The HARMONIZING FOUR

Das Quartett:
Neben dem Leader Joseph "Gospel Joe" Williams, vervollständigten noch Thomas "Goat" Johnson, Levi Handly sowie Jimmy Jones - nicht zu verwechseln mit dem "Handy Man" - das Quartett. Auch Lonnie Smith und Tommie Ellison gehörten der Truppe einmal an. Die Harmonizing Four begannen 1943 bei DECCA.
