The Abyssinian Baptist Choir - Said I Wasn't Gonna Tell Nobody

This is officially "The Abyssinian Baptist Gospel Choir Under The Direction of Professor Alex Bradford," and I posted some Alex Bradford recently. This is a perfect example of mid-twentieth-century African-American gospel music. It was recorded at a church service instead of in a recording studio, so it's more representative of how the music usually sounded: the choir feeds off the energy of the congregation, and vice-versa.
