Hmmm, this version is a little different from the one off of the album that this concert supposedly came from. Around 1:25 on this video, on the album her voice cracks so hard after the "youuuuuu." But what is so amazing about it is, she immediately drops into her lower registry and in a booming voice belts the next few lines until ascending back up into the soprano range. The audience, of course, loves it as I did.
@joshuathemusician yup I noticed that too! I would have liked to see the video of that, not because of Jessye but because of the choir. In the recording you can hear the choir getting "happy."
Saw this concert on PBS in 1990. Been wanting to watch it again 'till now. Thanx so much for posting. Looking forward to watch "Ride On, King Jesus" ; "Over My Head/ Lil' David & Calvary on your new channel.
She is so awesome! I just began studying classically and am inspired by the power, clarity and quality of Ms. Norman's voice!
