Dorothy Love Coates - Strange Man
Dorothy Love Coates is no stranger to this blog. Actually she is one of our favourite female (gospel) vocalists. "Strange Man" shows again why she's in the top of our list. She recorded only one 45 for the Richburg label, her brother Fred McGriff owned. Dorothy Love Coates recorded "Strange Man" for Savoy as well. Both versions are different. The 45 is most likely released in the late sixties or early seventies.
thank you for the wonderful music. it has made my life better.

OOO I got one hand on my keyboard and the other hand raised to Jesus! Thank ya!
I listen to "Dot" and I wonder how in the world could her pastor ever get to preach with all the people screaming and catching the Holy Ghost from her singing?! Lawdy, they would have had to put me in straight jacket!
Thanks Cies
