1949-52

This superb black female gospel quartet is backed by piano on 22 tracks. The group was founded by Ruth "Baby Sis" Davis in Philadelphia, and other members included Alfreda, Audrey, and Thelma Davis, plus Imogene Greene, Curtis Dublin (piano), and Jackie Verdell (lead vocalist). Though a quintet, they sounded like a small choir with their full sound, and they recorded extensively for Gotham in Philadelphia.
