Many thanks for posting this great concert video of the legendary GOLDEN GATE QUARTET, one of the best vocal groups ever! This video reminds me of the times when I attended the first time live concerts of them in Berlin during the second half of the 70s. GGQ were very popular in Germany from the late 60s to the end of 80s, and they used to give one concert in Berlin nearly every year. The concert clip is definitely from the period 1971-1984, when the group had the following line up: Paul Brembly (baritone), Orlandus Wilson (bass), Clyde Riddick (1st tenor), Calvin Williams (2nd tenor). (in the stage order from left to right, at the beginning of the clip) The instrumentalists are not shown clearly in the video, but used to be Guy Combres (piano), Francis Baïllac (bass), Baldo Romelli (drums) during those years. It seems to be a original German TV production, which has been translated to French because of a later broadcast in France. As shown in the end titles and credits, it has been produced by the NDR (Northern Germany Broadcast) in 1976. It surely was not a video recording of a regular GGQ concert: The usual GGQ concerts consisted of two parts, with Gospels & Spirituals in the first part, and Jazz & Vocal Standards in the second part. Here the concert program is mixed and scaled down to 45 minutes. Also, the setting is definitely none of the Berlin concert halls. Presumably it was a special TV production (with live audience in the studio) for the NDR, because of the credits to producer Sigmar Börner may be as a part of the "Musik aus Studio B" TV show series, which probably took place at "Großer Sendesaal des NDR-Funkhauses" in Hannover or, less probable, at the "Studio B des NDR-Fernsehzentrums" in Hamburg (but not in Berlin). The production year seems to be 1976, not only because of the end titles, but also because of the repertoire: it consisted of the songs the GGQ typically presented during those years, but featured also two tunes from the 1976 LP album "Friendship" ("Miss Otis regrets" & "Cabaret") which persisted not so long in the group's live repertoire. Great to have this concert / TV video and see he terrific GGQ from those years again ! --- List of the individual titles and parts of the program: 00:29 On the Sunny Side of the Street 02:53 introductory words by Orlandus Wilson 03:35 Joshua fit the Battle of Jericho 06:16 introductory words by Orlandus Wilson 06:42 He never said a mumbalin' Word (Crucifixion) 11:48 Hard Trails and great Tribulations 15:33 introductory words by Calvin Williams 16:20 Put your Hand in the Hands 19:52 introductory words by Calvin Williams 20:21 Lord, in my Heart 24:10 He's got the whole World in his Hands 27:16 Mack the Knife 19:52 introductory words by Orlandus Wilson 30:07 Sweet Georgia Brown 32:48 introductory words by Orlandus Wilson 33:54 Miss Otis regrets 38:05 Cabaret 42:07 Michael row the Boat ashore 54:01 end titles / credits + final French TV remarks

THIS IS GREAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS ON DVD

I was 10 years old when I saw this last time. Many thanks for posting this.

Brilliant clip. What amazing voices they had. So,so good!

I feel like the 8 year old me when my dad played this tape on Sabbath

This is a GEM!! Thanks for the Memories..........Ang

נהדר ! תודה !!! wonderful ! Thanks !!!

Very nice sehr sympathische Jungs

a worthy tape- many thnx-

Clyde R. ist ein spitzen Sänger Paul ist trotz seiner Jugend bereits ein sehr guter Sänger Orlandus ist ist einfach Spitze

This video is not from 50s or 60s, it is probably recorded in late 70s or early 80s Paul Brambley, bariton, born 1950 (first from the left) joined the quartet in 1971 same as Calvin Williams, 2nd tenor, born 1921(first from the right). I was lucky to have them recorded and photographed on July, 1st 1975 and when you compare how they look on the photos i took that evening to how they look on this video, they look more or less the same age. watch: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--pRgXpUWLMM.html funny fact; they wear the same bow tie on this video and on my photos😎

Thanks for this post, however as a fan of GGQ I can tell for sure this concert was between not in 50's neither in 60's nor in 70's as said. But between 1980 to 1982

Great stuff!

michael row the boat ashore, the very best version. 42:07

This concert was in Seventies. There isn'it the barytone Paul Brembly, that joined the quartet in seventies

there was only one Orlandus Wilson !

uowlllllll hehehe muito bom !!!

Produced by german public tv station NDR = Hamburg

When was the concert

Thats more like late 70's

Name of the song at 12:00?

My father who plays bass guitar on this show, discovered this video like you, after so many years. He told me that it was in Hannover (not in Berlin) probably at the end of 1974 or in the beginning of 1975.. Singers was (from left to right) Paul BREMBLY (barriton), Orlandus WILSON (bass), Clyde RIDDICK (first tenor), and Calvin WILLIAMS (second tenor). Musicians was Jean EVANS (piano), Tony PIAZZA (bass guitar), ans Baldo ROMELLI (drum). This concert was made especially for television during a tour.

Thanks for uploading this tremendous concert by the GGQ What a fantastic group they were. They've managed, despite some changes of personnel to maintain a peerless standard. Lucky you have this film!

This is about the time (1975) I saw them for the very first time in concerts in Belgium and since then I have followed them just right now :) 28/8/2015 in Belgium ' Nuit des choeurs. THEY ARE FANTASTIC !

There was a live performance from Golden Gate Quartet where they were in a church. The performance was spectacular and I believe the video had been removed from RU-vid. If anyone has a link or can refer me to it that would be greatly appreciated. It had Paul Brembly at the time....❤

Das Golden Gate Quartett ist 👍👍👍

"Hard Trials Great Tribulations", wohl aus den 20er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts, und hat seit Gospel Gate Quartet kaum jemand mehr interpretiert... schön es hier zu finden ;-)!

wowie zowie. thanks a bunch. there is a tape, honest injun it's for real, of elvis with the ggq in paris. that would be a treat to hear. i'm currently negotiating its release. hopefully by next year. thanks, sam

The LEGEND...

Grad the Golden Gate made it into the 21st century.

C'est l'expression meme de la vie dans sa version melodieuse....

40 év után boldogan hallgatom ismét őket . hihetetlen még ma is , hogy mennyire jók (voltak)

BRAVO ,BRAVO FROM TEL AVIV !

Monday 10th of September 1973 (see Poster)

Excellent!

wow this is super cool thanks!!!

J'ai eu la chance de les voir 2 fois à Paris dans les années 80, c'était inattendu et un vrai bonheur ! Clyde à cette époque avait déjà un certain âge, mais effectivement, il avait toujours besoin d'espace derrière lui !!! 😍😍😍❤❤❤💯💯💯

I figured it wouldn't be from before the late 60's since color TV didn't start in Germany until '67

Indeed it's translated in French. But you have seen as well some post in German, so I would say I took place in German but may be diffused in France later on. Roxane

I was made and raised with this music along with elvis..amen....orange cover and a Duall stereo set...it brings me peace..thx 4 showing

I want to love EVERYBODY in my heart. Then I try to watch the Germans clap in time.

The video is great. best thanks. I am looking for the title of the song that begins at the time of 11.50. Can someone help me?

La buena música, la música excepcional nunca pasa de moda. Que lujo de ritmos, que lujo de voces.

Call me mad, call me what ever you want I'll still be joshua.

perfetti

Are you sure it is not in France? the traduction is in french...
