"Aint No Grave" By Russ Taff (FULL)

[barbarastarling1982]

It's a good thing I wasn't there! I would have pulled the rafters down in excitement for my Lord!

God bless you Russ!

[luvstahoe]

I can't believe they arn't on their feet & dancing in the aisles

[vaparati85]

I'm baptist and I love russ I met him at one of their concerts in Dallas and he is so amazing... I think that there are slot of people that don't understand it is ok to rejoice... As I've heard them called they're pew Christians...

[MsAzlana]

This song give me so much hope... My mom went to heaven a few years ago, but when she hears that trumpet sound, she's going to get up out of that ground!!!! PRAISE GOD.

Thank you, Russ for singing this with so much assurance and joy!!!

[reneecoppedge]

The best singer of all time, NO DOUBT !!!!

[JeriRose2]

Sorry o keep sticking. What DVD is this on, so I can buy it?

[JeriRose2]

What DVD would this be n, s i can buy it?

[Imaginone]

I imagine this is just about what I will be doing or worse - jumping up and down and be so happy as i realize to the fullest extend what my Lord Jesus has done for me! Hallelujah!!!! Glory to my GOD!!!!.

[59riggs]

Love this song!!! At 1.52, that dark haired lady is the most gorgeous I've ever laid eyes on !!!!

[harvell59]

poor white folks. they just cannot clap in sync!

[lebongo2]

Joyful, powerful and rousing! Love it :)

[doginthecap]

i'm starting to think southern rock/soul is where it's at.

[Marz5004]

Man, what was the crowd thinking? How will they act when they see Jesus? Will they just sit there, or will they get excited about it?

[footballman1958]

I love this song!!



[HeForeverLives]

Wooooohoooo there ain't no grave gonna hold this body down!!!

[GCL777]

This is Odd-- Back in the 1950's they called that Devil music...hummmm...Oh how times have changed...I reckon Jerry Lee can finally relax now since now days the music they once use to call 'Devil" music are something they are calling "Holy Ghost" music.....No matter how you cut it...That is flat out ROCK AND ROLL !

[memawshere]

I SURE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THOSE PEOPLE KEPT SITTING DOWN! I AM ALONE IN FRONT OF MY COMPUTER & SITTING IS JUST *NOT* AN OPTION...PRAISE GOD....WHEWWWWWWW

[RalphVasquez49]

me too!!! Glory!

[roustaaly]

yes, how do people sit with such power of Holy Ghost right in their presence...

[PentecostalPuppets]

@1:27 "Do You have any Pentecostal out there?" Yeap right here!!! If there was a few you'd seen them running the aisle!!!

[xchurchboyx]

Yea I like how he didn't care of the pol was praising or not he was! Ohh God is worthy!! :)

[neverunderstoodatall]

[MrScoobdog64]

That was great!!! I'm so glad he didn't need the congregation's encouragement!! What was wrong with them!!!!! They seem like They've never seen Praise before!! PRAISE GOD FOR THIS BROTHER'S SPIRIT!!

[jonceballos]

Wonderful! Thank you Hoover, and keep up the great thing you do here!

[sandeekin]

Love Russ Taft's stuff... heard him as a baby Christian... but the rock version.. which I cannot seem to find anywhere... but love his lyrics!

[memawshere]

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW OR WHY THESE PEOPLE ARE STILL SITTING???? HOW POWERFUL....

[IrishConnie]

Sure does make you wanna dance in the Spirit! WOW! FANTASTIC!

[EastofForever]

did you see that grey squirrel on that man's head near the end??

[purplemidnite17]

Thanks Hoover LOVE this song. Do you know what if any church he was raised in. Not that it matters, accepting Jesus is all it takes. It's just like he sounds like a good old Church of God Cleveland, Tenn guy.

[Dosblade]

WOW AMEN!.. NO WAY I could be setting for that.. Amen Bobbytoo

[musicman5709]

Medicine for a soul wound.

[kkms49931]

Russ Taff..What an anointed singer..Wish I had been there!!

