  • How you gonna put your hand on your hip and do that run like that at 1:02

  • @1Chantellz Amen to that!!..

    

  • O.K., now we can say "END OF STORY!!!!!"

  • Everyone pray for Aretha Franlkin, she had surgery for ancreatic cancer. I know Vanessa Bell Armstrong is going to be shaken by this. She is one of her favorite singers.

  • OMG ! ! !

    VBA

    THE BEST

  • Lets all thank God right now for Dr. Mattie Moss Clark; she layed an awesome foundation for all of us!!!! She is the reason why the clark sisters, VBA, lisa page brooks(from witness) and a lot of others sound like they do...

  • I love this song like none other & only VBA can do it like she does it.

    Was she talking about Dr. Mattie Moss Clark @4:29?

  • Yes!!!

  • she was on the bobby jones gospol show thats him and his choir "new life".

  • lol, this back when they used to have church on Bobby Jones, lolllllllllllllllll

  • what memories, takes me right to my childhood. grew up on this stuff

  • 52 seconds Karen got that from Vanessa Bell Armstrong, she been doing for the longest.

  • Wagernian soprano like KCS.

  • oooh i love her and i like that hairstyle lol fareal

  • Her soprano was on point here. She naturally a high soprano, but with that grit. She goes up and down the scale with ease.

  • BenSmith32 aint no surprise bout that because this is some kinda saangin lol

  • I really enjoy this song, but I wish the folk in the robes go sit their butts down. I am black as well, and we do not need to show out ALL THE TIME!

  • What are you talking about? The are the chorus. It's part of the song.

  • Comment removed

  • Where dem kinda singers @

  • ::takes off show and throws it towards for Vanessa Bell:: Who told her to sing like that? OMG!

  • Such a big voice from her and she's knee high to a junebug!! I love her, she's one of my favorite gospel singers. Huge big voice, so blessed!! I get chills just listening to her. Why is it short people have such big voices. Chaka Khan, Judy Garland, Vanessa Bell Armstrong? I guess their voice has to make up somehow. :-)

  • She sang this tonight in Houston!!!..toe the house down, big lady started screaming in my face cause the spirit was moving so hard lol

  • LOL!

  • lol it was the 1st time I was afraid for my life in church function...I seriously thought she was gonna jump the seats and knock us all out :/

  • LMBO! Wow.

  • YES LORD!!!

  • I love when GOD comes through His hand-picked singers. And Vanessa is definitely one of them. Her voice is truly anointed!!!!!!!!!

  • This lady is blessed with the voice of angels. She sings the Holy Ghost. I just don't see as much of her as I would like. Praise God for this message to all of us.

  • Nobody but Vanessa. What a voice.

  • I see now where the Clarks get that Oh....... Oh.... all the time when they sing. They get that from Nessa. It would be a lie to say that Clarks were not influenced a little bit by Vanessa Bell Armstrong. I hear so much Nessa in all their voices, vice versa too. Detroit gospel singers all use each other styles.

  • I agree even though Vanessa is around the same age as Twinkie, Vanessa is 55

  • @kmaur21 I hate to have to correct you but lift your hands and receive this... Vanessa trained with The Clark Sisters under Mattie Moss so truth be told they DID NOT get their style from Vanessa their styles may be similar but the CROWN belongs to Twinkie! Go do your history research if you need verification. Be Blessed!!!!! :}

  • @hangingt Oopps! I'm sorry to correct you but you are wrong.Vanessa trained under Mattie Moss Clark at age 12. At age 13 she did her first recording with Mattie's choir. Mattie recorded Vanessa again on different albums. Vanessa sang 4 different songs with Mattie Moss Clark. Vanessa was 13 & the Clark sissters had not learned how to sing yet. Vanessa was singing before Twinkie & Dorinda & Karen. In fact Twinkie was younger than Vanessa & Mattie had just started training Twinkie to play keyboard.

  • @hangingt ...I agree

  • @kmaur21 The Clark Sisters were singer before Vanessa

  • @Tobiasdasinger2010 U can believe what u want, i'm just tellin u what i heard from Vanessa's & Twinki's different video clips. I guess they are lying about themselves. If VBA started recording at 12 yrs old & Twinki was 10 & just learning to play the organ, then how old was Karen? 3 or 4? Exactly how in the world were the Clark Sisters singing when karen couldn"t even talk? i guess u were there at their rehearsal. lol tOBLASDASINGER1010 believe what u want. Thank God u cannot rewrite history.

  • Comment removed

  • @1Chantellz ..Perhaps Vanessa was sing at the age of 12, but not recording.....I heard her say she was inspired by Maddie Moss and the Clark Sisters. and if u really kno history...u would kno...that the Clark Sister's original name was " The Sentimentalists".......The Clark Sister's first recording was in 1973"Jesus Had A Lot TO Give",..and they began singing in the 60's.... whereas Vanessa's first recorded album 1983"Peace Be Still".....and Ima huge fan of them both.......End of story!!!!

