[mrtheoneandonly83]

[MazyMagillicutty]

This is the Detroit version and really the only one that matters to me. It was the first recorded and it is by far the best.

[kotrt3]

[iluvdorinda]

Is Carol on piano?

[wjiharris]

I love this song, but I prefer the UNAC version with Linda Pawlovich doing the lead.

[Johnzoe777]

I must agree with you 100%+ Linda Pawlovich sung that song with conviction and with the anointing.

[sneakas9]

Second that...this arrangement slows it down too much...like the runs with the bass..though...

[steven2312]

I Love this Song... And Because of this song you Posted john, i Went And bought off of ebay im Gonna listen to it as x-Mas gift to myself lol

Thanks John!!!

[isaiahangelo]

sounds like there was a dispute at the time this song came out as to feel and the original chord changes. Thank God James Cleveland and Voices of Cornerstone at least did a decent re-write lol

[TTOT1106]

[stretch4me]

Can someone tell me when Carol Cole is having her Musicians & Singers Conference? I know its in September sometime, but not sure of the date.

[ckeomanila]

Oh My Goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the version that I was looking for. Thank you! Thank you!

Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!!!

[jjhuddleston]

Love this song by Donald Vails, he was one of the best gospel singers in the business. Carol Cole is a blessing today, by keeping the spirit of Gospel music alive and well in the City of Detroit!

[Ovaljean]

I'm going to see Carol tomorrow and tell her she did this number....... SangCAROL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[8315dbird]

Lord this brings back so many good memories and I can't help but have a few tears in my eyes, it reminds me of my cousin that use to lead this back in the day and all those from my former choir that have gone on to glory. Thx for posting it is a blessing Bless the Lord.....

[sladariusc]

Uhhhh....trying telling someone from down south that!

[theoriginalcapout]

check out "with a made up mind" by donald vails and the choraleers!

[melvinglenn]

nope a different Melvin...btw the clark sisters had this on a album of their own too

[theoriginalcapout]

yes i remember that but it seems as if she wrote it for carol the way she acted up on it!

honestly no comparison, yet also no desrespect for the original or the originator.

[theoriginalcapout]

*disrespect*(lol)

[theoriginalcapout]

listen to those drums and that bass...pure bliss,i love it!

[iluvdorinda]

@theoriginalcapout I love the rumble and rolls of the drums back in the day!

[theoriginalcapout]

"with a made up mind" and "a praying spirit" are my all time favorite gospel songs!

[loaactnow]

wow everybody recording this

[theoriginalcapout]

you mean everybody recorded this...this album is 30 years old.

this is the best recording of this song by far!

[TheWordCenter]

Yeah! If I'm not mistaken, an early (perhaps the original) version of "Praying Spirit" was recorded at a COGIC UNAC 5 Convention...by Twinkie and The Clark Sisters out front. I might have that album somewhere. Pray that I can find it. LOL

[kmilton92]

Reverend James Cleveland had also recorded this with his Church Choir in Los Angeles. But I like Donald Vails version the best. Carol Cole really sang this song.

[leo3462]

please find it now that was the bomb

[arr2ssr]

good info: the orginal praying spirit was written by Twinkie Clarkandrecorded by the clark sisters on the "counted all joy" LP

[TheWordCenter]

Thanks for the good info. Glad to learn more insights.

[loaactnow]

you think so?

[theoriginalcapout]

yes that is true because twinkie wrote it!

[melvinglenn]

Carol sang that song boy that brings back memories

[theoriginalcapout]

is this melvin from crosstown that sang on this album?

[steven2312]
