 TORONTO - March 18, 2021 - PRLog -- Sonorous Records Inc is releasing 8 original and remastered tracks by the Brewster Singers under the title of Old Time Religion. Each track has been digitally remastered and enhanced from the original recordings. Special care was taken to ensure the quality and integrity of the original sound. This is more than music, it is gospel history. "It is an understatement to call the recordings historic" states Cavric managing partner of Sonorous.
The group was formed by W.H. Brewster. Reverend Brewster wrote more than 200 songs which were performed by dozens of different performers during the period between 1945 and 1960, also known as the Golden Age Of Gospel Music. Apart from his vast legacy in the genre of black gospel music, Brewster also had a formative influence on a young Elvis Presley. Elvis occasionally attended services at the East Trigg Avenue Baptist Church and listened to Brewster's sermons which were broadcast on Sunday night. According to well placed sources Brewster constantly preached on the theme that a better day was coming, one in which all men could walk as brothers. Other performers influenced by Brewster were Mahalia Jackson and Clara Ward, just to mention a few. https://ingroov.es/old-time-religion-7 About Us Sonorous Records is an Independent record label.

TORONTO - Feb. 28, 2021 - PRLog -- Sonorous Records is releasing ten new tracks from the Staple Singers under our new series - Legacy Gospel. The songs have been remastered and digitally enhanced from the original recordings. They are part of our HOB (House of Beauty) catalogue. The release is expected to be available the first week of March.
The Staple Singers' place in music history was set in stone more than 40 years ago with two of soul's greatest singles, "Respect Yourself" and the even more powerful, "I'll Take You There." But the family group – patriarch Roebuck "Pops" Staples, lead singer Mavis and siblings Pervis, Cleotha and Yvonne - had been, by then, a major force in American music, culture and politics for more than a decade. Their down home Mississippi-rooted gospel helped put the cross in "crossover," taking the group from success in the sacred field to headlining status at the Newport Folk Festival and a frontline position in the battle for civil rights alongside the Rev. Martin Luther King. Their rural roots even caught the ear of Roebuck's fellow Mississippian, the self-styled King of Hillbilly Rock, Marty Stuart, who performed and recorded with the Staples and who, along with GRAMMY-winning producer/guitarists T-Bone Burnett and Buddy Miller, helps keep the Pops Staples guitar sound alive today as one of the keystones of Americana. https://ingroov.es/legacy-gospel-2 About Us Sonorous Records is an Independent record label.

"Due to the number of songs we made a decision to make the releases available in four separate volumes" stated Ivan Cavric of Sonorous Records Inc. Each track has been remastered and digitally enhanced from the original recordings. Every effort was utilised to maintain the quality and the sound of the original songs by Kevin Gibson of Electric Dreams in Welland.
THE BROCKINGTON ENSEMBLE was founded early in 1963 by Professor Irvin Brockington, who had a dream to form a mass choir of area gospel singers. This vision became a reality as he brought together various singers and family members for vocal support. In November 1963, as a nation mourned the sudden death of J.F.K., the gospel world celebrated the birth of this great aggregation as they appeared in their debut concert. After this appearance, they received numerous bookings and became known for their grand entrance marches as well as hard hitting choral delivery. Over the years, BROCKINGTON ENSEMBLE has spread the gospel message to the masses in various mediums including television and stage. They have appeared on local television as well as PBS and cable's B.E.T. They have shared the stage with the Rev. RANCE ALLEN and the CLARK SISTERS in the gospel stage play "MOMMA DON'T". Professor Brockington and the Ensemble's talents were recognized nationally by the late REV. JAMES CLEVELAND in 1967, when he asked them to participate in the forming of his GOSPEL MUSIC WORKSHOP OF AMERICA in Detroit, Michigan. About Us Sonorous Records is an Independent record label.

Dorothy was the driving force behind the groups success, both on record and in person. Dorothy Love, later Dorothy Love Coates became in the Civil Rights Movement working with Martin Luther King Jr. While other gospel artists were slow to address political issues head-on, Coates spoke out against the war in Vietnam, racism and other evils.
