Description
Disc 1: Just As I Am / Disc 2: Blessed Assurance / Disc 3: Praise My Soul
Billy Graham, Evangelist preacher, inspiration to millions of Christians and one of the ten most admired men in the world has led crusades to over three hundred cities around the globe and touched the lives of millions of followers. A crucial part of Billy Graham’s crusades were the local choirs who, under the direction of choirmaster Cliff Barrows, sang the praise and glory of Christ at each gathering. Over the years, performances of the International Crusade Choirs have been recorded and appeared on numerous LPs or broadcast on radio. This special 3 CD set contains over 90 tracks covering 50 years of the Billy Graham Crusades, meticulously compiled and digitally remastered by master sound recordist Warren Barrett. Each disc contains recordings from a different territory: Britain & Europe, Australia & New Zealand and USA & Canada. Also featured are soloists George Beverly Shea, Ethel Waters, Laurice Waller, Myrtle Hall and Martha Nixon. This unique collection—a massive enterprise, undertaken with the full support of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association—comes complete with a 12 page color booklet with full track listings and historic choir introductions.
