"Reverend Gary Davis, also known as 'Blind' Gary Davis... (a) self-taught guitarist and banjo player, blind from birth... appeared at the inaugural Newport Folk Festival in 1959, and Harlem Street Singer appeared the following year. The album was recorded in a single three-hour session by American recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder and features 12 of Davis' best-known spirituals ... Harlem Street Singer reminds us of Reverend Gary Davis' power as a singer and his inventiveness as a guitarist, as well as his lyrical ability to get down to the point about his view of human nature in his songs". - Henry L. Carrigan Jr., Living Blues, November 2024
