Description

In this episode, I talk with Charles Miller, Frankie Henry, Robin Johnson and Everett Drake of the Twenty-First Century Singers about their 1978 album "Sunday Night Fever" and their memories of their founder, the incredible male soprano, the late Johnny Whittaker and original group member, the late Lula Jordan.


Who were the Twenty-First Century Singers? A Nashville group founded in 1972 that would become the first Black group from Nashville to earn a Grammy nomination for their 1975 recording "The Storm Is Passing Over." When Johnny Whittaker, Charles Miller and Robin Johnson joined Bobby Jones' New Life in the early 80s, appearing weekly on Bobby Jones Gospel throughout the decade, they became a part of re-shaping the standard for gospel's presentation and sound.
