NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED - (Verve 10574) Out of New York, this rare single was released for the holiday season in November of 1966. It is an obscure, non-charting disc that was issued only that year as a single and never again. It was pressed in small quantities and when trying to locate one today, they are few and far between. Arthur Prysock who was born in 1929 and died in 1997, had been singing since 1944 but he is probably most recognized by his soulful, baritone voice over the 1980's beer commercial, 'Tonight, let it be Lowenbrau." 'A Working Man's Prayer' was written and originally recorded by Ed Bruce on Wand Records in 1963, this Verve Records version was Mr. Prysock's only Christmas/Holiday recording, and what a powerful and moving record it is; just dripping with emotion.. + Informações

This man absolutely owns this song ! Arthur Prysock was an American jazz singer best known for his live shows and his deep soulful baritone voice. He has often been characterized as a deep-voiced Billy Eckstine, and his singing style was very similar. He joined bandleader Buddy Johnson as a vocalist in 1944 and became a mainstay of the live performance circuits. He sang on several of Johnson's hits including "Jet My Love", "I Wonder Where Our Love Has Gone", and "Because". He gained much attention for his tender, soulful singing on a beer commercial, "Tonight, tonight, let it be Löwenbräu." He had a surprise disco hit with "When Love Is New" in 1977, and much of his older recordings regained attention. He received a Pioneer Award from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation in 1995. This selection is from his album "Morning, Noon And Night?The Collection".. + Informações
