As for the Swan Silvertones, they're one of my favorite gospel groups,
but this record was marred by a very intrusive piano obligato.

imo obligato is an invalid word here, the tinkling piano, intrusive as
it is, is not necessary for the essential performance; the piano is
a frippery

Geoff, the word is obbligato, with two b's, and that's how I spelled it
in my post. It is unethical of you to quote my post and edit it to make
it look like I misspelled a word or otherwise said something I didn't
say. This isn't the first time you've done this. Please stop.

Guess my revived attempt to nominate a gospel song bombed again.

Diane, obligato has the same meaning as obbligato so I have not

you are trying distract from your questionable use of the word.

Roger's Billy Stewart captures first place, with the next 3 all bunched together. Diane's Quinns in second, my Fulson third, and Mark's extremely polarizing (3 firsts, 4 lasts) Train in 4th place. Those 4 move into Round 1. Jim's Blue Jays with an appropriate title as it goes away.
