Kim McFarland of Thompson Community Singers sings, "For the Good of Them," at Salem Baptist Church of Chicago (House of Hope) on Sunday, February 24, 2013
I nearly fell out!!!! I wasn't even born when this song nor this choir was out but My God!! I love this old school gospel! There is truly NOTHING like it! Kim's voice is even more powerful now than it was then! I felt this!
WOW!!!!!!! Kim McFarland is such a HOLY GHOST filled and highly anointed singer!!!!!!! This song still blesses my heart & soul every single time I listen to it!!!!!!! I first heard this precious song back in 1991 (produced in 1988), it blessed me then, and still blesses me TODAY!!!!!!! Thanks a zillion for sharing this spectacular song!!!!!!!
man! This song is still powerful as it was back in the day!! I had to explain this to my 11 year old. I am 42, so this tells you the history this song has
Ok...any singer watching this recognizes two seemingly UNIMPACTING facts about Kim in this presentation...LOL...She is hoarse and she is a little winded even from the beginning and it makes NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL!!! That is how you know she can "sing" and she is "Anointed to sing"...Just like Renae Thomas, she can go head and preach through a song and keep a melodic quality to it. I LOVE IT!!!
Lord Jesus, God I Thank You for Minister Kim . You've used her to get me through my most darkest, scariest, dangerous, hurtful times in my life. Lord I've played her songs until the cassettes wouldn't play anymore. God I THANK YOU FOR BLESSING US WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN OF GOD.
All I gotta say is thank God for the oil !!!! I've loved this song since the 80s. I've NEVER heard anybody sing it with such power and authority, not even Ms. McFarland her self! I can tell she has been through by the oil that is on her life! Who wouldn't serve a God like that!?
At times, it is probably best if we don’t have any nice to say or at least inoffensively mildly humorous, we keep our counsel to ourselves. It profits no-one.
Tears. Flowing. “Periodt”. I wish you knew how much this song has impacted my life! It is such a blessing to see you singing it live after all of these years! God bless you, Ms. McFarland and your powerful music ministry! And THANK GOD for you!
Remember when church singing you feel in your ❤️ mind and soul. All over your body. Like charging your battery to deal with the devil a little longer. You had the strength to handle your battles. It's a little different now days.
After alllll these years, I finally get to see you sing Kim!!! And twice in one a night at that, in Milton Brunsons choir from back in the day and this performance. tha nks to youtube! Pls dont wreck your voice!
That but I know, that I know, that I know, that I know, that I know, that I know, that I know, that I know, that I know, that I know, that I know 💫💃🏽💃🏽
I was a lone "white" boy in 1992 and snuck into a church in South Chicago and was whiteness to Mrs. McFarland live. I cried and felt as though the presences of God was moving through her. For real man...WOW! Amazing.
She has such a beautiful spirit, she came to Texas and did a concert with our Church years ago, she is a nice person. This version is amazing.......Sing Kim....
Kim and Keshia Mac Her sister sound a lot alike omg. Sang Kim! I need this song all over my life right now. I believe it's working for I love the Lord, ain't living n sin, and I am.clearly called, so it's all working. Sang woman! Thank oil!
God have blessed this lady voice control its like none that I have hread how do you stand flat foot and deliver a message in this song hang on in there don't give up
Actually the choir doesn't sound a mess. The media did an poor job in the recording.. the microphones are not properly configured and she was actually hoarse but all things considered she did a good job considering she was hoarse.
I love this song and her voice. But she did A LOTTT on this song-and it takes from the beauty and simplicity of the song. I love her natural singing voice-here, she did a lot of squalling on this song. She’s magical tho.
You are right....that was my thoughts exactly..it was a little overkill to me... When she first sang it years ago..she stood flat footed and tore that song to shreds...but I understand that as we get older, our voices can change/drop....
I've always been a little annoyed by her over adlibbing (it was the style back in her day...not her), but her voice has NEVER EVER been to mess with! That woman can saaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!! I kinda like her heavier frame and voice now, despite that light bright younger body and voice she had back then. She can still belt those high soprano voice, which is respectable!
I also add, for her to still be able to sing this song after al those years says much about her talent. She set the bar way high when she sang this years ago, and it is NOT an easy song to sing!
How old is this? I have an old tape cassette of hers (Amazing) and was asking people about her and some church folks told me they think she passed away in a flood in her car on her way to a concert many years ago. Its like she just disappeared and stopped making music and appearances so I believed those people.
Too much screaming, I liked her better with the Milton Thompson Choir. As a musician, I'd have a hard time following her, I kept trying to find the melody line because I'd get thrown off. All those arabesques can be omitted because she's got the voice and don't need them
