Founded in 1981 in the footsteps of the renowned Golden Gate Quartet, this multi-generational family carries on the African American "roots gospel" tradition that emerged in the post-Civil War South, engaging modern audiences with their joy and exuberance. 13 tracks, 55 minutes, 32-page booklet. This recording is part of the Smithsonian Folkways African American Legacy series, co-presented with the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
