Out Satan!!

“The Demon Possessed Boy”   A T.L. Osborn Evangelistic Production     Like A.A. Allen, Osborn was a Soul Crusader who traveled the country – the world – healing the sick and possessed, driving out demons and performing assorted miracles.   He recorded his big tent revival meetings and audience responses.   This record features a boy who misfiled his father’s records one day, leading his father to suspect the devil’s hand and bring him to see the great and mighty Osborn.   In this recording, T.L. dramatically illustrates his power of exorcism, leaving the boy cleansed, never to mistake James Brown with Clifford Brown again.   True story.
