Dr. Arthur D. Kemp

[Morethanfaithful]

This music touches my soul. I feel like cryin. Yes, It is true worship,expressed.

[SANKOFA1]

Shout out to my PATNAS cousin...All the Bereal's in CALI are hella cold...

[ephilli1]

I met Michael back in 1996 at Hillside COGIC in California where I first was introduced to that Cali sound. I was so blown away I started playing piano more than drums. He is a very talanted and nice guy too he share chords, you still won't catch em though. I caught a few.

[SANKOFA1]

Please dont just say the CALI SOUND bra bra! All over the WEST are we getting down the same...Either way it is your oppinion and your right..MUCH LOVE!

[GOSH24]

Mane Doc!

(purposefull-Bad-grammar-to-ex­press-it-to-the-full)

[courageux28]

Mike Bereal is smooth and he makes the Hammond organ sing.

[yungatown]

YES SIR!!! He held it down...and when he opened up the drawbars at 1:57, I was shocked, I had not heard the organ played like this for a good lil minute!! Needless to say, bruh killed on this one.

[bigmike03]

This dude is extremely talented. and what most people dont understand about him is that he is one of the most humble cats i've ever met. us musicians could learn alot from him.

[a385400]

This song has gotten into my spirit, and I find myself wanting to hear it over and over again. Michael is definitely a monster. I also like Derrick Jackson's style of classical/gospel. I need more vids!

[halomaster1218]

smooth touch

[CHUCK4X]

Play on Mike!!!

[propheticmusic]

SERIOUSLY ANOINTED AND SKILLFUL!

[jadapooh]

lol, Michael Bereal is the absolute truth. First came across him on Marvin Sapp's "Diary Of A Psalmist"...He murdered the organ on "There's Something About That Name"...

Kevin Bond and Michael Bereal are my go to cats for licks and vibe...Please post more!

[fmason83]

yes sir!...I almost wrecked my car the first time I heard "there's something about that name"...I was like "WHO IN THE *swerve* WORLD IS *swerve* THIS CRUSHIN THIS ORGAN?!?!"

[jadapooh]

ha ha ha...hey my brother check out Donny McClurkin's "Great Is Thy Mercy" video...Kevin Bond is in true form on that song.

[fmason83]

I agree...I'm waiting for someone to post the video of Marvin Sapp's "Worship Medley"....Kevin Bond starts it off and Mike Bereal finishes it off....they also play together on some of TD Jakes' stuff.

[vbutts]

Lift ya hands and worship!!!!

hey thankya!!!lol

[harriter88]

Beautiful

[musiqbusiness]

Bereal has the best organ solo on youtube because no one has yet matched his dynamics ( & He's anointed). If you need a gospel band build it around this cat. Of course K.Bond, J. White, E.Brown, & A.Lindsey are in the same class.(Just my Opinion)

[Pearlman3370]

Man, don't forget about Cedric Thompson....

[musiqbusiness]

Your Right! You must be on the east coast?

[Pearlman3370]

I grew up on the east coast...lol BADNEWS 2^2down! Newport News VA all the way. I love in KY now though. Been following that style since K. Bond surfaced. K. Bond, C. Thompson, J. White, Mike B., Eddie Brown...feel me?

[fmason83]

yes sir doc!!!...those are my top 5....what you know about that 2 up 2 down?

[Pearlman3370]

MAAAAAN, betwenn St John COGIC, Earl Bynum, and Dr, Peggy Britt whatchu wanna?!? lol DENBIGH HIGH SCHOOL REPPIN THE PATRIOTS...SAY WHAAAAAAT?! HA HA!

[fmason83]

LOL...iight iight...You're legit...LOL

[Pearlman3370]

You know it, I played for a few churches in VA. Faith temple COGIC, Holy Tabernacle Church of Deliverance, Denbigh Baptist, Triumph Church of Deliverance! In between Ft Eustis, and downtown Newpuhnews (how you TRULY pronounce it) I was lovin it! I miss it for real forreal!

[diante2004]

whats the name of this song?

[ES7Mike]

I Will Make The Darkness Light (and the high place)

[songhands]

MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO!I think the devil is MAD 4real jus 4 playin that song so HEAVENLY!!!!!!

[huntguard40]

im so glad someone knows what they're talking about cause bigthinka dont

[chadbull]

That was very nice. Thanks for posting this clip

[huntguard40]

and the guy name bigthinka said that he cant play

[bigthinka]

never said that. The guy is an awesome player. I just don't appreciate the type of accompaniment he gave Kim Burrell on that other video.

But let it go brother. My point was that some COGIC players obscure the tune so much that the beauty of songs get's lost.

[POWERGRAND]

the only way that the song gets lost is if someone is on the organ or keyboard doesnt know what hes doing micheal bereal knows what hes doing on the kim burrell video he was backing her up and folling her she does the same thing with her singing and if you try to follow her and play straight you and her will clash because she knows how to sing different notes do runs that are outside of the standard way so mike was just following her the way your supposed to

[jadapooh]

Agreed, Michael Bereal is one of the best to ever do it. When a singer is staying true to the melody, no matter how abstract...the accompanying ideas are limitless.

[MisterNelson]

Mike and Charlie are cousins

[diante2004]

MY LORD! THIS IS REAL MUSIC

[fmason83]

Mike Bereal is a BEAST...I just started picking up some old Judy McAllister and Norman Hutchins....

why aren't there any clips of Jason White or Kevin Bond on here???

[fmason83]

...minus the clips from Azusa where Jason White is on keys..

[UCSD123]

Michael Bereal is one bad boy!

[88plays]

Whhhaaaattttt!!!???

That wuz Hotamashiya!

[meatdadrummer]

send me more stuff on this guy!!!!!!! i love his style!!! you can also send me some of his music to me at: demetrice_everett@yahoo

[mizshanny]

yo, these dudes inspire me but at the same time make me wanna quit! I think they got it covered...lol

[d65fitzer]

He's all UP in the music..... it just flows through him....

just the movement of his hands is beautiful..

[Dflip1]

The Truth!!!

[blackpat]

Wow!!!..(mouth dropping)...Simply amazing.Great technique on the organ...Most cats can't bring that out of a organ...Please post more!!

[housejmb]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[LXD1]

Mike is a beast met him at the AIMs convention he plays all the nice chords and plays for everybody.

[chrisgross74]

So incredibly CLEAN! He's AWESOME. And Eddie, the guy next to him is a real beast on the organ too!

[ajohns23]

Who is this? and where is he from? this brotha is annointed.

[RichBoy82]

That is Mike Bereal. He is currently playing at West Angeles COGIC but he plays for so many other artists.

[ES7Mike]

Is he in any way related to Charlie Bereal?
