Only a Look: A Historical Look at the Career of Mrs. Roberta Martin and the Roberta Martin Gospel Singers of Chicago, Illinois

Never has there been a group with such spirit and anointing as the legendary Roberta Martin Singers of Chicago. From their humble beginnings at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Chicago in 1933 until the untimely demise of Roberta Martin in 1969, to their being honored at Washington’s Smithsonian Institute in 1981; the Roberta Martin Singers and their leader, Mrs. Roberta Martin Austin have set a gospel singing standard whereby even gospel singing ensembles today are measured.

Only A Look is a book which chronologically details the musical career of one of gospel music’s premiere singing ensembles. As you read this book, you will relive the lives of Mrs. Martin and her singers as they travel across this country: singing “Songs of Faith on Wings of Love.”
