Thanks for the posts, Franc and Kev.....I'm waiting on the radio station to complete the archive, and I'll post up as soon as I have it. Should be within the next 48 hours, hopefully. Cheers!

Here's the archive link for the last Divine Chord Gospel Show broadcast....includes some killer music from Robert Welch, Sammy Israel and a whole bunch of artists that gave their soul to their craft. If you can spare on hour of your time, you might find something you haven't heard before! ;) First aired on 23rd April 2014 Here's the 34th installment of The Divine Chord Gospel Show which appears monthly on dublab.com. https://www.mixcloud.com/gregbelson/divine-chord-gospel-show-pt-34/ For pt. 1, we keep things midtempo and oh so soulful, with a killer Axelrod-esque interpretation of the classic 'Wayfaring stranger' by Sammy Israel. And Champ deliver one of the classiest cuts on the label via Rev. Robert Welch. In pt. 2, we feature some incredible music out of LA via the sweet rarity from the Master Keys. And we head to the Carolina's twice over for the sublime Sensational Southern Echoes, and from 1985, the Gospel Impressions. For pt. 3, we raise the tempo with a killer cover courtesy of Shirley Finney, as well as a great dancer from the William Singers. The White Star Spiritual Singers deliver a total show stopper, whilst the Left Rev. McD. Eugene McDaniels gives us a classic offering from his essential 'Headless Heroes' LP. Amazing!

It sounds to me like this is an adaptation of Clara Ward and the Ward Singers 'Gonna build a mountain' on Tuba, from 1965. Similar kind of hook and lyrics, but Mr Capree has added his own embellishments. So on the originality stakes, it doesn't rate that high, from what I can see.....but as far as I'm concerned, I'd love to own a copy. Had a chance a while back, and scuppered it. I've heard better dynamic records, but there's something about this tune that creeps inside your noggin and gets the toes tapping......fab 45, really.
