I would love to hear the version he did in his special. Where he said "drip...drop....drip drop....drip drop drop drip drop drip drip drop......." LOL
I was the soloist for this song in my youth choir in the early 90's...wow, haven't heard this song since then...and it's STILL amazing!!! Thanks for posting!
I too must chime in as I have also been looking everywhere for this song. I found another version but I wanted this one which is the original. Now, how can I download this on my IPod? I love this song. It takes me back to a period when Gospel music was anointed and moved your spirit and blessed your soul.
I've also been looking everywhere for this song.......even on YouTube, However think I gave up way b4 2009 lol!!! But now its here thanks for posting.
WOW! I too have been searching for this version of "I Need Your Spirit" for 15 years. I had this cassette back in the late 80's, and I played it contantly. This song and album has been out of print for the longest!
Does anyone have this version recorded? I was able to get another version on Itunes, but I have searched for this song (and this version) for well over 15 years myself. One of my favorites growing up.
I have been looking for this song for years, did not know who sang it and it blessed and moved my soul in the 80's and still does now. There is a beauty and pathos to this version and to read about what went on "behind the scenes" was awesome!!!. Please continue to place spiritually uplifting music on You Tube as a witness. Anytime you lift Him up you witness. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!!
Dr.Judith McAllister has achieved this sound with the C.H.Mason COGIC MASS Choir and they sound awesome @ the 103rd Holy Convocation in which Edwin Hawkins was in attendance at,....hmmm...wonder if he had anything to do with it,..lol,...???
Glory Hallelujah... Woooooo.... LOVE THIS TRACK! Been years since I last heard it... The bass lick that plays through the track still stands up today... wow!
I LOOOOOOOVE this song!!!!!!!! I was a little girl when I first heard this. I have been searching all over for this original version. I thank God a version of Daryl Coley came out a couple of years ago. This song is so beautiful!!! It truly speaks to the need to have God's spirit fall fresh on you. "So that I can live right. So that I can talk right. So that I can BE right. So that I can STAY right." Woooooo! God is SO awesome! I thank Him for the gift of His spirit! Thanks again, ChoirMasterTV!
I have been looking for this song almost all my saved life; (since the 80's early 90's) thank God for Youtube...or this would be a GREAT SONG lost cause you can't find it anywhere!
@AquSon-I just listened at 2:36 and picked up Walter's voice on that high note. (Wonderful bit of trivia-thanks!!) His voice (as Tramaine's) both have distinguishable tones. I also hear the young Walter's tenor and the young Tramaine's soprano voices on the Northern California State Youth Choir recording from 1968 famous for Edwin's "O Happy Day." =)
I love Daryl Coley/Edwin Hawkins. I love this song - thank u for the post - this is show nuff gospel with a strong message - I have your spirit in my soul - been running for Jesus a loong time. Sing gentlemen - Hallejuah!!! Excuse me whil I give God praise.
Thanks you so much for posting this. I used to lead this in my church choir.
@ the 2:36 mark, Walter Hawkins sings the high note because during the recording, Daryl Coley had trouble hitting the note.
Being the perfectionist that he was, Walter went into the studio and added the note. - just a little interesting tidbit for those listening to the song.
@AquSon now that I listen to that point that is Bishop Hawkins' voice. Wow, that was pure genius. That song had the benefit of three magnificent voices on lead.
This used to be one of my very FAVORITES!!!! Jesus!!! I ROCKED to it in my WALKMAN (remember those?! ....lol!) many days going to and coming from work back in the day in the BIG Apple!
Oh Praise God!! I have been looking for this song for a long time and now I have found it on Youtube. Thank you Jesus!! I need your spirit Lord to fall down on me!!
Thank you for posting this one. This is my all time favorite song. The music and arts seminar mass choir will always be the best ever!! God Bless everybody!!
I love, love this anointed hymn!!!!!!! Darryl Coley can sing his briches off!!! I have been trying to download this song! I really feel the Holy Spirit fall on me when I ask for it to! Thank you for posting this song! In these days we live in today, everyone should sing to the Lord with a humbled heart:
*****I need your spirit, I want Your Spirit... fall on me, fall down on me****
omg i could cry right now, plz never take this down, i love this song and With My Whole Heart!!!!! Love Edwin Hawkins & Daryl Coley too!!!!! thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!
I soooooo love this song....thanks for posting! I used to listen to it over and over on cassette (before cd's came out) when the "WALKMAN" first came out...now you know that was a looooonnnnnggggg time ago.
I AGREE !!!! NO ARGUMENT !!!! GOD BLESS THIS MAN OF GOD that BLESSES ME SO !!!! I have many of his cd's but heard this in the car and glad of the posting and will get it soon even tho it's old !!!!
i led this song as a lad with the young adult choir wow thank you for this post
