@olliemelodeonman That comment is not respectful of African American history and the suffering of the slaves who sang this song. The slaves sang this song to express that they were about to escape slavery either by running away or by death. It is a spiritual song of great longing that deserves reverence for past struggles, hope and sadness, not a tool to get your orgasm.

Were also doing this :)

@utopianconstruction So?

This is great. Chords are locked in nicely. I'm not sure there should ever be a rolled 'r' in a Spiritual. Nice though.

we need black jesus

The opening portion of this performance is magnificent. Too bad that could be maintained throughout the entire song. The tenors were much over powering for this venue. I'll bet in another venue, the entire performance would have been powerful!

@artsylovelylady It is only a figure of speech, and perhaps not the best chosen one, but I wasn't being serious. I'm not religious, so I view this piece from a purely musical perspective, and that moment is totally and utterly glorious.

The moment when the sops hit the top A is mildly orgasmic. Sends shivers every time we sing it.
