Where Can I Find This Album??

[Rowoches]

@steven2312: It's really hard to find any of the Youth Congress albums. I actually found mine at a Goodwill a few years back while I was on my lunch break.

[mrtheoneandonly83]

@steven2312 Most of our recordings were sold st the time during national even ie UNAC, Youth congress or national conventions. So albums like these would be hard to find today.

I have the gospel soulchildren of neworleans singing this on there first recording im definatly going to have to post it so you can hear them sopranoes hitting them high notes lololol.....

[hammondman94]

New Orleans Soul Children used to wear this out!!

[Dreambro1]

im tryin to collect all these gems,, i go to record exchange stores, and they tell me that most of the time they dont even take them in,, im like,, dang! and also, as our older blk peeps die,, their albums get thrown in the garbage by white boys who know nothin about this history!!

[coolhype]

oh c'mon now.

Here I am about to thank Rowoches for posting yet aNOTHER great praise up and you're SURE that white boys are trashing this music. You sure? Its that kind of random "flip" stuff we have to be conscious of. If we're all One. We have to Be it!

Peace to you dreambro

[Rowoches]

You're welcomed. Glad you enjoyed!

[dayounglevite]

Rowoches, you are only one who can find these old songs. You need to awarded the "Ol' Skool Gospel Music Award." WOW this is old! I love it though... Our generation can't appreciate the rich heritage and sincere meaning of the old skool.

[Snowhill3]

Whoo!!!

[rmbb10]

Awesome.

[pierlejna83]

Man... they're getting down... I hear their tambourines, and I know they are stomping their feet...that's what happens when the praises get good to you..,

[aeg4941]

[jankins24]

Loran Mann... WOW!!! Now that you mention it, I can here it!  I use to frequent his church back home in Pittsburgh.

[matthew5and9]

Greater Harvest MBC still sings this song to this day in Chicago, Illinois at the openings of their homegoing services. Awesome post.

[HammondBishop]

Greater Harvest might as well had been a "sanctified" church...Elder Boddie didn't play wit 'em back then. I love listenin to their broadcast on Sundays

[jankins24]

OMGoodness... I was looking for this song a couple months ago! Thanks Bro. Rowoches!

[Rowoches]
