Yes she is her name is Lorreta Oliver she still sing at Fellowship Missonary Baptist Church where Rev Clay Evans is the founder. Key in her name in the search engine even in her 70s she still got it. Dont forget to key in Vernon Oliver Price Lorreta's sister.

[whatuwatchingjoe]

Yes. Loretta Oliver is still singing. She's been a member of Rev Clay Evan's church in Chicago for many yrs. If you type her name into youtube, youll find several of her videos. Her and her sister Vernon Oliver Price are some annointed singers.

[kronk99]

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!! That's what I'm talking about!!!!!! GLOOOOORRRRAAAAYYYYYY!!!!! Straight jooking for Jesus....hand me a tamborine!!!!

[montgomb3]

That organ sounds like CRAP!!

[flyyguy78]

i agree but that piano player is ON POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheFirecogicuk]

James liked it that way. he didnt play.

[jland742003]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[TheFirecogicuk]

They could have got a hammond B3 they were aroud in the 70s

[pastorbyron1]

Very true, however, if you know the history of the Hammond Organ, it was around this time that the "new" hammond sound had come out. Hammond was doing everything they could to get these organs into the ears of the world. That sounds like an H-100, this was the dawn of the "modern organ"

[iorioriorio]

Holy smoke! Never seen James lookin so cool...preachers today should be wearin that fringed number...today so bland

[THERIGHTREVEREND]

Loretta Oliver like to took me IN! LOL!

[PennTrafford]

This was back when everybody had 'fro's'....

[Atldarknight]

No, that is Loretta Oliver from the Fellowship Baptist Church Choir.

She also led "Something About God's Grace"

[MrProfessor1984]

Thats is Loretta Oliver....Such a Power Alto.... She does very well, even at her present age on "Walking up the Kings Highway." She really slangin that afro; that aint nothing but the spirit....

[BerniceJenkins2007]

That's Not Shirley cause it don't look like her

[scampbell04]

[Atldarknight]

[higgybaby1]

Is that Shirley Caesar at 2:19

[lmont78]

lol no i don't believe that's Shirley Caesar.

[sunshine53lyric]

yes, that is Shirley Caesar

[lmont78]

That lady is a lil heavy to be Shirley Caesar to me but if you say so, ok.

[madeasbaby]

that was truly shirley

[sunshine53lyric]

That is Shirley she has been to my church in north carolina. She did not live far from my hometown.

[steven2312]

Where In north Carolina are you from???

[MrRocky9000]

no, that`s definitely not Shirley Caesar. Shirley would have been much younger and much smaller than that in 1972

[bartsing2]

wonderful...

[theophano]

great camera work!

[jmr2shy]

did you hear that soprano at 4:04

[steven2312]

Lord Yes!! Didnt She hit That Note

[LiftingHimUp]

yeah she killed that note I wish we had more singer now like they had then

[ssu12grad]

YES YES YES!!!

[pluto17dre]

SANG LORETTA!!!!

[JayBeeThree]

OMG! That's Marvin Yancy at 5:01, with the afro, sitting at a keyboard, I think. Natalie Cole's ex-husband, who co-wrote most of her '70s hits. This is before they were married and he became a Pastor I assume. Wow!

[Darneloh]

He was always a Pastor but yeah that looks like him! They divorced because of her drug habit.

[steven2312]

I wonder How many people are in this choir?

[dontstopit08]

now this is CHURCH !!!!

[ItsJustMe220]

I watch this daily just to get the spirit moving. Be Blessed! Thank you for posting!

[markitopapito]

7:37 . . . is that Condoleezza Rice ?

[OMGItzLTRE]

fuckin stupid bitch

[xavierdh2000]

This can get you saved faster then todays gospel singers.

[a1213w]

i really like this song

[tikkunsoulam]

You can say what you want about who the King and Queen of Gospel are....but When Loretta took the mike, the spirit went up in the place. Good God almighty. If it took Albertina 3 minutes, it took Loretta 30 seconds. At least thats what I see on the video. I would like to see more post of her. All of her singing on Youtube is old footage.

[niecy4you]

these are indeed legends of the gospel...add to them Rev. Frank Williams. i just got my praise on as I viewed the video.

[kjames32209]

Albertina worked that song in less than 3 minutes! LOL!! She came for business then she exited the stage. She dont play!!!

[SexyMannyFresh]

LoL I know that's right!! LoL

[DesertRose4674]

Her part was hot all by itself. James added some more fuel to the flame...

[SexyMannyFresh]

[SexyMannyFresh]

Yes I know that, Im just Stating 2pioneers in Gospel Music the King&Queen Of GOSPEL Albertina W.& Rev.James C., Just giving honor to whom Honor is DUE!!!

[vann1024]

[ivanberry19]

[steven2312]

[SexyMannyFresh]

You Know ALbertina Solo Was Short, But On fire None the Less! I beileve If Albertina sung on A lil bit more And Loretta jump in Later Yo! That Whole Place would have Caught on Fire and Not one Usher would have stop them!!

[Johnzoe777]

[bholyway3]

[jholyghosthead]

[0100920]

yes lord

[Sanggurl17]

awesome!!

[njharris27]

Loretta Oliver, that woman right there. people dont do that no more...i pray that this type of singing comes back real soon!!! She sounded a lil like karen!!!

[nett1eb]

You are so right njharris27, people don't do that no more. And, you better not try! They will quickly tell you that you are out of order. It's sad....

I miss this type of letting the Lord have HIS WAY type of church! Go Loretta and Albertina!

[case1show]

we do this kind of stuff at my church

[DesertRose4674]

Well, believe it or not, I just bought the soundtrack online a few days ago. I would like to get the video, too.

[DesertRose4674]

Where can I get the video, and where can I get the album? I like classic stuff like this-just because it reminds me of what I have been through to make it to where I am now. Glory!!! God is Good!

[direfranchement]

Ms. Walker's part was way too short. The rest of it is...a fever.

[0100920]

i'll agree with you

[mrduragss]

Albertina walkers part is always to short

[0100920]

you are so rite

[magnificat75]

This was part of the Save the Children album that was put out by Motown in 1973. This song was cut and the only portion on the album is James Cleveland talking to Marvin Yancey on the piano and Mickey on the organ and them playing the shouting music.

[magnificat75]

ummm, nope that wasnt Shirley Caesar. This was the Push Expo concert for 1972. James was the special guest and the Push Expo choir was made up in part by a lot of members from Fellowship Baptist Church (hence, Loretta Oliver is singing in the choir and Roy Mickey Warren is on the organ).

[DarylJFowler]

The Queen of Gospel Albertina Walker & Loretta Oliver are Matchless on this video.

[vsumass]

Was that Shirley @ 2:18...

[cakingiii]

Yep that was her. This was a program held by Rev Cleveland back in '72. I wonder if she sung on the telathon too? But that was her. She look like she couldn't get with the service, like she had that look on her face like they were fake or something, but anyway, I wish Rev. Cleveland was playing the piano on this one, but it was good to see Mickey. I wonder what he's up to since Rev. Cleveland's demise and passing.......

[rollsroycecooley1]

I don't think that was her at all, I remeber this and Shirley made an appearence can't recall if she sang or not(ask the poster) but her hair and outfit are totally diffrent from waht I recall.
