As Valentines Day has up and fallen on a Sunday, we offer “Jesus Loves Me,” a declarative love song piloted by Wallace Graham. Recorded in Florence, South Carolina, the hearts make a nice touch for this loveliest of Sunday offerings. Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all.
More gospel on a Sunday, this time by Booker T. McGert and The Spiritual Messengers of Gibsonville, North Carolina. Slow and beautiful stuff, it’s one of many releases on the great, Greensboro-based Ken-Yatta label that was run by the late Reverend Curtis M. Carrington.
