Download: “Believe” – Famous L. Renfroe (1968?) (mp3)

Children is an album of electric gospel spirituals by a Memphis, Tennessee gentleman named Famous L. Renfroe performing as “The Flying Sweet Angel of Joy.” Famous wrote and produced all the album’s songs, played all the instruments except for the drums, and then released the album on his own sometime around 1968, without a label name. Long out of print, Children is available again on vinyl, the Lord’s preferred format for recorded music, thanks to the efforts of Oxford, Mississippi’s Big Legal Mess Records.
