It began as an 18th century hymn! In 1969 it became a worldwide hit! It’s now a pop and gospel classic!
Oh Happy Day by the Edwin Hawkins Singers was released in April of 1969, certified RIAA gold on June 3, 1969 reaching #4 on the Billboard charts. Here you see it celebrated with an Authentic, First Presentation, Second-State RIAA White Matte (Second-State because the original backing paper and hanging have been removed).
For sixty years the best in music has been honored with gold and platinum awards. Collectors have enjoyed their visible connection to the music, the artists, and the people who've given us the soundtracks of our life.
Scroll down to AWARD FORMATS and an AWARDS GALLERY to see pictures and stories of hundreds of award types and presentations. I hope you enjoy looking around and that you see and connect with some of the music you've loved.
Welcome,
