Duke Ellington wrote Sacred Concerts with Alice Babs voice in mind. Whenever she couldn't perform he had to use three singers to do her part.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU FOR this clip! Please do rename it for what it is, though--"Almighty God," as someone else has stated. I would have loved to find this long ago.
