Check out Thomas Fawcett's enjoyable audio report on the Relatives, a 1970s gospel group based in Dallas, Texas. Lead singer Rev. Gene West not only sounds like James Brown, but according to West, he could have been a contender for the Godfather of Soul's title had he not refused to go secular.
Thanks to Heavy Light Records, the Relatives' funk-laden, psychedelic "street sound" recordings have been saved from obscurity and are available for discovery by a new generation of gospel enthusiasts.
