Intro by: Gail Nobles
B.B. King and Ray Charles made a song together titled Sinner’s Prayer singing "Lord Have Mercy On Me." If I've done somebody wrong please have mercy. According to the lyrics they would sing about all the things they once had and how bad luck overtook, and how if they've been bad they’d change their ways.
In my opinion, I think B.B. and Ray left us a prayer to cherish singing Sinner’s Prayer. Together their voice & out cry for God's mercy lets you know that we need to stop and talk to the Lord about life when things are going good and when things are going bad.
B.B. and Ray were singing “if I've done somebody wrong have mercy if you please.” There might have been a time when we've done someone wrong and did not realize it. In my opinion, I think a song like Sinner’s Prayer should be handed down to generation to generation. I think it's an important song.B.B. King and Ray Charles have done an awesome good job singing Sinner’s Prayer.

You are listening to Gospel Blues. I am your host Gail Nobles. Today’s topic: The Staple Singers Uncloudy Day and Unclouded Day is a collection of recordings between 1956 in 1959 by The Staple Singers many of which that were originally released as 10-inch 78 RPM sheliac disc, that became the first 12 inch Gospel LP released by the Vee-Jay label.
Uncloudy Day, also known as Unclouded Day is a gospel song. The Staple Singers covered this song in 1956, 16-year old Mavis Staples provided deep- voice soulful vocals that most assume had come from an older woman expressing great experience or even a man. It was also covered by the outlaw country singer Willie Nelson in 1977 featured on his album The Troublemaker.
The lyrics to the song Uncloudy Day say: Oh they tell me of a home far beyond the skies, Oh they tell me of a home far away; Oh they tell me of a home we're no storm clouds rise, Oh they tell me of an Uncloudy Day.
The home is heaven. When you hear the Staple Singers sing the song, it sounds like gospel blues because of the sound of the guitar. ..

Story by: Gail Nobles
Hi! I’m Gail Nobles, and you’re listening to The Gospel Blues Show.
What is gospel blues? According to Wikipedia, it is a form of blues based on Gospel Music that has been around since the inception of blues music. It combines evangelistic lyrics with blues instrumentation, often blues guitar accompaniment.
Have you ever heard of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings? They are under the R&B category, but have a song titled “Call on God”. I can hear the Gospel, soul, & the blues.
You know your life gets filled with so much sorrow And it seems like there’s no tomorrow In these times that we live in today Seems like everything is in your way. You just call on God And he will provide ….
In the lyrics, it’s simply gospel. Sharon Jones was the lead singer of the group. The song is from the album: Soul of a Woman. Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings. Call on God was a song that was written by Sharon Jones. I don’t see Sharon Jones under the Gospel category. Her genres are Soul, Retro-Soul, R&B, ; Funk. I think she could be written under Gospel or Gospel Blues. Either one.
It is said Sharon wanted to do more gospel songs. However, she passed away. When Sharon wrote the song Call on God, she must have felt God in her soul. It’s good to know she had him on her mind. The way she had sung the song sounds as if he was deeply felt. It sounds as if the song could reach someone in any category in all directions.
Sharon Jones wrote the song Call on God in the late 1970s for E.L. Fields’ Gospel Wonders, which is a choir at the Universal Church of God in New York City that Jones sang with throughout most of her life. The song was actually recorded in 2007 during sessions for the Sharon & the Dap-Kings album 100 Days, 100 Nights. When it was saved for a gospel album, they never got around to recording. Sharon played the piano for the song and sang her parts with the band.
