Voices of Victory

In 1978, when they were known as the Inspirational Choir, the Voices of Victory of the Salem Baptist Church of Omaha, Nebraska, made history when the Reverend James Cleveland recorded them for his James Cleveland Presents series. The resulting Savoy Records double album, I Don’t Feel No Ways Tired, featuring singer and musician Keith Pringle and choir director Doretha Wade-Wilkerson, was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1979.

One Sunday, Pringle was invited to play the organ for the collection portion of Cornerstone’s service. Cleveland liked Pringle’s playing and asked him to participate on a recording session with the Salem Inspirational Choir of Omaha, Nebraska. Pringle made his recording debut on that 1978 Savoy album, singing alongside Cleveland on Curtis Burrell’s I Don’t Feel No Ways Tired and accompanying the choir on organ.

On January 6, 1979, Pringle formed the Pentecostal Community Choir. Call Him Up, a selection on the choir’s Savoy Records debut, True Victory, helped the choir earn a GRAMMY nomination. It became
