And today's topic is The Swan Silvertones. They recorded a song titled, "He's Sweet, I Know", and it goes something like this.....(Singing Chorus)He's Sweet I KnowHe's Sweet I knowDark Clouds May RiseStrong Winds May BlowI'll tell the worldWherever I goI found a saviorHe's sweet I know"He's Sweet, I Know" recorded by the Swan Silvertones. That was only part of the song. The chorus. To hear the original, look for The Swan Silvertones at Spotify.com. They were a gospel group that first achieved popularity in the 1940's and the 1950's under the leadership of Claude Jeter. Jeter formed the group in 1938 as the "Four Harmony Kings" while he was working as a coal miner in West Virginia. After moving to Knoxville, Tennessee and obtaining their own radio show, the group changed it's name to the "Silvertone Singers" in order to avoid confusion with another ensemble known as the "Four Kings of Harmony". They added the same name Swan shortly thereafter, since Swan Bakeries sponsored their show; their wide exposure through radio brought them a contract with King Records.You're listening to the Gospel Greats.About the great gospel singers.
