Story:
Im Jahre 1939 gründeten fünf blinde neunjährige Buben vom Talladega Institute for the Negro Deaf and Blind eine Gesangsgruppe die sie The Happyland Singers nannten. Als sie 1948 mit den Jackson Harmoneers, einer anderen Gruppe blinder Sänger, auftreten sollten, ließ der Veranstalter das Konzert als Wettbewerb zwischen den Five Blind Boys of Alabama und den Five Blind Boys of Mississippi anpreisen. Beide Ensembles nutzten diese neuen Namen dann weiterhin, verwendeten aber ihre alten Namen in sehr differenzierter Weise fallweise auch noch.
Die Singles der Blind Boys Of Alabama (Happyland Singers) bis 1963:

PS:
Die Discos stehen natürlich nur in Relation zur erweiterten R & R - Ära. In meiner "Spät-Lade" fand ich aber eine Single der "Blind Boys" aus dem Jahre 1969. Da hier bereits Siebziger-Scheiben vorgestellt wurden, möchte ich euch meine Spät-Sechziger auch nicht vorenthalten.
