Mother and SuperIntendant Debra Freeman blessed us on the organ after a mens day service 7/13/14. This type of playing I grew up on in the Church Of God In Christ. Listen and enjoy!
Not really 😉 But to be honest, there is other religious inspired music which made me go into churches (not to church though). No expensive Stereo system can ever match the impression of a classical church organ.
I can think of one thing, the sound of a Hammond running through a Leslie, accompanied by a killer bass player, and a spirit filled gospel choir singing praises to Jesus in a bitter sweet minor key. 👍👍👍

I give God the glory! He deserves it. I have been blessed by all comments posted and I affectionately say thank you to each person. This three and a half year video set a milestone in my musical ministry. I now understand the purpose for my music and would be delighted to share more.
You are truly anointed... God bless you Mother Freeman... I am of a younger generation, but I grew up to the sounds of the music you are playing... The comments are right, you never lost it :)... Now that's talent...
May God continue to.use you in blessing a younger generation and passing the mantle! I suspect not only playing, but teaching and.couching.humble musicians and worshippers is a calling God might be leading you to.
Im white ( descended from Scotland but family living in Australia ) and I love my culture and am proud of it but I have to say I absolutely adore your culture. I have always wanted to come over to America and spend time in all the soul towns ( is that an expression haha ) like Memphis, etc and I have always wanted to try soul food and go to a few services in your churches and pray to the Lord with you guys. If I wasn't Scottish, I would definitely be proud to be born black. Consider me your brother from another mother. Love from Australia!!!!
My church has a B3 organ but it’s black it’s the best organ we have in the church, I play for them every single 1 Sunday on the drums I love Jesus Christ our savior and our father 🙏🏽😇
Did someone say she still got it? She never lost it. OMG! Do not judge a book by its covered. This Mother of the Church is a senior statesman on the organ. WOW! She can smoke some of these current cats hands down.
That organ just got a good workout! Awesome playing, would love to see music like this in more churches! I play for a church that uses traditional hymns, but i definitely have a great appreciation for gospel organ. Beats a praise band by a long shot any day! Way more soul!
Agreed. Christian Rock rubs me the wrong way. There are two types of church music in general that give me goosebumps: they involve either hymnals and 32' pedal stops, or Leslie speakers.
I may be a Jew (not related to you by any means, unless you are some of my black Jewish brothers and sisters), but I see this woman and am reminded of one of my sweet grandma’s from my Pentecostal church in my hometown. Before I moved west to attend Bible college (I’m majoring in pastoral theology at a Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada Bible College), I had this one woman who made me an honorary grandchild. Harriet plays the organ every Sunday night at Bethel Apostolic, and like this sweet sister when she plays you can definitely feel the anointing. Thanks for posting this video, it was a blessing to me.
How can she think she doesn’t do church music well ?! She had me up and praising our God the whole time and I’m sure my knees gave out when the music got faster. What a wonderful woman , God bless you and your family!!!
Just wanna say... this is one of the coolest videos I've seen on this website. Brings me to a time I wasn't even around to see.. and to my younger years when I still went to church with my mother and grandparents. But really, religious affiliations aside, this is just awesome. Love the sound of those organs and man can she play.
Incredible. What amazing feel. I'm just a 22 year old white boy who grew up in a mostly-white baptist church, and as a huge fan of the blues and gospel music, this just cuts directly to my core. Growing up, church was always soooo boring to me, but the coolest parts were always when the organist would play a piece while they pass around the offering plates and stuff. Now, this was a pipe organ so it definitely had a different sound to a B3, but it was always my favorite part of any church service. But this....this is just something else entirely! I would go to church every single day to hear some B3 playing like this!!! Something about that instrument just hits you right in the feelings and conveys emotion so incredibly well. And with playing chops like Mama Debra, you might as well skip the sermon, I just got all that I need by hearing her playing that organ. I am serious, there is nothing that a preacher could say that could make me feel the spirit as much as a Hammond B3 can. Maybe that is blasphemous to say that, but what a great tradition. To any young worship leaders out there who may read this, please please PLEASE don't let this instrument die and disappear from modern churches. Take in that raw emotion and embrace it in your services. It is just next level good.
This is Tha Sound to Our Roots and we can’t forget. Tha Deep South Know what I’m talm bout. I grew up on this Sound I’m 22 and it make me think bout My granny. That’s that spiritual Baptist Sound Right there!
So I'm all the way from Cape Town, South Africa and this just warmed my heart and filled me with so much joy. Keep going mamma! I love it! Lord let your holy ghost come on down!
Can imagine how smooth and sweet a player she was when younger, if she could still play this hard at this age. Some things don't just leave you like that.
