The Statler Brothers Album: “When We Sing For Him”

I had the original Oh Happy Day LP of this album. However, over the years, it became worn and scratched. I had also copied it to tape, but the cassette deteriorated. I found this by accident while looking for something else at Amazon. My only dissappointment is that it does not include "Oh Happy Day" that was on the originl Album. It was that song that popularized Gospel Music into the mainstream. Gospel, which evolved from spirituals but is not the same, really began with the Azuza Street Revival in LA and was given a push with Mahalia Jackson in the late 30's and 40's, but it was the Edwin Hawkins' arrangement of "Oh Happy Day" that really propelled Gospel. This is still a great album with one of the greatest Gospel singing groups performing it.

Just wanted to tell you that I actually bought this for the main song that is also the name of the disc. After I listened to all of the songs I like myself more for ordering the music. Thanks for having it for me...Arnie Durham

I would recommend this CD for a friend or as a gift for anyone.I enjoy it,I play it when I am busy,it helps me get things done.

This is a great CD. It is a remastered and reissued CD of some of their original all time favorites. I know it is one of my all time favorites.

I'm not one to go out and buy a lot of christian music sung by country music entertainers, but The Statler Brothers are my one exception. They sing with heart and soul and the christian songs they chose for this CD I believe expresses that image of themselves as clean and wholesome individuals.
