    Man singing Bass short man with deep voice on left is The late Carl D. Coates. My uncle one of the underrated bass singers of his time. My dad died when I was 2 months old. My uncle was one of the first people on the scene. He made a promise that day to make sure he was closest man to a father I would have. RIP UNCLE CARL.

    Charles sung for the lord for decades, i came upon his music a few years back when i was going through the tougest storm in my life, having turned from my savior
    i was at the bottom of a deep valley when i walked into a alabama truckstop and heard his music for the first time. , i bought the cd and spent the next few hours listening to the cd and coming back to the lord. God used his music to turn me around, and i will never go back,
    God let me thank Charles in 2005, and i thank God daily

    Sadly, even in black Gospel music, this kind of vocal artistry has become a lost art. Nobody even knows how to sing like that anymore. From the harmonies to the soaring lead to the precise syncopations….it’s just not done anymore. Change isn’t always a good thing when great art is lost in the process.

      +Rainy5062002 That was every common in most black groups be they secular music or gospel music, it was very competitive during those times so each group always did some form of embellishment in their introduction of their song for the lead singer to give it much hype and drama especially in the men group.

    I've loved gospel singing for a longtime. It is my favorite genre of music. I love Old Time Blues, too. We used to listen to Ernie's Record Mart out of Nashville, Tennessee. Those were the good ole days. They sold records as a pkg. deal. You might remember Little Walter who was in Cadillac Records with and Muddy Waters cried when he died. Walter was one of the best Harmonica players around, but he loved to fight and that was bad. Howlin Wolf, who paid Social Security for his band members, Wolf, died in the hospital. His Mother wouldn't accept $200 dollars because she had a problem, and called it the devil's money. She threw the money on the ground. I think I have Wolf heard he died too.
