  • The Rock Church in Birmingham al....has a great version of this song!!!!

  • Ricky is droppin it low!!! Haha if i could direct half as good as this man, i think i'd be alright :-)

  • If that nigga Ricky Dillard can't do nothing he can direct a choir.

  • Clowned it.....

  • This is myfavorite choir diretor in the world. to me. i love this song and how they hadle it..

  • rick is just good!!

  • i love Rickey dillard. i remember bck in the day, it was hard to find his C.D's but now! it isnt

  • SICKENING SOPRANOS! yeas fr the switch @2:17

  • okay so they at cathedral of praise! nash, tn

  • That directing that choir, that don't even make no sense, that's awesome!!!!!

  • What I like about Ricky Dillard is that he's not afraid to his music back to the Old School sound. Alot of Gospel artist today are doing the R&B and Hip Hop style of Gospel which is wonderful, I like diversity. And they do slow paced churchy songs which get you in the Spirit also, but it seems like their afraid to do fast paced Gospel songs like the kind Ricky Dillard does with that traditional flavor to it. That's what makes you dance before The Lord.

  • lol they was clowning including ricky dillard itz probally about 5 young ppl in the adult choir at my church me (12) and my 14 year old big sis but we act a foul Ricky dillrd betta gonna head LPMBC

  • wow they praised his name!!!

  • they killed it at the end man the devil super mad

  • This is sounds..the altos could of been louder....the tenors and sopranos was very loud...

  • Serious question (and this is NOT about Ricky Dillard at all): What is wrong with these community choirs out here? There's no more ministry in the music!!! It's all about cliques, and what dude the gay director can try to get at!!!! And Christians always wanna ask what is wrong with the world. " If those who are called by name......." Hmm. If you're offended, that aint my problem. Sorry, i just had to vent.

  • carnell davis know he had that tambourine beating!!!!

  • I was there when they did this...They stompped!!!!! Yes!!!!

  • WOW!

  • you better direct that choir boy!!!

  • James Hall did'nt come out with "A Version" baby...HE WROTE THE SONG!!! It's his song!!

  • they aint playing bring back old memories of this song

  • that my aunt artie&&my mama in tha tenor section blowin&&yes she tha only lady tenor

  • man they were really barking in this video, just a dogone beast!

  • check out Mozart quartet no 2 in D major. These kids give me hope for the next generation. You will be blessed.

  • Geeeez!..da Soprano's are killing us!!!

  • pitch 4 dayz,diction 4 dayz,blend 4 dayz,control 4 dayz,only RICKY D...AMEN

  • u c artie'z armz swingin in the back row in da alto section

  • thay were barking hard. i mean i didint even sound like joy anymore. awesome sound. how do you teach that?

  • lol. yeah i was wondering wat they were saying...lol

  • Hes the best,lol..

  • This song is way too short. I first heard it from their first project. I wore that cassette out. I replaced it twice.

  • LOL @ the replacement of the Cassette...funny

  • :-D. Thanks

  • OMG, I so learned this off his Halleujah CD and taught my choir...I love it, I'm a Ricky Dillard Fan.....

    To Comment on GAred1976: I think that Ricky has great vocal leads, such as Nikie Ross, Robin( who has been with Ricky for Years) and Elisha, just to name a few, even Sean "puffy" combs was an awesome director and soloist ....so don't knock Ricky for that....I think that he is an awesome man of God. Hey, maybe if you think you can do better, give him a call. I have his number ...:)

  • The only problem that I have always had with Ricky is that he never has been able to have any good leaders for his some to push them. I want to say the best cd that he had that was overall great was "Hallelujah". He actually had a lot of good leaders for that. Hezekiah Walker and LFC is the standard of not only having great songs, but leaders to push those songs. Ricky really needs to get some good vocal leaders to push his songs.

  • dont know what planet you been on...or what u been smoking!!!!! And BTW Hallelujah was def not the best album...u better pull out Worked it out, then No limit, Unplugged and finally the 7th episode...LEAD VOCALS FOR DAYZ!

  • I promise this is one of THEE BEST choirs ever of our time.

