Uploaded by docludi on Mar 30, 2008
Eleanor Powell and the Berry brothers to Marlena Shaws up beat vocal version of Ramsey Lewis' Wade in the water.
Originally one of the 'Songs of freedom'
(Wade in the water) was sung by way of instruction to escaping slaves .. travelling along the water's edge or across a body of water, would throw dogs and their keepers off the scent.
Wade in the water,
Wade in the water children.
Wade in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
Who's all those children all dressed in Red?
God's gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that Moses led.
God's gonna trouble the water.
What are those children all dressed in White?
God's gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones of the Israelites.
God's gonna trouble the water.
Who are these children all dressed in Blue?
God's gonna trouble the water.
Must be the ones that made it through.
God's gonna trouble the water.

i love this song its awesome

I like the part where they make modern "dancing" look like child play XD
Impressive, the dancing and the coreography is excellent - but to be able to do all that with a constant smile on your face... and still manage to look decent and classy - that's quality man.

OK, this track is hot no denying that, but isn´t this song originally a song about slaves tryin to get to freedom? This is not the only version of this song using a different lyric as the original. Still thanx for posten the track!

Skins visitors. If this is a new sound to you ...presses a button inside that you can't quite grip why....you may be on the verge of falling for 'Northern Soul' music.
