Tuskegee Institute Singers - "Nobody Knows The Trouble I See" (1916 Victor Record) As Part Of The Black History Month Spotlight
It is February 22, 2015. Today, in honor of Black History Month, I have for you a recording by the Tuskegee Institute Singers. The song is a Negro Spiritual titled "Nobody Knows The Trouble I See". This song was recorded 99 years ago on Valentines Day in 1916, and was released in April of 1917. The record was pressed on the Victor label (Catalog number: 18237-B) and I am going to play this record on a Victor Victrola Model #4 (VV-IV). This machine was manufactured in 1915. I am going to play the record using a loud tone steel needle and as for the sound control, the doors open to increase the volume.
The line-up included Leroy Brown (tenor vocal), Charles Edward Clayton (tenor vocal), Alvin J. Neely (tenor vocal), William P. Smith (baritone vocal) , Alfred Taylor (bass vocal), William Wiley (bass vocal), and William J. Williams (tenor vocal).
