The group was a pioneer in the development of the quartet style of gospel, and a major influence of soul music , doo wop , and motown sound , some of the secular music that owed much to gospel.The Soul Stirrers signed with Specialty Records , where they recorded a number of tracks, including "By and By" and "In that Awful Hour". Harris quit in late 1950 to form a new group. He was briefly replaced on lead by Paul Foster, then by Sam Cooke .One of the early singles with Cooke was "Jesus Gave Me Water", a major hit that brought the Soul Stirrers acclaim. Thomas L.
