R&B/Soul, Blues, Folk and World
Mixed Chicago gospel and spirituality group under the direction of lead singer Esther Lockhart. The other members were two of Esther Lockhart's sisters and a cousin. Ed Robinson played piano on the session, which also included organ (probably by Maceo Woods) and drums. Of the four sides released by the group, "Own Me as a Child" proved to be a hit. The group broke up in 1957. Esther Lockhart, who went by the name "Little Esther," got married and continued her gospel career as Evangelist Esther V. Smith. In the early 2000s, her home church was the International Gospel Center in Ecorse, Michigan.
