(Good) Friday Flashback: Blind Boys of Alabama Appear on “TV Gospel Time” in 1964

The Blind Boys of Alabama had already been singing together in one form or another for a quarter-century when in 1964 they appeared on NBC’s short-lived “TV Gospel Time” program.

Though it died young, the show enjoys an afterlife on YouTube and it’s there where the former Happy Land Jubilee Singers - as BBA were originally known - still sing “Too Close to Heaven.”

Led by Clarence Fountain and including singer/guitarist George Scott and fellow vocalists Olice Thomas, Johnny Fields and the sighted Louis Dicks, the band conjures the spirit like only it can.

Perhaps the most miraculous thing is that this group of Blind Boys of Alabama sounds much like the contemporary Blind Boys of Alabama, despite the bands having nothing in common but their name and their mission of bringing the gospel. And as is the case when attending a modern Blind Boys performance, viewers are virtually guaranteed to feel better after watching this archival Blind Boys performance than they did when they cued it up.

PTL. And praise BBA.

Friday Flashback is an occasional series in which Sound Bites looks back at memorable musical moments on television

12 years ago, I started what has been for me — my life’s work. And honestly, when I started this site, I couldn’t have imagined three-quarters of the things I’ve done and experienced over JOVM’s history to ever happen.  I’ve covered roughly 1,100-1,200 shows in NYC, with a handful of shows in Chicago, Baltimore and Philadelphia. I’ve covered about a dozen or more festivals, including traveling…

Blind Boys of Alabama to Release Hanukkah Album

- Blind Boys Sing the Jews will be released Christmas Day

The Blind Boys of Alabama will release their first Hanukkah album this year.

The album, Blind Boys Sing the Jews, will be released Christmas Day, which, coincidentally, becomes the first night of Hanukkah at sunset.

Dave Grohl, whose online Hanukkah Sessions have illuminated recent festivals of light, is slated to produce.

“The stars just aligned,” said band leader Ricky McKinnie. “We’re a Christian band, but we love our Yiddish cousins.”

Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, KISS’ Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, Marc Cohn and “Weird” Al Yankovic are among the guests slated to appear.

Hanukkah 2024 ends Jan. 2, 2025.
