Higher Ground, Gospel Baptist Church, Richmond, early 60's

Here's the youth choir of the Gospel Baptist Church, Richmond, VA. singing Higher Ground.
Film is from the early 60's. My guess is 1964.

@kozone5000 It's mono, make sure both of your speakers are plugged in.

@Dreambro1 sho nuff. I mean its good and all but I like the old time way. Im old school BIG time although i may be young but I still like how we use to do it. Times has changed alot after 2000. We have to go back and show the young people now how we use to do it back in the day.

@4lyfejj I agree, choirs, choir robes, and even Organs are becoming a past tense. Most churches today have "Praise teams" , wear t-shirts, and are accompanied by a Synthesizer.

@jddrew1000 I agree im only 22 and I remember youth choir days. Where we had muscials and we went to other churches to sing. Now days you may rarely come across a church that still have a youth choir.
