I love the choir’s singing! Dr. Fuller had a very long radio ministry.

The choir was accompanied by organist George Broadbent and Rudy Atwood, a famous gospel pianist. My mother said she had seen Atwood carry on a conversation while playing a song on the piano.

Most of their repertoire consisted of postbellum American Protestant hymns and gospel songs written or co-written by Phillip Paul Bliss, Fanny Crosby, William Kirkpatrick, Lelia Morris, James McGranahan, Ira Sankey and other great hymn writers. H. Leland Green (1907-1984), the choir director, also wrote a few hymns of his own.
