[musictlk] A random music question

[Joshua Lester]

The growl is famous in Blues, and African-American Gospel groups.
The Mighty Clouds of Joy are from Los Angeles, CA.
Had you heard of them?
Again, I wouldn't recommend this kind of singing, to anyone.
Also, why does Clarence Fountain of the Blind Boys of Alabama, do the
same stuff?
Thanks, Joshua