Judy Davidson

[atonementwHm]

Amen Hoover!!

[brogum]

Gotta love Russ!! He's so amazing!

[mbrucker2]

I saw Russ do this several years ago here in Long Beach California and he came into the crowd and jumped up on a chair and when he did he almost lost his footing and almost fell.. but never missed a beat while singing... You hav to love Russ Taff.

[Morlsmhc]

Russ being Russ...love this song...aint no grave that will be holding my body down for sure!!! thanks again for posting

[Isingtheblues4u]

I love this and the guy on the bles harp is rockin' it! Mike Farris does a killer version of this as well. Check him out.....

[barbarajful]

what gaither dvd is this on, got to have it. Have seen it before, but always ready to see it again. I agree with you mjsmaling, don't know how anyone was still sitting

[martyb5154]

You gotta be graveyard dead not to respond to this!!!

[camari232]

I used Russ Taff' music to train for the Olympic Games in 1988.....

What soul....what soul.....love him....

Would really love to get him to open for Lifehouse in a different venue, where people would just unleash their passion for Jesus and his music.....AMEN???

[tamaman7777]

I saw RT at Winter Jam a few years ago with the Newsboys and New Song, He stole the show with this one. He jumps from the stage on to a monitor then disappeared then the spot light picked him up in the upper level of the coliseum then he ran back to the stage and finished the song. People were rolling on the floor!

[jimdegin]

I'm a blatant atheist, and even I thought that was amazing

[flumpylala]

This used to be my former church, Whitewell Tabernacle Belfast, N. I.!!!!

[UPCIpreacher]

My my my! aint no Pentecostal church that could stayed seated during this one! Whew! We would a tore it up!

[yourstrulymindy]

What an awesome performance - You could tell Russ was feeling HIM - Even I couldn't stay seated - what was up with that audience?

[jonmikal]

i cant believe no one was moved enough to get on their feet!!!!

[1gws47]

@jonmikal I can't beleive it either, I would have stood up at the first moment. Song makes me glad, because it's true!

[guidav123]

once a rocker always a rocker! praise God

[Masterroofio32]

God bless Russ Taff!! The Holy Spirit just oozes out of him! Praise God!

[Nancydrewfan17]

I love this song!

[jrzy49]

He, he. They looked so surprised when he went into the crowd. Russ Taff is one of a kind after all! Amazing song!

[evanwaller]

RUSS TAFF IS AMAZING!! he came to my church for my pastors birthday and sang this song. He got the whole church movin. He is AMAZING!!!!!

[matthewetta]

love to see ol' pentecostal Russ up there! He's one of my favorite artists to hear live; he's so energetic and sincere.

[crystal3241]

Absolutely wonderful in every way!! God bless him.

[Supercogger]

I saw Russ for the first time in Columbia SC. at a Billy Graham crusade, the whole place was up on their feet. He really should go on last because the rest of the singing was not close to what he did there that day. Love Russ and that song!

[rafhenlow]

We have just had the pleasure of Russ Taff preaching & singing at our Baptist Church in Basildon,Essex. How wonderfull that such a well known, in the U.S., singer would accept our invite to sing & preach at our church. Great to see him, hear him sing, & to hear his message, that Jesus loves us. Amen.

[mjsmaling]

Don't know how the people in the crowd can keep sitting down! Get excited just listening to the guy!

[jonmikal]

i agree! i'd have been all over the place :)

[virgarp]

Like most American Gospel artists Gaither concerts have a habit of using playback music, while mixing it up with a single guitar and drums.- I've had the privilege of listening to Russ Taff live, and he is a fantastic artist. - As the crowd, I would also be sitting down at that performance. God Bless him though :)

[jdarlington1310]

@mjsmaling must be a Baptist church...LOL

[mississippi976]

@mjsmaling Some of them were looking at him like he's was nuts but, I'd say here was drunk on the annointing ogf His Holy Spirit. I just wish I had more of that boldness! Praise God,Jesus is Lord! I love where Bill says at the end,"Why not?" Why not indeed. Thanks Hoover4000!

