I love Brother Joe May, even though I wasn't born when he was around, I have his live CD and it's amazing. You can tell he had the right spirit, and was singing for the Lord and not for money or for praise for himself. This song is on the cd by the way.

Very Nice! Check out the Carlton Pearson version, if you haven't already. It's one of my favorites!

@terrenceardell : Do a search here on the Tube for Annette May Thomas and you should come up with a few tunes; also Annette and Charles May both did alot of recording with James Cleveland and the Southern California Choir as lead/vocalists. Check out the albums from the early seventies by the choir.

@direfranchement: There are a couple of people I can ask to see if they know. But yes, I LOOOOVE the the ghostly soprano!

This is just incredible. What a great recording. Bro. Joe May is just like a locomotive with his incredible vocals. I might have scars from these goosebumps!
