ANGELIC GOSPEL SINGERS

kleine Gruppenstory:
Im Jahre 1944 gründete Margaret Wells Allison mit ihrer Schwester Josephine McDowell in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, die Angelic Gospel Singers und dazu holten sie sich noch Ella Mae Norris und Lucille Shird und das Quartett war komplett. 1947 wurde bei GOTHAM ein Schallplattenvertrag unterschrieben und ihre erste Single vom April 1949 “Touch Me, Lord Jesus“ wurde bereits ein Hit. Von 1951 bis 1956 war auch Bernice Cole dabei und da waren sie bis zum Abgang von Lucille Shird im Jahre 1953 ein Quintett. 1955 verließ Ella Mae Norris die Formation und ab 1961 gab es mit Thomas Mobley auch ein männliches Mitglied. Nach 1963 gab es noch weitere personelle Änderungen.
