Tambourines To Glory SIGNED & DATED by LANGSTON HUGHES 1st Edition Hardback

This is a very good hardcover edition of Tambourines to Glory signed, dated & location marked by Langston Hughes. For every bustling jazz joint that opened in Korean Warera Harlem, a new church seemed to spring up. Introduces you to an unlikely team behind a church whose rock was the curb at 126th and Lenox. Essie Belle Johnson and Laura Reed live in adjoining tenement flats, adrift on public relief. On a day of inspiration, the friends decide to use a thrift-store tambourine and a layaway Bible to start a church.

Their sidewalk services are a hit: Lauras a natural street performer who loves the limelight, while Essie is a charismatic singer with a quiet spirituality. Before long they move to a thousand-seat theatre called the Tambourine Temple. The two women are joined in their ministering by Birdie Lee, the little-old-lady trap drummer who can work the congregation to a feverish pitch, and Deacon Crow-For-Day, an impassioned confessor.
