I’m looking for gospel quartet music – tradition hymns, mostly upbeat (like “Jericho Road” or “Love Lifted Me”). I’d like some group names and specific CDs. The CDs are for my father, who’s in the hospital and has always liked gospel quartet music. ---

The best ,IMO, is the Golden Gate Quartet. Somewhat more modern ,& probably more easily obtainable, is the recently(2002) released,“Sam Cooke with the Soul Stirrers.” It is made by Specialty records,distributed by [fantasyjazz.com](http://fantasyjazz.com). This is a 3CD set & is ridiculously fantastic.( No, I’m a fan, I’m not a salesman.)
