Best Gospel Song

[bailbath]

I love '13 at the table'. The vocal is outstanding the overall 'feel' of the song just gives me goosebumps. You can hear the feeling in Jerry's vocal on this song and it makes you realize how important that part of his life is to him.

Why did you refer to it then?

Perk

[ChrisdeB]

I did not refer to it at all

[Perk]

Okay, there´s some mixed up confusion done by me here I somehow thought you had both shows. It ain´t easy to keep track of everything.

Anyway here´s why i think it´s the 2nd show. The guy who made this Ohio 87 recording also included scans of his ticket, the poster, and a newspaper review of the show.

1. The poster says there was 2 shows, at 7pm & 10pm.
2. His ticket says he went to the 10pm show.
3. The newspaper review lists different songs than the recording he did.

Conclusion = it´s the 2nd show

...back to the Gospel song subject

That song is actually originally swedish, it´s called "O Store Gud". I just thought i mention it

What do you all think of Jerry´s SUN recording of "When The Saints Go Marching In"? I recall that on Swedish radio they had some rules about which songs that shouldn´t be played. Simply because they had been played too often, and this one was on the list (not specifically Jerry´s version, just the song). All this was talked about on a radio show, but they said they had to break the rules and play Jerry´s SUN version. I think it´s a great one!

You are right about that Perk great version that transcends the songs origins!

Years ago I made a cassette tape for my funeral, and it consists of the following three Jerry Lee numbers:

Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow (instrumental version)
If We Never Meet Again/I'll Meet You In The Morning
I'll Fly Away

Last two from the the gospel album he released in the early 1970s.

These aren't necessarily my favorite gospel songs, just the numebrs I felt most appropriate.

I ain't planning on 'flying away' just yet though.

About a year ago some of us went to Rick Hardy's funeral. He was a great guy who played down the famous 2I's Coffee Bar in Soho in the 1950s as Rick Richards and his Skiffle Group. (In fact Cliff Richard, real name Harry Webb, got the idea of his stage name from 'Rick Richards').

His humanist funeral became quite hilarious when we all sung Rick's composition 'Sling Yer 'Ook', all in Cockney riming slang, as the woman conducting the ceremony tried to keep a straight face.

The most memorable lines, which we sung with gusto, go:

'Get lorst, yer a dirty old sod
And keep yer mince pies orf me Bristols!'

(Minces/mince pies - eyes, Bristols/Bristol cities - titties)

In my opinion there are a few Gospel sings I like

Live´s Railroad to heaven ( London 1983 version. So much feeling in it )
On the Jericho Road
This world is not my home
MY god is real
I´ll fly away


I would love to hear Jerry doing a pure Gospel album today cause that´s music he allways loved and he would do it with passion and fun

What do you think abut a Gospel album of him these days?

[Tony Papard]

I've always thought his cousin, Jimmy Swaggart, with his own Family Worship Center including TV and radio station and record label, should invite Jerry (and the rest of the talented family) to record a gospel album together. Swaggart sells loads of gospel recordings, and according to Mickey Gilley, has made more money than Jerry Lee and Mickey Gilley put together.

I find it quite incredible this talented family have never got together (including Linda Gail and her daughters, also Phoebe) to record an album, and Jimmy with his own record label is the obvious one to arrange a gospel album by the family.

Meanwhile, of course, Bear Family have released the Church Recordings by Jerry Lee (recorded in the early 1970s) on CD. This is an excellent recording of gospel material.
