The Old Rugged Cross ~ Jimmy Swaggart (1973)

Sit back and enjoy some  more wonderful golden gospel greats by #JimmySwaggart. Jimmy has a superb God-given talent for both singing and piano playing. This is track 8 from the album Jim LP 111 “This is Just What Heaven Means to Me” and it was written by #GeorgeBennard. If you have any negative comments, please keep them to yourself. I will delete any negative comments without hesitation. His gospel music is still wonderful all of these years later. As far as Jimmy's personal life, that's between him and #God. I have always loved his music and have listened to him since I was a kid.

I appreciate the music publishers for allowing these little heard gems to stay on my channel. I'm not trying to make money here or step on anybody's toes with copyright infringement. If there's ever a problem with anything I upload, I will be more than happy to take it down. I'm a collector who has amassed close to 50,000 songs on my computer, and I like to share things that are not heard too often. I imagine the majority of what I post isn't even on CD or any other digital format. I have taken time to digitally restore these from the original records; you might hear a stray click or pop here and there, but for the most part, these sound really good. In the event that something doesn't sound “good,” rest assured I've done the best possible job I can. Yes, it might be possible to remove more noise, but you also can kill the sound. I would much rather have a little bit of noise than to muddy up the sound, something I feel a lot of digital reissues of old recordings do.
