Big Nick & the Gospel Heavyweights of Brooklyn, N.Y. - 2000 lbs of Give it up (Sher-Mar, 197?)

The Gospel field knows many legends and its fair share of literal Heavyweights. These guys recorded for the tiny NYC label Sher-Mar, founded by Doyle Sherman, himself a gospel artist. Big Nick and his heavyweights had a long career, releasing records until well into the 1980s ("God has been gracious" LP on Nashboro). They also share an LP on Sher-Mar with Doyle Sherman & the Doylettes. The sound on these Sher-Mar records is primitive, but very hard as well, Punk Gospel anyone?
