Notes
Recorded in Webster Hall, New York, April 9, 14, 16 and 25, 1958.
Personnel (other than those mentioned on the liner) taken from GOSPEL RECORDS 1943-1969: A BLACK MUSIC DISCOGRAPHY Volume One A to K, by Cedric J. Hayes and Robert Laughton (Record Information Services, England, 1992; ISBN 0 907872 28 X)
Judy Guions is better known as Judy Clay; Lee Drinkard Warrick is her adoptive mother, and the biological mother of Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick; Emily Drinkard Garland (better known as Cissy Houston) and Marie Drinkard Epps are Lee Warrick's sisters, and thus the aunts of Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick.
Uncredited on the album and in the Hayes/Laughton discography, but appearing in the cover photo (second from right) is Nicky Drinkard, who definitely played piano with this group, but his participation in the recording is uncertain.
