The record
Eleven hymns and gospel standards, top to bottom: "Abide With Me," "Blessed Assurance," "Precious Memories," "What A Friend." Prestige gave it a stereo pressing in 1963 as PRST 7270, and the credits list nobody but Ammons, so whoever is behind him goes unnamed. A record built entirely on melodies most listeners already knew.
