Notes:

From the Jim Crow world of 1920s Greenville, South Carolina, to Greenwich Village's Cafe Society in the '40s, to their 1974 Grammy-winning collaboration on "Loves Me Like a Rock," the Dixie Hummingbirds have been one of gospel's most durable and inspiring groups." "Drawing generously on interviews with Hank Ballard, Otis Williams, and other artists who worked with the Hummingbirds, as well as with members James Davis, Ira Tucker, Howard Carroll, and many others, Great God A'mighty! The Dixie Hummingbirds brings vividly to life the growth of a gospel group and of gospel music itself.What Is the Sound of Salvation? -- Dom Flemons -- About the Companion Website -- 1.
