God created polio, science cured it. God created small pox, science cured it. God created leprosy, science cured it. God created 2.million different illnesses, science has found cures for many. God created infertility, science invented IN-VITRO and an estimated 15 million new lives. God`s life averaged 45 years, science extended it to 75. 100.000 innocent children died in Haiti suffocating beneath the rubble. This ALLMIGHTY god, didn`t lift a finger to help.Praise be to god !!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU FOR this clip! Please do rename it for what it is, though--"Almighty God," as someone else has stated. I would have loved to find this long ago.
Happy Birthday Alice Babs, 88 year today (26/1-12)

Duke Ellington wrote Sacred Concerts with Alice Babs voice in mind. Whenever she couldn't perform he had to use three singers to do her part.

Who is the clarinetist ? He plays a german system clarinet, so I suppose that it's deefinitely not Jimmy Hamilton ?
