By Lee Breuer and Bob Telson 1985 production at the American Musical Theatre Festival, Philadelphia The performers include Morgan Freeman as The Messenger, Carl Lumbly as Theseus, Jevetta Steele as Ismene, and Robert Earl Jones as Creon. The Soul Stirrers (credited collectively) and the Institutio The Gospel at Colonus

I started watching this recording of The Gospel at Colonus last night just to see the early number, "Stop, Do Not Go On," and ended up watching the whole thing. This is truly one of the greatest cultural creations of our time, and still too little known.

BTO AND Charlie Pride?!?!

I just had to share this because it’s so cool and rarely seen….a Chinese pre-revolution RCA 78 sleeve from the Shanghai factory! Beautiful graphics!

Especially on this cold and gray day in Chicago.
