Gospel Harmonettes - "Swing Down Chariot"
Added: March 07, 2007
From: ArchieB9876

One commentator to this video clip's "thread" identified the lead singer as Dorothy Love Coates.

Another commentator wrote this comment:
"...I believe this is from the Newport Folk Festival in 1966!"

I don't think either of these renditions of this song has any "Ezekiel" verses, but I could be wrong since it's particularly difficult to hear the words of the Gospel Harmonette's version.
