Notes
Elizabeth King is a septuagenarian gospel singer based in Memphis, Tennessee. She began her career in 1969 with the single “Testify” for the Designer label and issued a few others. From 1970 to 1973, she fronted the all-male Gospel Souls, who cut a handful of singles — including the hit “I Heard the Voice” — for Juan D. Shipp’s D-Vine Spirituals label. King retired and spent the next 48 years raising 15 children, and singing in church and on a weekly gospel radio program. In 2019, Bible & Tire Recording Company issued The D-Vine Spirituals Recordings by Elizabeth King & The Gospel Souls. Watson and Shipp invited King to meet at Memphis’ Delta-Sonic Studio. When Watson asked if she wanted to record again, she responded in the affirmative. Her first recording in almost 50 years, Living in the Last Days, is the result.
