"YOU MADE THE DIFFERENCE" Yolanda Adams(SOUTHEAST INSPIRATION CHOIR)

[kiresenoj]

This song has been inmy spirit for a minute! Glad I found it. So many memories this song brings!

[deansvision]

Yolanda's first solo project is entitled, " Just As I Am" produced by Thomas Whitfield. It came out in 1988-1989. It stayed on the top of Billboard's top charts for two years straight.

[bacardi123]

@deansvision actually it came out in 1987

[doreaves]

wow this brings back memories.. the youth and young adult choir, we rocked this song!

[duece2K5]

Man...this song just took me back to my days of being a youth musician in my hometown...the Youth Choir used to sing the notes off this song!!! I can't stop listening to it now...Thanks for posting it!

[Revchantel]

This completely surprised me to find out that this was Yolanda Adams back in the day

[tevarri]

I REMEMBER LISTENING TO THIS EVERY MORNING B4 SUNDAY SCHOOL...

[friendofman]

Oh, how I would LOVE to have this on CD! Thanks for posting it. I come back periodically and "zone" on this highly anointed and "cranking" song! Both the choir AND the soloist made this song HAPPEN! Of course, the musicians and directors are major contributors, too! Carl Preacher, what I know of his his music, was an excellent songwriter and musician, with the Southeast Inspirational Choir, as a pianist for Sara Jordan Powell, as a member of the trio BC&S, and also on his solo work.

[ajessicap]

I have been searching for this song for so long. Didn't know who sang it all I knew was the chorus. I should've known it was Yolanda Adams. You have really blessed me today. I used to listen to the first two minutes and some seconds of this song on a cassette my mother used to have for the longest because she the tape ran out. LOL! Thank you so much.

[LadyNemesis2007]

The annointing is so heavy on this song- She is not just singing, she is pleading to us, crying out to our inner man. Her voice on this song, became a double edged sword that cut my heart open and the holy spirit came pouring in! How wonderful it must have been for those who witnessed this live- they must have all been on the floor by the time it was over- I'm always affirming my allegiance to Christ when I hear this. Thank You god!

[angeeNtrinity]

This is sanging...Listen to Yolanda and the different levels in the choir, now this is sanging this is the kind of gospel I was raised on, and some 30 years later, I still love it.

[LadyNemesis2007]

I fall out in tears everytime I listen to this song. She was truly ministring to peoples souls with everything she had in her when she sang this. Amen Lord Jesus!

[1974littlelady]

True blast from the past

[neetrab]

haha!!! Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just KNEW I wasn't going to find this song on youtube.. We still have the record downstairs..LOL!

[simsdale]

o man da good old days in houston

[Marb38]

I love this jam--and how Yolanda adams gives God her all in this song--so RAW..

[sojourney10]

OMG! She song this song? Beautiful!

[funkeydude87]

This is really weird

[yomewill]

i remember when this came out...yea, God!

[napphedprncss]

I remember we sang the shout outta this song!! Whooooo!!

[toreymack]

Omg! That's all I can say!

[friendofman]

I have ALWAYS liked this tune from the first time I heard it! I don't know why I didn't buy it!!! Amazingly, I found a copy of the "My Liberty" album at a local record shop a few years ago (a "small miracle" after 20 something years!). hope their music is re-released someday--on CD or even music downloads. This still sounds fresh!

[kiresenoj]

OMG!! This song takes me back to some wonderful memories!!

[MsSerita80]

i 'm in class about to jump out of my seat. sang it girl, sang it.

REPEAT!

[1misslili]

[Quincii66]

Sunshine10 I feel you - I use to do the SAME THANG!!!!!!

[Poeticbobbi]

Now, this is that Gooood old school church!!!

You older folks know what I mean,when ya grandmother made you get up and go and then you was sooo glad you did

[Raymuzick]

WOW! I havent heard this since i was knee high to a curb!!!

[FavorShown25]

LOL!! kneehigh to a curb, thats when i heard it, when my great granmother had it on vinyl

[born2sing65]

I had no idea this was her! I remember this song. There was another song that she sang with this choir also I believe.

[friendofman]

@born2sing65 Yes, she was the soloist on their song, "My Liberty," another great song by this choir.

[sunshne10]

OMG! I remember this! I had it on cassette back in the day. I used to dance all over my room leading and directing my (make believe) choir.

[ICANDIGUOUT]

God led me to this album on Paula Records a long time ago! I was so estatic to get it cause I didn't know there was stuff out on her prior to that hard to get debut CD! I wore that disc out, it got scratched, and eventually I had to throw it out! ;-(...Lol!

[choirboy27]

I sang this at the age of 9 in the church choir!!!

[sarensontrotter]

This was the every SUnday morning on the radio song!!

[cwillis0011]

yolanda can sing this song. i love it!!!!

