Top notch gospel.  The Spirit of Memphis had some of the best vocalists around during the 1949-1954 period represented on Happy In the Service of the Lord.  Stylistically, they weren’t innovators exactly, but followed the lead of The Soul Stirrers.  That is hardly a limitation.  Pretty much every track here is a winner.  Anyone interested in golden age black gospel will find a lot to like.  This is one of the best compilations of its type available.
