I must thank you for 1) having the presence of mind to record this and 2) posting it to YouTube. I'm not terribly religious but this sincerely moves me.

[mom2dave]

@1wiggidyc you got that right 'cause I have tried!! The riffs aren't the ordinary run of the mill riffs. That's what I love about her. You can't even tell what she's going to do next.

[1wiggidyc]

Its impossibe to Copy her...........That's what makes her the best.

[musicalcritic09]

Sicerely, KIM'S establishment ask the Clarks about her and see what they tell you.

[divatildaend]

[txladjen]

She could have been the greatest jazz singer in my time but praise God she gave it all to the Lord and blessed us all by taking us where we didn't know we could go in worship to our King and Savior Jesus...

[deon1717]

yeah ministry is good which is why she should record and release it as a single and include it on her next project.

[deon1717]

Why she cant record this? Im sure it would do well in sales.

[sexxytee27]

I guess it's not about the money it's about the ministry ministry.

[jamacia1luv]

[timothymoten]

yes kim is a beast alone... we all know... but not meaning to take her shine... does anyone not hear that piano player who is playin for her??? you have to be bless and talented to keep up with her!!!! lol just sayin.

[LittleJ1576]

You see she didn't try to touch KARENS PART! Lol. But, Kim always JAZZES it up! I see know her style has more of a "scattish"/"jazzy" feel to it! 3:45

[kizzirock]

SANNNG KIM!!

[Ms1outlaw]

i love the way she takes ANY song and make it her own!!!

[xjtat5]

that's talent....most singers jus sing...but she got talent...she don't even have to try...my god...i love her forever and ever...

[winonastanback]

My girl. I am officially a fan. Have you heard "I Got the Victory"? -- whew, what a ride.

[Tributetycoon]

The best voice in Gospel music, but was worshiping our creator the focus in this?

[izzymalik]

Why is there always a deep one in the group? How arrogant it is of us to decide who is worshiping or not? It appeared to be worship to me? So then I guess only GOD really knows. So can we just enjoy the music with out your so called deepness. HATERS ARE EVEN IN DA CHUTCHHOUSE!

[rashad1018]

I feel you izzy...give me a break!

[Tributetycoon]

It's a serious question, plus, if it's all entertainment, and I did say "IF", then there are supossed to be haters of that.

[arvell78]

Anytime we love each other we are worshipping the creator. Remember the scripture...and you shall no that they are Mine by the love they have for each other...She was esteeming a fellow laborer

[kitti510]

no she didnt (dorinda clark) go up there and put some money on the stage...lol!!!!

OK!!

[xjtat5]

Kim is a BEAST...

[dabible]

OOOMMMMMMGGG! Kim U Badd!

[ImSoSoul]

Gaaaaahhh... I did NOTHING but have that "Stank face" on!!! She is a BEEAAAAASST!!! I woulda pulled my hair out if I were there!! I almost did sitting in front of this computer!!!

[09Mitch30]

[TeeBird504]

Kim wow............The Clark Sisters should have jumped on stage and fought her for that mic......she wore this song out......lol. Great work! Awesome! Amazing!

[LavenderDreams17]

[love2378]

[naomijoy100]

I really don't know how Kim Burrell does it..... It's amazing what God's anointing can do.

[musiqnatik]

Don't make no sense for 1 person to be able to do that many things with their voice.

[lovt2]

@musiqnatik I agree..it dont make NOOOO KINDA SENSE.....

[anointedone91]

@musiqnatik Don't make no sense! That's qhy I love her so much 4 her uniqueness and allowing the Lord to use her at the same time!!!

[childofgod99]

[TeeBird504]

I never understood all the hype about Kim Burrell. Well I do now. Kim Burrell Clark

[boyofjazz]

Um...naw...Kim Burrell has her on thing going on. She sounds nothing like the Clarks. Not saying that the Clarks aren't great. They are literal living LEGENDS!! But Kim just does something different. There styles are not similar.

[TeeBird504]

I took that from another clip where Donnie McClurkin called her that because she said she wanted to be a Clark. Chill out and stop reading too much into my damn comment.  Peace

[boyofjazz]

Lets not get bitter because YOU chose to NOT clarify your previous statement!! Blessings to ya!

[TeeBird504]

Im not bitter, Im good. As far as clarifying my statement, I didnt think I needed to. If it wasnt clear you shouldnt have commented. Maybe you could have asked for clarity before you decided to education me on the obvious differences in their styles. LOL. be blessed my friend. stay uplifted. peace

[Vocellist2010]

[KevinDukekmd]

I SUPPORT KIM KIM A WHOLE LOT.

[KBCREW]

2:53-2:58 is crazy... how she changed keys like that with the same run...

[RomeyTheOne]

The inventor of the saxophone fashioned its sound from her voice. Lawd ha mussay! lol

[sephyr2006]

[BET93084]

OK!!!! What was that at 2:38 to 2:42!! I promise I would have picked up a table and hurled it right at her! I don't even think she knows what she is going to do but the anointing just flows right through her!!!! OH MY GOD!!! She is truly blessed!

[luvgospelsaangin]

I just dont understand GOD why?!?! LOL Kim is like from another universe, she is an Alien in the midst sent to see how we black folks sing in church gospel circles LOL

[expertonmyself]

I sooooo feel you! I made a comment on some other KB vid, something to the effect about asking God about her when I get to Heaven. *L*

[overQUE]

Her voice is extremely blessed. People are goin to say what they want (refer to the hating comments), she isnt paying any attention to negativity, thats why every song and clip seen on here, sends such a positive and (for me) spiritual vibe! Kim is DOPE!!!! lol

[sunev7]

Kim should record this! This is so hot and stupid!

[alcoholharmony]

Dead @ 2:00!

Kim KNOW SHE BAD!

[HisGraceProphetDLK]

[gastonwife]

Man her runz are like fluid just smooth she doesent even know where her run is going to end ....

[Seedcovers]

POWERHOUSE!

[babyslitzen1]

amazing

[tyhutson08]

She has a very jazzy style of singing. Awesome, Awesome. You Americans are so lucky to have such great singers, I'm from England and we have no good gospel singers here, if we do, their talents are hidden and confined to the church.Thank God for You Tube so we can experience gospel music over here. You guys are an inspiration. It's ashame you had to create Rap and Hip Hop which is destroying music and corrupting the minds of our young black folk over here causing so much killings and violence.

[singingvessel]

Wow! I totally agree with you concerning the corruption of music via the Hip Hop and Rap genres. It's certainly destroying minds young and old. Thanks be to God for pure Gospel music.

[scmn45]

A like I have never heard in gospel music. We should call her the queen of gospel music! love it:)!

[Arianne73]

I agree with you. Kim is incomparable!

[sayqueezy]

she's dope on organ too

[rknox32]

This is my girl...You should listen to her,, She sends messages in every song she sings... She IS OFF THE CHAIN...OFF THE CHARTS TRUST ME

[hurstlatoya]
