@comeon6 : I agre! But I must say that you can DEFINITELY feel the anointing on this choir when they sing! That's what sets apart this group from others......allow the message of Christ to be FELT in the words you deliver! Absolutely beautiful singing and I look forward to hearing more from HU =)

[kraftynsassy1]

As an HBCU alum (Grambling State) I am so pleased to have discovered your choir. The annointing in your voices ministers to my soul. I've played this song on repeat while at work since I found you all on here since Friday. God Bless, Much respect! Keep up the great work!

[DPR3211]

The best! Oh the blood. The director sang, reminding us about the precious gift. I don't want to know where I would be without the blood. If I start to think about it, something on the inside of me feels like fire shut up in my bones.

[pianoplaya2002]

dude from sundays best

[JuzLykeKandy]

Yup Clifton Ross !

[dkw08]

I don't knw who that director is but brotha....brotha....brotha...

[Howardgospelchoir]

The Musical Director of the Howard Gospel Choir is Clifton Ross, III.

[jpgkorea]

4:20 sounds like the camera man looses it because it was just so dynamic....I wish I was there to see this.

[joy215]

That director is awesome!

[prophetessgordon]

I was thinkin' the same thing. He put a smile on my face ;)

[toriclover]

OMG!!!! Y'all don't even know, i went in around 5:30, but then I fully was taken at 8:30. But, They tear it up when you're there when they perform, because it adds that extra blessing, because you feel the presence in the room.

[toriclover]

When I get out of school, and go to Howard, I have to join this choir

[playin4Him25]

was this at a concert or a church service?

[Howardgospelchoir]

We were in concert on Easter Sunday 2008 at the New Covenant Missionary Baptist Church [Chicago, IL].

[joshuaofjericho]

I love listening to this choir very much. Keep ministering through song! Chicago is real major with gospel music, as a matter of fact we the home of gospel. To God be all the glory!!!

[MrSwacGuy99]

the blood the blood the blood... My my my.... This was one of James Hall most powerful songs... To God be the Glory.....

[keyed2u]

I must give this choir credit for their creativity. very nicelydone. We can compare all day but the reality is, everyone interprets different and the important things is that it is all good. Very nicely done.

[nijeilmandell]

We all love James Hall for what they can do but what Howard did with this song I love too. I love hearing the WORDS and actual NOTES. Howard sopranos dynamics are SICK. I think I wanna vomit. I don't know what yall did at 5:30 but that took me right on in!

[Lukeworld]

This version of this song was very clean. James Hall choir when they sing this sometimes they scream but that why we love james hall. Howard cleaned it up and same results. Very good To God Be the Glory Howard keep on going forth

[doolonzo]

mmmmmm i dunno...this was my first time hearing this with out the coloration of vibrato, it was different, i guess i can appreciate their originality...but i do like james hall...

[andrea21009]

seeing the end of this makes me want to hear the director sing now. i think he can tear somethin up with his range!! he sho did get up there!!!

[aidolfan4lyph]

Yes my boy Clifton Ross III is bad! He has video up here type his name in and you will find it.

[andrea21009]

i love watching the director. he's so animated and i would love to sing in this choir....thats all i know is music and singin. i sing my church's choir(s)

[HannahCJ09]

well i dont know about yall but this video sent me right into worship so... amen. lol

[titeyungin]

this isnt the type of song for crakling and squalling.. they were singing per the original.. with a FEW modifications... sounded PERFECT to me..

[cmylaw]

Shout out to da musicians!!! yall killed it!!

[blackgoliath2011]

That was awesome!

[revpdc1220]

some people are not used to perfection. Squalling and cackling is not how gospel music is to be sung. Gospel music is not a genre where you just sing it any old way and "let the spirit cover it up." it should be practiced and perfected and thats exactly what this choir did. they are a perfect example of how gospel, spirituals and anthems are to be sanged

[dirtyrock06]

i really disagree. i think that its opinion. u cant say how gospel music is MEANT to be sung because u werent there wen it started, but i enjoyed both versions. this was a little too clean for me as well, but it showed mastery of their craft so u cant argue with that. However, the james hall version is more my PERSONAL taste.

[LdySeats]

They were just a bit too reserved. James Hall is a perfectionist, trust me, but they just didn't quite let go enough. I mean, they are perfect in tone, notes and all, clearly the musicians are highly skilled, just needed a little more umph!

[swampboy05]

lol.. i fee you!

[methco09]

chills

[hisgentlepeace]

How long ago was this?

[Howardgospelchoir]
