"Ain't No Grave: The Life & Legacy of Brother Claude Ely," a new project by author Dr. Macel Ely II, is a gripping and compelling true-life story of inspiration about the life and legacy of Brother Claude Ely. The author based his project upon oral history ascertained from more than 1,000 personal interviews with musical artists, ministers and Appalachian residents who remember the singer/preacher and his impact upon the lives of countless mountain people.
New York Times Editor Dana Jennings writes:
"It's sanctified singing like Ely's that we hear echoes of in Elvis and Little Richard, in James Brown and especially in Jerry Lee Lewis. But not a one of them ever burned on record … the way that Ely burns … The main difference is this: Most musicians were merely called by fame, by the Opry. Brother Claude Ely had been called by God."
The project includes a 368 page, hardcopy book with 290 photographs and a CD with preaching and music.
