Correction. The above is off of her '65 Pastel Blues album. Here's the version from the Village Gate album. This is more up tempo.

This theme has a threefold purpose. Firstly, for everyone's musical enjoyment. Secondly, to provide a playlist which one can listen to on any given Sunday and thus be able to skip attending mass at church. And thirdly to recruit new posters to this thread, hopefully reaching the famed chorus at the "Do you believe in God and why?" eternal thread.

At the rate I'm going you'll have been dust long ago before I even get close. Rest assured I'll give it my best shot . . . just for you, sweetheart.

@KannikaP I take it gospel music was/is not part of the culture in the UK? It's the same principle whereas if you're a westerner you'll most likely shun mor lam (other romanisations . . . mor lum, maw lam, maw lum, moh lam, mhor lum, and molum) but if you've experienced Isaan country (and their fine ladies) you'll easily acquire an appreciation of it. I think the song peaked at no. 2 in the UK and ended up at no. 36 on the '69 year end chart there. So not too shabby for a gospel arrangement of a 1755 hymn by Londoner clergyman Philip Doddridge.