  • It makes no good sense for them to sing like that, none at all i love ricky and his choir they just STUPID and i mean that in a good way

  • Yawl better BARK!

  • RIGHT! I'm over here hollerin!  I know my neighbors think I'm CRAZY! LOL

  • YAHS YAHS YAHS! (yes yes yes) THOSE SOPRANOS WERE SQUALING! LORD HAVE MERCY!

  • YALL BETTA SANG..RICKY BAD!!!

  • OK, Is this New G, or HOPE Cathedral out of Atlanta.... They sound just the same. I know Ricky is apart of that Church also.

  • New G

  • @tkj1985 Naw... They don't sound the same!!!

  • does anyone know what cd has this song on it?

  • New G's very first CD called "The Promise". Thinking about it, they did it again on the "Hallelujah" CD but ONLY on the video NOT on the cd/cassette.

  • SANG!!!!!!!!!!

  • what the heck drummer?

  • I was saying the exact same thing.  Why does it sound like the song keeps slowing down.

    The section where they go "JOY, JOY, JOY" isn't as great when it's slowed down.

  • go head i den started to shout and everything alright now my choir dont even sing it this good go head

  • CLASSIC!

  • alright alright now go head

  • First let me say, Ricky Dillard is greatly missed in Chicago. NO CHOIR SOUNDS LIKE HIS!!! Theres a very distinct sound his choir has. He lead a workshop of college choirs in Illinois one year, and Ricky Dillard is a straight clown!!! He was fun and anointed too. I just have one question...Why dont bass/baritones EVER get any props in a black church choir??????? Its kind of annoying. I cant sing as high, but I can sing and have a nice voice. We rarely get recognized in rehearsals and all.

  • When Rev. James Cleveland came into prominence back in the 60s and 70s he liked the treble sound of the three part harmony so much that he eventually just cut out the bass/baritone section all together. after that everyone else followed his example, and now most choirs only have three part harmony.

  • Wow, I never knew that! Thanks for sharing.

    dex (zm)

  • Lemme correct you there...actually the person responsible for the current three part harmony that you hear no and also the first person to record a gospel choir was Dr. Mattie Moss Clark...

  • Really? I thought she was the one responsible for splitting up sections in the middle of the songs?I guess i need to go back read that history book one more time lol.

  • That makes sense very much though, because it really opened the music up. Where your bass used to be sort of static, it created space for the bass players to let loose. Technically, gospel bass players really have James to thank for allowing them to develop their craft to the point it is today.

  • Comment removed

  • Whats up Verzuane?? This is sooo funny. I sang with you guys back in either 98 or 99. Very short stint. I had to return to school. Hows verzell, vicky and the rest? Is David still a fool? LOL

  • SING SOPRANOS!!! O YES!!!

  • Ricky is a beast. my God

  • As my grandmomma would say, "go head on choiaa!"

  • you betta direct that choir boy LOL!!!!!!! I love this song

  • OKAAAY!

  • Ricky Dillard has kept real choir music around and has not changed it at all. Thank God for him and his talents. Another real choir they are not new on the scene is Dexter Walker and Zion Movement. They are definitely doing their thing. I'm not taking anything from Choir Master Dillard my hat is off to you. I have every New Generation CD.

  • AMEN!!!!!!!!THE BEST CHOIR!!!!

  • Best choir around now! choir music is where it's at!!!

  • that soprano section....whoooo

  • Please bring back the real choirs

  • Amen!

    dex (zm)

  • This may be the closest thing to choir perfection on youtube. New G is amazing. I think we can all agree to that one. Just crazy!

  • dude dont even respond to none of their crazy stuff...yall keep doing what u do for jesus...everthing will manifest in due season!

  • this is my favorite song from when i was a little kid.

  • rick is crazy

  • which album is this off of.

  • the first album. "The Promise"

  • My soprano and tenor section be on it! They play too much!

  • Whew!!!! That last part was bananas!!!!!

  • Im not taking nething 4rm New G, cause they have been around for about 30 yrs I think, but I still prefer WAP singing!!

  • actually bothchoirs have been around for about the same timme.new g was founded in 1988.but both choirs are amazing!

