About the session: Gospel performances at St. Peter Church, Tate County, Mississippi. (The town is unknown.) This session features two visiting groups: the Williams Singers from St. Louis and the Morning Echoes from Detroit. It is unclear, however, from the Morning Echoes' leader's introduction of the group (T901, track 8), just how many members there are.
