Golden Gate Quartet
When They Ring Them Golden Bells
von
The Golden Gate Quartet brings the close harmonies of a celebrated African American vocal group to this recording. Known for its gospel singing, the quartet blends spirituals and religious songs with a rhythmic, tightly coordinated vocal style.
Rather than a spoken radio drama, the listening experience centers on ensemble singing: interwoven voices, clear harmonies, and the energy of a group performing together. The title identifies the song as “When They Ring Them Golden Bells,” a gospel selection whose devotional character is carried by the quartet’s vocal arrangement.
The result is a compact musical performance rooted in gospel tradition, with the quartet’s distinctive harmony and rhythmic delivery at the forefront.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
