The two songs starting at 10:16!!!!!!!! That's ROCK AND ROLL, baby!!!!!!! According to wikipedia, the Statesmen were a huge influence on Elvis, and they actually invited him to sing with them when he was a boy. I believe it!Tim Lones, thank you sooooo much for posting this priceless document of american culture and history!!!!!
What a different time it was, when most of the whole country loved the Lord, now our nation has turned its face from God, when a member of the congress of the United States says God has no place in that body, whoa unto thee oh wicked nation.