  • i just threw a boot up there!

  • yes to them altos

  • this dude is insanely talented!

  • Brother Dillard is quite the character and gospel genius isn't he?

  • **slaP** SOPRANOS SANGG!!

Yall are really tearing me up!!!!  JUST WONDERFUL!!!!!

  • they sound nice and i whisht i could sing with them

  • wow this is wild dont forget u r n church!!!

  • Praise comes from within... So how can you tell someone how to offer it to God? Just to let you know the version of the break-down was actually arranged by Malcolm Williams. He use to make us do that back in '96

  • wateva!!!u probaly old anyway go back 2 playing your bingo old !!

  • No I'm not love, its just that YOUR YOUNG! Now stay in a child's place and get some structure about ya self... I'm 24 LITTLE GIRL

    play wit me You Need 2 get ur life right cause god is on his way!!!

  • TAMBORINES!!! THANK YA!!!!

  • I haven't heard a choir sing this song since 1993!

  • And agian,It iz Proven: Ricky iz the Baddest Choir Director,On Earth! Luv it.............

  • now you know i know what you mean, i try to tell these people ricky d and new g are the best whos ever done it. it doesnt get any better than this. and no one can discredit that fact. if anyone can find a more annointed, mor powerful group of singers on earth please show me. it doesnt get better than these people.

  • james hall wap

  • listen, james hall and wap can sing too. but their voice quality could be worked at. new g has developed a sound so professional it would be literally impossible to find a choir to match that. new g aint new to the game they're tru to the game, been in it for over 30 years so how can u put jh and wap in the same category? to each his own, may God bless and keep you

  • wow...thats deep...I never heard of a gospel choirologist such as yourself !!!!

  • I agree with lordvadert49, IMO Worship and Praise harmony is more blended when they sing especially on songs like Hide me, we'll overcome, Great is our God, the blood...but like thehighlyfe said to each his own, both choirs are at the top of the choir list!!

  • Lemme clear this one... I dunno if you have listened but NEW G has been consistent threw all 7 albums! James Hall & WAP aint even start sounding good on their cd's until their fourth album...if u dont believe just listen the that first and second album. But New G on the other hand cam out screamn with vibrato and color before it was popular and startn with their very first album!!! Not to mention just take a look at the billboards... James and WAP didnt even make it!  so Now...

  • WAP didn't start sounding good till there 4th album?? funny!!LOL

  • EXACTLY! Why dont you pull out all your WAP cds and NEW G cds... listen to WAPs first and Listen to New G's first and do this for each cd each artist has in comparison and listen to the vocal quality and even production quality! Baby... NEw G was screaming before James and WAP were ever able to discover their own idenity! Even now they are too busy bn dressed up and shady while New G is killn the charts and shutn down shows! U listen for yaself...

  • dont call me baby

    and again that is YOUR opinion based on YOUR preference, others may agree others may not like me, but im not about to debate over a personal preference...I thought this was about singing not clothes and personality, cause if that were the case we could be asking why Ricky dresses in pink and drops it like it's hot, now that's shady...but dressing and charts have NOTHING to do with singing, and last time I checked neither of them are platinum or even gold selling artist!!

  • Well im sorry...Im just a country girl and figured that I was talkn to a MAN...thats y I said baby...but I guess I was wrong...so with that bn said I digress!

  • oh I thought u was a dude...my bad

  • you are so right. at first i was going to reply to snoopyco07 because any one who thinks rick and new g arent platinum recording artists, needs to really be examined medically because either they have a learning deficiency or has lost their hearing capacity. but when i saw your comment the words i wanted to say were taken right out of my mouth. new g and wap dont even compare, rick and new g are in a class all by themselves; professionalism,vocal and blending quality r out of this world...

  • My sentiments exactly! Even if we took to live performances... New G delivers everytime...WAP is quite boring to watch actually. But I dont expect ole boy to see quality when obviously he cant even hear quality! LOL And dont get me wrong I love WAP take nuthin from them... but they aint no NEW G!!!!

