Comments and Reviews

Fokeman 25th Apr 2021		All this just goes to show how, with a bit of wrong information, even Wikipedia falls into line and continues to make the same error, so the world believes that B comes before A!
Fokeman 25th Apr 2021		My theory is that it was racism and church snobbery that insisted that they remove the Rev. as title from this record. He was made a "Reverend" from the church where he went to school on graduation. It was an honorary title to reward him for hard work at school and also singing and attending church I expect. My theory is that it did not go down well that a blind black man was begging on the streets with a cup for coins and that he called himself a "Reverend" and preacher. He was even arrested for singing on the street on one occasion in his home town of Americus.
Fokeman 25th Apr 2021		Although first issues called him "Rev. Pearly Brown" on both cover and label, the later issue had a change of heart and began calling him "Blind Pearly Brown". At any rate the company continued using the same label for the new cover and when they had to do a repress, even the new issue continued to use "Rev. Pearly Brown" and with a slightly changed font for the record company name.
Fokeman 31st Jan 2017		First Issue, with first cover has the Folk-Lyric address as 3323 Morning Glory, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Morning Glory is the Earlier address IMHO. The Later Address is Bay Street which is often accompanied by the logo which was not invented until about 1961.
