Look at the saints! Richard Smallwood, Walter Hawkins, Dorothy Norwood and so many more! I love when she get happy @3:27 and @2:10 THEM KEYS!!! YES! I sure love me some old school!!
Reminds me of my grandmother during the time she was teaching me to play piano for the church,this was one of her favorite song,though I still play for churches it's just not the same anymore, we use to rock the church with praise and songs,now with the adjustments that I had to make with my music to be contemporary it lost a lot in translation.
My, Sister Coates could sing! I'm a sixty-five year old white boy who used to scoff at such Spirit-filled singing, but the better I know my Master the more I long to join in with heart-felt music. There is indeed a place for emotion in worshiping our infinite, self-existent, loving God.
My God, my God, she sang this song. I just discovered this video and it has become part of my of my morning devotion. This is the kind of Holy Ghost spirit we need in our churches and homes. Then we will hear from heaven then our children and people will be saved. leah108ful
Ms. Mildred Howard still sounds good. I was looking at an older video where she was singing a part with Dorothy Love Coates and the rest of The Harmonettes. The song entitled "Every Day Will Be Sunday" and you could tell then The Spirit was in her. This is so great :)
I go to one of those fancy-pants megachurches where the lyrics to songs are on powerpoint projection screens. Its a great church, but just ONCE I would love for them to whip out a hymn like this. We dont need any lyrics; wouldn't need any instruments either..our hands and feet made the music. Old time religion, don't be scared to take it back!
One of my mom's favorite songs. I sang it at her home-going service two weeks ago. She sang it a little bit differently. Still it means a lot to me. It takes me back to the 50's and 60's
This is true gospel music----no pretending and shining glory on the singer. Everytime I see this, I want to shout. This is the kind of music I knew as a child. Praise God for our pioneers of good old gospel music.
I listen and watch this video everyday. It has become one of my favorite. The music just stirs my soul. What a great group of musicians.I like Bill Gaithers singers but they don't have anything on this great , Relevant and historic group. Billy Preston one of my all time favorite singers, I was always impressed with his keyboard talents as a child. Wonderful
Thanks so much for re-posting this video! It had become part of my morning routine then it disappeared from Youtube and I was SICK! I was a kid growing up in the Arkansas Delta (Pine Bluff) & we used to SANG this song! Every time you would sing it you always knew that the congregation was gonna sing that chorus at least 20 times!!!! I never knew anything about Dorothy Love Coates and the Harmonettes or where this song came from but this video gave me a BIG education! This is just awesome!
Now this is real gospel singing....feeling what you are singing and not just singing for show. She was feeling the holy spirt. Also, you can tell that she lived every word that flowed out of her mouth....God Bless Her Soul!! I know Sis. Howard is singing in that Heavenly Chior:)
Mildred Howard waws my favorite gospel singer. I had the chance to meet her and know here. She was "the lady of gospel." Unpretenous, sincrfe, honest and all the qualities one would expect of a pioneer in gospel.
This Past Summer While I Was On Vacation In NC @ My Grandma Church Goshen Disciples Church In Faison,NC Sis Fannie Rae Merritt Sang This Song!!!You Must Have That Fire & Holy Ghost, That Burning Churning Keeps The Prayer Wheel Turning,That Kind Of Religion You Cannot Conceal,It Makes You Move,Makes You Shout,Makes You Cry When It's Real.Keep Your Hand Right In The Windin' Chain,My Souls Been Anchored In My Jesus' Name,I'm Filled Within,I've Free From Sin, Lord You Know I've been Born Again!
I'm skeptically about religion and If God is really real, but I can see the role the church and singing played in the lives of people. Bringing a sense of community and believing in something bigger than themselves which brought hope and joy. Now that is completely awesome.
many sing but if i may say these ladies are (sanging) its not the same you must allow the holy ghost to take over and like The song says it will make you move thank you for this post God Bless
You must have that fire & Holy Ghost, That Burning churning keeps the prayer wheel turning; That kind of religion you cannot conceal, It makes you move, makes you shout, Makes you cry when it's real. Keep your hand right in the windin' chain, My souls been anchored in my Jesus' name, I'm filled within, I've free from sin, Lord You know I've been born again.
Lord have mercy...where you get this from I have been looking for it so loong. today sitting at home I have stumbled on it......You go and be blessed anyone who knows about the good old songs knows this. Thanks for this.....
Praise God for Sis Howard, He took a jewel but left us with a blessing and a powerful message! I love this song and watching the video is even more inspirational. I watch it everyday at least twice! Thank you Jesus!!!!!
I see Billy Preston released the organ...I guess this was out of ihs league. That's ok...He is still the star of the Organ!! Wonderful presentation. I see James Bignon in here and would love to hear something new from him....He is the James Cleveland duplicate.
Thank you for posting this video, it is a Blessing for all to watch and hear........ Somebody Say AMEN.................. These ladies are an inspiration for all.
Amen Amen Amen...So glad to have experienced the spirit..My life has never been the same..Folks look at us like were off, especially at Church, but they just don't know what their missing. I pray everyone of Gods children experience this unspeakable joyous feeling, makes you wanna dance, shout, and cry at the same time.. God Bless
This group is THE TRUTH! We grew up listening to these ladies thrash these songs to bits!! We had pretend church services with these recordings. We'd take turns bein the preacher, singers, and covering each other up with cloths after we fell in the floor. More than one of us had real experiences with the Lord playing church. My brother got the Holy Ghost in the basement playing church.
Evelyn Hardy, you better play that piano girl!! ! ! ! Let the Lord use you. That's called "GIFITING"! What a blessing to go back and hear those old gospel favorites. The Gospel Harmonettes. None can compare.
