Produced and hosted by Sid Ordower, Jubilee Showcase aired on ABC's Chicago affiliate television station, WLS Channel 7, from 1963 to 1984, and won an Emmy Award for a Pioneering Project in television. It featured everyone from the youngest church performers to the most famous gospel recording artists of the time including: James Cleveland; Grammy Award winner Albertina Walker & the Caravans; Andrae Crouch & The Disciples; the Mighty Clouds of Joy; the Soul Stirrers; the Staple Singers and the Barrett Sisters - all gospel music pioneers. There was even an appearance by the acknowledged inventor of gospel music, Thomas Dorsey. Presenting the widest variety of gospel and inspirational music with the highest professional standards, this historic program reached a vast audience every Sunday morning establishing itself as an institution in Chicago, “church before church.” Jubilee Showcase was also a platform for a majority of the performers to make their television debuts, such as with Albertina Walker singing “Amazing Grace.” SONGS INCLUDE: Amazing Grace Willing To Wait Wade in the Water Where Is Your Faith In God? Oh Mary, Don’t You Weep Why Am I Treated So Bad? Pray On My Child Jesus In Me Searching Shadrack Where Could I Go But To The Lord My Lord is Writing All The Time Must Jesus Bear The Cross Alone Wish I Had Answered Gambling Man Help Me Jesus Looking Back Where Could I Go But To The Lord Close To Thee Draw Me Closer, Lord Lord, Don’t Move The Mountain Resting Easy Oh, What a Meeting Toiling Peter Don’t Be Afraid Just Like He Said He Would Take Me Back To God Be The Glory Jesus is the Answer You Can Depend on Me, Jesus Thank You, Lord It Won’t Be Long I Don’t Know Why Wait On Jesus He's Wonderful There’s No Time Like Now Tell It Like It Is Things I Used to Do These Old Heavy Burdens I Know What Prayer Can Do.

I actually grew up around these guys and I am now very close to 70 years young my mother used to be in the females Quartet group…I believe she was with Audrey Lee’s wife oh maybe even Josephine Howard at that time this very group in Chicago where The Hutchison Sunbeams even sang …I sat right there is a child in the front seat of the church on many occasions because this is where they would have the rehearsals called the low in at that time if I’m not mistaken on State Street street near Parker House establishment… and the name of this church was called ‘PETER’S ROCK I believe … such fond memories of my mother #elnora
