I wasn't referring to the song, actually, which I've never heard, but to this:

Out of print now, but maybe you can find a bootleg copy online?

I'm making dinner right now but will follow your links as soon as it's done. Thank you for your recommendations!

Gospel is tough. It never got properly written into music history (it's usually thought of as something rock & roll was built off of) and collecting-wise SO MUCH of it is on tiny vanity labels from unknown groups. But I have some recommendations.

The Relatives are still performing and are one of the most incredible live shows I've ever seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RLHpGBS_LA

Rev Johnny "Hurricane" Jones has been comped on at least two CDs. They often feel like sort of musical services, so I wouldn't say that all his songs have the same momentum as this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V36xHEMOSiA but he can definitely work up a frenzy.

And the best Gospel compilation that ever was is the multiple CD set called "Fire in my Bones". It can definitely be pretty raw (which I think is a good thing) but I listen to it ALL THE TIME.

If you're OK to dig around for 45s, I would suggest keeping an eye out for labels like Songbird, HSE, and Peacock. It helps if you live in the South.
