A pre-Jonestown album by Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple


In November, 1978 charismatic cult leader, Rev. Jim Jones, directed his followers to kill themselves in the jungles of Guyana where he had set up a religious community. In a story that shocked the world more than nine hundred members of the Peoples Temple followed his directive. Five years  earlier Jones and the Peoples Temple released He's Able, a gospel album featuring the congregation's choir and their leader.
