I have loved the dixie Humming birds since the 1960s, but have never heard their early work--amazing. Listening to all this wonderous harmony and spirit comes close to restoring my lost faith in Christianity. ronspin

Surely if there had been the InterWeb back then these could have been bigger hits and now less obscure. It certainly ain't "Pat Boone in his white tux" or the other bland WASP acts favoured by dominant record labels of the time. Shaggy Maggot
