History of The Blind Boys of Alabama
The Blind Boys of Alabama, whose incredible journey began in 1944 at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Deaf and Blind, are living legends of gospel music. With a legacy spanning nearly eight decades, they have accumulated numerous accolades, including five Grammy Awards, induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Their influence extends far beyond their genre, having paved the way for contemporary gospel, rock, and soul singers. Hailed as "gospel titans" by Rolling Stone, the Blind Boys' jubilee singing style added jazz and blues idioms to traditional gospel, evolving into a livelier, zestier form of the genre.
Their collaborations with artists as diverse as Mavis Staples, Stevie Wonder, and Lou Reed showcase their enduring impact. With their latest album, Echoes Of The South, The Blind Boys revisit their roots, offering a powerful and enduring collection of songs that touch the heart. Despite the passing of some longtime members, their mission to uplift and inspire through their music remains as strong as ever.
