justin wilson made this?? man i'm in aeolians and sing one of his pieces right now. its beautiful. now i hear this. man you are gifted. keep using your gift for God man.
Awesome Guys!!! Especially the tall guy to the left with that superstar quality!!! Go Chris ( Watkins )! Awesome arrangement Justin( Wlson) on the keys and fine fine singing from Steve ( Mackey ), and the sisters Shelana Wilson (Justins' wife ) and Shelea Frazier!!!!
This is like Take 6, Manhattan Transfer, Singers Unlimited, Brasil 66 and Swingle Singers all rolled up into a few former SDA Oakwood students accompanied by The Oscar Peterson Trio
As a British SDA I am so glad You tube exists so I can hear stuff like this!!!!!!!!! PS: does anyone have the old oakwood song called It's about time and another called Higher? If so, is there any chance you could upload for me!!!
Now all y'all need to be slapped in the mouth two tiems for singing like that. Man, my mouth is hung open. Where can I hear y'all sing? I am serious. This is awesome, and it is one of my favorite songs too.
now either I was looking too hard, or I saw Shelea mouth to the pianist to play her note at the beginning. lol. But, this is a ridiculous arrangement of this song.
Yeah, because the dude started in some random key...actually he started in key of Richard Smallwood's "Emmanuel"....Sister girl picked up on it quick and saved the day....Gotta love the musician singers.....The arrangement is SICK!!!! But I'm going to need ALL the singers to learn ALL the words to "Emmanuel" its a zillion years old...
They didn't start the song, "he" started the song...It was important for them to be in a specific key because of complex arrangement, thus Shelea's signaling for a note as kingrod87 pointed out. Everything after that was intentional and super fierce...I still want them to learn the words by this Christmas--a tee hee
Or we could ask the keyboard guy why he gave such a difficult intro chord...extended augs & dims together with no low tonic on the bottom?!?!? Brutal...I don't blame the guy for starting where ever...
I still maintain that the key Stevie started in was intentional. I think Shelea wasn't sure if she'd need to hear her note before the song & once Stevie started she realized she needed some help navigating to her key. I'm only saying this because I've known Stevie for a lot of years & his ear is just way too good for him to start on some random note that has nothing to do with the song- he is also a "musician singer"- a very capable pianist.
You're right about him leaning the lyrics, though:-)
That was supposed to read "learning"... I suppose if I'm going to appoint myself as Wilson & Company's Public Relations Director the least I can do is spell things correctly :-)
YOU BETTER SING STEVIE WONDER!!!! I didnt even know that Chris sings...I dont even have to comment on the frasier sisters...they know what's up...PRAISE GOD!!!
Very good..I love the jazzy arrangement,
