#18 Favor-Memphis Gospel Group.MOV (by jdoggtn7)

Favor performs at the Tennessee Arts Stage at the Memphis Music and Heritage Festival, September 3, 2011

The Bell Singers are another Memphis gospel group which is always a crowd favorite at the Memphis Music and Heritage Festival.

I had not heard of the Anointed Cowan Sisters, but another festival-goer told me they were not to be missed, and he was right. African-American gospel music is at the root of both early rock-and-roll and Memphis soul, and the Anointed Cowan Sisters and their band are both outstanding.

I truthfully don’t know why this group is named the Plantation All-Stars, but they are well-known for performing on Beale Street and are a decent blues band, at least judging from yesterday’s performance at the Memphis Music and Heritage Festival.
