Today I’m playing the Gospel classic Oh Happy Day. This song is dedicated to my friend Sarah who celebrated her birthday earlier this week. It became an international hit in 1969 when the Edwin Hawkins Singers recorded their gospel version of an 18th century hymn. I hope you enjoy something a bit different today, and belated happy birthday to Sarah!
