Sunday Morning Meetin' Time - The Statesmen

[8aPeach2]

This was back when you used to have to actually have talent to sing professionally. These guys were the best of the best! What beautiful voices

What happened to this style of music?

[jazzygc]

Well, what happened was people turned to advanced technology and short lyricless songs rather than working on developing voices. Most people are more interested in flash instead of the substance. A sign of the times.

Love this song. The church in the background reminds me of the church I attended in my teens. Brings back such wonderful memories.

[donsportal]

They don't sing like this anymore. Jake and Denver at their prime - and the reading by the Big Chief. My, my, my ... that's like a little taste of heaven itself.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written, and performed only the way Jake and the boys could do it. What a wonderful video, thanks for posting and God Bless You!

[HomewoodCedar]

Jake is still singing. Jessy Dixon and Jake sing Get Away Jordan on You Tube video.

[josh1524]

You are incorrect. Jake Hess passed away on January 4, 2004.

[Tenspeeder]

Too bad he was delegated to being on those Gaither videos for years.
