Powerful, inspiration music

Now I see why things happen the way they did. Blacks suffered slavery but God was with us thru it all. He used us to teach America how 2 praise & honor Him. Some lost it along the way unaware that the meek shall inherit the Earth. Whoa, America! Watch how u treat those who r least among u. God sits high & looks low. It's time u do right by those who u consider the "minorities". For it's been the prayers of those righteous who God has heard & kept a hand of protection over this nation.

The Fish Singers were considered a "gospel group"?

[jaapdesticker]

@2300skiddo: thanks for the info!!

[2300skiddo]

Actually, the first black Gospel group to sing in the Netherlands was the Fisk Jubilee Singers, in the 1870's. Of course the Fisk singers were not singing in this modern style, but I think that, in view of all they went through and of their enormous contributions to African American music, we should give credit where it's due.

Thanks for the great post!

Very powerful and moving music. It builds to the point that you want to be baptisied again as Professor Bradford becomes convincing.... take me and dip me in the water as none but the righteous shall see God. May you take care of your business today I pray!

My Church Sings This When Saint's Are Getting Baptised.

[dmmrad54]

I come to this video on a daily basis since I discovered it. I love it! I can feel the spirit moving.

[tolojr]

When the chorus came in everyone must have been like "Oh my, what's going on?"

Amen!

[bobobekker]

tell it,tell it just like it is and the Lord will be wit you.

Thanks brother it reminds me for a lot of things for I was by that concert as a boy and it was the firsttime I saw white folks crying

Thanks a lot and the Lord will watch over you

[piotrgibus]

Fabulous, Marion at her best, very good video

[blessedover]

yes lord

[appetancy]

The high point -- Marion's bluesy verse of "A Charge to Keep I Have." Love that sacred, salacious wink!

[kol06]

I agree.  Her growls come out so effortless and natural. It also makes me happy when she is singing that verse. She is showing so much range, high and low, in that short amount of time. Just beautiful.

[schs19947]

It's the anointing!!

[PennTrafford]

Praise God!