  • @FavorShown25 What are you Wowing for? HUM? When I finish making Tabias look like a fool I hope you have some Wows for him. Get the Wows ready because I just found what I was looking for to show Tabias doesn't know what he's sayingl

  • @Tobiasdasinger2010 You say Vanessa may have been singing at the age of 12, but not recording? O.K., then Mr. Know-it-all. Go to Youtube search section type in “The LIFE & Times of Dr. Clark” clip on video clip. Read and listen. Vanessa leads a song entitled “So Glad I Counted The Cost”. Soloist Vaness Bell (age 13). Trio: Mattie Moss Clark, Vanessa Bell Armstrong and LaBarbara Whitehead 1966 recording. So far I have proved u wrong on this issue. Here comes the next issue.

  • @Tobiasdasinger2010 Issue #2 you insinuated that the Clark Sisters were recording before Vanessa, well once again you are wrong. I gues You don't know your history. The Clarks may have recorded in 1973, but Vanessa was recording with the Clark Sister's Mother Dr. Mattie Moss Clark in 1966, now you tell me. Which year came first? Hum? 1966 (Vanessa) or 1973 (Clark Sisters)? The Proof is in the previous post. Opss, i guess u don't know your history. Mattie Moss aint wrong, so I guess u r

  • @Tobiasdasinger2010 O.K., lets go to issue #3, You said the Clark Sisters have been singing in the 60s, well I say u r wrong again. Vanessa was born on October 2, 1953. Karen Clark was born in November 15, 1960. When Vanessa was 7 yrs 1 month, Karen was not born. When Vanessa turned 13 yrs old Karen was still 5 yrs old. How in the world were the Karen singing, traveling & recording with the Clarks or the Selestrials at 5 yrs old? Twinkie was 12 so what was Karen sinsing Twinkle little star?

  • @1Chantellz RELAX, RELAX........U is really goin innn!!!!!!OK..U proved some of ur point...Vanessa was recording at the age of 12, or 13...whichever......But U must understand that just because Karen was too young to sing...does not mean there was no Clark Sisters...... the group consisted of the 4 sisters excluding Karen until she was old enough.......Meaning the Clark Sisters were singing in the 60's..........In spite of what u say, or believe...VANESSA was Inspired by the Clark family!!!!!!!!

  • @Tobiasdasinger2010 I'm going to try to relax but it's hard. LOL. I agree with you. Vanessa was influenced by Dr. Mattie & I believe as the Clark Sisters got older Vanessa influenced them and they influenced Vanessa's style of singing. We agree with about that. I was just tell you what I heard come out of both of their mouths on different interviews. When Vanessa recorded with Mattie. Twinkie was 11 or 12 & Vanessa & Twinkie said Dr. Moss was just teaching Twinkie how to play the organ.

  • @1Chantellz LOL.....at least we ended up agreeing on somthing.....HAPPY HOLIDAYZ..LOL

  • @1Chantellz I agree with ya'll but they all got it from Aretha!! They adore her and she them. It's evident in their singing style how they patterned after Aretha

  • @OfficiallyRoyce I'll work with on that Long Live Queen Aretha!

  • @1Chantellz True But Vanessa Wasn't as Famous as the Clark sisters were then! Not at al!! Jackie is older than Vanessa!!

  • @Tobiasdasinger2010 , Yes they were,

  • @FavorShown25 - Based on history, NO THEY WEREN'T! Now, where are my Wowsssss!!!! LOL

  • @kmaur21 I Agree but I do want you all to know that Vanessa what not that Famous until the late 70s early 80s!! The Clark sisters were already formed and singing by the time Vanessa gained national recognition.

  • @kmaur21 No Darling.... the Clark Sisters were "Running" LONG BEFORE we knew what to call it! Grew up with them in the COGIC !!!!!

  • she done took me all the way in

  • you can book her via her myspace music page--if you can't find it just message me on here(when searching on myspace do not hyphenate bell-armstrong)

  • Click on my link (above) to see the

    Madison New Life Band, (UHOP) from Charlotte, NC perform Vanessa Bell Armstrong's - Peace Be Still - in Washington, DC.

  • This is the Queen of runs before there was a Kim Burrell. She was doing this in like the 80s. Some people are sleep on Vanessa but she is COLD!!!!!..she does things with her voice that are out of this world.

  • Yes, I totaly agree and to be honest I think Kim was heavily influenced by Nessa with that grit style along with Dorinda Clark Cole. Only Nessa, and Dorinda was singing raspy with that grit like that!

  • This is true...I love them all but dont forget the Pillers..I feel you though and agree also..

  • I always said anything Kim Burrell can do Nessa already did and some. There is no run and riff Kim Burrell Nessa can not do, and she probably can do it better! You know how long she been singing. But Burrell is Bad though. She is the Nessa of this generation, but Nessa and Rinda is the originals of that raspy, fast complex run style.

