Sleep on darling mother

The title of a soul song on my I-pod by the group Soul Stirrers. The song is from 1945

The Soul Stirrers are an American gospel music group, whose career spans over more then eighty years.
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 made other important changes in those years:
ad-libbing lyrics, singing in delayed time, and repeating words in the background
as both a rhythmic and emotional support for the lead singers.
