The Imperial Gospel Singers perform their first hit "My Father's House". Members are Anna Smallwood, Erma Lee, Louise Smoke Brown and Connie Noble with Rosie Wallace at the piano.

I'm so glad you were able to see this film of your mother (Louise Brown?) and hope your family and friends enjoy watching it too.

Man I thought I'd never get to see any videos inside the Apollo of them days they even had church nurses on call, The Imperials were big that year Miss Ward hired them to replace her group after they left.....
Incroyable!!
I would like to see the whole program. Is it available to buy ? Love the a Imperial Gospel Singers.😊
There are only two performances, I believe - this one and another by the Swanee Quintet (here - ruclips.net/video/xfOeocWtu30/видео.htmlsi=y7SNIQNaLpBBI6qu)
Like you, I’d love to see the whole program - the Dixie Hummingbirds and Five Blind Boys of MS also performed that night.
This is such phenomenal footage. My god!
WE NEED MORE PLEASE!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Me too - if I had more, it'd be on this channel, but...
Yes we certainly need more would love to see the soul stirrers at the Apollo and the harmonizing for they all appeared there at one time post more
I could’ve sworn I just seen Isabel Sanford in the audience
You did! I was shocked when I saw her, then I noticed another actor in close up from the Jeffersons, Vernon Washington, who had a recurring role as Leroy who worked in one of their cleaning stores.
I thought that was her. I’m just noticing that.
Would like to see more of this Apollo gospel session to see who else was on the show please post more
I've uploaded footage of the Swanee Quintet here - ruclips.net/video/xfOeocWtu30/видео.html. The other artists appearing on that program were the Dixie Hummingbirds, Five Blind Boys of MS, Drexel Singers, Geraldine Climmons and Thermon Ruth Jr - I've never seen film of any of those, however.
@@DeepGospelSound Oh wow, the Drexall Singers of Baltimore? Lelia Royster was in that group and she also sang with the Davis Sisters. It’ll be nice to see her in action.
That is actually Erma Lee instead of Rudeen Collier. ( the third woman) singing background. I knew Ms. Collier and that's not her at the time. She did sing with them though.
Thank you very much for your help - I've corrected the video description.
