Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
Very good singing. Just some irony here is that while a black woman is singing the choir behind her doesn't have one black person, or so it seems, yet they try to sound like it's at a black church with deep voices
@StopFear I guess we are not supposed to notice that... kind of like we are not supposed to notice who is doing the vast majority of violent crime in our cities. I guess it works both ways.
@2010shemaiah Of course she's sad, look at her surroundings.... It all has to do with her times, which continue to be our times, but in a more covert way. She's singing with the race that oppressed and continues to oppressed us.
@fmazzar I'm sixteen... And I absolutely LOVE this type of music. I love it because the lyrics are clean, understandable, and the voices who sang them were gifts from God.. today, if you can keep a beat and remember the words to a song, they can make your voice sound good, and It makes me lose sleep at night thinking about how my generation is being fed crappy music I can't even call some of it music. I wish people would recognize the talent that existed back then and look for it now
Praise the Lord !! I am A Christian. This a very Beautiful version of this traditional Hymn. @ atheists' That is what God Does through his Word and Music he cuts right through to our inner most being, helps us see the truth Why we truly are here on Earth. Read Hebrews 4:12 KJV
Bet I saw this when I was a kid but had forgotten. So lucky to have Odetta and Tennessee together. Wonderful. Joseph Scriven older brother of my great great Grandmother Jane Scriven. World seems unaware of Jane so I just opened a blog for her, Drop by and say "Hi', Best Wishes, Katie

Absolutely beautiful! My church choir sang this song (in Chinese) recently, too! Welcome to my channel and give thanks to our best friend and our Lord Jesus Christ! Greetings from Hong Kong, China!
Lovely duet of two classically trained singers who made their careers in traditional and popular music. Both of them figure huge for music in general! I personally loved both of them and miss them both.
An absolutely gorgeous song. Too bad it's about Jesus and not something really relevant and soul-stirring - drinkin' beer with my favorite butch dyke lady, say, or the finer points of women's liberation. Still, an absolutely gorgeous song.
such a pitty, ppl tell me, this songs are classiker? Because her modern music of Satan? I think the holy Ghost is in this music, not also in the singers but in the inspiration ppl who wrote this songs Amen
I Will always love this song. I remember when I was invited to the alter with this song playing. I was very much in need of peace in my heart and mind. This song broke me and I could then receive the love of God, when I thought he would never open up to me.
God Bless you dear.. He the Lord loves YOU with an everlasting love.. why? because are fearfully and wonderfully made Psalm 139. We were made by God for His glory He put the love in us because He is love.. "whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be save." God
He wants you to live in Heaven and have a wonderful unspeakable joy for eternity.
Thanks, but I'm OK, I'm an overchurched atheist, heard it all before, and hearing it is what makes me not believe. I respect the sincerity of both those singing in the video and those who believe, but once again, no thank you. My original comment was just a statement to the profundity of music in general, and this song in particular. You take care.
I read you comment about you being an atheist. No matter what you or I choose to believe means nothing unless it is based on truth. Truth does not, will not, or can not change just because you refuse to believe it. God loves you, people have let you down, you have let yourself down, the same thing has happened to me. See 2nd part
@elkabong2k I understand your feelings... fortunately for me, God has made himself known to me and done things that defy explanation. I'm sorry that you have been missed by his touch.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol, exactly. People act like they're going to tell you something new and change your mind. Usually when somebody settles on atheism, it's not from a LACK of knowledge of Christianity.
Well, BlacknWhite, we Christians are not perfect. Lord knows I'm not! We all got our demons. Did you know that Tennessee Ernie's demon was Cutty Sark whiskey?
Yep, He was a Christian, but he also had trouble with the bottle, too.
The issue isn't that Christians (or anyone else for that matter) aren't perfect. It's just that we can't appreciate the song without people being pushy.
Well, sweetie, was I being pushy? I didn't think I was. I was just stating a fact that no one is perfect. But hallejuh! Praise be to Jesus we will be in the end!
@elkabong2k ..."."He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."
If indeed you are an atheist, you're a very RARE one that would admit that something that smacks of "religion" affects him for good! I implore you to fan this ember and "taste and see that the Lord is good"! There are countless ex-atheists that could tell you about what led to their conversion, and why they would NEVER go back to their former lives!

