Boy, Madeline had a powerful voice back then. The bradford singers are always a treat to see in person.

Wow, singing from even 1962. Her career must at least over 40 years.

Hugely talented and beautiful lady still performing in 2011.......

The girl is STILL singing (and well too) I sang with her two years ago!

starting 1:14 what is that little break in her voice in the middle of a word when she sings "happy," and "glad," and "Father" and "Son", it reminds me of the girl groups in the early 60s and Ronnie Spector singing "who-oh-oh". it makes her voice sound very pop-py. She sings softer in later life, but she said Alex Bradford made them all sing VERY LOUD in his group! gives a whole different quality to the singing. Belting it out. 2:08 looks like "dare you not to say Hallelujah with me!!"

1:03 you just go right ahead there with that piano, yeh
