RIP Bishop Edwin Hawkins. He died this past Sunday. I remember my Mom's playing this album, yes, I said album, in our house back in the day. Classic gospel.

Same tune as "How Dry I Am!"

[inkey2]

this song is actually "the sound & style" George Harrison was looking for when he recorded "my sweet lord", the multiple voices in the background etc

Basically the same tune as, " How dry I am, how dry I am, nobody knows how dry I am."

[Anntelope]

[thick1921]

Love the original version. Thanks for posting!

[boardrider58]

The opening not only reminds me of My Sweet Lord but also Hello Its Me.

[nancydrew5]

Yes George Harrison's My sweet Lord recorded in 1970 was inspired by the 1967 recording of Hawkin'ns O Happy Day which was taken from a hym written in the 18th century originally in 3/4 time. Hawkins was the first and inspired a number of songs after this recording which were influenced by "HIS" recording.

[inkey2]

to nancydrew5: haha i did not see your posting....I said the same thing

[vince065us]

This would be the last Gospel song to crack the top 40 charts (1969).It wan't until 1980 when Bob Dylan's "Gotta Serve Somebody " Would chart on the top 40.
