The Dixie Hummingbirds- Help Me

Led by James Walker and Ira Tucker
Live In Concert (1979)
Too bad William Bobo (former bass singer) had already passed on; he would’ve been pumping bass all over this song!
Bo and Carroll would’ve been cutting up!

This is another great album by the Dixie Hummingbirds that I have in my collection.

Howard Carroll’s guitar got the the Holy Spirit jumping. If you don’t feel the Holy Spirit listening to this, you need saving.

[@herberthunter5570]

I cannot say who is the better lead in Ira Tucker or James Walker as the lead vocalist in the Dixie Hummingbirds.

[@mr.shortyduwop]

Equally match..both are great singers

[@samdekeninvestments4458]

They both were great, however, Ira's timing and vocal energy is better than any I've ever heard.

[@brayden2654]

It’s 1979, he had already passed, I wish he was in there. Bobo would’ve been all over this one pumping.
