Produced by legendary A&R executive John Hammond, this recording brought the visceral power of an authentic Harlem church service to a major mainstream catalog. Under the fervent direction of Professor Alex Bradford, the mass choir's heavily rhythmic, call-and-response vocal arrangements heavily presaged the emerging sound of 1960s soul.
