The Sensational Six are one of Memphis’ veteran gospel groups. During their 40-year career, they have recorded for many local Memphis labels, including Philwood (a subsidiary of Select-O-Hits), Designer, Messenger and others. Their performance at the Center for Southern Folklore Saturday during the Memphis Music and Heritage Festival was a real-life demonstration of the close relationship of gospel to soul music.
