Amen ! Everybody! Amen!
For all who hear a message in the spirituals and the gospels,
“AMEN!”, with Della Reese, has meaning.
For everybody who has a love for music and an appreciation for
its power and purpose, its pulse, its parenthood, “AMEN!” is a memoir.
For the pious, there is magic in the moments of these melodies.
Here is spiritual singing at its soul-stirring free-est. Beneath the trouble
and toil, there is joy—the joy that is faith. There is exaltation—the
exaltation that is prayer. This is the devout Della.
There is no delusion in Delia’s gospel-singing. Her understanding
is as authentic as the truth. Less long ago than the popular lengths her
voice has carried her, long before she learned her way around the
‘truth’ of the "blues,’ Della Reese was a gospel-singer. And she sang
the spiritual and the gospel lovingly and learnedly. The proof can be
no more positive than her deliverance of all songs. The proof-positive
is apparent as she sings these religious songs.
Della’s feeling for gospel-singing takes precedence over all others.
It is her background, her training, her home-base. She is now in her
mid-twenties. Back in Detroit, where she was born in the early Thirties,
she joined a non-traveling Church Choir. Not too long later, she was
grouped around the gospels with the Mahalia Jackson Singers and was
also part, par excellence, with the Clara Ward Gospel Singers.
When Della studied at Wayne University, she majored in psy-
chology. She led her own gospel-group for a while during that period,
but her idea for a career was not singing then. Soon after, though, when
it did become the aim, she sang as a band vocalist with Jimmy Hamilton
and his Group (Jimmy was an Ellington alumnus), gained big-band
experience with Erskine Hawkins and his Orchestra.
And since then, although, her singing has taken her into the blues
and ballads and bounce, Della has stayed within easy singing-distance
of the spirituals and her church, The New Liberty Baptist Church of
Detroit.
“AMEN!” was recorded in Detroit so Della could have her own
church group, the Meditation Singers, join with her. The other solo
voice heard here is Ernestine Rundless, wife of the Pastor of the New
Liberty Church, E. A. Rundless. Their daughter, Laura Lee, is a mem-
ber of the Group. She is also the composer of “Hard To Get Along!”
The third member is Delillian Price. The final member is Della’s own
sister, Marie Walers. The accompaniment—organ and piano—is by
Emory Radford and Kirk Stuart. (Kirk is Della’s regular partner.)
There is unbelievable rapport between Della and the Group. The
emotion, the tempo, the musicianship is as exciting as is all perfection.
This is perfection of spirit and trust, of faith and feeling. For the fol-
lowers of the Gospel, these voices create an expression of communica-
tion and conviction.
For music lovers there is the excitement of improvisation, phrasing,
performance. Historically, gospel-singing and the gospel and spiritual
songs have a beginning and an end in the popular music of today. Before
the ‘blues’ and New Orleans and ‘jazz,’ there were the work songs and
the spirituals of the South. They were developments from the religious
songs, voodoo chants and the opportunity for freedom of expression
and improvisation that, except for European, is a necessary part of all
music. From the ethereal of the spirituals there came the earthiness of
the blues. Then, as they were refined and grew into jazz forms, there
came the songs of the gospel, which have much basis for jazz.
You can hear it all here . . . cantala, chorus, cheer-leading, shouts,
hand-claps, preachments, piety, prayer. Here is electric inspiration.
Here is an appeal to a purpose, deep-felt, ‘rocking the Church’ on a
choral chariot-ride to the Gospel.
Amen! Everyone! Amen! Della! Amen!
