  • The Jubalaires were an American gospel group active during the 1940s and 1950s. The group initially went by the name, The Royal Harmony Singers, as far back as 1936 and under that name reached #10 on the R&B charts on November 14, 1942, with %22Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition%22, a song adapted from the speech of a naval chaplain in response to the attack on Pearl Harbor the previous year.In 1946, the Jubalaires secured a spot on Arthur Godfrey's CBS radio show. Willie Johnson left the Golden Gate Quartet to take the lead of the group in 1948, and in 1950 the band appeared in the musical comedy film, Duchess of Idaho.Much of the Jubalaires' music was initially issued by Queen Records, a subsidiary of King Records specializing in African-American music; later reissues appeared on King Records proper. The band recorded with Andy Kirk on November 27, 1945, a session which produced the Decca Records 78rpm release, %22I Know/Get Together With The Lord%22, and credited to Andy Kirk & His Orchestra With The Jubalaires. A third track recorded during the session, %22Soothe Me%22, went unreleased.Other Jubalaires' releases included %22Before This Time Another Year/Ezekiel (Saw The Wheel A Rollin')%22 (Decca), %22God Almighty's Gonna Cut You Down/Go Down Moses%22 (King), and %22My God Called Me This Morning/Ring That Golden Bell%22 (King).The Jubalaires' record, %22Dreaming Of The Ladies In The Moon%22 (Crown Records) attracted the praise of Billboard magazine which gave the record a mark of 78/100 in the 17 April 1954 issue, commenting that %22The boys here come thru with a strong reading on a bright ballad with an evocative flavor.%22 The reviewer compared the Jubalaires' treatment of the song with the style of the Mills Brothers and predicted it could become a break-out hit. Billboard also praised the group's performance on the release, %22David And Goliath/I've Done My Work%22 (Capitol Records), in the 15 December 1951 issue as well as their performance, but in more muted terms, on %22Rain Is The Teardrops Of Angels/Keep On Doin' What You're Doin'%22, in the 4 August 1951 issue.
