Gospel All Stars! - Mary Don't You Weep

[hotpapa225]

I posted a similar comment (last year, I think) but I just want to reiterate... Lynette's performance/ministry at the end of this rendition was phenomenal!!! Wow, what a powerful voice! She murdered it!

[aepps20012001]

Wanted to shout out to Andre and Sandra Crouch too. They put there foot in this song too!!!! Love it!!

[aepps20012001]

Naw That's SANGING!!!!!!! I wore this VHS tape out (til it broke) back in the day. Could not get enough of Marvin Winans and Tremaine Hawkins part. Cissy brought me to tears in the opening, so elegant. They all were great. Sure wish Rance was there!!...

[msmillievanili]

I have this on VHS. Yes it is that old. I love this.

[msmillievanili]

I love you Tremaine Hawkins...sister you can blow!

[MrKiidArmani]

Ahhhhhhhhh I LOVE this !!!

[javileo07]

Tramaine Hawkins and Marvin Winans tore it up!!

[yonkcity]

The names/souls/voices on that stage leave my head SPINNING.  The amount of God's given gift being shared and witnessed in this 7-plus minute piece is surely proof of The Heavenly Father.

[juici29]

Cissy Houston the best!juici29

[SilverAdonis]

Thats Luther Vandross at the end in the tux waving his hands.

[skinnerboyz]

@SilverAdonis I have this on original VHS, and never knew that ! I saw it when it original aired and have watched it many time over the years and never caught Luther at the end! I will be looking for him now. Thanks for the tip , it's a great clip I never get tired of watching !

[DaKINg7771]

where's daryl coley?

[Darkel1992]

@DaKINg7771 I was wondering did recognize that he was not present for this performance more so than that The Meeting of God's chosen voices. He would have been a great addition.

[MrSoulshock4444]

BREATHTAKING!

[ThankGodforUTube]

Wow for Ms. Cissy Houston...

[ekmayo]

I was born in 1987 so I wasn't even born yet but I am really feeling this..

[debgirl12000]

I saw this when this was performed the first time, and I still cannot believe it! Cissy Houston was incredible! The holy spirit was in charge that night!

[timothymoten]

my god my god!!!!! when we all get up there in that city!!!! oh my lord! i'm hittin the floor!!! can you imagin when we all get up there!!!! over yonder!!!!!!! lord have mercy!

[mzfuse09]

this is music!!! Wow

[kklil7ward]

All we're missing is Karen Clark Sheard and Rance Allen!!!!!!!!!!

[DetroitLives313]

@kklil7ward I'll give you an AMEN to that! I love them both! 

[debgirl12000]

@kklil7ward >>Preach now! They also need Yolanda Adams, Jennifer Holiday and Jennifer Hudson! Great God almighty, this is incredible. I lost the tape of this and I am so glad this was downloaded on here!

[aepps20012001]

@kklil7ward I agree...Karen and Rance would complete it and knock it out the park...This classic is breath taking.

[Pinkys0oLA]

I've watched this at least 50 times....absolutely AMAZING!!!!

[Pinkys0oLA]

i hate to have to write it like this ....but i cant say it no other way "DEY TOW DIZ SONG UP"!

[fabmthomas]

LORD HAVE MERCY!!!!!!

[aepps20012001]

Can't get enough of this CLASSIC!!!!!!

[1Chantellz]

@kateclay100 I believe it was either 1986 or 1987 based on Vanessa Bell Armstrong's hair style. It was exactly like her album cover.

[1Chantellz]

Everyone pray for Aretha Franlkin, she had surgery for ancreatic cancer. I know Vanessa Bell Armstrong is going to be shaken by this. She is one of her favorite singers.

[1Chantellz]

Vanessa bell armstrong hair was kicking it. She can style that hair do in 2011. People should stick with hair styles that fit them. I can tell this hair dew was from the Best IN Me album. U go girl!

[SWDetboy]

I don't consider myself a Christian. I Just Love God. But I Appreciate the passion of gospel singers & I realize all these Bible Beating Singers Are True Legands. The Spice Of Life. God Bless. This was cool....

[Chasson0318]

Looking at this and the Soul Train Music Awards of today??

