Losin' Boy...



Sometimes you come across a tune where song, performance and production all blend together perfectly. Eddie Giles' Losin' Boy is one such tune. Starting off in his youth with local gospel choirs, he waited until 1966 before releasing his first secular recordings but they were well worth the wait. Sadly his final secular recordings were in 1977 with Giles returning to his roots as pastor of a church in Shreveport, Louisiana. Our loss is indeed the church’s gain.
