[ZoeskiiSC]

MY GOD MY GOD...THIS BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES...

GOD SPECIALIZES, YES HE DOES!

[alphashed]

Minister Rodgers thank you so much for this video.  Sis. Griffin is a very special woman with a very special message. She personifies the person who has been on their death bed of affliction and prayed and believed and was victorious through her Faith in our beloved Savior, Jesus Christ.

[snuka12000]

GLORY! GLORY! GLORY!

[spencerhighschool]

[tc1073chicago]

My father Rev. James Reynolds, Jr. of Chicago, IL used to sing that song and have Commonwealth Baptist Church ROCKIN. Watching this recording brings back those memories. Rest In Peace "Daddy"

[tallbaby40]

Is that Joe Ligon at 0:32

[elsinorejoe]

If this doesn't move you . . . buy a oneway ticket to the nearest cemetery.

[bowiehs]

amen, lol you are right.

[jddrew1000]

If I'm not mistaken, she sang w/ the Caravans for a couple of years. 1954 album (center)

[San47di]

1990s, the number of former Roberta Martin Singers began to dwindle, with the deaths of James Lawrence in 1990, Gloria Griffin, Myrtle Scott, and Robert Anderson in 1995, Norsalus McKissick in 1997, Bessie Folk in the late 1990s, Archie Dennis in 2001, and Eugene Smith on May 9, 2009.

[spencerhighschool]

GLORY BE GOD, Thats alright

[samuelchampagne]

Where were all these videos performed at and how did they get all these people together? Simply amazing!!!! I love it, keep posting more. This takes us back to how it used to be. True Gospel at it's best! Glory be to God!!!!

[chuckli33]

77 miracles... You Are Soooo Right. Praise Almighty GOD!

[dougiemac622]

I love this lady!! I was informed by gospellin that Sister Gloria Griffin is the voice behind "The King Is Coming" record by Rev. Maceo Woods Concert Choir. That song has impacted my life more than I can express. All these years later I finally get to put a face to the voice. Chicago is the blesseEST city in the nation!!! Thank you gospellin for sharing your knowledge, and minjimmierodgers for doing what you both do so very well.

[77miracles]

Where's the Kleenex?

[JayEm86]

Eugene Smith was a legendary man, one of the last pioneers to go on. I'm grateful that me and rowoches had the opportunity to talk to him on the phone on April 21, 2009 to wish him an early happy birthday. It was our only conversation with him. I was saddened to hear of his death a few weeks later, but I was glad I got the chance to talk with him, and I was also glad to be able to attend his homegoing services and see Chicago gospel in person. I can truly say "ain't nothin' like Chicago gospel!"

[mrsrayndolph]

Eugene Smith just passed May 9th of this year

[BaptistBoi]

R.I.P. Eugene Smith...one of the many Legends in the Gospel Industry to go home to be with the Lord within the past year or so!!!!

[neKadmiel]

GOD SPECIALIZES, but also Richard specializes...!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aboutme28]

this song is it for me.....my God

[wcta0608]

doc

rodgers, you probably have but I dare you to count how many CHICAGO folk participated in this project (don't even count the ones ho came from other places to Chi, justthe ones who had a foundation here (I'm in Gary so I can say here lol)...man this is great to see wow, you always do great.

[icemikeco]

my pastor is in the back!!!!!!!!!!! go head on wood

[mrsrayndolph]

and by the way, 4 those who don't know this bit of information, Roberta Martin didn't write God Specializes, Gloria Griffin did..and if you listen to the older version of it, you could tell the difference btwn Roberta and Gloria's voices.

[Hiw333]

she is a testimony of God power. One lung wonder

[54spiritedwill54]

this is awesome

[jtkalehua]

Hey is that Joe Ligon at 0:31?

[dnldsteele]

omg just like the old church i grew up in PRAISE GOD!!!!

[PLATINUMFIYAH]

Yes Lord!

