Jimmy Hughes with his '64 single Steal Away and appearing as the title track of his '65 LP.

There's an old spiritual entitled Steal Away. There were a few song titles that I found which were not covers of this song but were excellent enough and fit in the parameters of this thread as well. The legendary voice of Etta James on Steal Away off of her '68 Tell Mama album.

Well, if folks still haven't gotten religion by this time then I'm afraid there's no salvation for ya and it's time to move on. Roy Harper is always a pleasure. And as a final warning to those who choose to turn away you may expect in your life many Black Clouds. Off of Roy's '66 Sophisticated Beggar LP.

Bow Down Mister is a song written by English singer Boy George, under the pseudonym "Angela Dust", and recorded by his first musical group following his departure from Culture Club, Jesus Loves You. Inspired by a trip George took to India, the song is a tribute to the Hare Krishna movement and incorporates the Hare Krishna mantra. Indian singer Asha Bhosle performs the female vocals on the song but is uncredited on the single release. Recorded between '88 & '89 and released on the '90 The Martyr Mantras album.

The revival of certain memories can be inspirationally profound and might produce the odd effect. For those acid droppers of that Hare Krishna bygone era . . . Theatre of the Absurd for some laughs (as long as it's done up smartly).

Gospel music has come a long way, sinner. Van Morrison live at Cyprus Avenue, Belfast, performing the negro slave classic of a child torn from it's mother, Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child, on his 70th birthday, 31 August '15.

This one is a great fit for the "If you are listening to music - What's Playing ? (2022)" thread.

Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp covering Lennon's Isolation live at the Royal Albert Hall this 30 May 2022.

Too bad it's brass and percussion only. Otherwise that ensemble is missing Johnny Depp on guitar clad in his full Pirates Of The Carribean garb.

I don't recognize the tune but I assume it's homegrown.

If that song don't make ya laugh ya ain't got no sense of humour. Find Jesus and ask him fer some.

The Beatles with a quick mention of holy roller on Come Together. Off of their '69 Abbey Road LP.

Country Joe McDonald with Holy Roller off of his '81 Into The Fray LP.

Great story! Now I'm reminded of a story about what were called holy rollers down south. They were a special breed of southern Methodists who would engage in dancing, shaking or other boisterous movements perceiving themselves as being under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Outsiders would derisively describe people literally rolling on the floor in an uncontrolled manner. Back in '73 I found myself in Virginia. An acquaintance of mine once took me to the home of one of these holy rolling Methodists. Mind you that this is '73, and even at that time long hair on guys was a common sight down south. There were two younger boys in the family who were sporting crew cuts. The entire family appeared to have walked out of a 50's edition of Life magazine. Nazareth with Holy Roller which wasn't released until their '75 Greatest Hits album.
