Southern Faith Singers - Trouble In My Way

Southern Faith Singers - Trouble In My Way

A few days ago Tim Shipp send me the picture above. Tim's father, who passed away in 2008, was a member of the Southern Faith Singers in the early to mid 1960s. Tim asked me if I knew of any recordings by the Southern Faith Singers from that period. All I have found so far is their Jewel 45 Trouble In My Way/What He's Done For Me (Jewel 131) which was released around 1968 on Jewel. On the labelscan it copyright is marked as 1965. I wouldn't be surprised when this 45 was first released on a small Chicago based label (private release?) and was a few years later picked up by Stan Lewis' Jewel company for nationwide distribution. The Hayes/Laughton Gospel Discography doesn't have any more information regarding recordings made by the Southern Faith Singers in the early to mid 1960s. Despite the fact that the Hayes/Laughton Gospel Discography is very very good and reliable, they might have missed a release or two by the Southern Faith Singers on a tiny label. Does anyone know more about 1960s releases by the Southern Faith Singers?

UPDATE:
Within two hours after publishing this entry both John Glassburner and Big Joe Louis mailed additional information. BJL wrote that 1965 wasn't the date of recording but the date of the Jewel trademark registration. John mailed that according to the notes on the backcover of the Southern Faith Singers album on One-Way their Jewel 45 was their first and only recording prior to recording for One-Way. Thanks guys.

    I have One Way 10001 ("Who"/"Crying In The Wilderness"), maybe from 1974. Lead vocals are by Lord Ray and C Cox.

    The 1965 date on Jewel 45s is not connected with the recording - I believe it's a trademark registration.

    This is a great picture! I was under the impression that Big Willie had always played guitar for the Southern Faith Singers.
