    The Salem Travelers were a gospel group that recorded music for Checker Records, which was part of the famous Chess Records. Chess Records was known for its great music, especially in the 1960s and 1970s, including gospel tunes. The label was set up by the Chess brothers, Leonard and Phil, and they ran it until they sold it to General Record Tape (GRT) in 1969, just before Leonard passed away.

    During their time with Checker, the Salem Travelers released several singles and albums, including a popular song called "Thank You Lord," from 1968. The song expresses deep gratitude to God, with lyrics that reflect on how good the Lord has been. The lead singer shares his personal struggles, talking about moments when he felt confused and lost, as if Satan was trying to lead him astray. He captures the feeling of being undecided about which way to go in life, making the song relatable for many who face their own challenges.

    Overall, the music of the Salem Travelers is filled with heartfelt messages and spiritual strength, touching listeners with its honesty and uplifting spirit. I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to the Gospel Greats.

    Good afternoon , good afternoon, my beautiful listeners! This is your favorite gospel podcast host, Gail Nobles, and oh, do I have a special story for you today! We're celebrating the life and legacy of a true gospel singer, the legendary Morgan Babb!

    Now, Morgan Babb wasn’t just your average radio DJ; he was a powerhouse of talent! Born to uplift, he graced the world with his incredible vocal talents, and let me tell you, folks, he could arrange a tune like nobody’s business. He was a band leader that commanded respect and admiration, but his heart didn't stop there. Oh no! He was also a minister—a wise mentor to numerous future church leaders, guiding them on their spiritual journeys.

    If you haven’t heard the powerful message in his song “Sinners Don’t Wait,” let me remind you how profound those lyrics are:

    “Don't wait! Don’t wait till it’s too late! Sinner, I’m begging you, and I’m pleading with you…”
    Morgan understood the urgency of our spiritual walk. He knew that life is fleeting, and every soul matters—he beckoned us to seek redemption now, to meet Jesus in heaven on high. It’s a melody that tugs at the heart, urging us to reflect on our lives before it’s too late.

    But wait, there's more! Morgan made history as the first African-American in Nashville to establish his own radio station! Yes, you heard that right. He opened doors that had long been shut, paving the way for future generations to share their voices.

    Tune into his legacy, my friends! Let us honor Morgan Babb not just as a music man but as a servant of the Lord, a mentor, and a beacon of hope. His life reminds us of the importance of community, faith, and the power of music to transform lives.

    So, as we celebrate his life, let's take those words to heart: “Don’t wait till it’s too late!” Let’s rise up, lift our voices, and carry forward the legacy of service and love that Morgan Babb embodied in every note he sang and every word he spoke!

    I’m Gail Nobles thank you for listening to the Gospel Greats! Stay blessed .

    "Good evening , everyone. I'm Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to the Gospel Greats. Today we're taking a moment to celebrate the life and legacy of Andrae Crouch, a true titan of soul gospel music. If you've ever felt the power of a song that lifts your spirit and stirs your soul, you might owe a debt to this remarkable artist. Crouch, who passed away in 2015, didn't just sing about faith—he made it feel alive, urgent, and utterly human.

    Andrae Crouch was one of the top soul gospel artists of his time, blending infectious rhythms with profound messages that reached far beyond the church pews. His 1979 hit, 'Jesus is Lord,' is a perfect example from his 1979 album ‘I’ll be Thinking of You’. By the time I finished listening, I truly knew who Jesus was and what He had done. Crouch's lyrics painted a vivid picture: 'I tell them Jesus was wounded for my transgressions, and He was bruised for my iniquities.' Then he'd build to that soaring chorus: 'Jesus—He was sent from the Father; Jesus—He's a great Messiah.'

    It was soul music at its finest, with Crouch's rich voice turning ancient scripture into something that felt like it was straight from the streets. He walked upon the water, as he sang, and calmed the raging sea—making Jesus sound like a soul man to me, full of grit and grace. That's what came through in every note: a deep, personal conviction that connected with so many.

    Crouch didn't stop there. Songs like 'Soon and Very Soon' brought a joyful anticipation to the gospel genre, promising that 'we are going to see the King.' I grew up in an era when gospel music was simpler, often stripped down with just a few instruments—a piano, maybe a humble choir. But when Andrae Crouch arrived on the scene with tracks like 'Jesus is Lord' and 'Soon and Very Soon,' it was like a revolution. He infused it with layers of soul, funk, and even a touch of what some might call 'worldly' flair, expanding the sound and making it accessible to new audiences.

    And that's no accident. I once read an article in the Los Angeles Times where Crouch opened up about his approach. He said he purposely alternated upbeat, enjoyable Christian songs with ones that carried a deeper message—songs that might not sound recognizably religious at first listen. 'It might be something that sounds worldly,' he explained, 'but the words will stay with them and accomplish something.' And boy, did he deliver on that promise. Through his music, Crouch didn't just entertain; he planted seeds of faith that grew in unexpected ways.

    Andrae Crouch. That’s the story for today. They’ll be more soon but until next time goodbye friends.