[101GirlCountry]

makes me long for my heavenly home

[janjaapbats]

When I go there I will meet my Jesus face to face!

[marcannekn]

Makes me long for campmeeting!!

[sbasmaling]

I keep coming back here to listen to this and it is just so encouraging each time. I love how he just gets right into the Holy Spirit, let's Him take control and just goes! Russ, doesn't care what those people are thinking about him, he is worshiping the Lord! Hallelujah! I'm so glad Russ does this! And I'm so happy I'm Pentecostal! :O)

[drmusc]

whoops, 5 grammys - 3+2 (;-})

[drmusc]

For those who haven't heard Russ B4, he has 4 grammys - 3 from a fantastic group from the 70's and 80's called "The Imperials" and 2 as a solo artist. He's been through a lot, but gives God all glory. I loved the Imperials 30 yrs ago.

[swckcd]

This is Russ at his best old school.

It looks like he did in old days but no long hair.

One of the best.

This is good but water grave takes the cake.

that has to be his best song ever

[60sHippieChick]

Agreed re Water Grave. No song written to date can top that one, as far as I'm concerned.....grabs you from the first line....."In my house there's been a mercy killing.....Chillbumps every time I listen to it. I truly believe that the HS sings through Russ Taff!

[sbasmaling]

I LOVE this! I'm dancing away just listening! lol

[viletantrum]

This was funny. I never heard of this singer but, he woke them up from their slumber. Looks like most were planning on where they were gonna meet for lunch after the service! hahahahahaha!!! Church is suppose to be an event where you learn how to become closer to God not sleep.

[jlafred]

Awesome!!!!! Anyone know where i could see him in person? What a blessing!!!

[douglasrader35]

i love this song!!!!!! and yes there is no grave gonna hold me down PRAISE GOD

[royalcoat1]

HAHAA, All them Baptists look scared, lol

GREAT RENDITION!

[metropolisimages]

Russ knows what time it is. That was an awesome performance. When I first heard this song on The Apostle soundtrack, I fell in love with this song. Awesome. \m/

[AJRigney]

i know him!

[l60rt]

Russ is the real deal. You can tell some of the Gaither crowd (the singers not just the audience) were somewhat stunned by this performance. Even old Jesse Dixon looks dumbfounded! Russ likes to push it to the edge. What a great song!

[geeknerd101]

I love Russ Taff's singing I just wish he would go back to his roots of pentecost

[poppimds007]

I meet Russ @ a New Life For Youth Service In Richmond Va in 2007,along with Nicky Cruz.They where awesome.I believe Russ is a Graduate of their addiction program in Beaverdam Va.

[ifreshworld101]

holy crap. this sounds nothing like of what a choir at my school sang. that was not close to country. they were amazing and sounded nothing like it. but this is really good too.

[YamersLexx]

I have a VCR tape of a Christmas concert. Wonderful! It has a 40s feel to it.

[harmonlocke]

Thats our hope and our future, no grave no death, no darkness no devil, only LIFE Life in Jesus forever and ever. We will be changed in a moment, corruptable for incorruptable. Death we make fun of you- where`s you sting? Your victory? It is finished and just began. Our life is Jesus and He is our resurection.

Come Lord Jesus and take us Home.. Life is meant for You and You are our destiny. Do it Lord..No Grave.. Come up here my Bride and enter your prepared from the beginning your eternal HOME

[Bobbytoo]

AMEN! Look out I'm about to do a HOLY GHOST

dance!

[Mirtika]

Saw Russ live many years ago and he performed this. GREAT!!! Still have my cds from way back.Still sound good.

Thanks,

M

[YamersLexx]

He is Wonderful! I used to have alot of his music now I can't find them. Boohoo Can you name some of his solo work so I can order some Please

[777HeavenboundGirl]

YES,YES,YES,YES,YES.Thank GOD,for we shall

be changed!.I know I'm going home to Heaven

Thank You LORD JESUS.This just makes my soul want to jump right out of my body.

