Has a "boxed set" of her music come out yet? I don't like these "Greatest Hits" CDs that she had because they do not include a lot of great songs she sang. I hope the recording industry will put one out with this song included as well as other duets she had done. "Miracle" is also another one.

Beautiful singing, Daryl. Beautiful piano accompanying, Maria. And beautiful composition, H. Leslie Adams. I have a CD with Maria performing Dr. Adams' compositions, which I bought in Detroit in 2006 at the National Association of Negro Musicians (NANM) Convention.

I remember this song very well. This is the early days of the Clark Sisters (their "scat-singing" novelty) at the C.O.G.I.C. Convention with the International Mass Choir directed by Dr. Mattie Moss Clark. This recording was actually in 1978 (maybe '79) because I taught this song to an ensemble ...

I turned this song into a children's choir song and had it sung at many churches. This is from the Thomas A Dorsey National Mass Choir and Choruses Convention.

I remember when the original "The Alvin Show" chipmunks from the early 1960s. I can't find a boxed set of them. Simon was tall and had a deep voice. Theodore was medium-sized and fat with the highest voice. Alvin was the smallest. They had three short cartoons. The 1st was just everyday life of ...

I am also on a mission to preserve traditional gospel music. Yes, it has left the black church in droves. The (baby) grand pianos and Hammond organs have been removed and replaced with a bunch of sound-barrier-breaking keyboard synthesizers. Since I am a musician who knows many of these songs,...

This is such a beautiful tribute. I was a part of Southern Security Auxiliary (Maccabee reserve Corp in Atlanta) under Gen. Karega. We had to read "My Glorious Brothers" (I still have that book). I did not know that Sgt. Muata had left us to be with the ancestors.

I remember when this song came out on the radio (maybe early 80s). I don't know who it is by, by it was barely on the charts a few weeks. Now the FAMU Marching 100 made it famous. I can't find the recording by the original artist on YouTube.

Celestial Choir, thanks for posting the lyrics to this song. He also did a song before this album called, "I Shall Be Like Him." Is it on YouTube?

This song was remade into "Sexy, Sexy, Sexy" in 1973 for one of those "Slaughter" movies he was a part of (co-produced)

It is D minor, but it sounds a half-step lower. In the Baroque Period the pitches were one half-step lower. I learned this when I took a youth orchestra to Boston's Handel & Haydn Society. The tour guide told us that the pitches were one-half step back then and for a piece to be performed auth...

All of those harps. Where is this camp located?

Sounds great! You are really working that C minor. Penny, did you compose this tune? I like the bridge, too.

My grandmother had this record on a 78 rpm.

Is that MFSB, the Sound of Philadelphia accompanying her?

The older gentleman is comedian (and civil rights activist), Dick Gregory.

This is an old (twice) remake. First it was a song called, "He'll Make a Way" written by Gabriel Hardeman and recorded by the Philadelphia Mass Choir in the early 80s. Then the Edwin Hawkins Music and Arts Seminar Mass Choir sang it in the early 90s. The lyrics and title was changed to "Praise...

The music sounds like Joe Sample, formerly of the (Jazz) Crusaders. I wish i could find this music. Otherwise I would just have to keep listening to this video.

There were many spelling and grammatical errors in the captions (using "do" rather than "due"). Nonetheless, this is a nice tribute.

Truly a Mother's Day classic. I love the MFSB, The Sounds of Philadelphia Orchestra (Gamble and Huff) Orchestra in the background. The radio stations used to play this around Mother's Day, but not anymore (just like love songs). They have their own agenda of promoting ignorance, stupidity, hatr...

Outstanding piece of music. It reminds me of "Cafe Reggio's" from his Shaft" album.

I played in the Interlochen All-State Jr. High School Orchestra in 1969 (on cello) under Jack Metz. I remember that song well. I was in 8th grade going into the 9th. When I began high school in Highland Park, we played an arrangement of Howard Hanson's Symphony No. 2, "The Romantic," which ha...

The music in this piece takes us through a journey of life - the highs, the lows, the laughter (3:26), the depression (4:26), coming out of a depression back into joy (5:00), and so on. Notice this piece is played with ancient Baroque instruments. The piece sounds a half-step lower because A did ...

Great exchange of the Jackson 5 singing Isaac Hayes' version of "Walk On By." Ike paid him back by singing and recording the Jackson 5's, "Never Can Say Goodbye."

Also, the Jackson 5 did a television special called, "Goin' Back to Indiana" featuring Bill Cosby, one of the Smothers Brothers, som...

good job!!!!!!! :D

I like it. Yes, this is your strings teacher, Mr. Robinson. You should have put some violin music in the background (of you playing it).

My favorite version of this Myrna Summers classic. I have played (on organ) and taught many of her songs. The late John Person on WIGO-1340 AM in Atlanta back in the mid-70s used to play this song. Sometimes he would play it twice with the second time trying imitating the organ near the end.

A Detroiter now in Atlanta (since 1973), I got to like the classic radio personalities of Zilla Mays, Leonard "Tippy" Calloway, and the early morning show on WAOK called "Break-a-Day Gospel" hosted by Brother Esmond Patterson. All three of them passed away (may they rest in peace).

Instead of the key of G minor, the increased speed puts it in A minor (one step above). Now where is the popular line dance to this tune? It would be nice to see it.

Great job, Jaiya. When will you perform it in public? You are an outstanding composer. This song really rocks.
