Wilmington Chester Mass Choir- Ride On King Jesus

[mkdken]

at 5:05 dude iced it!

[azizip171]

@Dewkoh, the choir combined two other African American spirituals with "Ride On King Jesus". Those songs are "In That Great Gettin Up Morning" & "Ain't That Good News". I featured this choir in my pancocojams blog post "The Directing Styles Of African American Gospel Choir Directors". That post also features a video of In HIS Presence Choir singing another rendition of this song, & 1 video of Rev. James Cleveland, the Chicago Mass Choir singing other songs, Google that title. Peace!

[bkmustang07]

I used to love it back in the day when you had that one soprano hit that high note

[PhillyGregA]

@bkmustang07 THAT VOICE AT THE END WAS A MAN.

WCMC changed ma life. Ernie introduced me to recording. I was just a Tenor but I learned so much. Now I'm a minister of Music and a studio owner. My Kids get a real kick of Seeing Uncle Lem and I as kids ourself..... Front n Center! Little did I know..... How much I was Learning.

[SilliSami17]

[dougiemac622]

After all these years....I'm still loving WCMC. Hit, after hit, after hit. I can' t wait until May 6 2010 . That's when the 10th CD is going to be released. I miss Ernie greatly. I can truly say that WCMC wears his name loud, and proud!!!! Continued favor WCMC.....Maryland loves you!!!!

[Quester550]

This is a Great song, No matter how it's Presented. I've heard it Sung by " Half Asleep choirs & Very excited choirs, Both have their place.

Scripture says: Make a JOYFULL Noise unto the Lord. Please don't be afraid to show Some Excitement when singing to the Lord.

[205STAR]

Oh the Good Days. I can remember...I want em back! lol

[erb422]

classic LOVE IT

[Maestromjpro2000]

The organ was okay Willis Hickerson is a multi-keyboardist. And at that time that this was recorded most organist played a jazz style organ which is much different than what we play now

[mineyhoney]

3:20 wass soo hott

[alexxxgv]

ARRIBA ALIANZA !!

[jarchoco]

they need a better hammond organ

[roadrjosh3]

Ya'll really blessed my soul with that annoited singing. Shouting and praising God is all good but sumtimes we need that real worship and that ministering of song 2 our spirits and this chior did jst that. God bless u keep up the good work for the Lord.

[jarchoco]

the organ on there sounds real daul, it does not sound good, they should had a B3 Hammond organ or C3 hammond organ.

[waymondsdaughter2]

The point is the lyrics, the worship, the praise that breaks forth, too many times people get caught up in the "music" rather than the glory.

[jarchoco]

no the hammond organ needs to sound nice no matter the music matters to people if u play bad in the COGIC u get kick off the organ, the organ was a bad sound.

[waymondsdaughter2]

So again you're saying the MUSIC takes precedence OVER the lyrics, praise, and worship? So I'm assuming by your standards when the music stops, the praise stops too. This is why "church dominations" have no place in the building of God's kingdom.

[jarchoco]

i did say that i said that they need a better hammond organ if they had a better hammond organ it would sound nice.

[waymondsdaughter2]

"no the hammond organ needs to sound nice no matter the music matters to people if u play bad in the COGIC u get kick off the organ, the organ was a bad sound...." this is what you posted in response to me, AFTER I said it is the lyrics that lead people to praise and worship, and that it is all for the Glory of God.

[magicalfingers33]

If I may interject Nothing takes presidence over the praise worship and lyrics but the instrument is an assistance and should have a good sound as it will inhance the atmosphere.not to mention a production at this level should be done with the spirit of excellence

[waymondsdaughter2]

I understand the "spirit of excellence" however when people become so focused on the music then their praise and worship becomes hendered. If it's all about the music then let it stant as an instrumental.

[jarchoco]

that is true,

[hazeleyes1650]

when i was young we use to sing this song and tear the church down.

[girux2]

soprano at 5:00 killed it!!!

[keziathepoet]

[dougiemac622]

Hey FreLi77...thank you so much for posting Ernie and WCMC. From day one when I saw them in concert there was a renewed appreciation for the Gospel message set to music. Ernie had work very closely with a workshop choir I used to sing with. He had become my favorite director of all time. I loved his energy and seriousness. I can boast that I have every release of WCMC. Thank you for posting these JEWELS. God bless you!!!!

[bellalyrica]

Holy crap, Chris Rock is conducting. That's so awesome for him!

[DaNi69a2k6]

[one4theroad]

WOW! I thought I would never see this again. I remember as a 11 year old watching this program on WHYY Channel 12 in Philadelphia. The program had Hezekiah Walker and an early version of the Love Fellowship Crusade Choir and a few other local groups who sang as well. That was great music then and great music now. Bring back the days...
