Review by Keshav Kumar

Album Review: How I Love To Call His Name by Argo Singers (1963) Alright, buckle up, folks. We’re diving into a slice of vintage soul goodness that’s equal parts funky and holy. The Argo Singers’ 1963 album How I Love To Call His Name is like finding an old vinyl at a garage sale—scratchy, unexpected, but kinda magical once you give it a spin. Released on Vee Jay Records (you know, the label that also gave us early Beatles tracks in the U.S.—big flex!), this gospel-meets-funk gem feels like Sunday morning church with a side of Saturday night groove. Let’s talk tracks. First up, the title track “How I Love To Call His Name.” Man, oh man. This one grabs you by the soul and doesn’t let go. Written by J. Goodwin (whoever you are, sir or ma’am, hats off), it’s got this raw energy that makes you wanna clap your hands even if you’re just sitting in your car listening to it. The harmonies? Tighter than your jeans after Thanksgiving dinner. And there’s something about the way they belt out that chorus—it’s not just singing; it’s testifying. Like, I’m pretty sure my toaster started humming along when I played this track. It sticks with you because it’s heartfelt without trying too hard, which is rare these days. Then there’s “I’ll Be Waiting For You,” which flips the vibe a bit. If the first track is all fiery revival tent, this one’s more like a quiet prayer under the stars. It’s slower, sweeter, and packed with longing. You can almost picture someone standing outside a bus station in black-and-white film, suitcase in hand, waiting for their ride home. The vocals here are smooth as butter on warm biscuits, and the backing choir adds just enough oomph to keep things interesting. Honestly, it’s the kind of song that sneaks up on you—you think it’s simple, but then BAM, it hits you right in the feels. What makes this album stand out isn’t just its genre mashup—it’s how real it feels. These aren’t perfect studio voices; they’re human ones, full of cracks and quirks that remind you music used to be made by people who lived what they sang. In 1963, while everyone else was busy grooving to Motown hits, the Argo Singers were over here crafting spiritual bangers that still resonate today. So yeah, How I Love To Call His Name might not have topped any secular charts back in the day, but it’s a hidden treasure worth dusting off. Listening to it now feels like eavesdropping on history—a little messy, a lot beautiful, and totally unforgettable. Oh, and fun fact: rumor has it the Argo Singers never actually existed as a formal group. Mind blown yet? Me too. Now go listen to this thing already.