[mike19621000]

i wonder what year was this made?

[andewill01]

Gospel Music you can FEEEEEEEL!!

[slacker0897]

Ok Cissy didn't even have to try for those notes to come out!!!

[TheUteWarrior]

Amen!!! may the Peace of God be with You all,

DELUCCI, Ute Nation

[DetroitLives313]

[debgirl12000]

@TheUteWarrior Thank you for your post! We definitely cannot give up! God is there for us always. If we give up, it is over! I was raised in the church. Daddy was a minister so I remember going to church during the week and on Sundays and singing in the choir. I miss those days.

[1Chantellz]

Vanessa was the badest thang up on that stage!

[Prolife29]

[fisherman1022]

OFF DA CHAIN! ONE OF THE GREATEST GOSPEL PERFORMANCES EVER!  Soul Train Awards 1987 had to save this one to the computer.

[mycalling52]

Now, this is Gospel music!

[soothe815]

Footage of healthy & slim Ronald Winans capped off w/a quick shot of Luther looking the same before they made their transitions. CLASSIC!!!!

[aepps20012001]

Marvin Winans and Tremaine Hawkins Betta SANG!!! They WERE ALL superb!! Seems like Rance Allen shoulda been there too. RI.P. Ron Winans (and Walter Hawkins) !!!

[halaluja101]

Yes I enjoyed this is rare and priceless masterpiece. Thanks for posting

[iknowdasright]

Edwin Hawkins is SUCH a Woman!!!

[40226hwc]

@iknowdasright

Be Very Careful Of Putting your Mouth On People

We're Not Put here to Judge & When JESUS Comes Back & that will be soon, He & He Only will JUDGE-----Until Then Seek GOD'S Face, For When U Seek GOD'S Face There will U Find HIS Mouth Also---let Us Pray for 1 another Not Misjudge Nor Judge Each Other May GOD Bless & Keep US

[hotpapa225]

@40226hwc , I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT!!! :)

[TJCollins21]

I love 'em all! Shirley (of course) shut it down and Tremaine came in after Vanessa and shut it down again.

[MIMI88998899]

This was and still is the best gospel collaboration ever!

[TwinPower93]

I remember seeing this over my God Mothers house I loved this song

[roxandra71]

[DeZZyFMuLLA09]

[DetroitLives313]

@DeZZyFMuLLA09 You are so very welcome. Thank you for watching and thank him for today!

[ekmayo]

@DeZZyFMuLLA09 Good Lord.. 1987 was my birth year.

[debgirl12000]

@DeZZyFMuLLA09 >>>Wow was this in 1987?? My oldest child was 2 years old! LOL! She loves this to death now along with my other younger kids! They all sing in the church choir. I grew up in the church and sang as well in the choir! This is amazing and I forgot about if they did this today with the same people plus some new ones who are now older. Jennifer Hudson, Jennifer Holliday, Fantasia, Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, and Mary, Mary! Can you imagine that?

[tankhead62]

thanks for posting this video i had not seen this video over ten plus years. now this is excellence gospel music. we don't hear this kind gospel music anymore, this is from the soul. i don't believe we will see this group of gospel stars again together on one stage. May God richly bless you! This video is a classic...

[DetroitLives313]

@tankhead62 Thank you so much and thanks for watching. You too have a blessed day my friend!

[Olavria]

[javileo07]

Go on Miss Tramaine Hawkins with your bad self. To God be the glory.

[JayEm86]

If only Inez was onstage, she would've shut it down!

[kreyzeekev]

They just showed up and sweated out that stage, honey! All kinda hollerin' and misbehavin'....love it!

Will somebody please put a fan on ms vanessa, cuz she too hot!

I live for edwin hawkins' silky smooth perm!

[theclient2k]

all i can say is KarenClark u betta sang....U too Ms Cissy

[ShangoJamal]

@theclient2k Uhhhh, baby???....

Karen Clark is nowhere to be found in this video clip.  Bless ya heart

[theclient2k]

I know lol I was paying homage to her cause she should have been along with her sisters this was during the time she had to be hospitalized due to her high blood pressure all the GREATS of Gospel were there I was giving her a shout out but thanks Im not that crazy...well I am jus not this time lol

[ShangoJamal]

@theclient2k Gotcha! lolol

Of course she more than made up for it just two years later when she levelled the place with her solo on LEAN ON ME.

