  • I bought the DVD, it was wonderful, - great singing - also found CD of Clarence Fountain and Sam Bulter singing "Me and Jesus" - I enjoyed the entire CD- Good to see Clarence is making great music

  • The lead singer is Sam Butler Jr. and Clarence Fountain and the back ground singers are the Soul Stirrers and the Blind Boys of Alabama. Sam is also the guitar player for the play. This is a play that you must have in your collection.

  • Clarence fountain is my god father, i remember this play like it was yesterday. the whole play is wonderful, you guys really need to watch the full thing. I have a copy but it on VHS bummer!!! i wish my dad was still here so we could look at it with my children... i miss him so much. R.I.P. Lamont Aubrey Bloun)

  • @LilThickoms10 i just found it on amazon on dvd, not sure if your looking for it, just thought you'd like to know.:)

  • @YTeecher Been searching for a long time for the DVD. A few years ago, PBS aired a great version featuring young Morgan Freeman and the Blind Boys of Alabama.

  • I Love this Beautiful story sang by all of the excellent voices of our time you can fell every note that shakes your very being ,it gives this greek story some real soul.

  • As they sing, I listen. God is good and worthy to be praised. The song sends a tremble through my body. I want to do better than my best.

  • What's the same Maria? This is an artistic piece of genius. To tell the story, an ancient greek tragedy, in the voices of gospel singers (some of the best in that ever lived) is a pleasure to behold. Perhaps you misunderstood what was going on here?

    btw, the entire DVD is available on Amazon. Morgan Freeman is superb and the singing a pure delight.

  • Can somebody download the movie on youtube if you can

  • it's a shame that they make this thing out of ancient greek drama ...

  • @mariavasilei It's a stroke of GENIUS.

  • The most fascinating musical theatre EVER! Pure genius. I got the DVD as soon as it came out, before my VHS tape dies. Could be better quality but, hey, maybe later. I'm just thankful to have it to see and listen to. I always cry at the end.

  • ABSOLUTELY THE BEST MUSICAL EVER....I HAVE SEEN IT AT LEAST 20 TIMES......ON DVD..........THE MUSIC IS EXCELLENT AND VERY EMOTIONAL...

  • Do you know where i can get this play on dvd? I remember seeing this performance when i was a little boy with the Soul Stirrers & The Five Blind Boys. What a class act

  • @REDIMUSICMOVIES The DVD has been released commercially and can be purchased through conventional outlets. The DVD cuts Lift Me Up (not to be confused with Lift Him Up).
