Brown. (Actually it's apparent that the accompaniment consists of more than one person. There's piano, organ and at least one guitar - maybe other instruments). Jimmie Dora AVANT LABEL AV-055, N-5A and N-5B 45rpm record in old but NOT ORIGINAL sleeve. Avant Recording Co., P O Box 1863, Dallas Texas (note that there is no zip code in the address). Brother Joe has a fair number of his recordings on You Tube but neither one of these shows up in my search. Brother Joe May (November 9, 1912 – July 14, 1972) was an African American gospel singer. He was sometimes billed as "The Thunderbolt of the Middle West", and has been described as "arguably the greatest male soloist in the history of gospel music.... [with] a voice of unimaginable range and power, moving from a whisper to a scream without the slightest suggestion of effort".
Born Joseph May in Macon, Mississippi, he was raised as a member of the Church of God[disambiguation needed] denomination in which all males are referred to as "Brother". He sang with the Little Church Out on the Hills' senior choir and then the Church of God Quartet, building a reputation on the Southern gospel circuit. He worked as a laborer in Macon, before moving in 1941 with his wife Viola and their children to East St. Louis, Illinois, where he was employed in a chemical plant. =========================== Record graded by actually listening to both sides with a mono record player. This record shows a fair number of faint, light scratches but actually plays much better than it looks. Using Spin Connection's grading policy for 45 rpm records, it would rate VG+. The recording is decently done - especially the singing which is loud & clear; the mixing on the accompaniment may leave a little to be desired but it's more than satisfactory. I have been grading records and selling records successfully by mail since 1962. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ (the fine print ...
