[CRobertGray]

When we had church like this and the choir sang like this Everybody in the Church praised the Lord and I mean everyone there wasn't a stiff person in the house but now in these days we have left the way songs was sung and we got into the Jazz and the R&B in Gospel and we try to get all pretty and stuff even much as to Match the melody to the secular world and you now see some into the song and some standing still. We need to go back and get the old time Religion. Can I get a AMEN.

[TheSongbird34]

@CRobertGray Amen!!!!

[nwdumas50]

I know what you mean. I remember hearing some of these songs on car-rides home and to church when my mama bought all his cassettes. We even sang a few of his songs in church. Truly songs of wisdom that I now come to count on when times get hard!

[djw0575]

OH MY GOD!!! This is awesome to say the least!!! I haven't heard some of these songs since I was a small child in the 80's.

[jet1crazy]

If you didn't sing at 4:41! Hallelujah. I am still thanking God for Rev. Cleveland!

[muziq08]

SANG BRIGHTSIDE SISTA

[Rowoches]

SING CLEO!!! That's the song I'm looking for! I heard Sarah Jordan Powell singing "Bright Side Somewhere" and I almost fell out!

[MKD825]

My pastor used to lead on that song, an old favorite.

[jmurray06]

Whats the name of the song that the guy sings at 7:28? is it called every now amd then?

[SMOKEY2500]

Just guessing, but the song title might be, "Every Now and Then". Brings back memories of Donald Vails at Ebenezer AME Church in Ft. Washington, MD. When he passed, his Homegoing service was similar - the choir sang while people came in for the viewing.

[ivanberry19]

i would love to see that.

[ivanberry19]

i want to know to.

[jmurray06]

Man i love these Hymns

[mcmiraclevalley]

Rev. James Cleveland would have been so pleased with such a service. Everyone did so well. Rest in peace O'man of God:

Rev. Michael Capps, Ph.D

[529068]

thats Wayne Anthony.

[nuttinbutchurch]

do you have any idea where wayne anthony roach is today...the last i heard of him was at praises of zion in los angeles

[529068]

He was at the GMWA last year, but I don't know anything about him personally.

[nuttinbutchurch]

Thank You. Good to know he is still around. Palyed and sang with him every Sunday from 97-2000. The clip does no justice; absolutely one of the greatest voices in Gospel...one of my personal all time favorites. Remember that song, "I want to be ready when you come?" He great.;-)

[tyee2008]

James presented our first album.

"James Cleveland Presents Helen Stephens And The Voices Of Christ.'

He is truly missed. I know that he has a workshop in Heaven

[getit4312]

Can anybody tell me who the first guy is singing. I have heard him in on some of Cleveland's stuff and I love his style and voice.. this is a great tribute.

[getit4312]

[Darneloh]

Go head Angela Spivey she's another powerhouse I love her singing and ministering.

Mildred Clark and the melodyaires recorded this song too.She had a big hit with my job is working for Jesus.

[Marsena]

THIS is how a Christian's funeral should be - a celebration and tribute to a life lived for Jesus!

[MrsJackieBrown]

I agree. It really should be an inspiring celebration. Make the sinners jelous! This is why we live Holy, so that one day we can receive the reward of Heaven. I want my funeral to be a Holy Ghost party. Have the sinners running to the alter saying, "I want to be saved too!"

[Kinfolk68]

wat church was this at??

[cleverboy07]

It was at Rev. James Cleveland's church Cornerstone Institutional Baptist Church in Los Angeles California.Rev James Cleveland was the founder and first pastor of his church in L.A. .

[ivanberry19]

[cleverboy07]

I don't know. I'm from Houston TX born and raised and i just so happen use to talk to someone who knew him personally but i don't know who the pastor was after James. Rev. James Cleveland was the founder and first pastor of his church and thats a true fact fa sho.

[MKD825]

Rev. Cleveland's church, Cornerstone Institutional Baptist in L.A.

[bidonpenn]

Is that Evely Champagne King singing the first song?

[Darneloh]

No that's Angela Spivey of Chicago Illinois and she's awesome too.

[mcmiraclevalley]

This was a major loss to us who loved the Rev. James Cleveland. I miss him & rest in peace O'man of God:

who is the lady singing 'come in to my heart'

[rdavis92]

The 3rd woman to sing is Cleoparta Kennedy a lyric soprano who sang with Dorothy Love Coates and the Gospel Harmonettes

[529068]

I didn't know that about Cleo, I have a record of her singing at a civil rights rally in the 60's....

[rdavis92]

Yeah she attends the GMWA's every year and hits those same high notes and even higer ones... She is truly blessed

[jdb11887]

Its a lady at my church that does the same high notes like ms. cleo! they both sounds just alike! Plus James Cleveland came to our church once and just did torn the house down with Im Glad and I Shall wear a crown!! and was impress with our lady sorpano hitting those high notes

[kenndogg]

lyric? i always coined her as a coloratura!!! lol

[rdavis92]

That what is said on her web site.

[Marsena]

@rdavis92 I know her! I've sung with her in Women of Worship here in Birmingham, Alabama. She is a sweet lady!

[jdb11887]

these are what u call good old time gospel. songs that will make u move shout and cry. i love that part when the lady was singing there's a bright side somewhere
