I want to thank everyone who liked and commented on this video. I was fortunate to sit in the first row with my children. It was so emotional and special; I was in tears a lot. I am grateful for the opportunity to share this special moment. Happy New Year and best wishes of world peace, health, happiness, and beautiful music to you all.
Honestly, this has become my favourite video. Thanks a bunch for sharing this. It shows the beauty of faith, family and love. A true gift from God. And I loved listening to Elder Goldwire for quite some time and when I found out that he was Samara's Grandfather, it blew me away! I watch this video all the time and I always smile from ear to ear! God bless you and thanks again.🙏🙏🙏
I love that Samara Joy has been raised to have great respect for her elders and her ancestors. That respect is definitely reflected in everything she sings. That is why G-d has made this young lady successful!👍❤️🎤🎶
As much as I love Samara and all that she brings, I love how she sat back and honored her grandfather. They are all amazing. I requested and received both of her vinyls for Christmas. I look forward too seeing her perform live.
I fell in love with Elder Goldwire McLendon years ago on "Sunday Best" I am so happy to know he's still around and still a remarkable voice. God's riches blessings to him and his amazing granddaughter....
@@inspirebymikaeli3502 That’s her granddad! I’ve loved him since his days on Sunday’s Best! I’m a big fan of his and was ecstatic when I started following her and then learned that she was his granddaughter. ❤
Yes! Sing it! Wow, she can't help be great, she comes from greatest. He is 92 singing like an angel, music for your soul from this beautiful, and talented family❤❤😊😊
WOW! He is blessed beyond measure. Elder McLendon was my choir director at Mt. Olive Holy Temple (Philadelphia, PA) along with his wife, Ruth McLendon. Powerful and anointed man and woman of God!
Well it's no surprise to me that Samara comes from such a talented and gifted family! And to see Elder Goldwire McClendon on stage was truly a thrill! May God continue to bless the beautiful young woman and her entire family of song!!!
What a wonderful treat it was to hear this talented family sing so sweetly! And the elder statesman with his beautiful runs, that was the icing on the cake! They're all so talented, congratulations to Samara Joy on her Grammy win!!!
I just love my Mclendon family. GOD IS still Blessing you! We grew up in the same church under my uncle's tutelage; Pastor TJ Martin. Bethel Holy Temple was Blessed with many gifts, but one of our rarest treasures was The McClendon Family. They served GOD without the pretense many artist possess today. When my mother died, they 'sang' at her homegoing service and provided a very bright spot to a very horrific experience. I still remember their melodic tones till this day. They come across through the grands incredible voices😂! I miss Aunt Ruth, Kenny & Beverly. Rest on Tom and Carl❤❤❤
This performance brought tears to my eyes. I have been following Samara for years. and the world has not seen anything yet. TALENTED TALENTED TALENTED. AND THE GRANDFATHER. WOW. It was so touching when she put her hands on his back.
Awesome as always guys... Our family will always represent and honor God with not only integrity, but with musical gifts. ❤️ I miss you all. Beautifully done.
One Inez McClendon(CIP) and the WSHS Chorus introduced me to this song. This was a favorite of ours, I think. This and Carol of the Bells. This is such a warm and beautiful moment. There's a portrait here too if any able are willing to capture a glimpse. When something is spoken of as "food for the soul" this is a sure example.
Oh my Word I had the esteemed pleasure of meeting Elder Goldwire McClendon over 22 years ago at another Pastors Anniversary. I had no idea of the family connection with Samara Joy McClendon.
I love this because whoever we are our lives are so very much important to all of us around us regardless of the color of our skin, and how much education we have or whether we are rich or poor. When we learn who the voice was fom the Mountain Top and the crack, we will fully understand why we are all in this together
They got me in complete tears of gratitude for sharing their Heavenly gifts of music with us. Can you just imagine what their family reunions must be like?! I'd plum faint from all of the goodness and musical anointing just oozing from each and every direction. Haha! I absolutely loved this moment captured in time. Take care and God bless.
Loving the family more. Grandpop you are an amazing artist. Samara I love you more because of the history That lies within this family. Thank you! I just got to see this today 02-23-2023. WOW!!!
Samara, please don't ever stop representing our King Jesus!!! You must carry the torch!!! God Bless your family from generation to generation. Be the light in the entertainment world, it desperately needs to see Jesus! God Bless you Beautiful Lady!🫶
I love this so much. I think of my family, my Dad Boston Smith, my uncle Buster Smith and all of the five brothers and their music. I miss them all so much that it is just a joy to listen to this family and they sound so very great.
