[jddrew1000]

Who are the girls in the back Dwayne?

[Rowoches]

@jddrew1000: The ladies in the back are Barbara McCreary, Luella Hunt, and Delores Washington.

[jddrew1000]

@Rowoches Thanks D, I'm sure that's Delores Washington on that soprano. So beautiful.

[jddrew1000]

I see James on the piano

Who are the girls?

The living he loved me song is formally titled "OneDay" by the J.H. Singers,I think it was released on the L.P.of the same name.

[tlamarj]

Thanks for posting this wonderful and moving song. Would you happen to have Living He Loved Me-Dying He Saved Me by them? Thanks again and God bless.

[Lameech]

I have it by James Herndon on a 45rpm. He recorded it on Glory Records back in the 70's. I don't think you can find it anywhere since the company has long since went out of business.

[Church216]

Thanks for posting. JH, one of the most talented musicians and gospel singers in the business. Heard him way back in the golden agen of gospel.

[kidsound]

@Church216 There's a brand new clip of him singing--just posted yesterday!

[leesterg]

JH one of the best gospel musicians of all times.

[phinehasm]

please post more from him

[phinehasm]

where can i buy this cd's

[Zsanese]

thanks for sharing a beautiful song, it is one of my favorites. Does anyone have anything else by him, particulary "Lord Have Mercy"? I am also looking for James Cleveland's "Without a Song."

[Rowoches]

That "Oh Lord, Have Mercy" is TRUUUULY a house-wrecker! I do have the song, but have to really look for it.

I don't think that I have James Cleveland's "Without A Song," but I'll still look.

[archbish7]

Rowoches, that song is recorded on James Cleveland Live at Carnegie Hall. I believe that the original recording is on an album with the James Cleveland Singers.

[Rowoches]

Thank You for your reply.

[bishop9202008]

Yes, Reverend Herndon does reside in Durham. He plays for a couple of churches in the area. I have played on several programs with him.

[JayEm86]

You know, it would be great if either he or Eddie Williams would play piano for the Caravans on one of their reunion stops as their former pianists. That would have every Caravans fan within 200 miles flocking onto that location armed with video cameras, lol.

[archbish7]

JayEm86, you know that iz right, I would be one of the travelers.

[jamminondakeys]

I would love to have theopportunity to play with Mr. Herndon.

[rolandpraise]

Rev James Herndon still plays the piano for churches in Durham NC

[Church216]

Thanks for posting. I've often wondered what happened to James Herndon. He conducted a revival at our church in NJ back in the

mid-50s when he was about 19. Always enjoy his singing and playing.

[rolandpraise]

james herndon resides in durham nc i know him personally

[mintdc]

I didn't know that cassietta george song in so many groups, although I don't hear her in this clip... wow. Keep it coming!

[Rowoches]

Yeah, she may not be in this particular group. James Herndon had various combinations of singers.

[rfrank2005]

james herndon was a former pianist for the caravans.i believe delores washington of the carvans also sang with him.last i heard he was residing in durham,north carolina.

[samohi64]

Thanks for the comments. However, Cassietta George was never a James Herndon Singer. The young lady in the center is not Cassietta, but it's Luella Hunt, often confused with Cassietta George.You already know Delores Washington, Barbara McCreary is the other young lady and she is the younger sister to Luella Hunt!

[mamabmc1]

Thank you samohi64 for giving correct info about group, and even spelling names right!

[Rowoches]

After a whole year, I'm just reading this comment. Thanks for the correction. As far as Cassietta George, I wasn't going by the particular picture in this presentation. I saw an album cover a while back and the lady in the photo looked JUST like Cassietta. Either way, thanks for clarifying it for me. God Bless!

[Rowoches]

There has been a correction. Cassietta George wasn't a member of the James Herndon Singers. However, he did have different sets of Herndon Singers.

[bruhjun]

You betta talk it out boi

[Rowoches]

LOL! I can just hear you in the back of a hot church, where the air conditioner is broken and we using hand fans! Go'heeeeeead! J/K!
