There are so many elements that come together to make a beautiful sound into a beautiful song. When everything comes together without any instruments, just Cappella when there is just raw talent being shown it is one of the most breathtaking things one could ever possibly hear. Just how when a Jubilee Quartet ensemble comes together the sound has layers of voices and hidden harmonies and sounds that make the ensemble sound even better. When you just hear the four to six-part harmony arranged together while focusing on the percussive and rhythmic style. This week I want to focus on the origins of The Golden Gate Jubilee Singers which was formed in 1934. One of the most interesting facts about the group is the changes in membership over the years. That just shows that good groups and good music go on forever. Founded in 1934 by four students (Willie Johnson, William Langford, Henry Owens, and Orlandus Wilson) from Booker T. Washington High School in Norfolk, Virginia. A year after they were formed, 1935 they were singing in churches, and then in 1936, the group was heard on the WIS radio station in Columbia, South Carolina. In 1937 the group ended up getting a contract with Bluebird Records.
