[musiqpassionful]

Wow

[andreapizzo1977]

Incredible!

[44yavet]

Share this with all you love and know.

[44yavet]

How can anyone deny the creator, Jehovah God, after listening to this!! He is a mighty, mighty: God, Savior, King - Everything!!! I love Him so much. He is my life. I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, not ashamed to let the whole world know how much I adore and love him.

[44yavet]

I love to here her sing this song over anything she has ever done

[44yavet]

Halellujiah!!!!

[iluvrachellef]

Rachelle is one of a few singers that can get with Karen Clark Sheard.Yall need to check out Rachelle's song called NOTHING IN THE MIDDLE umph umph umph,nobody can touch her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RevSmokey1]

This is a vocal instument of astoninshing ability & anointing! Wish she were in this genre more often...or maybe I've just been missing out.

[barbaraa1949]

Listening to this ...Tthe chills are just moving up and down my entire body......Such an anointed singer........Great God !!!!!!!!

[poubrejr]

Thank you for the upload; I'm playing this in memory of my "

"ma ma" my grandmother who passed away yesterday at age of 100 yrs old.

[sparkliebabie]

Beautiful. Blessed.

[inflinc]

OMG i love it!!!

[tiniri11]

6:26-6:31 my God!!!!

[TheArthur0912]

When Ms. Ferrell sings, she sings from the sould and you ever saw her facial expressions; you would know that she a'int try to be cute with it! Great talent .......

[Psalms11817]

i'm waiting for the day this sister comes on a major show and blows everyone away. This sister can carry her own so why do they keep putting others when does a tribute, like Anita Baker's. All the guy that was with her did was blocked what could have been an awsome performance. At the same time one of Rachell's finest hour was when she sang "America The Beautiful" without music. She touch the depths of your soul and at the same time made you proud be an American. Look it up, it's on here

[mascotinc]

Amazzzzzazing!

[Shakey8275]

And for the 3 dislikes....they should be put on a cross. Any takers?

[idancemylife24]

She's a BEAST!!!! Love her!!!!! I'm speechless.... simply in awe of this woman!!!

[MsGreenmickey]

Rachelle is one bad sista! Every now and then, we need to take a seat at the foot of the cross and remember that it was His blood that was shed for us all....you'll find rest there.

[rickrickc219]

I agree, Mariah Carey better wish she had a voice so pure/excellent. This woman is a TRUE singer, getting her praises from her "instrument/voice" as opposed to garnering fame by some 2 hook-line melody with tons of hips gyrations!!!! As I said, Mariah better WISH!!!!!

[darrenandbutterfly]

is there a video to this song? does anyone know where she sang this?

[wtommy1]

@darrenandbutterfly ...I actually have the recording of this performance on VHS...booo!! This was recorded at the BET studio in Washington, DC before 1999. I wish I knew how to upload.

[losingmagame]

@wtommy1 OMG, upload it please somehow! There are USB-cables to buy if you wish to send the VHS into the computer.

[44yavet]

@losingmagame You can get this video on your computer. Visit keepvid.com for instructions. I did it and it does work great!

[WaterClose123]

rachelle just took 139,375 people to church

[sactownboss]

@girlmusician24, sorry i was one of the people who disliked it....hit the wrong button lol

[inemcik]

Jesus!

[girlmusician24]

Ok. The Two ppl who disliked this video must not have been going through anything. Therefor they need to be slapped cause she is just raw!!!!

[sactownboss]

ughhhhhhh that was just nasty!!!! this performance gave me chills all over. it was just plain nasty. i really want to see her in concert one day...

[ipleadtheblood1]

Rachelle Ferrell is better known in the jazz circuit. I've been her fan since the early nineties. By the way, she also plays guitar in addition to keyboards, piano, etc. Listen to her song Sentimental and the duet with Wil Downing.

[qsammuels]

Hands Lifted and Praising God!!!

[petealk12]

WOW!!!!!!!

[akilamixon]

Healing....

[ob2be]

@lawguy310 you're a little late......I had never heard of the women prior to coming across this video so I didn't know she was a pianist. But sophisticated1920 corrected me

[napphedprncss]

Rachelle Ferrell can sing ANYTHING! wow

[ob2be]

Is she an R&B artist? Home girl has a definite gift and I was feeling whoever that was on the keys.

[sophisticated1920]

@ob2be She is on the keys...She's a pianist, organist, & superb vocalist...

[ob2be]

@sophisticated1920 I found that out after I googled her, ever since I heard this home girl's albums have been getting heavy rotation on my mp3 lol. It's a shame but I guess its true, the more pure your talent the less discovered you are. (which I guess is a blessing and a cursing

[sophisticated1920]

@ob2be I agree! My first time hearing her was in 2010...I was mad at myself for not knowing who she was! But Im glad I got her on my rotation now! LOL

[lawguy310]

@ob2be please tell me you're kidding with that comment. That was her both playing and singing at the same time. (smile) Rachelle is a seriously bad, bad sister girl.

[rodneyp08]

Rachelle is formally trained... Mariah isn't thats why there is a big difference in their voices ! Both are spectacular at what they do with similar ranges but a different approach to the technique

[steviemholden1]

@rodneyp08 agreed

[44yavet]

@rodneyp08 God can do anything formally trained or not.

[rodneyp08]

@44yavet who said he couldnt ? God gave both their gifts no doubt about it

[tammymerriweather1]

All I can say is Amen, you are truely Amazing in everything you do. You inspire so many people around the world with your music.

