Whenever imgoing through the trials of life....i always watch SAY AMEN SOMEBODY and it just makes me feel better....church seem to be more real back then
This is what anointed gospel singing is all about. It transcends all age and racial barriers and touches the heart, and bathes the soul. That's all right. RIP Mother Smith.
this is song just takes me back to grannys house and you felt safe and love to hear her advice she had to give. humm I wish that was my granny mines looked at me strange lol
her daughter in this video helping her out was jackie..bertha was the adopted child and was an excellent pianist...they have all passed on i believe...
The DVD of "Say amen somebody" (brought out to celebrate the 25th anniversary) can be watched with the directors commentory and he says "many people have commented that Bertha looks older than mother, in fact she was older than mother, but never the less was her adopted daughter." That is where I got this from. I have tried to find out about Bertha but have been unable to do so.
her oldest daughter played piano for her but not in this video. The daughter im referring to is the woman helping her to her seat at the end and sings some of the song.
I remember watching this movie. Back in the early 80's on HBO with my mother. She is gone to glory in 2006. God Bless you posting Sister Willie Mae Ford. Ahlordgod, You are blessing the viewers in more ways than one.
This is one of my favorite selections from the film that's not on the soundtrack, presumably because it's so short. Thanks for uploading it in triplicate!

I just think of what they went through just to bring the gospel in their own way. Thank you Mother Smith.

if you saw the movie mother ford looks like a real good cook in the movie.

I bet she was a very good down home cook. I was raised around a lady who could be her twin and everytime I see Willie Mae I think of her.
ahlordgod 3 years ago
@ivanberry19 Yeah-the whole point of the film is the she did her cookin' on the side! That God she left more than a recipe for a good pot of greens.
