Recorded sometime in the late 1970s, and previously only available as a private press release on a tiny Maryland label, "Miracles" is the sole album from gospel preacher/singer Reverend Norman Weeks and his backing band, the Revelations. Little info is available, though if the modern soul end of gospel is your thing it's well worth picking up. As you'd expect, the vocals from Weeks and his collaborators are soulful and righteous, while the accompanying music is impeccably played and surprisingly well produced given the likely budget constraints. Highlights include the heavy funk-soul strut of "It Took A Miracle", the Bob James-influenced brilliance of "I Wanna Sing For You" and fizzing LP opener and bona fide dancefloor rocker "I Will Stand On It".
2006年にJAZZANOVAのSONAR KOLLEKTIVからDIXONのエディット入りで再発された「Hold On」でも知られるNORMAN WEEKS 牧師とREVELATIONSのレアなアルバムがHIGH JAZZ*から再発。SONAR KOLLEKTIVのEPにも収録されコンピレーションにも2度収録された彼らのフェイバレット「I Wanna Sing For You」はじめ、ゴスペル、ジャジーソウル、ブギー"奇跡"のサウンド! (サイトウ) (LPのコメントから参照)
