Jimmy Outler was ex-lead of The Soul Stirrers during the 1960s, and he, in my opinion, will go down as an underrated gospel lead! After leaving the Soul Stirrers, he recorded songs with the Brooklyn All-Stars, one in which was released as a single -- "How Long Has It Been?" Another song he recorded with the All-Stars is "I Need The Lord". With his Sam Cooke-like vocals, he "Cookes" the song to the highest caliber. In this song, the singer talks about his struggles in his life in general terms. However he realizes that he was in the wrong, so he needs the Lord to try to save him. Although the song's theme is sad, it does not stop Outler from singing this song! Jimmy Outler -- Underrated Gospel Singer!