  • New G has sold a million records??? hmmmm that's wat platinum selling artist means, and the only gospel artist I recall selling that many are Kirk,Mary Mary, Yolanda, Donnie, and mayb Bebe and Cece

  • Christ's Blessings and Peace to you my brother

  • im wondering what new songs and vocal twists New G will be using on their 8th album, i sometimes wonder;how can they get any better? but with every album they sound more professional than ever and it really amazes me; truth be told: Ricky Dillard and The New Generation Chorale cannot release an album that im not nearly tearing my automobile to get to the store and purchase, i bought two copies of the last one along with a third deluxe cd/dvd $110.00 easily and gratefully and cheerfully spent.w/b

  • I agree...itsa great feeln when you purchase a cd and u actually enjoy it...rather than buying one and totally being disappointed.I can truly say New G always puts out church appropriate music, that is exciting packed with energy and executed at its best! I've never known them to put out songs that u almost need the musical score or some kind of manual to figure out what they are singing...LOL (cough cough) Have u checked out his protege' Patrick Riddick? Hes gonna be a force as well!!!

  • I HAVE!!!! It wasn't a pleasant experience either! They sing FLAT and wobbly! They sing great songs tho!

  • Not at all!

  • I think New G is probably the best choir in America right now. I havent ALWAYS thought so but now it is evident unless there is a choir around that I din't know about. I do remember though when James Hall used to travel with 2 sopranos a few tenors and a few altos and CRUSH! I havent seen or heard them in a minute but if I had to judge ONLY from the youtube clips i would have to agree that new G is doing the better singing right now.

  • Im sorry but we only mentioned Patrick's name because everyone knows that He is Ricky's protege'. He was not mentioned as if him and his choir are perfect...lasttime I checked they are still developing...so for u to bash them and this clip isnt about them is kinda green on your part. Me myself Im expecting great things out of Patrick and his choir because he has the greatest mentor that one could possibly have!

  • Subsequently if you thought bad mouthing him would bring him down you only helped him!!! "thehighlyfe" and "snoopyc07" I guess we better debate in private cuz this has gone to a whole notha level about a choir das not even on here to defend themselves...

  • Lastly...It sounds like you needed to have a conversation with "Armythug" or whoever, because being messy on a comments section wont solve anything... and you actually thought that someone would recieve YOUR criticsm of another choirs ministry and you are cursing on a Gospel Choir clip?!?! It shows already how simple your thinking is... Im sure that if you have the skill to analyze a choirs musicality then u shuda been able to analyze your LIMITED VOCABULARY! God Bless!

  • AND mam..... that is a quote FROM armythug TO me! I wasnt cursing at anyone.. please excuse me if i offended ANY of u!

  • It's Okay!! Ladies and Gentlemen as a member of New G and a personal friend of Professor James Hall, I'm sure both men and their choirs appreciate the thought...but I can assure you that nither are concerned with competing against each other...They have the highest musical respect for each other I ASSURE YOU! We make things that are not important to the actual artist important amongst ourselves... Yall we gotta stop falln out over trivial stuff! When we act this way we down play gospel badly.

  • In regards to myself and Dvyne Worship...thanks for the comments! That just means that we got alot more work to do! (SMILE)I learned years ago that you can win everybody...so to all you musicians and singers dont even try, but rather seek to be anointed and Glorify God! Im just humbled that my name would even be mentioned...thats a blessing within itself,because people dont have to give you a thought! I got alot of emails within the past few minutes concernuing this thread.

  • Graceful My Brother, Bless You

  • WOW!!!!! Now just by this comment makes me know and understand more why I am a part of D'vyne Worship!!!! This was a TEST!!!! LOL - Well it was!!!! I mean wait till the cd drops people will be CHANGED - That is what all of this is about we are in this for one reason and that is to minister......I am SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!! Come on CD!!!!! Come on!!!! LOL

  • I guess people thought I would be upset... but no I'm not. Singerssinger you may not know me but I believe that you care about my ministry enought to make comments... and for that again I say Thank You! The only thing I want, is for us ALL to do BETTER in EVERY facet of our lives and not just in music...cuz a whole lot of us can sing and play near perfect, but our spiritual lives could use alot of work. Now Let's minister for change!!!! Much Love ...Patrick Ridick

  • Oh and the last statement includes me too yall! Cuz God knows I need help cuz I truly wanna be right with God!!!

