Gospel: The Bells are tolling by Fairfield Four (1962)

Fire and brimstone gospel from impressive vocal group with dynamic sound that encompasses everything - I can hear blues,spirituals,even doo wop in here - guys are simply spectacular (check out those long notes in "Don't let nobody turn you around") and if there is a fair amount of showmanship here,listener just have to accept it,because after all,it is music genre based on stratospheric voices.

If you listen carefully,you can hear almost every great black performer somewhere in there.
