Book Description
Afro-American gospel quartets, first formed in the South after the Civil War, have had a profound impact on American folk and popular music. "Happy in the Service of the Lord" provides the first in-depth examination of the development and importance of black American religious quartet singing. Relating the story of a special musical community in a city noted for its blues, jazz, and soul music, Kip Lomell reveals the notable contributions of quartet members to the cultural and musical identity of Memphis. Lornell traces the evolution of such groups as the I.C. Glee Club Quartet, the Spirit of Memphis, the Sunset Travelers, and the Southern Wonders in Memphis from the early 1920s to the late 1980s. Through extensive interviews he reconstructs a unique network of radio personalities, quartet unions, fans, promoters, and singing teachers. Lornell approaches the subject from a variety of perspectives, incorporating such diverse disciplines as history, musicology, geography, anthropology, folklore, and sociology into his analysis. Emphasizing social organization, quartet training, and performance contexts, he describes the complex, multilayered relationships within these communities and probes the symbiotic relationship among the mass media, popular culture, and black quartets. "Happy in the Service of the Lord" concludes with a listing of Memphis gospel quartets active during this sixty-year period, a discography of their commercial and noncommercial recordings, and a sample travel diary for the Spirit of Memphis Quartet [Publisher description]
