Digitally remastered by Elliott Federman (SAJE Sound, New York, New York).

One of the few Edwin Hawkins compilations to escape the bounds of the LP medium, Buddha's Oh Happy Day!: The Best of the Edwin Hawkins Singers offers 15 tracks from one of the most uplifting artists of the late '60s and '70s. Beginning with the title track of their debut LP, Let Us Go Into the House of the Lord, the disc includes the full version of the surprise pop hit "Oh Happy Day," along with several of Hawkins' own excellent compositions, among them "I Shall Be Free," "Precious Memories," and "Late in the Evening." The Edwin Hawkins Singers did some intriguing covers as well, and two of the best are included here: the Five Stairsteps' "O-o-h Child" and Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" (the latter is nearly seven minutes of testifying bliss). ~ John Bush

Bought this to get Oh Happy Day on CD, but was pleasantly surprised that all the other tracks come up to the quality standard achieved by the group's big hit.

5 stars My Search is Over!
I have been looking for songs on this album for the last 27 years. I've tried ordering by name only because I didn't know the artist of the album. On this site, I typed in the name of one of the songs, and up it came, even the album. Every song is listed on this album. Thank You CD Universe and to all your affliates involved in giving us the opportunity to find music we love, and have missed hearing over the years. Sincerely, Mrs. Wilma L. Spencer Sacramento, CA
