James Earle Hines Jesus Steps Right In (CD)

(2002/Gospel Friend) 21 tracks

With his thunderous baritone and committed delivery, James Earle Hines epitomizes the consummate artist, who gave up Shubert and Brahms to sing gospel. After having performed with the famous Wings over Jordan Choir, Hines emerged as a nationally sought-after gospel soloist and choir director. He personally encouraged and inspired many singers, like the young Etta James. Some of Hines’ studio recordings for Sacred, Gotham and Specialty are included here, mixed in with some of his live recorded best sellers for Capitol, with the widely popular St. Paul Baptist Church Choir of L.A.
