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?

The heavyweights of Brooklyn are really amazing. I remember seeing one of them in the past, and if you ask me, they are great people. My father was good friends with one of them, at least before they have died, but still, I have heard a lot of great stories about them. I know that they are not a fan favorite, especially for racist people, but that is what is great about them. They challenged the norm in our society.
