Thanks for posting this bro, i remember the days of that anointing! James Cleveland did his version of this as well and we'd go one sunday to the baptist church and hear his version there and the next sunday to the cogic and hear Dr Clark's version. Lol but nobody could match that power and anointing of Dr Clark, not even 10 cogic bishops! Lol say whatever u want, Dr Clark was a powerhouse, her and Twinkie!!!!
Dr Clark often used Linda because she was such an anointed young woman. She would put Linda and Carol Thomas (from Cleveland Oh-at that time) up in the mid night musicals. They both were blind and powerfully anointed. I used to jokingly say Linda didn't know she was white that's why she sang the way she did. But I loved both of those ladies. Anyone know where they are now? I know Carol did a song on one of John P. Kee older VIP albums-heard she moved to the East Coast. Those were the days!
OH LAWD YESSS!! As a kid, I was actually more familiar with the James Cleveland & The Voices Of Cornerstone version of this song (I know y'all heard that one too!) But, I know it's originally a Moss/Clark tune! Either way, classic and beautiful! They honestly don't sing in depth gospel like this anymore!
@athorpe630 churches today seem to nolonger have choirs. my pastor died in 2002 and now this new young idiot pastor at the church took out the choir stand which has been in the church since the 1960s. trying to be like everyone else. churches have gotten away from choirs. singing in the choir was one of the activities that kept the young people in the church. pastors dont realize that removing the choir is one trick of satan. now young people dont have anything much to do in the church.
@721rem...you are so right! We can't keep up with all these trends. It's so true, choirs are one of the most important elements of a church. The choir has to be in tune with the pastor because we sit right behind him and choirs help set the atmosphere for the Word of God that's gonna come from the pastor. Wow, that's just a shame your choir stand is gone. Lord have mercy!
@bkttkb3214 the church today is acting the way the isrealites acted in the wilderness in the old testement days when they wanted a king like all the other nations and not realizing the blessed living providing God they had before them.
churches want to be and look like others when God said we were a "peculiar" ppl. how can the world spot us for help when we look and act and sound like the world. if thats the case, why go to church.
@721rem so very true. America and many of it's churches now resemble Ancient Rome and we all know what happened to that barbaric society. Faith and Works... Prayer and Action are a requirement for the true followers of Christ at this time.
well now we know where bettye nelson get her screamin from even karen use to do it back in the day it sooo similiar to this lady right here i almost thought it was bettye til i read the comments
Yes,,I sat next to her when UNAC 5 came to chicago..she was and will still be remembered..I wonder what city is at now? She needed to have produced her own album!
It seems like it's been 100 years since I've heard this. The Joybells of the St Marks COGIC in Richmond, VA used to sing this back in the day. Yes, we were awesome!!!
This brought back so many memories for me. It was a great nite. And most of us could barely talk by nites end. Thanks for takin' me back down memory lane!
Thank you Johnzoe777 for posting all of your albums. I just happened upon your page and want to Thank God somebody has "THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST" out here. I can't stand this new day junk they call the gospel. Contemporary Gospel? whoever decided to yield to the enemy for contemporary fell from Grace. Contemporary is in contempt of THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST. A little leaven levels the whole lump! Thank God for The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
we used to have this record back when it 1st came out! this is 1 of the many COGIC records that i learned how to play the organ from...THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING
The lady leading this song is the inimitable Linda Pawlovich of California. This caucasian sister is one of the baddest psalmists ever known. She was really relevant back in the good ole days of COGIC. I have several recordings of her singing at the late night musical during the Holy Convocation "Chisca Hotel days".
this lady, is wonderful. I remember she sang with the Voices of Christ, out of Oakland, CA. Back then we use to have church - From Sacramento to San Jose, CA -Concerts at Ray Mack's church, Ephesians, Love Center, Cornerstone and at Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, in San Francisco... Oh what a day... Daryl Coley, Lynette Hawkins, Tramine Hawkins, Walter and of course handsome Edwin Hawkins - the Gospel Cooner.
A fellow from the Southwest Michigan State Choir said he had seen a cassette of it. Are you sure? He seems to be sure of himself. He said they did not make a recording of the Indianapolis Unac, but they did of Chicago. However, even my brother said that no Chicago recording was done. SO there seems to be some confusion about what happened. Thanks.
