NOTES: "Call Him By His Name" is a traditional spiritual sung by the late Lucille Barbee who recorded solo and with the Radio Four in the 1950s.
Sister Lucille Barbee passed away on September 21, 2009. Barbee made her first recordings in 1952 as a solo artist and began recording with Rev. Morgan Babb and the Radio Four in 1953. She continued to record into the 1960s with labels such as Nashboro, Tennessee, and Republic. After her recording career, Sister was a DJ with WVOL-AM in Nashville. Most recently, she hosted the "Lucille Barbee and the Gospel Train Program" on Sunday mornings.
In his book "Carolina Clay" Leonard Todd describes "Call Him By His Name" in a call and response setting at an African-American church:
As I watched, she bent forward and slowly sang out, "Jesus is my Lord." Around
me the worshippers sang back, "Call him by his name."
Call Him By His Name- Marjorie Duncan:
You betta call Him by His name
You betta call Him by His name
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus (repeat)
When I get there, when I get there
I'm gonna scream and shout
When I get there
Troubles will be over, joy will come at last
When I get there, when I get there
(repeat Chorus)
