We have eyes, and yet we still don't see.

I posted this video on my facebook wall as my mom's choir sang this years ago and it brought back great memories.  I received lots of heartfelt responses but when I tried to view the video I received the message, "embedding disabled...etc." I'm not quite understanding why you don't want this good message "shared" with the masses. You didn't write the song, you're not missing out on any royalties.... You posted the video, period. I think it's pretty sh*tty that you don't allow re-posts....

@darrell60302 WNOV Sign off. Loved this song ever since.

[dustee]

@vel22vet Ha! Herb Kent was on "WVON" in Chicago and played this after every one of his shows.

[darrell60302]

REMEBER WHEN HERB KENT PLAYED THIS WHEN HE SIGNED OFF WVON LATER ON V103 IN CHICAGO

WNOV IN MILWAUKE WVONS FORMER SISTER STATION PLAYED WHEN THEY SINGED OFF

[lavendertimes]

@Briniee & louisq52 I have those same Sunday morning memories while dressing for Pilgrim Baptist or Moody Bible; we were blessed children to have WVON bringing the spirit to our hearts and minds. Let the church say, "AMEN".

[Briniee1]

I've been searching for this song for the longest. My parents would have the radio on WVON early in the morning and it played this song, it brings back so many good memories. PRAISE GOD.

[louisg52]

@Briniee1 - I used to hear this after "Herb Kent - The Cool Gent' when WVON was signing off the air (remember those days?) Yes... very good memories!

[Briniee1]

@louisg52 I was trying to find buy this song many years ago and was under the false impression that it was Rev. Milton Brunson's version that I listened to on WVON. I am sooo glad that I decided to see if somebody might have uploaded it to this sight. Yes, louisg52 I remember those days of very good memories......:)

[immioche]

Thanks for this wonderful post! I have heard other versions of this song. But this one by far is the best to me!

[ShiShuoShen]

That's my uncle "Snooky" - Leon Lumpkin to you....... May he rest in peace.

[SonShineShon]

I love the crackling sound the vinyl record makes, I grew up on that sound...I love the words to this song! :) POWERFUL MESSAGE!

[honeydewluv]

[Skittlez46203]

[TheZayaman99]

my godfather wrote this song, played the piano on this song and sang lead on this song.

[kalata59]

I always loved this song

[kendrickmartin1]

I WOULD HEAR THIS SONG IN THE BAR AND KNOW THAT IT WAS CLOSING TIME, I ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG BUT NEVER REALLY KNEW THE MEANING UNTIL ONE DAY I ACTUALLY LISTENED TO THE SONG AND REALIZED WHAT WAS BEING SAID. I KNEW THEN THAT GOD WAS TELLING ME SOMETHING . I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS SONG AND KNOW THAT GOD  IS TRULY MY LORD AND SAVIOR.

[queballali]

MY FATHER WOULD DO RADIO ON SUNDAYS ALL CHURCH PROGRAMS THIS IS WHAT HAS TOUCHED MY SOUL..

[sasukedeathgod]

this was the closing song on wvon radio station, herb kent use to close out with this song.  blicious1

[BishopTJH]

@sasukedeathgod And it is still his closing song to this day. He ends his Sunday shows with this song around 7:00pm on V103 in Chicago :)

[sasukedeathgod]

this was the closing song on wvon radio station, herb kent use to close out with this song.

[MrWallk8]

This jam was astounding to me being a product of Chicago's 'Southside i remember "daylight catching me up again"the sound of this inspirational gospel was as sure on Sunday morning as the promise of the "cool gent" playing it! This jam was as much a part of Chicago's black culture as the"Bud Billikin parade.

[godsvirtuous79]

Hi Do you have the song called Big Wheel! This is a classic that my parents use to listen too. This is one of my other favorites as well.

[horusbedhetys]

Always played at the end of "The Herb Kent Show" on WVON in Chicago and influenced generations of little black Chicago kids. I've never grown tired of hearing this song, this version. The Earth, Wind and Fire version just shows the influence of Mr. Kent (The Cool Gent) Electric Crazy People: We're everywhere!

[strait0886]

I have been looking for a copy of this for years, Thanks

[packard400]

fantastic song AND disc.......EXCEPT for the sticker on the label.........unless that sticker says something like "property of AM 1450/WVON.Chicago...." the value of that disc just got sheared in half! Still a stellar tune!!!

[lordkoos]

@packard400

Only to anal collectors, everyone else can just enjoy the music...

[packard400]

@lordkoos ,,,,I'd like to enjoy the music...burn it off onto a CD...then sell it to an anal collector and have some cash to feed my kids....but y'know what?...that disc isn't worth the wax its stamped on with the label covered over...Still a great tune! I'll take a CD any day however.

[Gregvr511]

Great Praise song to our Lord!

[willgonow]

need's a few plays, it's good
