Many people have been homesick (LOL) for the Louis Overstreet video footage, and I just so happened to have this saved on a disc that I just came across. I hope that you enjoy!

  • hi, recently found this clip comes from a 1963 documentary done in conjunction with the arhoolie label called " DOWN HOME MUSIC: A Journey Through The Heartland " , even better there is more footage of Rev. Louis Overstreet and his sons and it was just recently released on dvd!

  • @jrak: Wow!! Thanks for the info! I've always wanted to see more footage. I appreciate it. Good lookin out!

  • where is this footage from? is there a documentary or more like this?

  • @jrak: This clip was sent to me a while ago and I just uploaded it, as it was once on YouTube. However, I know there is a documentary in the works about the Black Church, and it shows this footage, and things similar. If I can find the previews on YouTube again, I'll direct you to it (if you haven't seen it already).

  • YEs Lawd I had to ge up and SHOUT on that one!! Takes me back to south Georgia when I was a small boy and the tent revivals would come to town, and when we would go to an old wood floor church built off the ground using bricks as support, The saints at those places would carry own and make Joyful LOUD! Praise to the The Lord God Jesus! THis touched my soul brought tears too my eyes THANK YOU!!!! THank you I miss that type of Church and those saints from so much!

  • You're welcomed! I'm glad that you enjoyed!

  • Wow...even with all they had to endure back in that time with racism that didn't stop them from giving God the glory!!!

  • St. Luke Powerhouse COGIC right here in Phoenix, Arizona. Its still there too.

  • Amen Amen Amen!!!

  • and yes this is exactly what people knew us for....dancing, speaking in tongues, prophecy, healing and MOST OF ALL BEING HOLY!!!!....let's go back to the old time way.

  • THIS IS TRULY THE ORIGINAL CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST PRAISE!!!! GLORY TO GOD!!!!

  • I forgot to mention that this church is called St luke's powerhouse COGIC.

  • Rev Overstreet would play his guitar outside of the Mason temple, the saint would stir up dust, this was before Mason temple had grass.

  • Can you find anymore videos from Rev. Overstreet? I would have loved to see him live!

  • Curly one of the 3 stooges used to move around like this! This is vintage!