@tigerlilly66 I'm a lapsed atheist myself and you're right, I wouldn't want to go back to refusing Jesus as the Saviour. It's not easy and I'm still pretty new to full on conversion (not even baptised yet), but it's sooooo worth it. :) God bless.
Just in case...your salvation is secure, whether or not you get baptized! Baptism is the first commandment to believers after salvation, so I encourage you to get it done ASAP, but don't let anyone tell you it is part of the salvation process as it is NOT! I hope you're either in a good church now or soon will be. I'm independent Baptist and would recommend one in your town. I'm thrilled that you even know enough to spell Saviour correctly...good for you!
@tigerlilly66 Thanks, I know. I'm attending a Catholic church and will be baptised at Easter Vigil (April 23rd 2011) after completing the RCIA course. :) My kids will be baptised at the same time as I didn't have them baptised when they were younger, so it's pretty exciting! My brother is doing it too, so it'll be a family affair. It really is like a rebirth; now there's something I never thought I'd hear myself say!

@elkabong2k Why? Can you not see everything is in perfect positions in our universe. The "big bang" did it create a car or a wrist watch? So how did a pop cause all this. Think about it. I have know atheists but the atheists I knew never died.
@bluetowes Check out the TV reality show called I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant.Click on the episode I pooped a baby.At the end the narrator says to check your stools for children.There is a higher power. What is a greater miracle than the miracle of pooping a baby? And what greater proof of Jesus than wolf-killing Sarah Palin having a Down's Syndrome baby. Which at least she had the decency to not flush it Downs the toilet.Maybe she will severe its foreleg and give herself a bounty reward.
@etbella3 what are you talking about? are you saying that sarah palin was punished by having down´s syndrome baby ? you don´n t konw nothing about having babies, pregnancy or being mother. So about Jesus.
@etbella3 It's Old Testament thought that says "Bless god and He'll bless you, curse Him and he'll curse you." There is a new covenant to get under. Am I casting pearls before swine or do hear what I'm telling you? That is good news. Or is this about Palin? Can't see why she stirs up so many people that say she's a nothing with nothing to offer yet they keep attacking her. Maybe she'll go away if everyone ignores her. Or maybe she has some good things to say if people actually listen.
I've yet to meet a person who didn't have some unsoundness to their mind.
The conclusions he drew from his observations are certainly unsettling, but the concept that our bodies are literally nothing more than dust and ashes (and water), is an important reminder of our own frailty.
That we were made from the clay of the earth is, for all practical purposes, literally true. What amazes me is that the concept that there might have been some intermediate steps causes such a furor.
I do agree that pop culture can be shallow, but within it ideas are represented and built upon which within the slag heap, shows a progression forward into change which keeps people from being complacent OR dogmatic about things.
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." II Chronicles 7: 14
She had the bad fortune to follow a band, I don't remember who, who was a bit raucous. Some of the audience was a bit restless, and you could tell it was hurting her feelings. Then some teenagers started making noise in the lobby outside by the pay phone, and Odetta was on the verge of tears. I walked out there and shushed them, then came back to my seat. Odetta beamed at me for the rest of her performance. Needless to say I'll never forget it.
Thank You,my father tells of a similia situation with Sam Cooke when he was on stage wiht the Soul Stirrers.While he was tryingto sing,people were booing,some saying "get offthe stage Blues Singer".Sam never return to Gospel after that.
The adornment of the background vocalists added to the glorification of Jesus; the Lord loves praise from all His children and respects no one individual more than the rest. She was a great singer, as was Ernie Ford..but this was a recording of Ford's TV show and she was a guest and they were his backup vocalists and God approved so that is all that mattered. She blessed us all without having a solo spotlight. May we be blessed by more multiracial praise performances by others in the future!
Good night, Odetta. I am so glad to have seen you perform in the 1970s and then again just last year. You might have been in a wheelchair, but your voice was as amazing as ever.
As I mourn Odetta, this clip also sharply increases my respect for ol' Tennessee Ernie.
I never knew he'd done this. And, given that this looks like it was in the Fifties, he must have taken some major shit from NBC(I think he was still doing his show there at the time)for having her on and singing with him.
Put that together with Tennessee's having sung "Sixteen Tons", during the anti-worker and anti-union late 40's, and he could be a surprising guy at times.
This is just Absolutely beautiful wonderful , rich pure voices,singing together, and to see Odetta sing wiht Ernie Ford is pure joy , thank you for shareing this with us.
During the civil rights movement, music, especially spiritual music, was a great uniter of black and white people. It's message resonated the principles of love and understanding that so many disillusioned folks in both camps were striving to achieve. Music was sometimes the first bridge through which people achieved understanding. The power of the great spiritual songbook is undiminished to this day, and it's wonderful hear this music and be reminded of it's message of grace and perseverance.
for it is he that shall dwell in anrightious places .hold your head up let the world see me in you ,for this is the day that I have made. so my arms is still open and you don't have to pay any tokens.I just need a soilder that when it come my will be spoken. Be Bless .
This woman was an angel, playing at the Gaslight in NYC in the early '70's as we all sang along. I will never forget those phenomenal performances, straight from the heart with so much power to boot. Odetta sang with real meaning, that I have never heard before or since.
Refreshing video and comments... God bless you all...

