He was a real nice guy too! He took good care of us when we came to LA to sing for Keith Pringle's choir anniversary. He invited us to his home two days in a row and lent us one of his cars to drive. Don't care what they say the man was alright to everyday people like we were.
They don't do it like this anymore. Therein lies the problem. I love the Rev. James Cleveland. He is still blessing even though he has gone on. Now that's annointing!
I wish the 🎥 people would've scanned the audience and the choir more... He and Ms. Mahalia Jackson are my top 2 favorite singers. Been like that since I was 8. Rev. James you betta shout 🙌🙌🙌
who would have thought, this was June of 1990...and Feb 1991 he would be laying in front of the Alter stretched out for public viewing. BE YE ALSO READY
whatever Rev Cleveland was or died from, doesnt erase the fact that he was the KING OF GOSPEL. There will never be anyone close to him in the arena of gospel. All these meaningless songs they are coming up with today is laughable. Everyone is concerned with popularity and having a certain beat instead trying to minister and save souls. Rev Cleveland spent many countless years birthing songs that will minister until the end of time.
wow! but to die in sin is not good... gifts and callings are with repentance... WE HAVE TO BE SAVED MY FRIEND.. GOD SAID BE HOLY!!! let it be known gifts dont get us into heaven... we can boast on a person gifts all day but is your soul SAVED? ... Jesus came to SAVED us... dont get caught up in gifts... BE SAVE LIVE SAVE
Thank you for this, Rev. James Cleveland has a family no matter how others might feel about him, I think it's very disrespectful to his daughter. The bible says he that's without sin cast the first stone.
@@dantejones5289 that's true, but that's not the point, Google "Gospel doesn't need another James Cleveland" and you'll see how many men were infected with HIV from James Cleveland, Donald vails, Ricky Grundy, Daryl Coley ect. Innocent lives were lost because in the 70s, the road to success in gospel music ran through James Cleveland, no matter how talented you were, if you weren't connected with James Cleveland, you went nowhere, there were a few lucky ones who came across Milton Biggham instead and were successful
703:7:27.. One word.. ICONIC.. What a rare gem it is to see the Late Rev. James Clevelad shout and glide across the stage like he did.. I'm grateful for videos like this, because it captured him as the iconic and true Christian he was, while having a good 'ol time in the lord. It's sad that people become better known and associated with the nasty scandals others bought upon his labored name. Instead of the many works they did while on this earth.. Rest on Father.. Cuz church ain't even started over in glory land..
My Mother sang with James Cleveland on The Philadelphia Mass Choir and I remember so many of these Praise Breaks. You really could feel the power in the room.
Ben Fields I went to James Cleveland's church when it was on Washington and Crenshaw I can't remember the name of the song that the choir song when they were marching down the aisle I've been trying to remember that song
Dahntay Jones didn’t reverend Cleveland die from aids and stds if he did, that’s not right. Because the Bible speaks against it so he might be in hell with CL Franklin
This concert was recorded live on June 4, 1990 at cornerstone institutional Baptist Church. Off of Slauson and Western Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. My pastor the late great Reverend Eugene o. Bryant was the youth pastor for Reverend James Cleveland.
Have you ever heard about forgiving people. Forgive and God Can Forgive You. It all about Jesus blood on the Cross, His Mercy and Grace. They endure forever. Be Encourage and Keep the Faith.
SMH. LAW'D THIS VIDEO. GO ON JAMES. THERE ARE NO WORDS ON EARTH THAT COULD EVER DESCRIBE THE LOVE I HAVE IN MY SOUL FOR THIS MAN, HIS WORK, HIS MUSIC AND ALL THE GOOD HE DID IN LIFE. HE WAS A TRUE BLESSING TO MILLIONS WITH HIS POWERFUL MUSIC THAT ALWAYS LED YOU TO CHRIST. THERE WAS NO DOUBT ABOUT WHO HE WAS SINGING ABOUT WITH HIS LYRICS WHICH IS WHY I LOVE HOW GOD USED HIM. WE SHOULD ALWAYS LOVE ON HIS MEMORY AND NEVER BE MOVED BY THOSE WHO WERE NOT EVEN AROUND WHO TRY AND BRING HIM DOWN. HE WAS GOD'S ANOINTED!
The churches of today don't have time to help the people seek the lord and receive the holy ghost they are to focus on the people pocket books and wallets, rather than to see people to have salvation and a chance to gain eternal life. It's so sad that the leaders and saints of today churches are going to lose out on their soul resting in a place of glory. It is so sad that the most of the music that is being sang it don't deliver you it kills you spiritually because, it more about getting a name and money and truly not having a meaning to minster to someone soul;
yes!! i visited the DREAM CENTER CHURCH OF ATLANTA, i was very disappointed... just another microwave church!!! ...they programmed the holy Spirit out!!! its so timed framed.. very sad!
