Their music inspired many gospel, soul and R&B artists including Jackie Wilson and James Brown. The Dixie Hummingbirds were one of the longest-established and most influential gospel groups in the history of the genre, their career, through various evolving line-ups eventually lasting more than 80 years. Their style developed from the jubilee quartet approach of the 1930s through the 'hard gospel' of the music's golden era in post-war years to the more soul-tinged style of later times. This collection spans their development from their original line-up as their style gradually changed, with lead singer Ira Tucker being a constant link through the whole of the set.
