BISHOP LEONARD SCOTT - DOWN AT THE CROSS (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO)

Distributed by WMG. Motown had the Funk Brothers. Stax had Booker T & The M.G.’s. Bishop Leonard Scott has got the sanctified-soulful backing band, Thomas & The Situation. The youthful group and its earnest leader Jeffrey Thomas help the hymns professor refresh this 1878 gem for a new generation. Pheldon PJ Majors Jr.’s sturdy, steady drum strokes are the framework on which this exhilarating musical testimonial is built. The Fender Rhodes, bass, upright piano, and guitar all revolve around the drummer who is following Scott’s earthy lead. A thick-voiced choir surrounds the whole enterprise with passionate support. This kind of gospel music is indeed good news.
