Bell Records 100 (EP)

Texas

"Our very first recording was done in somebody’s garage in 1961. We were still young then, Daddy (Clayton), Mother (Glyn), Glenda (15) and Mary (12). We sounded a bit like chirping birds, but we sang beautiful and true four-part harmony while Mother and/or Tiny played the piano. The result was a 45 RPM vinyl with a black label which we sold for $1.00."

The four songs can be downloaded from the Bell Family Gospel Singers at their website HERE
