very nice ,is this only gospel song with olli and rizen?That voice is so wonderfulto hear.It is one thing i love in all his music there is a 'distinctive'' sound in his voice i just love. it was something else i want to know but i 4got
can anyone tell me how to remove the women out of video?:) Then i want to make video with him singing with all the lyrics if possible,.I have tried the trimmer but I can't get it right
Thank you for this video! I find it outstanding on so many different levels. Not only is this man a great vocalist and stylist, but he dealt with throat cancer(!!!) and later with leukemia, and he still kept his faith in God. I read that his pastor (Noel Jones) and many others who knew him had great respect and affection for him. May God bless and strengthen his family. WOW--can't you hear the music in the air!
I'll be playing all of Ali-Ollie Woodson's songs on my next show the last Sunday in June (WFOS-FM, 3-7, on the Net). He's always been one of my favorite Temptations and I've raised more than one eyebrow when I suggested I'd rank him above David Ruffin and Dennis Edwards as their all time best first tenor. Each were special, but if I had to choose one, Ali's my choice. RIP, my brothaa, your music will NEVER die!
Ali Ollie Woodson has always been praising God with his voice. I can't take the narrow approach to think that he is only praising God with his talent when he is singing a gospel song. PS: Hear him on "Broken Pieces" with the Temptations
Acts2744, I think you need to demonstrate that your broad-mindedness through your use of language - no need to talk about "I can't take the narrow approach" as if others are! Please "open your mind" and see that I merely said Olie was praising without qualifying whether he was doing it before or not.
Not really sure what you're telling me, but please feel free to challenge my thinking, it's the only way I learn. To respond to other comments, hasn't it seemed that he has not really found his "spot" in the music industry? I really thought the Temptations was his spot; he has had no better platform to display his talent and his voice fits that genre and that group perfectly. Where else can he be better?
Yes. He does look different; I've been trying to figure it out myself. Think it is just aging, weight gain, some cosmetic dentistry, etc. But it is all good!
You know what, the weight is working for him. It's not that much. When he was younger, he was not a very big man, as far as I could see from his photos. But he is quite handsome for me. IT WORKS FOR ME!!! :)
I didn't mean that he wasn't handsome here.I didn't reconize him for a second,as a matter of fact he's very fine here-I guess I've been caught-up in his voice, I really didn't notice his looks as much, but you're right IT WORKS FOR ME TOO!!!!
Are you really related? I am such a big fan of Mr. Woodson's. Sometimes is frightening how much I adore this man. I hope that everything is going well with him and his family, mainly his health. I understand he is the featured vocalist in the play "The Greatest Love Story Ever Told". I hope that it swings by Indianapolis, Indiana or close. It would be worth traveling a distance to see Ali Ollie Woodson. :)
I was elated when I found Ollie Woodsons cd's. Her hollering destracts from his looks and voice. When I'm in my car, I ride with OLLIE...Ollie my "ACE" of "HEART"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, the business of music could be a hinderance for some good artists such as Ali. I know that he write songs his self, but I wonder if he had the right staff that knew how to market him, could he get the just compensation and recognition he so deserves?
Young singers of this current era need to realize that there is a technique with singing and that you do not have to always "squeal and holler" to always get your point across through in a song. Ali has a technique and he knows when to hit the high notes and the riffs.
Ali truly has a gift from God. Anytime you recover from three bouts of throat cancer and still have a voice delivery so passionate and strong, it must be annointed by God. I would love to see perform live.
this is a wonerful video and ollie you still sound and look good. i wish your duet partner had not oversang so much. it was not for her to duet with you. don't get me wrong, she has a great voice, but she need to audition for one of tyler perry's productions. ollie, i love your sincerity and spirit in this song. i pray for a voice like yours to be led to our church choir. God bless you,ollie.
I agree. This is a lovely song that requires a gentle, yet effective voice to portray it's message. Not so much a loud and overpowering voice to get the point across. This is the downfall with lot of black gospel singers. Ali really showcased his talent on this song and I just hope he continues to choose gospel songs.
thanks for responding. i would love for ollie to pursue gospel singing and make an album. he has the perfect gospel voice. i pray for a voice like his to show up in my church choir. have a blessed day!!!!!!!!
@Mandice Also, don't miss him on the "MOTOWN COMES HOME" CD. He performs a beautiful gospel song, "Broken Pieces" with the Temptations. (Ali, Theo Peoples, Ron Tyson, Otis Williams, & the late great Melvin Franklin, who talks about his life experiences as the prelude to the song.)
I enjoy all things Ollie Woodson! I agree that he probably is the best male vocalist alive, but am saddened that has not received recognition or compensation commensurate with his talent.
I got a chance to play with Ali a week ago... he's unbelievable. Honestly I think he got better in the last twenty five years. I think he's just going to keep getting better and better... amazing.
Without question, the best "Male Vocalist" alive today. His range, passion and delivery is unequaled. He should bring back the Ole School, that's where his money is. God Bless!
Ali is arguably the greatest vocalist still alive. He is amazing!! However, all that hollering done by the lady was annoying. She didn't match as a duet with Ali Woodson
I love this song...I love the entire cd!!

Ali was on the gospel of music with Jeff Majors in March 2008. He said at that time he was working on a gospel project.

Beautiful song- but the screaming took away from the song. Ali as always did a great job.
I believe she could have hit the high notes without screaming them.
