Old church choir style can never be replaced. I hope we soon begin to realize that. Worship in this way always produced a certain kind of results and it still does.
This is a wonderful song written by Min.Jeffery LaValley. He taught it to Fellowship for their Spring Festival. He ALSO taught it to Wilmington-Chester Mass. It's a powerful song of affirmation of the reign of the Lord.That's steve Jones directing the choir,and yours truly on the organ(smile).
When I listen to the current choir singing, I find myself saying that everything they sing sounds alike...contemporary. Thank GOD for these clips of the good ol' 'Ship from back in the day!
WOW! "Holy Holy Holy" ... BrothaRollins, what an AWESOME song, not to mention an immaculate SOUND from back in the day. The words and MELODY of this song were absolutely beautiful. The music in the church today is a lot different from how it used to be when I grew up. Traditional gospel music is my first love and I will always cherish it. Thanks for sharing your clips, I truly appreciate it.
@busdriver46 I agree with you 100%. I am 44 grew up on traditional gospel music as well as contemporary, and it's just something about the traditional music that stays in my heart.
BrothaRollins, you have no idea how much you are blessing me with the "What A Fellowship Hour" clips. I too remember this one by Ernie's Wilmington Chester Mass Choir. They also are one of my all time choirs. If you have anything by Ernie and WC Mass , please post them. P.S.and more from Mother Consula youk too. I loved to hear her anointed voice! Thanks for the memories!
I haven't begged Mr. Taylor for more copies of classic Fellowship broadcast, did u see the clip of Sis. Shirley Bell singing "Lord You SHo' Been Good to Me". check it out
I like to speak positive about most things but I have to bring the choir up. Have you heard the choir lately? The choir sounds like a bunch of kids and the powerful voices are mostly non-existant. Rev. Evans will say over and over, "Rev Jenkins is doing a marvelous job". Rev. Clay Evans isn't worried about anything Rev. Jenkins does.
Hey Bro. Min. Pierre! U betta lif' HIM on dat O'gan! This is Min. Donna from Vernon Park Church of God in Chi-town! How U doin'? Call me at the church, I need to connect w/ya!
