My Soul Doth Magnify The Lord O'Landa Draper & The Associates 

I truly miss this choir. Their vocals were great. You can tell Olanda had them well trained to produce such high quality sound. His infectious energy will forever be missed. They are hands down one of the best gospel choirs.

who else is still listening to this in 2023? like if you agree!

Black church music is EVERYTHING. It is the basis for all music. It touches your spirit. Even those who aren't "religious" can feel it. ♥

My soul still magnifies the Lord through the Corona Virus pandemic of 2020.

I woke up with this song on my heart this morning...My soul does indeed magnify the Lord ❤️

1 of the greatest choir acapellas of all time!!!!

I had the honor and privilege of singing with O’Landa Draper and he truly was a man of faith. We had Bible study, worked hard and Holy Spirit would minister to us during rehearsals but it paid off when it was time to minister. He was anointed to direct, write songs and minister. His contribution to gospel music and anointed music history lives on. All praise to God🙌🏽🙌🏼

Met this brother when I sung in choir at Arkansas State. Funny, funny brother. Jokes for days. But serious about Jesus. Super talented. R.I.P

No better than an authentic choir these people truly can sing no special equipment needed

He is greatly missed. He was surely before his time.

We used to sing this in the 90s!

this is as close to perfection as it gets!! looking clean too!! Praise Him

I loved O'landa Draper. He was gifted and talented. He was well before his time. His music and movements are yet effective today. The Associates were off the chain. Rest on O'landa.

Such a Choir! And man what a director! We miss you Mr. Draper! No one could direct a choir like you! An amazing amazing ensemble ‼️🥺🙏🏽

Brings a tear to my eye every time i listen 😢

God Almighty! I know O’Landa is directing the Heavenly chorus on 2nd & 4th Sundays! I wish we had about 5 more years of him, but God keeps the good ones close. RIP Angel...gone so soon.... S/N: my Junior prom dress looks something like these 😂😂😂 those were the 90’s 🤷🏽‍♀️

Man....this is LEGENDARY!!!!! R.I.P. O'landa Draper🙏🕊️🎶

My soul doth magnify the lord and my spirit hath rejoiced in god my saviour

James Hall and Worship and Praise gleaned from this Gospel giant. His legacy lives on. Love me some Olanda Draper and The Associates!

I was a little kid when I first saw this on BET, and this is still my song! “He has done so many wonderful and marvelous things!”🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️

This was the jam.

He ALWAYS gave the glory to GOD. Though he had become quite known for / as the innovator of his own particular style... He NEVER took the credit as an innovator etc. He NEVER failed to let people know that is wasn't about him, but about GOD. I don't think he ever set out to innovate... Rather, just to worship, praise and to be his own individual while doing it. #Amazing

I grow up on O'Landa Draper songs down through the years he was a blessing to me as a kid.

Classic track indeed they look like angels 👑

I'm literally in tears of inspiration and appreciation because I miss this type of Gospel Choir singing so much!!!! R.I.P. Min. Olanda Draper, you were a true gift to the world.

THIS WAS MY FAVORITE CHOIR & CHOIR DIRECTOR! I was heart-broken to hear about O'landa Draper sudden death many years ago. Thank God we have RU-vid & the likes to keep this awesome choir & director's music alive!! #keeprestingOlandaDrapper

With all due respect, but before there was a Ricky Dillard... 🔥🙌🏽

This song has me kneeling at the throne of God. Indeed, my soul does magnify the Lord!!!! Rest well Mr. Draper🙏🏿

*O'Landa: never got too see you direct and minister to "The Associates' " in person but through this medium.. Your legacy LIVES on.* 🎶🎵

Will never get tried of watching this video. Great

Went to be with the LORD at 34 years old. He did his work here on earth. GOD called on this amazing talented man wow his expressions give me life did not know him but see his beautiful work he has done r.i.p

I’m in love with this song

Best gospel song ever

Brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. 💪🏿👑💪🏿

Still...chills!! What a choir!! And O'Landa Draper!! RIH!!

Every centimeter of his body worshipped as he directed the choir. It must have been a wonderful, wonderful thing to have had this gentleman as one's choir director. How I long to get to experience something like this, and let my children also be able to experience it!

