简介
The Blind Boys Of Alabama乐队成立于1939年，直到现在创建它的Clarence Fountain，和Jimmy Carter仍旧是它的成员，此外还有新成员oey Williams，Ricky McKinnie，Bobby Butler，和 Tracy Pierce。很不幸它的创建成员George Scott在2005年的年去世了。乐队最初是在亚拉巴马的黑人盲人协会建立的，在最近的这六十七年里他们传播着纯灵歌福音音乐的精神和活力。在开始的四十年里，The Blind Boys Of Alabama在美国的传统福音会场广泛的巡回演出。1983年他们在流行的百老汇音乐剧The Gospel at Colonus中亮相,再加上他们的两张原声带专辑，他们的音乐更广为人知。在2001年和2002年他们的福音音乐受到了更多音乐剧的影响，因而他们的专辑获得了格莱美提名并最终获格莱美“最佳传统灵歌福音音乐专辑”奖。2007年该队入住福音音乐名人堂。 乐队成员 Jimmy Carter Billy Bowers Tracy Pierce Ricky McKinnie Joey Williams Ben Moore The Blind Boys of Alabama's famous stage suits are provided by Falcone Suits: http://www.falconesuits.com/Falcone Homepage.htm The Blind Boys of Alabama shoes provided by: www.stacyadams.com The Blind Boys of Alabama fully support the Navasky Foundation: http://www.navaskyfoundation.com/ Close your eyes for a few moments, and with them closed imagine the mid-1930's - the Great Depression, the dust bowl, silent movies and deep-rooted segregation with no end in sight. Envision with closed eyes a town called Talladega, Alabama, home to a school named the Alabama School for the Negro Deaf and Blind - a school where weaving baskets and caning chairs were considered the highest possible vocations. This was the birthplace of the greatest gospel tradition in American history. This was the birthplace of The Blind Boys Of Alabama. From the invention of television to the invention of the internet, through world wars and cold wars, from FDR to Barack Obama, and now well into their eighth decade of touring, writing and recording, the Blind Boys have not only faithfully remained, endured and persevered, they have evolved, thrived, and flourished as the premier purveyors of gospel music the world over. When you hear the Blind Boys singing it is as instantly recognizable as it is original, inhabiting a place in the soul no others can. Having the opportunity to write, sing, record and tour with The Blind Boys of Alabama has been the highest musical privilege in my lifetime. I still sit in humble disbelief when I hear my voice singing with theirs. The memories of our time and friendship are as sacred as the sound that comes from their voices. From the famed Capitol Studios to the Apollo Theater in Harlem - where I had, respectively, the great privilege of recording and performing with them - from the floor of the United Nations to the White House, The Blind Boys of Alabama have triumphantly carried soul gospel music into the 21st century, producing a timeless body of work that will inspire generations to come. Ben Harper and The Blind Boys of Alabama performed together on the GRAMMY-winning album, 'There Will Be A Light'.