[cheryljane]

I will say it again - Is it any wonder the devil fights Russ so hard? What an anointed, anointed servant of the Lord!

[tinasattler1]

wow glorey to the lord

[777HeavenboundGirl]

I love this.And isn't it true!.

[777HeavenboundGirl]

This just makes my spirit want to come right

out of my body.Sing it brother,sing it.

Love it.

[dsjk94]

i love this song. We Penticoastals know how to sing for the Lord. When the anoiting hits, you just can't help but get excited!!! Thanks for the song

[grab322]

I have never felt a spirit like you feel when you hear and see this video

[mogogirl67]

Russ is, hands down, one of the greatest singers of all time. I have seen him live several times and he's amazing. His "Russ Taff" Debut album in the 80's is still one of the best ever. It's a shame his secular music career was not better supported by his so-called "fans". It's a shame to deprive a wider audience from that voice!! And all of these comments from someone who considers herself an atheist!!! Russ is just simply the BEST! Thanks for years of joy Russ!

[mogogirl67]

Russ Taff is one of the best singers in the world of ANY type of music. His debut "Russ Taff" album in the 80's is still one of my favorites of all time. To see him live is unbelievable! And all of these comments from someone who considers herself an atheist. But he is, imho, one of the greatest singers anywhere. I find it shame that his secular music career was not supported by his so-called "fans".  It's a shame to deprive a larger audience of his talents! Thanks Russ for years of joy.

[allofme4him]

aint it great that this is not just fiction? but reality? the man who wrote this was a very influential in the pentecostal holiness movement.. of which I am glad to say Im part of! Bro. Claude Ely

[nyckiewoo]

I agree, I am also very glad to say I'm part of the Pentecostal Holiness movement, while I'm too young to have been personally influenced by Bro. Claude Ely; I've have heard the stories of people who have been. I am glad that this is reality and I am extremely proud of my heritage!

[renowireless]

This man is a blessing in my struggle with life.

[veelighted7]

Yes, for me too. I have been going through many different trials at once, health; job and more..but this song and Russ' voice has touched me tonight.

I hope you are better today.

Blessings, Vee

[alex88WO]

I saw Russ this past Saturday night in Shreveport Louisiana,Ive been a huge fan for years,but to see/hear him in person was amazing.Trust me,he is the real deal.

[olseaman]

Very good job,Russ...keep it up...

[sahara087]

[sgambill]

I LOVE this video. I can't understand how anyone can sit still during this song. WOW! No grave will hold our bodies down when that trumpet sounds.

Which Homecoming video is this one? I would like to get a copy of it for myself. Thanks so much for posting this for us to share.

[Retrokid007]

It's from Irish Homecoming

[bahamain9]

[rabbit86musician]

Wow im not a christian but this gave me chills and actually brought me too tears...

[86lovelost]

it is odd that they are sitting..

[uapdcop]

No doubt - that boy has it. Oh yes.

[byfaith116]

Knowing how far this man has come in his personal relationship with Jesus Christ makes watching this just all the more inspiring. This is a man who believes and KNOWS who he belongs to - and is rejoicing over it. Bring it Russ!

[living4god07]

I don't understand how the crowd was sitting! I would've been up dancing!!!!!!!

[bigroy38]

maybe they were in Lubbock or North Austin

[living4god07]

LOL. True

[kozgear]

Holy Ghost Batman!

[afmurdock]

WOW! This really makes me want to get up and shout! Really reviving of my spirit. . . THANK GOD FOR RUSS TAFF!

[SamTheChoirMan]

I've never seen such emotion and energy put into a song! Not even by David Phelps!

[lamewalking]

Thats a shouten song by the pentecostal holiness preacher Claud Ely........Russ is the BEST

[amjoli]

which homecoming is this from?

[amjoli]

Just a question, dont take it wrong, but why is it that all the Baptist folk look kinda scared? like "Oh no, there that Pentecostal man going off again!" Lol!