This took me all the way back!!!!

This is my favroute song ever!!!!

My very favourite song ever!

Praise God for his children who sing songs and praise his holy name in spirit and in truth.

He had their vocals on POINT

My favorite parts when they go “A WOW WOW”

He is now directing the heavenly choir. Jesus is smiling 🙏👍🏽

MY SOUL DOTH MAG NI FY THE LOOOOOOOOOORRRRRD

I am a Japanese living in Japan. I recently listened to it on the radio and followed the sound source. I am very impressed !!!!

He really did put his soul into directing that song. How can your soul not MAGNIFY THE LORD after listening to this? "MY SOUL DOTH MAGNIFY THE LORD 01/16/2021". THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow gospel 2000. grandma had it on vhs. as a kid in new york growing up before i started making music. my first artists i wanted to be were kirk franklin fred hammond john p kee and richard smallwood. i would imitate the choir directors every movement. i remember lowkey being scared whenever this video would come on because of how intense he was. and now hearing this as an adult and having a relationship with Christ. this really is a full circle moment

GUYSSSSS THIS IS MY JAMMMMM

OMG 😃 My soul doth magnify the Lord My first experience of my soul expression I've heard ! I'm totally in unison with mother Mary ❤️ Saints of heaven! Thank you Jesus Christ

WOW! I've been listening to Olanda Draper And The Associates Now for Too Many Years To Count And This Particular Video Is The First Time That I've Actually Seen Him Live And In Action ... I Feel Honored To Finally Be Able To Put Live Action With His Picture ❣ (THANK YOU JESUS)❣

He reached down and save me and he changed my name!!!!!! Yasssssss !!!!!

Grew up on this man and the Gospel Wow DVDs . Don’t it feel amazing to love God 🙏🏽. This will forever be my jam 🙏🏽

I love this song

oh lord i love hearing their voices

*Shouts out to Dallas, Sylvia, Deborah, and Lukresha reminds ME of those anointed filled days at Miracle Temple under the leadership of Apostle Benjamin L. Smith.*

I love this song.

O’Landa and Ricky Dillard are the Master Choir directors

This song is SOOOOO hard to sing. Its a capella & and to have to move to top of range to bottom of range super fast & that one part where the section has to stagger breathing cuz you go immediately from one line to the next & no music to cover the entire section breathing at the same time. We practiced this song FOREVER, but its still one of my very favorite songs!!!! A woo woo... :)

I côme back here every day

Still watching in 2020...

That HALLELUJAH sends me on up there every time!!!! Bless God!!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

WOW WOW MY FAVE SONG

No one loves this song more than me fr 🥺

THE Choir Director!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

so wonderful keep up the singing wonderful choir

I just love this man, may his soul rest in the arms of his Maker. Wooooow what a gift to the Church and gone too soon. It Shall be well. 🙏

God am back here again so good! Love you jesus

This reminds me so much of my childhood in the church. I’m so grateful for the choir experience I had, we loved singing this song, I was only 8 years old as a soprano! I loved the spirit of the choir, I will never forget it.

Magnifying the Lord in 2023! Thank you Lord

Nice ! Yamalamahiya

You can clearly tell that Ricky Dillard learned a lot and respected O'Landa Draper. They direct a lot alike and the whole choir is trained to saaaaaang.

The 12 people that dislike this going straight to HELL! This man is amazing! Loved this choir since BIRTH! This is my favorite song in all of Gospel! I Love his direction, he made you want to sing harder and with all of the Glory to God just because he was a so animated! I wanted to bee in his Choir so Badly! Love this Always!

This song just popped up in my head. They were disciplined.

🕊🕊🕊🕊🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🙌🏾👑😇🙏🏾

He died? Oh my God I never know that he passed am here rejoicing and laughing looking at him and shouting Hallelujah Hallelujah glory to God and enjoying his movement and action and said I never see a choir director moved like this yet only to go down further in the comments and find out that he passed away oh God why good people don't live long Lord you know

Yes he brought it to Goodwill Baptist Church in Seattle and we did just that.

At the closing of convocation every year he would SHUT IT DOWN. May he Rest In Peace
