Long before Gospel Music
Channel and Bobby Jones Gospel, there was a show originating out of Chicago
Illinois that brought GOSPEL MUSIC into the homes of tv viewers each Sunday
morning. You can now have a piece of
Gospel Music history with the release of the Jubilee Showcase DVD Collector’s
Edition Jubilee Showcase
Steve Ordower, son of
Jubilee Showcase host, the late Sid Ordower, has compiled the “Jubilee
Showcase” compilation DVD featuring classic performances from the 1960s and
1970s of The Staple Singers, The Soul Stirrers, Inez Andrews, Andrae Crouch and
Jessy Dixon, among others. PBS has been
airing an hour-long special on the groundbreaking series celebrating its 50
years since late November 2013. Scores of artists and personalities appeared on
the show over the years, ranging from James Cleveland, The Staple Singers and
Andrae Crouch to Rev. Jesse Jackson. At its height, “Jubilee Showcase” boasted
over 250,000 weekly viewers and presented some of the biggest names in gospel.
The DVD is available online