[jholyghosthead]

Lord, everytime i hear her at 5:23 say "he's already done", it takes me out of here!!!!

[JayEm86]

I read that Roberta Martin's style influenced Richard Smallwood's style of piano playing so much, that the Martins chose him to play for them during their big 1981 reunion concerts at the Smithsonian. And listening here, you can hear Roberta all through his playing. Roberta had to have been looking down, just smiling.

[ApropheticVoice]

He'll do what no other power, nothing but holy ghost power can do!!!! I love this song!

[jessedidine]

cette video fortifie et rassure.

[minjimmierodgers]

merci et un dieu bénissent !

Elder J.K. Rodgers

[capdog360]

God does specialize and he can do what is impossible in human eyes. I don't care what other folk say, God can handle even the impossible. He will work it out for his people. It's a piece of cake for God what man can't even figure out.

[sunshine53lyric]

I've seen what GOD can do when he spared my son's life from a gunshot wound at close range to the head and is still alive to learn the goodness of God five years ago. He really SPECIALIZES in our life. Thank you Jesus!!!!!!!!

[mrsrayndolph]

i've been through enough to know that God specialized in m life...Thanks to the grace of God...

[sunshine53lyric]

HE is WONDERFUL

[kayphif]

OMG, this is a Blessing to hear, the testimony, of what God has already done,thank you

[tallbaby40]

That looks like JOE LIGON from the MIGHTY CLOUDS OF JOY at :32

[DaCorks]

that is Joe...

[mckei2000]

THANKYOU GOD FOR SPECIALIZING

[aymilyon]

Another great. I use to go see them on New Years Eve, when they would come to Greater Harvest with the Banks Brothers. Charles was pastor. I have one album left. Why wouldAretha be considered a gospel legend? I don't think so. It's not how good you sound, but the annointing that makes the difference. Keep up the good work. Sister D

[blessedover]

this song means the world to me

[minjimmierodgers]

PRAISE GOD!

[capdog360]

Who is the guy at 5:44

[trailblaze2003]

When did Gloria Griffin pass?

[ivanberry19]

now this is history

[ivanberry19]

is the women singing a soprano?WoW the barret sisters.

[gjjones51]

That was a powerful testimony. I cried tears of joy to know what God had brought her through. I also cried because this is one of the songs that stayed in my spirit since childhood and brought me through many dangerous times. I am blessed that my Mother introduced this song to me as a child.

[Montaukme]

Yes, I know EXACTLY what you're saying...I have no REAL complaints in this world, just a prayerful THANK YOU to Jesus....

[Montaukme]

Thank you so much for this song...truly, God DOES specialize; thanks be to the Lord!!

[Tjwill]

Oh My.... I could shout right now!

[enjoyit08]

Gloria Griffin's testimony wears me out every time I watch this. If she could belt it out like that minus one lung and ultimately near death... those of us who can sing and don't or won't should be shame!

[iloveinternet67]

When did Gloria Griffin die? I remember when she did that song "The King Is Coming" with Rev. Maceo Woods and the Christian Tabernacle Concert Choir around 1984. That was a powerful rendition!!!!

[JayEm86]

Gloria Griffin died in 1995.

[Yukhanan]

I truly enjoy Gloria Griffin of the famous Roberta Martin Singers. In this presentation she gives her very all as if she knew of her death which soon followed. Singing and Singers like this are few and far between. Thank you much for this presentation to be shared.

[clpbyrd]

THAT was POWERFUL!!!!

[bookitty1232000]

Praise God from whom all blessings flow. What a powerful song and testimoney. God does specialize in all things.

[livlife07]

Yeah Richard is killing it...I love this song

[macopera1]

I was wondering why aretha was not there

[crunkface11]

I love this song

[lamishdynasty]

this is awesome

[JDC200717]

is this on dvd?

[DaSourcespr06]

YES YES YES! God does Specialize! The Doctors thought I might have had stomach cancer a while back, and I prayed, and what did God do, he healed me!!!!!