  • Patrick (Little Founder)! You know you my brother and I would not be a part of D'vyne Worship if I did not BELIEVE in your ministry - I DO MAN - I love New G as well and that is why I am also apart of that ministry as I believe in Ricky's (Big Founder) ministry as well ( 2 WONDERFUL AND POWERFUL MUSIC MINISTRIES WOW!!!!!! LOL) - This is only one person out of MILLION'S OF PEOPLE on this earth that feel this way - So Don't WORRY ABOUT IT!!!! Stay encouraged!!!!

    Carl

  • My comment wasn't meant to Bad mouth him. I don't know HIM or his CHOIR. Now if I wanted to bash or bad-mouth anyone, please believe that i am more than capable of doing a great job at it! I wish Brother Riddick and his choir much success however is it against the rules for someone to have and UNFAVORABLE opinion about a group and one not be "hating". I promise I won't say anything else to offend any of you. James Hall, Ricky D and Patrick Riddick were all named. I gave my opinion on all 3

  • hello and good morning my sista. what in the world... how could this be... I feel so embarrassed... well in the name of JESUS anyhow. This has vexed my spirit girl and to my man Pat if your listening, You have a VERY RADIANT LIGHT THAT EVERYONE CAN SEE, BE ENCOURAGED MY BROTHER dont get weary in doing the right thing, for U KNOW that in due season you shall reap a harvest of blessing, more than you have room for

  • And as far as Patrick Riddicks group-Its just my honest opinion that they have ALOT of work to do. I've looked at a few clips of them up here and I really like their music but Vocally they are very weak... They sing dark and LOUD but thats it! No diversity, no dynamic, HORRIBLE DICTION and NO LEADERS! They represent that ministry very negatively over the internet...

  • One of their members ARMYTHUG cursed me out because I PUT A NEGATIVE COMMENT ON A VERY BAD VIDEO of theirs. Armythug-"i could care less if you liked it or not cause clearly you one simple bitch that don't know shit" Now is that what "ministry" is all about? I think that group has talent and potential but a name to throw in with the likes of NEW G they are not!  They got a hot band tho... The bass player is heavy to death.

  • and i will surely agree again, u can always understand the words that they sing and of course i know Pat thats my brother 'n christ, which reminds me- i need to e-mail him shortly, i'll tell him hello for you, ok. i've have just decided not to ever again give these people who aren't in "THE KNOW" another response because i do love all of God's creations and refuse to compromise my salvation to the likes of others, hey, write me back and let me know what you think about Ricky's amazing altos...

  • I also heard that the 8th album will be a reunion album!!!! Im making plans to be at that recording!

  • Well James Hall and Ricky Dillard did performed The song God Is In Control. Eventhough James Hall came out with his version before Ricky Dillard.

  • whats up my sista n Christ, i really enjoy reading ur comments and extremely valid facts about my adopted bro rick and his awesome choir, i am so glad you are here to help me explain to the world the difference between just singing vs. praising our God in the most professional and most powerful way that Rick and New G does,lots of people dont realize how long New G has been founded and setting the bar (very high) for every choir developed after them newg gets noticeably better by the album...

  • Can some one email a service that get down like this in the Dallas metro area

  • yessss, he did that!

  • L-A-W-D baaaaaaad!

  • Just stopped by AGAIN........... This is just stoooooooopppiiiddd!!!!!

  • Man If I Had TO Choose Between This Version Or Donald Vails Version I Would Choose This One.

  • oh bless him! this is a classic song!

  • yes ralph...you betta play that tambourine like they used to over on Stanton Place!!! Sup Anthony!!!!

  • where is this church located?

  • it is my church in Nashville, TN

  • THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!

  • I have to agree w/ the rest of the comments. The Sopranos KILT!!!!! Even after performing at the Stellar Awards. WOW! What energy!!!

  • Yes sir, NEW G IS and will always be MY FAVORITE hands down!

  • you took the words right out of my mouth, literally

  • COme ONnnnnnnnnnn yessssssssss