The Soul Train Awards hasn't seen anything like it since, and that was 21 years ago. Amen?

[theclient2k]

Ok well let me check that out, also someone posted Jesus is a love song with her and her sisters and she literally holds a note for 5 minutes

[uprayup]

OMG! I was looking for this video. Ms. Cissy really sung her part. I love this woman dearly. If fact all did a magnificent job ministering music. Is that Ron Winans?

[hotpapa225]

Thanks so much for posting this!! I saw this when it originally aired back in the "80's and I recorded on VHS. Somehow I misplaced the cassette,so it's really nice to see this clip again! I enjoy hearing all of the vocalists but I especially love the way Lynette Hawkins finishes the song!!!

[jsm426]

Sing Cissy Houston!!!!The best high note singer...wow now we see where Whitney got it from..

[upclose22]

I'm loving this, I just adore the Winan "brothers". Vanessa Bell Armstrong was phenomenal. Just overall beautiful. I remember this aired. Thanks for posting it and bringing back great memories.

[devantecooley]

all they needed was the lady who defined this song Inez Andrews to show up and she sho-nuff wouldve showed out especially around this time when she was still belting out them crazy notes and runs like no body business she still does taday but she def. wouldve have showed out on this show

[chynna722]

U better sang Rev. Shirley ! I gotta turn this off b4 I start slappin sumbody n runnin around this house!

[kreyzeekev]

lol, you better tell the truth, now! I just finished my second lap round my living room...glory!

[elsinorejoe]

Where was Inez? Thats her signature song. She would have wiped them out!

[hoseacollins93]

WHOEVER PLANNED THIS IS A GENUIS

[FavorShown25]

Sang Vanessa doggone it

[rch1jr]

the clothing of the 80's was horrendous. Thats y when I see kids today who weren;t even alive in the 80's wearing all those bright neon jeans and sneakers, I cringe

[JaySkulk]

What year was this done? Was it on some awards show? I saw something like this back in 1987 when I was living in Seattle. It grabbed me so hard that I called my mother back in Missouri and told her to tune in to the show right now! I had tears coming out of my eyes and I'm only a Christian bear.

Before I devour you, I will say a prayer for you. This gathering will never happen again.

[wesmotown]

this was done in 2001 when they decided to broadcast the Grammys after 911 happened. This was the last performance of the evening totally captivating the audience.

[Quadmom2005]

Nah..definitely not in 2001. I remember seeing it live and I was in high school at the time. I graduated in '88....this is more than 20 yrs old.

And it was the Soul Train Awards, not the Grammys!

[JaySkulk]

It was the 1987 Soul Train award show. Youtube won't let me post the link to the show. So just google Soul Train Award show 1987 and you will see their names listed. :-)

[Rmasai]

This was done in the late 80's, around 1987.

[hoseacollins93]

WHOEVER HAD THIS IDEA IS A GENUIS

[70tlee]

Thank you so much for uploading this. I have been looking for this for years.

[mesmith24]

This is awesome... I had this on tape... if  I look hard enough i may still have it

[attillagr]

Wow! I remember when I first saw this - I think it was the Soul Train Awards...as powerful today as it was then. Many thanks to whoever posted it here.

[aepps20012001]

Classic!!!Thanks for posting!!

[DetroitLives313]

It surely is and I am just thankful that I can share it. Thank you for watching.

[jsm426]

Sing Cissy!!!Thats where whitney houston got her blessing..

[Quadmom2005]

SO glad to have found this again. I remember recording this on VHS back in they day. Talk about havin' church..up in the Soul Train Awards! That's alright!! lol

Thanks for posting!

[sixfobrutha]

Like, OMG!!!! I remember the 1st Annual Soul Train Awards, and this was a BEAST of a performance back then. Vanessa, Tramaine and Shirley WRECKED SHOP!!!!!

[damnitcarol]

Found this video again after failing to save the last time. Play it at least 6 times a day. One of my mom's favorites. These people can sing!! You'll find yourself singing this without realizing it!

[njharris27]

[pbreanna123]
