Sweet Spirit
I love the story of how Doris Akers wrote the gospel hymn Sweet, Sweet Spirit (you can read the story here). It's a gospel piece I remember from my childhood sung many times by men's choirs or quartets similar to this one (click here). I love when old classics are renewed in new arrangements and sung by new artists. The Choir of Columbia Bible College in Abbotsford has a wonderful version on their CD Voci di Fuoco that has made me enjoy this piece in a whole new way.