Values change and are not morals which is what a lot of evangelicals dont seem to get.
Who knows you might.

What do you think Dogma is? If you think it's a random grab-bag of beliefs, then it's not worth saving, but it's NOT!
Dogma is a system of belief espoused by those with life experience. Casting away the knowledge and experience of your forefathers is simply ignorant.
LIFE and FAMILY have developed logically, not randomly, even DARWIN teaches us that random, illogical behavior leads to death, not prosperity.
Christianity makes more sense than most alternatives. Entropy makes no sense at all

YES.
Dogma keeps people in the dark.
I do agree that pop culture can be shallow, but within it ideas are represented and built upon which within the slag heap, shows a progression forward into change which keeps people from being complacent OR dogmatic about things.

beautiful verse,one of my favorite but does not answer my question.
tibiafinger 2 years ago
She had the bad fortune to follow a band, I don't remember who, who was a bit raucous. Some of the audience was a bit restless, and you could tell it was hurting her feelings. Then some teenagers started making noise in the lobby outside by the pay phone, and Odetta was on the verge of tears. I walked out there and shushed them, then came back to my seat. Odetta beamed at me for the rest of her performance. Needless to say I'll never forget it.

Thank You,my father tells of a similia situation with Sam Cooke when he was on stage wiht the Soul Stirrers.While he was tryingto sing,people were booing,some saying "get offthe stage Blues Singer".Sam never return to Gospel after that.

She just died last year. I saw her live and up close in The Bottom Line in Greenwich Village in 1977. A rare voice indeed.

she didn't need the adornment of the chorus in the background. T.E. Ford sounded good though..
jeanneadele 3 years ago
The adornment of the background vocalists added to the glorification of Jesus; the Lord loves praise from all His children and respects no one individual more than the rest. She was a great singer, as was Ernie Ford..but this was a recording of Ford's TV show and she was a guest and they were his backup vocalists and God approved so that is all that mattered. She blessed us all without having a solo spotlight. May we be blessed by more multiracial praise performances by others in the future!

Good night, Odetta. I am so glad to have seen you perform in the 1970s and then again just last year. You might have been in a wheelchair, but your voice was as amazing as ever.

As I mourn Odetta, this clip also sharply increases my respect for ol' Tennessee Ernie.
I never knew he'd done this. And, given that this looks like it was in the Fifties, he must have taken some major shit from NBC(I think he was still doing his show there at the time)for having her on and singing with him.
Put that together with Tennessee's having sung "Sixteen Tons", during the anti-worker and anti-union late 40's, and he could be a surprising guy at times.

During the civil rights movement, music, especially spiritual music, was a great uniter of black and white people. It's message resonated the principles of love and understanding that so many disillusioned folks in both camps were striving to achieve. Music was sometimes the first bridge through which people achieved understanding. The power of the great spiritual songbook is undiminished to this day, and it's wonderful hear this music and be reminded of it's message of grace and perseverance.

This woman was an angel, playing at the Gaslight in NYC in the early '70's as we all sang along. I will never forget those phenomenal performances, straight from the heart with so much power to boot. Odetta sang with real meaning, that I have never heard before or since.
