Samantha makes me cry in this scene.

[tifflwal]

I remember this one! Gimme a Break, Fame, and Cheers. Great Thursday night lineups...back in the day!

[bromancollins]

Now this is the Gospel I loved growing up! Much respect!!!!

[tifflwal]

@bromancollins I know, right! :-) But I'm laughing at the FOUR people in choir robes. LOL

[bromancollins]

@tifflwal Hey, that's old skool for you. It didn't matter whether it was 2 or 22 people, you had better had those robes on lol! Much Respect!!!!

[Skoolold67]

forget bookman and everybody else!NEIL CAN SING! WHO CARES IF HE'S GAY OR NOT,THIS IS NOT HIS VIDEO...IT'S NEIL CARTER.ANSWER JOHNNY BROWN GUESTIONS ON HIS PAGE.

[MsCHINADOLL79]

This episode made me cry 20+ yrs ago and still today I cry!

[xchethomasx]

i remember i used to get mad as a kid if i missed the opening intro sang by Nell Carter, then would have to wait another whole week before i could hear it again. Remember these were the days before the superb features of cable; and if u were too poor to own a vcr [*raises hand*] u were out of luck.

[maleficentdiva]

Nell we all miss you so much! :) LOVE YOU SWEETIE! Thanks for making us laugh through the years. :)

[Eyan1818]

What a BEAUTIFUL Sound for the song!!!!!!

[PhoenixxxStar]

This was too rushed. It should have been a two-parter. Especially since it deals with the loss of a parent. The writers erred but did right by having Nell sing the classic John Newton (1725–1807) spiritual classic, Amazing Grace, first published in 1779.

[neokid0213]

an amazing performance from an amazing person taken from us all too soon

[cmbsfo]

This was amazing. The best version of Amazing Grace that I have EVER heard.  What an amazing talent!

[tonystheclick]

Happy birthday Nell. We miss you!

[JustNess78]

i lost my father about 5 years ago. this made me think of what he would have said to me in his last words, if u had any =(

[xchethomasx]

wonders if that 4th choir member singing (2nd female) is Alaina Reed-Hall [227]? Does anyone know for sure?

[ivelosthewilltolive]

@xchethomasx the singers are billed as the West Angeles Choir.

[vangoghmatisse1]

AMAZING VOCALS FROM NELL!!!!

[bodyvegas]

My God, what a voice she had!! Gives me chills up and down my spine!! RIP Nell

[wwefreak2003]

Nell Carter had the voice of an angel. Now she's singing in Heaven's Choir! 

[sirfluffy91]

omg! THANK YOU soooo much for posting this video! someone else posted it but deleted it later on so i couldnt view it...this video is so important to me because i feel that nell carter sang the best "amazing grace" ever!!! ...in my opinion =) Please dont delete this video and let the world see this beautiful song sung in the most miraculous way =) thanks again ;)

[VEGAS76GW]

Best versiion of Amazing Grace EVER!!! Sorry Aretha.

[caronji]

I never believed he was anyway. That friend of mine has a way of stretching the truth. He stated Johnny Brown was caught in a hotel room with another man. I'm sure we all would have heard about this long ago. The last time I saw Johnny on tv was on an episode of Martain. I hope he invested or kept his money over the years. Did you know, he was picked to play Lamont on Sanford & Son first. Would have been interesting to see him play Redd Foxx's son.

[caronji]

I never believed that statement anyway. I know his daughter was the wheelchair girl on an episode of Good Times. BTW though, you can be gay and have kids.

[Brieannas21]

@caronji Yes you can be gay and have children, I never said that you couldn't. I just gave a little trivia, nothing much to it. Anyway, Johnny has been married to his wife for a very long time.

[caronji]

A friend once told me that Johnny Brown, he played Bookman on Good Times, was gay. He said he read it in a magazine years ago. Anyone else think this is true?

[Brieannas21]

@caronji That is false, Johnny Brown is Married to a woman, a little trivia- his daughter once guest stared on "Good Times" and "A Different World"

[shydmples]

@Brieannas21 She was on the Jeffersons as well; she played a young adult Louise Mills.

[xchethomasx]

@Brieannas21 more trivia: she played young Louise Jefferson on "The Jeffersons"

[TXbrokeback]

Ms. Carter, I regret I never realized your talent until you had passed. I have to watch this in private because it always brings tears to my eyes. Surely, you are leading a heavenly choir with your powerful, loving voice. Bless you.

[maleficentdiva]

NELL WAS A FANTASTIC ACTRESS! I miss this show, I grew up with it. RIP NELL, we still miss you :)

[GIGina08]

This song always brings me to tears. Nell had a wonderful voice. Such a shame she is gone.

[thefaithone2003]

such a shame that a woman with such talent died wth $11 to her name.

[privatedancer06]

Did 'Kingdom Come" steal this 4 their movie?!

[danpats1]

thumbs up if you got chills when she started singing

[djshorty73]

it was a great show i wish they show it more on tvland

[countnnita]

I love Nell Carter and her voice was unbelievable. She came out with a song and I have been looking all over for it and can't find it. It was not from a play or TV show. I think it was a album but can't find out any info on it.

[trl614]

Awsome voice she had.

[CherylWalls2009]

Nell Carter was awesome!!! This is the greatest version of Amazing Grace I've ever heard!!! What a voice! An amazing lady

[kduideo]

@CherylWalls2009 I AGREE

[ericjfl]

what a voice...what a sensitivity for music.

[amarvinwinansfan]

Does anyone know the episode where Nells ex-husband comes into town she sings this song on there I havent heard since the show

[Dexie78]

Ooooh Lord, sing it Nell, sing it girl! She's in heaven now, an angel who I bet is entertaining and singing for all those up there right now. My mother loved Nell and I'm sure she's still getting goose bumps from that woman's voice! RIP Nell. AMEN!!

[hayli711225]

Nell was one of the best:)R.I.P. Nell

[honeegrrl]

I always thought Samantha had the cutest voice.

[princessrani08]

beautiful voice!!! real music, natural voice

[jamesbnott]

She was great and had a very hard life.

[larryjackson4125]

@jamesbnott yes, she did.... I wonder what happen to her sons that she had adopted.?

[Brieannas21]

@larryjackson4125 Her partner was granted custody of her two boys.

[Smartboy8877]

@Brieannas21

Who was her partner at the time of her death?

[Brieannas21]

@Smartboy8877 I can't remember her name. I remember way back it was said that her partner was also her manager or business manager.

[Smartboy8877]

@Brieannas21

Thank you for the information! I remember hearing about a partner that she took up with after she was divorced from the Jewish man whose name I also do not remember. In any event, I heard all of this shortly after she died. Very sad situation indeed!

[lalatutu123]

@Brieannas21 her partner's name is on wikipedia

[mousefanjen]

[pangie05]

[vince065us]

The eulogy:OUCH

[silverblack]

Anyone else find it a but odd that they would have a funeral in their home? Also, if dude had a heart attack why did they send him home???

[sekou566]

@silverblack black famlies used have twight services in their homes. When I may grandmother died in 1979, my family had her service at her home, but people don't do that anymore.

[DigitalDezinesCEO]

@sekou566 Really? I never heard of people having funerals at home. There was a custom in the south where black people would have the recently deceased body brought back to the house after it had been embalmed and placed in a casket. The body would stay there until the funeral. I recall my grandmother talking about being scared when her father's body was brought back to the house after he died. That was in the 1940's. So glad people don't do that now. lol

[jainae1]

she sang that song. she brought me to tears. RIP Nell Carter.
