Boogie Gospel

[LazyDisco]

Hello everybody !

can anybody name some good boogie-gospel songs/albums/artists ? I love this kind of very danceable gospel; A few exemples:
- The Clark Sisters - You brought the sunshine, He keeps me company from their 1981 album. I heard some of their late 70s songs and some really sound disco!
- Tramaine Hawkins - Her 1979 album has some good tracks, my favourite is "I'll be with him".
- Ricky Womack & Christian Essence - This obscure band covered Sylvester's "I need You" in 1980 and made a great gospel version out of it, with a faster bpm !
- Kristle - The track "I'll go" from her 1980 lp "I can't let go"; love this one.
- Glynna Session - "Love, it comes in all colours" from 1978, is a great mid tempo disco track !

Anybody can name a few more ?

Have you heard some of their other tracks? Like "Wanted:Dead Or Alive"? Seek it out-soulful,70's vocals
The Voices Of East Harlem "Right On Be Free"

Amen, Brother Marky! I am down on my knees, feelin' the spirit! (It's tough to beat the Gloria Spencer original on "I Got It," though...)

A couple more to add to the mix:
The Sweet Inspirations "This World"
The Gospelaires of Dayton, O. "God Helps Those Who Help Themselves" (a Bobby Eli composition on a Savoy/Arista 12" which, if I recall, actually made the disco charts in '78...)
The "Hallelujah Disco" LP on ABC, with a whole bunch of obscure uptempo gospel tracks, including one from Carl "I Was Born This Way" Bean & Universal Love

(fanning himself because it's so dang hot in these Sunday clothes) and praise backatcha, brother Thommy!

There's even a whole bunch more you could add to this category from the late 80s-early 90s, like:
Sabrina Johnston's "Peace"
The Sound of Blackness' "Testify"
Guy Costley's "Somebody Here" (a sublime and little-remembered dance-gospel track) and
The Source/Candi Staton's "You Got the Love"

Oh tmob-"Peace" was Gospel house perfection,and
what about the Frankie Knuckles mix of "The Pressure"
by Sounds of Blackness(I also like a slower track of theirs too-is it"Joy"?) And what about Ann Nesby's "Can I Get
a Witness"(the Mousse T mix)-her vocals just BURNED
through the grooves
And then the MAW mix of Martha Wash's "Carry On",
Juliet Roberts "Free Love" or Ultra Nates "Rejoicing"?
I need to catch my breath!
And I need to start searching for this Guy Costley track
ASAP-PEACE and love and SOOOOOUl to you tmob!

Let's add Grace Jones' Saved, a great disco-gospel track !