What he did was praise God in the Spirit and lead the church and it's choirs into some of the greatest moments in their history. He's up there dancing while the least are down here condemning and covering up.
Reminds me of being a little girl @Zion Apostolic Faith. As an adult who has been blessed to have my own personal relationship with God, it takes on a whole new meaning. Thank you for posting
My grandmother was in charge of the youth and events at this church ( Cornerstone Missionary Baptist church ) in Los Angeles California! She has countless VHS home videos of all concerts and events and her and James were close friends ! Never thought how big of a deal that is that she was around the King of Gospel music all the time ! Amazing to see videos of this .
well we were the gospel messengers, and the live recording was held on June 4, 1990 at cornerstone institutional Baptist Church. And at that time Nathalie Harris was founding manager of the Los Angeles Gospel messengers. And two years before her son Michael Harris had passed away. A year before Michael had passed away we had another live recording at cornerstone and Michael had sang make us one now mother Harris is retired because she retired in 2004, and had moved to Texas.
Apostolic Church of God ("ACOG") has not released an album since 1989. I am talking about when we have special guests such as Yolanda Adams, Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary and CeCe Winans... They have never charged for any of our concerts as you should NEVER have to pay to enter His house... Be Blessed!
I shot and edited this video,just 2 of us and with no timecode, all of the raw footage was lost by Savoy in New York, consequently what was released was the version I cut for Rev. Cleveland the day after the recording, which is why the last song in the video does not start in the beginning of the song.
This is a mazing 1990, I thought he was like back in the old days, when did he die? I can't believe how much ricky dillard sounds like him! I remember my grandmother talking about him but I thought that was like the 60's or something!
that time, reverend had his church on Slauson and western. Cornerstone institutional Baptist! And we as the messenger sang there. This was a live recording from June 4, 1990 at the cornerstone institutional Baptist Church. and at that time, David Swinney had previously sang lifting for me, and then reverend had went up to direct it. And you know reverend, during some of the songs he would talk about how God brought him through. Then the praise got high, and we started to do a praisebreak.
The church is now located at 4624 W Washington Blvd, in Los Angeles. I went there a few months ago. It's a small store-front church now and there were about 10 people there for Sunday morning service. There is a marker in the front of the building that says it was founded by Rev. Cleveland.
It is ALWAYS wrong to ever have to pay just to enter the house of the Lord!! Don't you ever in your entire life let anybody tell you otherwise. I live in Chicago and my church, Apostolic Church of God, has musicals and concerts every year and you NEVER have to pay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be Blessed!
Kurt Carr, was Music Director for Rev. James Cleveland from 1984 to 1991, he remained Music Director for the Los Angeles Gospel Messengers, from 1991 to 1996, as well as maintaining his own amazing, anointed, gifted group the Kurt Carr Singers, before during and the passing of The King Of Gospel Music, as a member of the 3 time Grammy Award nominated Choir, along with the other members were honored to sing under the leadership of the amazing Kurt Carr and we're all so proud of his amazing achievements as a Gospel Music Artists!
Kurt Carr became a member of West Angeles after the passing of our founder Rev. James Cleveland, I know that. He a member during the time of his leadership of the Los Angeles Gospel Messengers, which was 1991 to 1996 because he hired Jason White, Logan Reynolds, and several other musicians from West Angeles, to play for us as we traveled throughout the US, as well as local appearances.
@@dantejones5289 and mother Natalie Cleo Harris was our business manager at that time for the Los Angeles gospel messengers. She was there from 1982 until 1999 when she retired in 2012 I think.
@@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081 it was Natalie Harris one of reverend Cleveland’s last business managers of his last choir the Los Angeles Gospel messengers
@@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081 and her name is not Natalie, it’s NATHALIE with an h. The name is not that common, because we are usually used to spelling it Natalie. so I kind of know why you did that. But her name has an H in it.
@TheFirecogicuk ACTUALLY THE SONG IS ENTITLED I STOOD ON THE BANKS OF JORDAN . REV JAMES CLEVELAND AND THE ANGELIC CHOIR.THIS IS THE FOURTH VOLUME HE DID WITH THE CHOIR.THIS LP WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED AS SAVOY MG-14096 IN THE YEAR OF 1964.AND THE TITLED SONG IS THE FIRST SONG ON SIDE ONE OF THE LP.
@4lyfejj I'm telling you, when that builing goes up for sale I'm going to reconvert it back to a church even with the red light and the tiles behind the pulpit.
We had some real serious church this night. June 4, 1990 LA Gospel Messengers 4th and Rev. Cleveland's final recording. Wonderful memories, singing with the King Of Gospel Music, I'm a Kings Kid for life. RIP Reverend, you're gone but never forgotten!!!💓
