🎵 ARTIST BIO:
James Edward Cleveland (December 5, 1931 – February 9, 1991) was a prominent figure in the American gospel music scene. A singer, musician, and composer, Cleveland is often referred to as the "King of Gospel" due to his immense contribution to the genre.
He is credited with helping to create the modern gospel sound by blending traditional black gospel with elements of soul, pop, and jazz. This made his music more accessible and palatable for mass choirs, which in turn helped to popularize gospel music.
Cleveland first came to prominence as an arranger, helping the Caravans score their earliest hits with songs like "Old Time Religion" and "Solid Rock." He also founded his own group, the Gospel Chimes, which helped showcase his talents as a composer, arranger, and singer. Cleveland passed away from heart failure on February 9, 1991, in Los Angeles, California.
🎵 LYRICS: Old Time Religion
Sing me your song, like mother used to sing
(unintelligible lyric)
She used to sing, amazing things
And there’s one thing I know
It was good enough for mother, good enough for mother
Good enough for father, good enough for father
Good enough for sister, good enough for sister
Good enough for brother, good enough for brother
They were burdened and didn’t know what to do
They called on God to see them through
The old-time religion was good enough for mother
It’s good enough for me, good enough for me
Oh it will keep you, oh it will keep you
If you keep your mind, stay your teeth
Oh it will keep you, let me tell you why
It kept ahold of me before
Hope
Silence
Hebrew Children
Matthew
Luke and God
Kept the prophets
One by one
And when you’re burdened, God will care
If you look for Jesus, he’ll be right there
Won’t it keep you? Oh, Keep you x3
The old-time religion was good enough for prophets
The old-time religion was good enough for my mother
It’s good enough for me, good enough for me
