He was incredible...his early passing was such a shock to those of us who followed his career. Rest in the Peace... we sure do miss you and your gift that you shared with us your whole life.
@@kaylarayton4494 Anthony was on a Gaither Homecoming cruise and died of a massive heart attack on 2/22/2006. He was accompanying Guy Penrod, Bill and Gloria Gaither playing We Shall Behold Him when he had his heart attack. He was truly blessed!
Just a reminder that time is precious to The Lord. This boy just fell over dead on his piano. What a blessing he was through his music. My grandfather was a music director and my daddy loved hymns. I treasure his memory. I thank God always for both my parents.
One of the most unsung, underestimated, under appreciated and under recognized Pianists of all time. He is truly and by far one of the greatest of all time and could play (probably out-play) any other in both Southern Gospel and secular music.

I had the honor of meeting Mr. Burger and tuning the piano for two of his concerts. I can usually tune a piano in about an hour, but I spent over two on his, both times. I wanted it to be perfect. He did too. So after he sat down and checked it out. I tuned some more. We had a glorious evening those nights this is truly a talented man and I loved to hear him play.
I am so glad to discover this. I love listening to his beautiful and anointed music . He gave his all to God. His talent. Though I know he is no longer around but his music lives on.. Praise God. Amen!
No doubt he was the greatest! I fell so fortunate to have been able to see him perform while he was alive. Gone WAY to young. He is one of those very rare pianists for whom I can say the 88 keys of the piano got nothing on him! His hands are in total control of each and every one. When he tells his hands to whip those keys - they better WATCH OUT!
That is so sad.......I didn't know Anthony passed away!!!!!😢😢😢😢❤❤❤🌷🌷🎼🎼🎼 I'm just now learning of it!!!😢❤ He was such an awesome amazing piano player!!!!!!❤❤❤🎼🎼🎼🌷 What year did he pass??
@@kaylarayton4494 I don't remember the year, but it was on a cruise and if I remember correctly he had a massive heart attack just after a performance and they weren't able to resuscitate him.
@@kaylarayton4494Not sure exactly the date but he was playing on the Dutch cruiseschip Suiderdam when in the middle of a song he was motionless with his fists clenched over the piano keys! God took him while he was doing the very thing he loved!
Thankyou RU-vid for bringing this up. I had never heard of this man but smiled the whole way through this. What a player, what a gentle man and what an Ambassador of Christ
I have never heard anyone who could play a piano like Anthony does. So far to me he is the greatest piano player I have ever heard. Every time I hear piano music I have to stop and listen. We lost a great one and God will take good care of this blessed one AMEN
Oh rip Anthony the world of southern gospel music lost a heavenly gifted talent when he was called home I really miss him on the Gaither homecoming videos the power he played the hallelujah chorus with was amazing his finger were actually a blur the heavenly chorus he is playing for now r the lucky ones I look forward that glorious day god bless
Anthony was one of the best to every come along in Gospel Music. God took him home with him early. But I sure loved to hear him play. His playing the piano and his contributions to Gospel music sure was a blessing to me Thank you Anthony you sure did bless me with your talents
Never in my very long life have I been more impressed, inspired, mesmerized and just plane ole loved that man! Never had the pleasure of hearing him live! Never met him! But as long as I live, Anthony Burger will be THE BEST gospel piano player EVER in my mind, heart and soul!!
@@wrfa6mb He died d oing what he loved to do-pla y the piano. Had to be a complete shock to everyone in the audience when he die d suddenly while in the mid- dle of a performance.
I love to listen to Anthony play. What a gift God gave him. We are lucky we have wonderful technology like we do so we can keep watching him play. I reckon up in heaven everyone is enjoying his music. Thank you Lord for the time we had him.

Hey Martin, so pleased to know you are a fan. I live in Australia and Gaither and his GVB and Anthony Burger came to Sydney Opera House. He played The Hallelujah Chorus. I much prefer the way he played it at the Gaither Studios in the USA though. That is my all time favourite of his.

