There will be a light
- Ben Harper and the Blind Boys of Alabama
The Blind Boys of Alabama is a gospel group that has been in existence with largely the same membership since
1939. To put this into context, the Blind Boys were performing for sixteen years before Elvis Presley set foot in Sun Records. The group has enjoyed significant mainstream success due to their incorporation of mainstream contemporary songs and interesting arrangements into their traditional gospel sound. Recent collaborations with Kanye West and Ben Harper have also drawn attention to the group, as well as their current string of four consecutive Grammy awards for Best Traditional Gospel Album.
