BACKGROUND INFO FROM WIKIPEDIA WEBSITE:
The Soul Seekers (with the full name "The Famous Original Soul Seekers Spiritual Singers of New Orleans,") is a gospel group based in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States from 1939 to the 1960s. Organized and founded in 1939 by Mr. Ernest Irvin in New Orleans, Louisiana, this quartet gospel recording group is famous throughout the world for their powerful, triumphant renditions of spirituals, old and new. At the time of their first album release, Spirituals (1959) on MGM subsidiary Cub Records, Irvin and The Soul Seekers had appeared at St. Paul's Cathedral, in London, and performed at over 600 theatres and churches back in the United States. The original six members of this sextet included Arthur Blake, Ernest Irvin, Alex "Junior" Bolton, Carneil Underwood, guitarist, Wallace Meyers, and dynamic lead singer, Marion Hannah. The Soul Seekers released two more albums on Savoy Records' Gospel record label and on Choice Records, SOUND OF AMERICA, in the 1960s. The latter two albums included new members, guitarists Richard and Frankie Boyce, songwriter Larry Lawson, and vocalist George Washington. The Soul Seekers' second album is Songs For My Mother. The DeVoil Brothers, Johnny and Wimbley, joined the group as well for the third album, Tell It Like It Is, a social commentary written by Larry Lawson describing issues that still plague the Black church today. The group is also known as "The Soul Seekers featuring Rev. Marion Hannah".