[Dreambro1]

I have this on Vinyl,, and many more too

[Phantom2007]

Oh Praise the Lord! I get happy off this song. Thank ya

[StyleNMan]

Yolanda tore this song up. I played this song so many times, and I want to present this song to the choir I sing with. Also have the entire album Inspire Me on cd.

[minjcj1961]

Since you have the cd,can you plz post "SAVIOUR MORE THAN LIFE TO ME"?

[hubec7]

I know this is a stretch but does anybody have the song "seek ye the Lord" It was sung by Outreach Baptist Church pretty much home church for Southeast. Led by Yolanda Adams if so can you please post it or tell me where I can buy it??

[gangbangz324]

2:15 good bass line

[windofthespirit]

MAAAAAAAAAAN OMG I remember the day my tape player ripped this one up. I was heartbroken. Thank you SO much for posting this. Man I've been looking for this album everywhere. LOVED IT!

[getogirl]

I love this song, dont forget the choir has got her back all the way! They make the song too!!

[pierlejna83]

I agree. I hate it when the lead is singing w/ all they have and the choir is blah!!!

[videogirlzzzzzz]

As my mama used to say, "that girl sang the mess out of that song"! So powerful and real, and she was ministering. Boy the anointing was HOT on her with this one - as usual.

[favorsonme]

as they say "she put her foot in it"!

[valleykev42]

I have always loved my sister Yolanda, but I didn't know she tore it up back in the day. I was in high school and not yet saved during this period. She will always be one of gospel's best singers. However, my highlight with her has always been her preachin'! I remember the first concert I saw her in at my home church, Faithful Central in LA back in the 90s. I don't even remember what she sang, but she started preaching and was looking right at me. She has always ministered to me.

[hammondman94]

Dex....you brought back some memories.....Post Inspire Me!!!!

[dexzion]

I absoultely love this choir! I have several of there projects. Well of course I got them after the fact but hey I love this choir! They were ahead of there time! If you listen to there music, you could hear why.

dex (zm)

[DLace91]

THis was my favorite choir growing up. I went to church with several members including Yolanda. Yall should have heard Yolanda lead "My Liberty" with the choir in 1990 for their 20th Anniversary. She KILLLLLLLLLLLLLED it!!! I was real young, but I remember that. I was in AWE!

[small1der06]

I thought I was the only one who remembered My Liberty!!! What a flashback. I havent' heard that song in so long, I was starting to think that I made it up.

[pierlejna83]

LOL...

[pierlejna83]

I agree. I don't know which I like best... My Liberty or this song w/ her singing lead.

[deansvision]

Yolanda Adams is a personal friend and more than a singer she is a great person! Yes," Just As I Am" was a great project, she still does awesome projects. God has certainly enlarged her territory and as a result many people that could care less about gospel music,listen now. So maybe her ministry is not for you at this point, but it is for those that do not put gospel music in a box. Yes, I speak from the gospel music industry side as well as a avid music buyer.

[loopyman76]

This song was the JAM!! This was Yolanda's last album with the SIC before she went solo.

[FavorShown25]

Come on now, Yolanda was young with a pipin voice

[drumz2praze]

This is a hot song. You wouldn't happened to have Yolanda's "Wash Me" from her first album would you?

[Johnzoe777]

Are you talking about her first solo album and did Thomas whitfield introduce her first project?

[drumz2praze]

Yep, her first project was called "Just As I Am."  I don't think she had as good a album since.

[loopyman76]

You're right. That album was NO JOKE!

[videogirlzzzzzz]

Oops, did not realize you answered the question about the album already. I'm just now finding this and reading the comments.

[videogirlzzzzzz]

Oh yeah,I remember that one..it was Thomas Whitfield presents Yolanda Adams.

[Johnzoe777]

I believe that was her first solo album.I pray I still have that album so that I can post some of those hits

[hecancut40]

Can please post "Inspire me" I love that song

[bigdaddyinaustin]

As a teenager in the 90's in Houston went to many -SEIC- concerts...my favorite choir of all time..and I'm white:) only on the outside...

[Bartsing]

This was when Yolanda really did sing. Lord there is a sad difference today.

[akdyer03]

Are you serious! A sad difference? Yeah there is a SLIGHT different but not a sad one she still can tear it up!

[professorlip]

Man, You're pulling out the classics. Thank You so much. This was the jam when I was a little boy. Yolonda was killing!!!

[gameplaya1273]

I heard this song on the radio today and remembered how much I loved this song and the lead vocalist onn this song even though back in the day i did no know that it was Yolanda Adams,

[keyofg77]

Johnzoe777 .... Bless u!!!! I have been looking for this song. This takes me way back. This was the jam when I was a little boy! I'm gonna have to teach this to the youth choir at my home church.