  • I would even come as far as to say the Clarks are definitely influenced by Nessa in some ways, vice versa. Nessa is older and been singing longer. She was doing runs like that way before anybody else as a soloist, and then the Clarks. Detroit singers all influence and learn from one another. The Clarks would even admit probably Nessa being a influence. Nessa is like Twinkie's and the Clarks older sister.

  • @kmaur21 She is the truth..perfect combination of contralto to 2nd soprano!! Those G's were standard KCS!!

  • @MichaelD1085 , The Queen of runs? That's all? Naw, she is the Queen of Voice. No matter how many female singers hit high notes, that don't matter, they still can't out sing Ms. Armstrong. She is the Queen of Voice Period!!!

  • @MichaelD1085 - The entire Gospel Industry is sleeping on Vanessa. All these other singers have gotten grammys, why not Vanessa? SHE out sings them in her sleep with a sinus infection>

  • alright nessa....

  • 0:55 - 1:03 She oughta quit cause she know she bad right there. WORK IT OUT VANESSA!! Jesus saves!

  • Yall see Beverly in the background at 2:26

  • 0:41-0:43...Someone please explain Bobby's hand!!

  • wow....she was and is currently and will be a beast in da future!! definitely a detroit legend, ok for albertina,shirley, im sorry them detroit girls spanks booty in my opinion

  • she the best out of all the females to me but yall see beverley crawford in the back by boddy jones, she aint to bad but vanessa is the queen, LOL

  • I will tell you Vannessa is great but one gospel singer who stands wit hher is Sandra Crouch she has a powerful voice for the Lord her song Yes lord! remines me of this peace be Still.

  • Um...Sandra Crouch is a great songwriter, but she doesn't really sing. She has never really been a singer, but she did write some awesome songs.

    BTW Vanessa is the TRUTH! :-)

  • Yeah Beverly is the background. I remember this I was a little kid. I used to love to watch Beverly and the those woman SANG on Bobby Jones. Beverly was a trip........... Nessa tore the mess out of this!!!!!!!! I forgot how good Vanessa was back in her prime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • I love the harmony!!!!!!

  • Yes INDEED

  • sandra crouch aint no vocalist like vba! yo dats so funny!were u tryna be funny?

  • I do not down cast a person who speaks of the Gospel Of Jesus Christ... Pastor Sandra Crouch has written great songs that have been a blessing to many songs such as "Yes Lord" " "glorify the Lord" Mangnify the Lord and coutless others.....the twin to Andrae Crouch.....they both are gospel ledgens.

  • dats wassup!! but again..sandra an andrae crouch are great in their own right..were talking bout singing ability..sandra or andrae were not singers like dat..but if u think so dats what u like. be bless..an no one was "down casting"?

  • In my opinion she is the princess maybe but Shirley Casear is the Queen of Gospel!

  • No, Shirley is NOT the queen. We have to give her a title though... Albertina is currently the queen because she is responsible for introducing to the world people like James Cleveland, Shirley Caesar, Dorothy Norwood, Inez Andrews, Casietta George...can I go on? She's the MOMMA of Gospel I guess. LOL. So, what shall we call Shirley? Cause if it weren't for Albertina, we wouldn't know who Shirley was unless we lived in Raleigh/Durham NC.

  • No I think Mahalia Jackson was the mother of Gospel!!

  • Okay, I can go with that. But I only said Mama in regards to today's living pioneers.

  • U really know your gospel music history. Broke it down! LOL

  • LOL. Been around it my ENTIRE life. Was born into the industry. Can't help it.

  • True ... don't forget Debbie Austin.

  • yes she's still singing. she just released her last cd in 2007

  • and it's awesome too!

  • YES! She was just at 100th Convocation in Memphis this past November. And she's hopefully singing at a Youth Conference where having in June!

  • Amen to that I was there!!! Absolutely Awesome!!!

  • i like how she can preach and sing at the same time

  • MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTT­TTTT (I HAD TO USE A T AT THE END) What an Annoited voice...even though the enemy thought he had her..God snuck up on him with the 1, 2 punch. I believe that she will be restored to Fully...I've never seen her, only through Youtube, I live in the Bahamas...but i send the word

  • I agree....Hello fellow Bahamian!

  • It was when I first saw this performance on Bobby Jones Gospel that VBA was solidified as my all-time favorite singer. VANESSA is a true legend! BTW what is in that Detroit water that makes these folk sing like that??? I want some!! LOL

  • U KNOW WHAT I 'm SAYING... I've GOT TO GO THERE, lol... VBA IS MY FAV. GOSPEL LADY- SING NESSA!

  • Man oh man!!! Can't NOBODY do it like Vanessa! And so effortless at that. SANG NESSA!
