This recording was done in 1971 by the Chicago Staff Band of the Salvation Army, at its Chicago Temple Corps. The soloist is Tom Gabrielsen, playing Erik Leidzen's arrangement of the Rev. George Bennard hymn, "The Old Rugged Cross." Rev. Bennard, incidentally, composed the hymn at Albion, Michigan. At the time, he was a Methodist evangelist, but he had been an early officer with the Salvation Army.
