 Smith's organist skills were so popular that in 1962, Savoy released an LP of gospel instrumentals with Smith's organ as the only accompaniment titled "Little Lucy Smith at the Organ".By 1963, Smith replaced Martin as the regular pianist and musical director on their recordings.Gloria Griffin was brought on board in 1957 to replace Bessie Folk, who'd been involved in a serious auto accident and could not sing in the group as a result.
