Alex Bradford

Gospel Music Anthology Alex Bradford

The highly influential gospel composer, singer, arranger and choir director, Professor Alex Bradford, helped initiate the modern mass choir movement in gospel and had a profound influence on a diverse group of artists such as Bob Marley, Little Richard and Ray Charles, who adopted many of Bradford's vocal and stage mannerisms. Bradford was not only a supremely gifted singer with an impressive vocal range; he was also one of the best songwriters of the Golden Age of Gospel. The vintage tracks presented here feature Professor Bradford leading his choir through a selection of gospel standards. All selections newly re-mastered.
