Like a Ship (Without a Sail)
Pastor T.L. Barrett & the Youth for Christ Choir
1971
Numero Group
Holy cats, a 1971 gem that sounds exactly like Charles Stepney producing a Godspell ripoff, which it both is and isn’t. This is an actual choir laying into songform gospel over some truly devastating low-minded funk. The world of collectors goes for many albums a third as good as this one, beautifully recorded and played. Slots right between Carole King and Aretha’s mid-Seventies albums.
