides, he who is without sin, let him cast the first stone.
This is a record I picked up in Pretoria South Africa many years ago. Let it make your Sunday evening a joy.