[s0nicrazr]

looks like me in my baptist church lol

"why don't he just sit still?"

Some of 'em need to let the Holy Ghost get a hold of them! Hallelujah!

[amjoli]

The group isnt the same without him! I sure do miss that Pentecostal praiser!

[Jenniferperu]

woww I like it! God bless u

[thoughtfulnes]

Well let see, does this man of God has what it takes to deliver a Holy Ghost song or what... God Bless brother Russ taff... That I do pray for, this what we'll all experience when God sends his son Jesus to split those eastern skies, and there be no grave that'll hold our bodies down...may God Bless everyone with salvation and hope...

[jc4bc]

This is just totally awesome!! You don't have to be Pentecostal to jump up and shout with this action! This should wake up the dead!!!

[bernising]

This singer has the annointing and blesses everyone when he sings

[linniescoby]

i love this song and its so true thanks for putting it on here

[sanangel54]

great song........sanangel

[helivestubes]

Whooooot Raise a Joyful noise Christians! But get some rythum too! lol

God Bless!

[helivestubes]

I aint Pentecostal but i had to get up and dance to this! Jesus is so wonderful!

[helivestubes]

Jesus Rocks!

[helivestubes]

† Jesus Rocks!

[gospelsgr8]

I echo what billygirl said - I've already given directions I want this played at my funeral (hopefully not for a long time unless the Lord calls me home) Dying is a graduation time if you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. What fun - great stuff - Russ really enjoys what he does and he does it soooo well :o)

[billygirl67]

I've always loved this song...I'd want this song sung at my funeral...I want my funeral to be a shout'n Holy Ghost time...I don't want no cryin'cause I'm gonna be in a better place...I'm so glad that Jesus Christ died for me...Amen

[mountainwomannc1]

wooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!­!!

[mariecs1969]

AWESOME!

[Bobbytoo]

Thanks Russ!!

[jennifer4taiwan]

Awesome song! Russ does awesome on it! I'm Pentecostal too, so this song just fantastic!!

[drumsnworship]

still like Russ' stuff, listened to some of his stuff as a kid growing up and would give anything to find his albums online... you go Russ!

[MarseilleAube]

I definitely want this song sung at my funeral !!!!! It would be awesome if Russ could sing it there

[sanangel54]

one day those in the graves will rise up and we will all go to meet our savior......that will be a gathering of the saints....sanangel

[LaurenRenee087]

Thank God for Pentecostals ;)

[marshallfootbll]

Sing it Russ! Sing it! THERE AIN'T NO GRAVE GONNA HOLD THIS BODY DOWN!

[4745brown]

What a performance God`s Spirit filled Russ to the brim djbntexas

[houseygirl]

This song is also on the soundtrack for the movie The Apostle, with Robert Duvall. Russ is awesome!

[LaeDeeLuVzJESUS]

Agreed how can they sit there with the power of God going of in that place with this song.... What homecoming is this?

[hoover4000]

its the irish homecoming :)

[hoover4000]

i wondered the same thing, me personally i'd be swinging from the ceiling LOL. Maybe it's an irish thing? I dont mean that insutling the irish, me being irish myself. I just mean maybe the beat just threw them back a little or something, I remember when my mom and I first watched this we were a little suprised that the beat was so "hard" but we really liked it.

[LaeDeeLuVzJESUS]

Hehe....Yes its powerful, No offence to Irish but that could be right.

[mijakamaj]

How those folks can be so reserved while Russ is singing this song is beyond me! The whole "theme" of this song is what Christians are striving for...Thank God for Pentecostal Russ!

[sugarft1]

Russ Taff is AWESOME! such an anointed singer - love all his stuff!

[txronda]

Great Video! I've been a fan of Russ' since he sang with the Imperials in the 70's. He made some super solo albums in the 80's. I did not care for his country-flavored works after that, but he is undeniably one of, if not the most powerful singers of Gospel music EVER!
