There’s not much that needs to be said about this Swan Silvertones cut. A far cry from the hall of fame gospel group’s early (and heavenly) A Capella arrangements, “If You Believe Your God Is Dead” delivers the word via three minutes and twelve seconds of raw, electrifying funk. Lord knows I wouldn’t have been crawling under pews and drawing pictures in the bulletin during Sunday service if the Silvertones had been in the choir loft. Open these doors and wash yourselves in the Gospel of the Groove. words / j steele
