[Dixielandjazz] Gospel Tunes

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

No real quarrel with Precious Lord being "the most popular gospel song  ever 
written", until we blur boundaries between gospel and hymns.  The  lists of 
most popular "hymns", contaminated by my recall, puts "How Great  Thou Art" at 
the top followed by Amazing Grace.  Someone on list have info  on jazz 
recordings of "How Great Thou Art"?  As I type I'm recalling a  cassette recording I 
do, or did have, with Aretha Franklin singing Amazing Grace  that was awesome 
ear candy.  Need to go shopping for that on CD.
