  1. Is this the same gospel group that had a 45 released by J&W Records out of Cleveland ("The Blood") ??
    John Smith; UK

  2. - Willie C. Durr is the writer of the J&W flip side.

    - William Durer is member of the GH on Dee-Jay.

    Durr & Durer are likely the same man.
    I assume that both GH releases are from the same Cleveland group.

  3. My father and uncle were both members of the Golden Harmonizers and I remember both those songs very well. They are indeed the same group that record The Blood for J&W Records. It was my Uncle John who sang lead on that song
