Rance Allen churned that rhythm smack between gospel music and soul. Rance brought the fire, his every performance a dedicated reach beyond expectations. It’s like he lived in a realm above ours, and his performances were a ladder from our plane to his, an invitation to step up, step out, be good, do right, dance while doing it, jive and smile. And praise the Lord.

Rance sang about Jesus Christ, even when he didn’t mention him. His music was an invitation to groove along, but it was also a stepping stone to church. He focused not on the fire and brimstone but on building community, helping those in need, a church of embrace.

His two brothers were his band, along with Stax guests. On “Everybody’s Talkin’” you can hear disco coming around the corner and also the influence of Isaac Hayes. “You Need A Friend Like Mine” builds on the Staple Singers’ “If You’re Ready (Come Go With Me)”, and it features some of Rance’s finest falsetto, up there with Rev. Claude Jeter and Al Green.

Rance moves your spirit.
