Rev. Charles Nicks & The St. James Adult Choir - No Doubt In My Mind/What You Need

[gingerbread1231]

I keep coming back to this video, not only for inspiration but the great memories I have of Rev. Nicks and Jimmy D directing. Thanks for keeping it posted.

[ButchinDetroit]

This is when the now razed Ford Auditorium was Holy Ghost headquarters at the "O Give Thanks" concerts presented by St. James Baptist Church annually on the Monday before Thanksgiving. We are all the better for having experienced such joy.

SING CHARLES

[AaliyahJS]

I will love you forever Pastor Charles Nicks Jr Howard L, S. Sadler St. James my first church home.

[pfredy]

btw, a lot of St. James songs are now available on itunes, including many of the soloists.

[gingerbread1231]

Every song Rev. Nicks sang was awesome! This is just one example.

[fcdmusician]

This reminds me of old Morning worship services at my church, First church of Delverance. There's nothing that can take place of the traditional church music, it always have a message. I LOVE IT!

[PentecostalBro07]

This song makes you Pat your feet, clap ya hands, and get ya praise BOUNCE on. Aint nothing like the ole school beat!

[goodstiff]

Every posting and song St. James does now is a classic. I love the way St. James have church; reminds me of my home church services, Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church, Chicago, Illinois, Rev. Clay Evans, Founder and Pastor. We churched like St. James every Sunday morning and afternoon. It appears that the day of having church like these two churches are almost gone. We would from service wore out, but a good tired feeling of joy.

RIP Reverend Nicks, Your Legend will Live On My Heart. My Favorite song is "I Can Depend On Jesus & His "Come To Jesus"

[fcdmusician]

Marcell, wonderful memories. God bless you.

[whatuwatchingjoe]

Are they original people who recorded this song?

On a side note Im beginning to think Mississippi Mass Choir has re-recorded every single song from back in the day.

[trulyblessedbygod]

yes St. James recorded this song first.

[THERIGHTREVEREND]

This is a congregational song. You all are talking about "This Morning When I Rose" which is a Dorothy Love Coates arrangement. most of Mosie Burks (mississippi mass) songs are old Dorothy Love Coates Songs. EVERYBODY covered EVERYBODY'S stuff back then.

[trailblaze2003]

That is what the mississippi mass choir has done.

[loaactnow]

this was a medley of congregational songs

[eldermjenkins20]

Yall Better Sang It St. James!!

[sirmagicfingers]

That's Detroit!!!!!!!!! And thats the one and only Bishop Andre S Woods on the organ. He plays the classic St. James style.

[mrtyroneb]

You are so right! Bishop Andre S. Woods is from the school of Nicks! He is by far and away one of the baddest organists I have ever heard! And Detroit has some great ones:Tony Lucas:Rudy Stanfield Jr:Daryl Huston and Brian Watkins are just a few that quickly come to mind. Woods once said he plays in his sleep...and I believe it!

[sar729]

I believe this was at Ford Auditorium

[dexzion]

OMG, where did you find this!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!

[PentecostalBro07]

Alright Now, That's Ole School Church!

[tdavidray]

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

The choir at my church sings this lil St. James! But nothing beats the original.

I love how the choir is sitting, but still on one-accord, rockin the same way!
