Sister Lucille Pope and the Pearly Gates never had much luck in gospel music - but that didn't keep them from releasing a host of killer gospel songs.
Sister Lucille's first single for Nashboro, "Somebody's Gone" is a great introduction to her sound, a slow and bluesy jam that builds over the course of nearly 5 minutes of sanctified, soulful gospel.
