The Whitfield Company singing,"I Shall Wear A Crown"

This was last night (1/15) in Traverse City, MI at Northwestern Michigan College. The Company put on a 2 hour concert for an MLK Celebration that was incorporated several Negro spirituals (Acapella) and some of their classics like this one. There will be some more postings from this sold out concert. This was the 2nd year doing this. Enjoy!

I do apologize for not introducing the musicians on here. I was focusing on featuring the Whitfield Company. The musicians on these videos are: Demetrius "Krayon" Nabors (me) on piano, Curtis Pearson on organ, Rob Skinner on bass and Myron Bell on drums! It's been an honor & privilege sitting in the seat of the maestro! I am not trying to be him per se but, we are trying to perform his music in an excellent way.

Thank you everyone for your comments! So let me address a few comments I've read. This song is not neo-souled out. For your information this is how Detroit plays the song. If you live in the "D" then you would understand our flavor. It might sound like that but, that's not the vibe we're going for. It's 2011 and music evolves.

I love this song, but I can't stand when choirs DESTROY it. Please stop the killing and violence...

@blkchi1 There is NOTHING like DETROIT musicians!!!! Those cats playing that night, Curtis on the organ, Demetrius on keys, Rob on bass and Myron on drums, some of DETROIT's elite musicians!!!

I have been a supporter of TWC and Min. Whitfield since I was a child. They still have maintained their quality of singing down through the years. Does anyone know if they will be releasing something new soon or have they released anything since "Still"?

@krayon04 That Was Really Good, I Think Thomas Whitfield Would Have Been Proud Of The Band, Curtis And Greg Pearson Is A Really Good Friend Of Mine, Curtis Taught Me Alot On Keys. I Thanks God For Him. THE TWC Still Has It.

Flawless vocals...! THE WHITFIELD COMPANY is an amazing group; one of a kind, with that consistent signature sound and that same rich tone quality after 30+ years! The sound coming out of the band is awesome as well. They band and the vocals are doing an extraordinary dance here. I love it! This group is blessed.

Peace and love...
