If I Perish -Albertina Walker, Rev. James Cleveland Live 

when the young people from the neighborhoods would join together to worship and praise God and not be ashamed of being Saved !!

Freeman Knox yes it is old school church

@@darnellveal5032 LOL You know it is. She wasn't shouting for show.

A PRO!

Yes, I agree. It is such a joy to see how God has blessed and anointed so many gay and lesbian Christians in black churches to provide this ministry in music. This is what the kingdom is all about: heterosexual and gay Christians praising God and offering the beloved community of Koinonea. Amen church!

+Chris Brown Mother Vernon Oliver-Price is the same.

Mother Loretta didn't need no microphone. That was the true annointing of God

Mother Loretta didn't need no microphone. That was the true annointing of God

Im glad they added it back it was deleted one time

Anointed and HOLY GHOST filled

Amen That was her testimony

She certainly did. It was short and sweet but Mother Oliver put the finishing touch on that number.

LOL Oh yes

OH yes. She can make you move

+Harold Gardner It's Mickey.

@theoneandonly

She also shows out on the "Walking Up The King Highway video. YOU MUST SEE IT

Where is your mom in the video

Stanley mosley My mom is the one with the braids in center frame from 1:25 - 1:32! I think she might’ve been in her late teens or early 20s in this video.

sugrnspyce4 what choir was it and where were they from?

@@ccth22 They're from Chicago and she says the choir was Operation PUSH.

Wow that’s a great choir!

Something got hold of them and would turn them loose.

They gone to glory now.

And Rev is the one who married them!

What? Death? Lol. This is the story of Queen Esther who had to have a word with her husband the king. It is about courage. Because she could have died herself, but she said... if I perish, let me perish. I am going to see the king. The song is not about dying. The queen and the people did live, in spite of Haman's plan to have them decimated, because of her historic courage. That is what Purim, a Jewish holiday is about. Whoa! I feel great joy!

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego said the same. They said ... "whatever. We are not bowing down to you, king. If we perish, then we perish." They were thrown in the fire, but they were delivered.

And Daniel said the same. Not praying to you, king. He got thrown into a lions' den. But didn't die.

JESUS said the same. He said... get away from me... Worship God only. He did die; but only because He wanted to. You know about it. 😏

This song has nothing to do about death.❤

4:04 love that soprano in the background

@@steven2312 I too love those old school wailing sopranos in gospel music. You just can't beat Delores Washington of the caravans.

+Giles Golding Hello Giles, a friend sent me just this part of it because he knows i love Albertina Walker ,and James Cleveland so i don't know where to find the whole thing, sorry.
