Indiana Jim and The Peoples Temple of Doom
Update: 2023-09-22
Description
In 1973, California-based Rev. Jim Jones and his followers released a private-press, gospel-pop-funk LP — not-so-subtly titled He’s Able. As Rolling Stone noted, “The production values and arrangements are surprisingly top notch, the music is infectiously catchy, and the performances, especially by the lead singers, are vibrant.” That’s part of what makes the tragedy that followed so confusing and horrible — a contradiction so stark and horrific it tantalizes our deepest terrors. Want to know the whole story behind the sounds and the suicides? We’ve got it all, this week on Lyrics for Lunch.
