The Pace Jubilee Singers were a pioneering gospel ensemble established by Charles Henry Pace in Chicago in 1925, recognized as one of the earliest gospel groups to have their music recorded. Between 1926 and 1929, they issued more than 40 tracks through Victor and Brunswick Records, showcasing spirituals arranged by Pace alongside compositions by Pace, Charles Albert Tindley, and other contributors. Their musical approach highlighted tight harmonies, often supported by piano or organ accompaniment. The group briefly collaborated with Thomas A. Dorsey, and later sessions prominently featured soloist Hattie Parker.