[tblade92]

[tarshascott]

[kaos0802]

É simplesmente a mensagem que um pecador como eu precisava ouvir para se redimir com o Pai....Mantenha perto da cruz Senhor. Sempre, sempre e para sempre. Amém!

[nakedheadproductions]

[PoetryMartyr]

Makes me going to cry.

[1319second3771]

[PoetryMartyr]

@1319second3771 AMEN

[Ancestratos]

[chocohottie34]

She playing the hell out of that piano too!!!!

[darlingone1000]

@chocohottie34 aint she though ! and sang the shit out of that song too.

[RAWKEE]

@darlingone1000 such profanity...... lol itz jst so funny bcz ths is a gospel song and stuff. ur timing was real bad.. but funny none the less. lol

[onlychildofclaudes]

I think that she hangs more in the light jazz sections of the concerts. She's featured in places like Montreaux Jazz Festival, and the other jazz festivals in the islands. I'd love to see her in concert--and I'd love to talk to her.

[rickames]

Awesome, I would luv for some artist feature her in their movies so she can be exposed. Awesome, had the old school of gospel that's almost extint today!

[balladtree]

Brought me to tears!

[rickames]

If you are refering to Mariah Carey, she's not if Rachelle's class by a LONG SHOT!!!

[wepimpha]

@rickames Mariah who? Whenit comes to this woamn she does things to a song that Mariah, mind youy she's good but in comparison well you knoqw!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rickames]

@wepimpha I'm sorry i can't comprehend on what you were trying to say on your post.

[Crnbred75]

@wepimpha Mariah is no competiton for the seasoning you hear here!!!

[Crnbred75]

@wepimpha Mariah is no competition for the seasoning you hear here!!!

[omeirdeleon]

@rickames I am the BIGGEST Mariah fan and I agree with you. Rachelle is in a class by herself.

[cquillen]

A Gift from GOD......

[Mimilatoine]

AMEN again!

[erdine1]

AMEN

[bbocelli]

Baby set it off, because you got it like that, outstanding

[blaine30001]

Wow, great old church song. Oh how we need Jesus to keep us near the cross.

[rogersjc8]

[auset1972]

[edisgripz]

lol

[starzyeir]

Beautiful

[okebaram]

She betta sang that super soprano and sing that awesome prayer!

[SHARRAH2008]

7:32 she spins the notes to a perfect ending.

I see silver and gold spirals with diamond encrusted tips.

BRAVISSIMA!

[YogiBearCrab03]

She SANG that song!!! LORD...thank you for the cross and the blood of Jesus!!!

[edisgripz]

Yes, He's Worthy to be Praised.

[saduce2]

She is great i love her music. can't wait for new album????

[TheBLKMadonna]

Oh by the way, I call her Rochelle, but I know that the correct spelling Rachelle, so it is what it is, No matter what the spelling she is still one of the Best!!!!

[TheBLKMadonna]

Thank you for posting this I LOVE it and I play it when I find myself needing to have hope, Rochelle, keep being who you are!!!! No matter what!!!! I really love you and your music, Greatness is often time unrecognized but you are one of the GREAT!!!!!

[honie41]

Sista girl took me back home to NC

[kaimah2104]

3:54-4:00...WOW!!!

[khoirdirector]

6:30 -6:35, Are you kidding me? Shut your mouth Maria Carey!! LOL

[251progression]

indeed. Oh my gosh

[shay021s]

my god my god master my god

[brobin4sho]

sometimes you need to hear some good gospel to get you thru the day...Jesus is my salvation

[datsweetsoulmuzik]

sang sista!

[qquaakkerr]

does anyone know where you can find this on cd gentlespirit77

[kinggmj]

I wish it was on cd!!!!

[SCOOCHES0]

Jesus is the only way, if u are guided in another direction, you have a hard road to travel! No one can do for you like JESUS!!

[vidaluz825]

Happy Easter, thank you Jesus for "Keeping me Near the Cross". Rachel took me there at 4:26am Easter Sunday Morning. Rachel and the late Frank Williams both have renditions that touch the soul. She is the best and He is the best at making you feel God.

[bbym08]

WOW!!

[HAWK508]

THIS REALLY TOUCHED ME

[morralo]

i dont believe in god but this is divine!

[lionsome]

try believing in God,and then listen to this...you will cry! nothing compares to what Jesus did on the cross!

[morralo]

if god exist is not the catholic one

[lionsome]

forget catholic.try Jesus,who died for you

[philburrell]

that;s an aximoron.

[bennlive]

you fool

[morralo]

you fanatic

[tall0362]

I never understand it when men make this statement that they dont believe in God.....This is absolutely for certian a lie. Rejecting God is not the not believeing in God. You KNOW God exhist...you simply have no interest in him or respect for him. Only a fool says in his heart that there is no God! But your intellectual mind knows he is there.....And you will have to recon with him one day. You will loose, and that loss will be unbearable. U dont want to pick a fight with God. He da wrong one!!

[30Silas]

EXCELLENTLY put!

[balladtree]

that note towards the end was amazing among other things!

[20caratstone]

YES! UN-believable!  It's at 6:36-8

[ta89fr]

Rachelle has certain simularities to the great, late Nina Simone... her sound is different but the uniqueness of her delivery is there and is especially distinct (all her own) just like Nina...True Talent is under-rated

[khamikins]

well said. simply completely

[iluvrachellef]

Hey friends dont forget that she is playin the hell outta that piano while sangin,let me see mariah or alicia do dat.NOT!

[ninetiesbaby10]

alicia does play the piano while singing...Fereell is an excellent singer and performer...famour but underrated