Muiscal genius's Anthony Burger with the piano ! I miss very much ! Thank You for sharing this with us! Wonderful Inspiring Memories very blessed, special person ! ♪Date 11/19/2018♪
My brother and I used to talk to Anthony when the Kingsman came to town,they came to Indy often Anthony made fast friends w us my brother was in a gospel group with Tim Surrett @the time(Carolinians,1985). He had a great sense of humor and loved to talk. RIP Little brother& Anthony!.
Listening to Anthony play brings tears to my eyes every time I hear him. Because I never met him and yet I am very familiar with his life story. Part of my tears is that I never got the opportunity to meet him. The main reason is his life has brought so much of the meaning of being a Christian to my soul. May God's Spirit bless you as you listen and view these RU-vid videos. Thank You to RU-vid and all the people who have made these videos available for people to see; even after Anthony's passing. My prayer is his talent will touch your heart.
Blake Hauge AMEN Brother. I too, well up with tears to think such a great talent was taken from us so soon, but we KNOW we will see him again one day, because he really loved and served the Lord. I am so glad I got to hear him sing in the TRIO before he went home.

philip linger I’m so glad also Philip and I have a full library of his music as he was such an inspiration in so many ways. I listen to him for hours and never tire of his versatile, and vast variety of music.
Amen on Anthony Burger being best pianist. I’ve seen him. He was fabulous! Loosen up Anthony! No, no, not the classics....I had that song too......gospel, your style...Anthony, you’ve got it. THE BEST! Now, you’re cookin!
What amazes me is how he can so perfectly stay perfectly on-key through modulations with such rapid playing. Now I've heard some gospel pianists who might "seem" to be hitting the wrong keys a lot. As a result, it may work on a "spicy" musical level, but sometimes it's hard to tell if they're spicy or just making mistakes; Anthony always seemed to nail everything with such perfection of style choices and precision.
I really enjoyed Anthonys playing, when we started going to our church, we heard a young man playing the piano, he played exactly like Anthony, we even call him Anthony sometimes, he's 18 years old

Gods b[essings are truly wondrous.what an inspiration Mr.Burger is to those struggling. Let God in,he will be your guide to become the creation he wants you to be thru this journey called life .
Anthony Burger died at age 44. Many feel that he is the finest gospel pianist that ever lived. He spent the last ten years playing for the Gaither Vocal Band. He last played on a cruise ship. Fifteen hundred people were on the cruise, vacationing during the day, and attending gospel concerts at night. The fourth night out, Anthony Burger had just played a piano solo of “We Shall Behold Him.” About five minutes later, during the concert, he collapsed of a massive heart attack and died instantly at the piano.

Excellent video. He sure is gifted! Thanks for sharing. I recently started listening to the Kingsmen and they sure have blessed me during a very difficult time.
Love watching him play. The Kingsmen are a great quartet and love playing around. Anthony Burger was given a God given talent and he shared it with the world. He can really tear a piano up. I bet he would have found alot of Kingsmen albums at my parents. My dad loved the Kingsmen. Went to their concerts. My dad loves good ol gospel music and loves singing it to. So sad to know that Anthony isn't with us anymore. I bet he's having a great time in heaven. Thanks for making so many people happy Anthony Burger. Praise the Lord !

bmrgdr39 A GIANT loss indeed !! He was a double blessing to all who knew or just heard him play, because he was a born-again CHRISTIAN who lived the life. He was truly a Master Musician!!!

I miss playing gospel music, and remember meeting Eldridge Foxx in the early days At Dawn studio's in Ashville N.C. Anthony on one take on all 10 songs, never missing a note was mind boggling and inspiring. Id try not ask to many questions, but couldnt resist a few times, getting that all important intro to a song called Earthquake we had as our album title. Never will i forget it. Was amazing, A couple years later Eldridge had got word I had auditions with the Mccameys and they hired me on the spot. Got a phone call from him basically saying if you leave this group they're done , and i assume killed the deal with that. So I stayed the group a bit longer, just long enuff to be confronted by a couple of members of the group they heard, i was ,,,,,,,,,,,wait for it,,,, Yes that question of are you gay? I looked at those 3 elder gentlemen who I considered family And said to them these words I am the same exact person you met years ago the night you hired me And Yes I am. I mean really who would thought that a gay guy would be in a Southern gospel band, Unheard of, really? That was the end of my career with the councellor. quartet of Somerset Kentucky
Such a shame that so called Christians felt the need to judge another. God is the only one who is allowed to make judgements. They had no right as a group to discredit you with others. Shame on them!! People should be allowed to be themselves.

My cousin had the same thing happen to her. She had horrible scarring on her hands. She went on to become a doctor and when I burned my hands badly in college, she was a Dr in my town and cut my skin off and scrubbed them daily. She was taken too soon also. Lupus.

Wonderful job for someone the Dr's. said would never move his hands again. Phoo-da-loo on you, medical 'professionals.' If God wants something to happem, the BEST Dr. in this world can't keep it from happening.

Beautiful miracles. The Old Rugged Cross. Amen. God is so good!! Now he plays this well. God takes the hurting, injured, and downtrodden and uses them to show what He can do.