You must have that fire & Holy Ghost, That Burning churning keeps the prayer wheel turning; That kind of religion you cannot conceal, It makes you move, makes you shout, Makes you cry when it's real. Keep your hand right in the windin' chain, My souls been anchored in my Jesus' name, I'm filled within, I've free from sin, Lord You know I've been born again.
Wish I'd been there. Looks like a damn good time they're having. Brian Eno identified the reason he likes Gospel music: because each song offers hope. I can go along with that.
Wow! LOVED this! Came across this looking for a song called "God's Got Everything You Need" or "He's Got Everything You Need". Regardless, I'm glad I discovered this gem. Truly gospel that "stirs your soul"! Thanx for posting.
I must say i love watching Ms. Mildred sing this song..i can't go a day without hearing this song..may u continue to rest in the arms of the angels til that great getting up morning!!!
I can't stop watching this......I can see the Light of our Lord shine on her face and feel the power of the Holy Ghost in her words........a true inspiration .......RIP Mildred, you have gone to your reward !!!
RIP.. There are few times when God sends those that inspire us to be better and can bring us to tears.. This woman did so for so many years.. God Thank You for this..
@birdmark100 I know the soloist, Mrs M. Howard, passed away. I'm not sure who the other two ladies are. The guy on the organ is Hubert Pickard. He is still living and playing as well. The lady on the piano is my Good friend Evelyn Hardy. I'm headed to eat lunch with her today. She is doing wonderful. Still drives and plays the keys off the piano on Sundays. You can find her any given Sunday @ The Sixth Ave. Baptist Church, Birmingham, Alabama.
Sadly Mildred Howard went home to the Lord on July 12, 2009, She came up with the idea for the Gospel Harmonettes formed in the early 1940s & disbanded in 1977. One of the first all-women gospel singing groups to sign a national recording contract, the Harmonettes were fronted by Dorothy Love Coates (passed away in 2002) and toured the country for more than three decades. Their legacy lives on as Dorothy & Mildred's songs are still sung in churches around the World today
45 years ago as a 15 year old, attended church in Concord Sydney Australia following the passing of my Mother. That night our choir sang The Lord's Prayer and my body shivered - In 1993 I made a hurried trip to Washington DC to say goodbye to my only Brother and as I drove to his home from Dulles airport I heard Mildred singing on the radio and had that same enlightening feeling . Tonight it has rained down on me again. God bless Mildred and Billy - the meek shall inherit the Earth
Sadly Mildred Howard, of the Original Gospel Harmonettes of Birmingham, went home to the Lord Sunday July 12, 2009 in Cincinnati, OH., where she lived for approx 5 years. Services were held for her at Trinity Baptist Church, Birmingham, AL where she served as Director of the Mass Choir. for many years. Pianist Evelyn Hardy is the last surviving member of the original Harmonettes.
My Prayers are extended to the family of Mildred Howard. I Thank God for sharing her talent with us! You could feel deeply her genuine love that she had for Christ when she ministered in song.
I thought I've heard this song before and it hit me; I've heard Minister Prince Yelder redo it; both versions are great, but I'm more of a(n) old soul... so this one took me in just a lil bit!!!!
this grandma is so cute.Hehe,they are so special,and yes if yxou´re young or old,everybody can praise the lord.Just as you are.Some blesses to all of you
its baptist. i was raised baptist and though worship is worship no matter what denomination you are, it would definitely take some getting used to in terms of praising Him any other way.
It's Holy Ghost singing, be it baptist or what have you. It's blood washed singing. It's living water singing. It's bread of heaven singing! It's burden lifting singing! But, yes.. it's the way of the old black baptist churches... and, yes, we have the fire in us too...
At home having church this morning! Did Sister Mildred bring it home. The pianist, she was knocking it out . . . Lawd! Check out some of the familiar faces in the video, too.
This is my first time seeing/watching this video, and they were ALL tearin that song up. The woman hitting those high notes betta go 'head!!!! and to the other woman on the piano!!!!! LAWD!!!!!!
SHE BETTER WORK HER FINGERS AND THAT PIANOOOOOOOO!!!!! LAWD, let me shut up 'fo i break this computer desk down with a shout.
Who is the sister at 40 seconds to the left with the purple suit and silver hair. I've seen her somewhere before, but I don't know where. Is this a Church of God in Christ event? My mother used to take us to these events back in the 60s. We were the only white folks in the audience and Jewish. Everyone knew who we were and and made us feel welcome, and we just glowed in what everyone else was glowing in. Afterwards, I used to secretly listened to their Sunday services on the radio:)
because of this clip i'm subscribing to your channel. my mom used to play this song when i was a child, i'm like the poster above, i never knew all the words just sang what i thought, got most of it right. this song brings on so much emotion and meaning now hearing it as an adult.
gospel music you dont here like this any more were has the real gospel music went that touch peoples soul I thank god for these great legends to god be the glory they has been a great inspiration to my life may god bless them all.
No, Dorothy didn't make this session. She had become somewhat of a recluse. There is a documentary on her life "Still Holding On" which air nationally on PBS. It won an Emmy as best documentary about five years ago.
I'm sorry if I caused any confusion, but I believe I finally have this lineup correct. Mildred Miller Howard on Lead, backing (from l-r) Odessa Edwards (contralto), Willie Mae Newberry(contralto) and Vera Kalb (soprano). Evelyn Starks Hardy on piano. All of the members shown here are original members of the Original Gospel Harmonettes. Someone's question about Cleo Kennedy's absence left me uncertain, so I did some further research. Oh what a beautiful time this must've been!
Look at the saints! Richard Smallwood, Walter Hawkins, Dorothy Norwood and so many more! I love when she get happy @3:27 and @2:10 THEM KEYS!!! YES! I sure love me some old school!!

