Stretch Out/Praise Break- The Institutional Radio Choir

[227gayle]

Is Pat Shannon on this video? She was my favorite.

[Institutionalkid]

@227gayle She wasnt in the choir in the video. She was such a singer!

[227gayle]

@Institutionalkid

Thank you for your response. Did you know Pat? She was my hero as was the choir when I first heard them in the mid 70's. I used to call the dj and dedicate her song to my grandmother, wishing I could visit the church. After all of these years and now with the internet, I only wish I had this access way back then. I always wanted to meet Pat and am shocked that you say she has long passed. How can I find out more about her?

I rember Bishop JC and Pastor Carl Williams Jr. used to direct the IRC when I first fell in love with choie back in the 70's . My church here in Maryland used to sing many of IRC songs. My God if I were to start naming names, I know I'd miss some one very special who have reached out and touched my heart through the years.....God bless you InstitutionalKid!!!!

[leelee92me]

I would like to know if this is the same choir that sang the song i made a vow to the lord?

[wcta0608]

Was that Steve Jones at 1:23-25 over in the right side of the choir?

[sansaviera]

I grew up in churches like this in NY. We use to tare these songs up! That's how you praise! Just have your break bench money ready we use to say. LOL Can't find too many churches like it today. Its a shame.

[ncilmo]

I am proud to say that this is the wonderful sound I grew up on as a young musician in North Carolina!!! I was the church drummer back then and my father who was and still is the organist taught Stretch Out to our youth choir and of course we use to tare it up in Raeford, NC.

[Institutionalkid]

Well alright!! where are you guys from?

[holyandannointed]

I am from Maple Hill North Carolina, a predominantly black community, and we get crazy for the Lord down here.

I am a member at Greater Saint Paul Holy Church where Bishop F.C.Barnes is the pastor, and I am also a member at heart at Victory Deliverance Temple Church where Bishop Lacy J. Pickett is the pastor.

We can have some "hand clapping foot stomping tongue talking Holyghost sanctified" church down here.

I'm talking 'bout church where the ushers gotta come at you with the passed-out sheet! LOL And if y'all don't know what that is, then y'all ain't got that kinda church! LOL

[holyandannointed]
