fact
1980 - Reverend Louis Overstreet, a guitarist and a native of Lakeland, Louisiana passed away on this day at the age of 53. He began singing in gospel quartets at an early age. He was working in a turpentine plant in Dequincy, LA, in 1958, when he felt the call to become a full-time minister. He had a deep singing voice and accompanied himself on electric guitar and bass drum, along with a gospel quartet made up of his four sons, took his own brand of street evangelism around Louisiana and to Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arizona, Nevada, and California before settling in as the pastor of St. Luke's Powerhouse Church of God in Christ in Phoenix, AZ, in 1961. It was there that Chris Strachwitz of Arhoolie Records recorded Overstreet and his congregation and sons for the 1962 LP Rev. Louis Overstreet.