[minjimmierodgers]

PRAISE GOD!!!

[kjrivens]

you betta play richard...what?! those arpeggios were crisp; that's richard smallwood for you.

[chinubianm]

For 2 hours I have watched these clips over and over again and cried and praised God for this incredible giants of gospel who have paved the way and passed on. I wish someone was carrying on the legacy of this type of Gospel music. Oprah's legends ball had nothing on the gospel giants assembled in this room! Thank you for posting this priceless piece of history!

[minjimmierodgers]

You're Welcome!!!

[direfranchement]

You got that right! I'm astonished that she invited Shirley Caesar and not Albertina Walker as well, but that's another topic altogether.

[JayEm86]

Just because Albertina Walker wasn't there doesn't mean she wasn't invited. She has had some health issues over the years that may be hampering her travel.

[direfranchement]

She was not invited as a legend.  There were 25 legends, with 2 not in attendance- Aretha Franklin and Rosa Parks.

[mspoonie21]

AWESOME!

[tmonique11]

Gloria Griffin was my grandmother. We have lost almost all video and audio of her past performances. Thank you so much for posting this. It will be a great mothers day find for my mother. We are very greatful. Do you have anymore?

[mike2004000444]

did she sing with james cleveland on down memory lane

[ReddzVoice]

Yes indeed!

[christianpreachr]

I just want to stand behind her and encourage her, pray for her, just hold her up...my God. God specializes....we need a repeat button on this video.

[Ministerdlyne]

I just love to see the sincerity while she ministers this great song.Truly blessed by this

[scorpiodad61]

I just happened upon this treasure...my sould is greatly blessed becuase of these postings. This is what I was raised on and I'm SO GLAD to once again hear the old classic songs of gospel. Thank God for whoever is responsible for posting.

[minjimmierodgers]

You're Welcome! Be Blessed!

[minjimmierodgers]

My Part is the part she sings...Everything...Everythin­g...Everything!!! OMG! I Go in Everytime... (As a matter of Fact... I might just take a 20 sec praise break!) When I think of the goodness of JESUS! MY SOUL, My happy soul, my blessed soul, my thankful soul cries HALLELUJAH! AND I Thank God for Saving Me! Be Blessed People of God! Elder J.K. Rodgers

[Hiw333]

I love when she said "He already done what no other power can do"

[direfranchement]

Is Gloria Griffin still living? I hate to ask, but she seemed to be in poor health here...

[DaSourcespr06]

She has passed on to glory my friend..

[529068]

oh thank God..

[ApropheticVoice]

please tell me where i can buy this dvd.

[minjimmierodgers]

THIS IS AN UNRELEASED dvd so far as I am told... a real treasure. this was given to me by an original caravan member and asked that I post it for her. Be blessed. Elder Rodgers

[kbolden07]

This a blessing to see Eugene Smith, Gloria Griffin, and Willa Ward on here.

[devangelique]

The Great Richard Smallwood is tearing the PIANO up!!!..... all the Legends are right here

[Church216]

This is just awesome.

[jandjesus]

I love it! This reminds me of when I used to go to church with my Great Grandmother.

[DaSourcespr06]

You can see Willa ward at 3:13..light skin lady behind the man!

[khalil4ulove]

This is a gem... The Great Robert Anderson is standing behind Gloria as she sings.... This man can produce a "spiritual itch"; he can sing a slow song and have you FALL OUT. The Barrett Sisters, Eugene Smith : The preacher. My God where is this DVD?

[mikesc79]

Please post more videos of this event!!! Thanks

[Shepherd4God]

Glory! Hallelujah! that song there was sent from Heaven! You wouldnt have The Barrett Sisters Performance would you? if u do please post, thanks and God Bless!

[DaSourcespr06]

Amen! God CAN do ANYTHING but fail!

[Emeless]

[everascendingworship]

[MusicLover3077]

This is awesome.  Do you have The Barrett Sisters performance from this show?

[jholyghosthead]
