Hymns of The Church - Russ Taff - O Say But I'm Glad

Russ Taff was born the fourth of five sons to a fire-breathing Pentecostal preacher father and a gospel music loving mother. He learned early on that when he sang, people sat up and responded with feeling. Some of his earliest memories are of being balanced on the church altar by his mother’s strong arms while he belted out a gospel chorus to the rollicking encouragement of the tiny congregation.
