Florida Spiritualaires, The [1976] - I Remember When [Ernie's Record Parade E-4002]


Best know to secular listeners for their 'I Remember When' which to my ears sounds like a cross between Groovin' (Young Rascals) and Cowboys To Girls (The Intruders) but also a nice track from the same album is 'If I Had One Life To Live'.  I've added as many other of their recordings that I can find, which is all of their 70s recording but nether of their 2 60s (1966) recordings on Fuller 2682 - Good News / The Bible Tells Me or 2682 Marching To Zion / God's Love Is Amazing.


Rev. Fleming Tarver & The Original Florida Spiritualaires are still performing in 2015, here's 65 minutes of footage of them live in 2015.


Florida Spiritualaires, The [1976] - I Remember When [Ernie's Record Parade E-4002]

Smooth sweet soul harmony / crossover which reminds me of Groovin'/ Cowboys To Girls.


Florida Spiritualaires, The [1976] - Watching Mother Go Home [Ernie's Record Parade E-4002]

Deep Soul / Gospel


Florida Spiritualaires, The [1976] - If I Had One Life To Live [Ernie's Record Parade 2007]

Mid-tempo sweet soul/gospel group harmony 

Album track only from 'Give God The Glory' on Ernie's from 1976 which also contained both sides above.

Sound clip is not the best quality - sounds like it has been processed many times and has 'digital artefacts' but it is the best of only 3 available.



Florida Spiritualaires, The [197?] - Where Have The Missionaries Gone? (Pt. 1 & Pt. 2)  [HSE 450]

Deep soul/gospel

HSE (Hoyt Sullivan Enterprises) is a 70s gospel label from Greenwood, South Carolina. No release date available but I would guess this was released before The Ernie's 45 in 1976 sometime between 1972 and 1975.



Florida Spiritualaires, The [197?] - Bye And Bye When The Morning Comes  [HSE 424]

Florida Spiritualaires, The [197?] - All Of These Years [HSE 441]

Florida Spiritualaires, The [1972] - Faith, Hope & Charity [Lewis 2814]

Poor quality sound clip sample 1:17 only


This one states it's Faith, Hope & Charity but sounds like a different song

Poor quality sound sample (60 secs only)
