  • I been a lover of Bessie Griffin and the Gospel Pearls for a long time since I heard the album

    " Gospel Soul". First time I seen her on video. Thanks very much. I dont think I`ve ever heard any lady with such an obvious God given vocal gift since Joan Baez ( different style of course ) however they both make me shiver. Bessie looks a real sweetie too. I dont know much about her life.

  • She was SO young then, but the voice...oh, boy! It was there...

    Many thanks for posting. All the best, diana

  • I love it, these words are very powerful. Thank you Bessie!

  • Wow! Totally Amazing!

    

  • @DonDiva4u03 Mahalia and Bessie were both born in New Orleans ten years apart, Bessie was often compared to Mahalia.

  • She reminds me of Mahalia Jackson! Her pain and telling a story is all in her voice.

  • my soul is crying

    

  • SHE IS KILLINg THIS SONG! ALL SINGERS WHO WANT TO EVOKE EMOTION SHOULD STUDY GOSPEL MUSIC! old school !

  • Iʻd like to see somebody cover this! Iʻd like to see someone sing this song for an American Idol audition! LAWD HA MERCCY

  • sang bessie
