Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Blind Boys of Alabama started in the 1930s when Clarence Fountain and George Scott met at a Birmingham orphanage for the blind. They began singing together in local churches, building a foundation in gospel music that would last for decades.
In the 1960s, their version of the traditional gospel hymn "Atom Bomb" brought them wider attention. The song's raw emotional delivery connected with listeners during a period of social change. They also performed at civil rights rallies, though this drew some criticism at the time.
They've recorded songs like "Way Down In The Hole" and "Higher Ground," and albums including "Spirit of the Century" in 2001.
