O. N. Todd organized and developed a men's quartet at the First Pentecostal Church in Birmingham, Alabama, that became a favorite of the congregation in the early 50s.
The men who sang in that quartet were:
Gene Barr
Herbert Bearden
Harold Presley, Sr.
O. N. Todd, Jr.
Here is one of the songs that caught on early and was frequently requested:
Do You Know My Jesus?
Have you a heart that's weary
Tending a load of care
Are you a soul that's seeking rest
From the burden you bear?
Do you know my Jesus
Do you know my Friend
Have you heard He loves you
And that He will abide till the end?
Who knows your disappointments
Who hears each time you cry
Who understands your heartaches
Who drys the tears from your eyes.
Do you know my Jesus
Do you know my Friend
Have you heard He loves you
And that He will abide till the end?
Have you heard He loves you
And that He will abide till the end?...