My Prayers are extended to the family of Mildred Howard. I Thank God for sharing her talent with us! You could feel deeply her genuine love that she had for Christ when she ministered in song.

I thought I've heard this song before and it hit me; I've heard Minister Prince Yelder redo it; both versions are great, but I'm more of a(n) old soul... so this one took me in just a lil bit!!!!

What sector of Christianity is this? Baptist? Presbyterian? Evangelic?
I LOVE this way of praising god. I have always wanted to attend a congregation like this.
sasylatin 2 years ago 3
its baptist. i was raised baptist and though worship is worship no matter what denomination you are, it would definitely take some getting used to in terms of praising Him any other way.
JaeBabi89 2 years ago 3
It's Holy Ghost singing, be it baptist or what have you. It's blood washed singing. It's living water singing. It's bread of heaven singing! It's burden lifting singing! But, yes.. it's the way of the old black baptist churches... and, yes, we have the fire in us too...

Who is the sister at 40 seconds to the left with the purple suit and silver hair. I've seen her somewhere before, but I don't know where. Is this a Church of God in Christ event? My mother used to take us to these events back in the 60s. We were the only white folks in the audience and Jewish. Everyone knew who we were and and made us feel welcome, and we just glowed in what everyone else was glowing in. Afterwards, I used to secretly listened to their Sunday services on the radio:)

Is that DOROTHY LOVE-COATS at 4:59?
tallbaby40 3 years ago
No, Dorothy didn't make this session. She had become somewhat of a recluse. There is a documentary on her life "Still Holding On" which air nationally on PBS. It won an Emmy as best documentary about five years ago.

I'm sorry if I caused any confusion, but I believe I finally have this lineup correct. Mildred Miller Howard on Lead, backing (from l-r) Odessa Edwards (contralto), Willie Mae Newberry(contralto) and Vera Kalb (soprano). Evelyn Starks Hardy on piano. All of the members shown here are original members of the Original Gospel Harmonettes. Someone's question about Cleo Kennedy's absence left me uncertain, so I did some further research. Oh what a beautiful time this must've been!
