The Fairfeld Four "Pass Me Not"/"Today" Rehearsal Footage & Song 

So great seeing the original lead singer, late GREAT Sam McCrary, and Reverend Richardson and James Hill! The Fairfield Four and The Skylarks members kept the great tradition alive today. Bass singer Dickie Freeman is also in a class of his own. All real gentlemen and it's always been a great pleasure of mine talking to and hearing this pheonominal group!

Wonderful unamplified B1s from Isaac Freeman!

Man, Issac Freemans bass voice is pure power. and theres no mike close to his mouth. awsome

I always enjoy listening to the Fairfield Four, but the highlight to me is the bass, Mr. Freeman. I love to hear him sing, I was to sorry to learn of his passing. RU-vid has provided a means to insure that he nor the Fairfield Four will never be forgotten. May God bless and keep the Fairfield Four!

Just stumbled on this great video. After hearing that great bass note of Mr. Freeman's at the 18 second mark, I knew I'd heard it somewhere else before. Sure enough, after a quick check on the IMDB website it seems two of these fine gentlemen appeared in the film "O Brother, Where Art Thou? " with George Clooney. Just goes to prove, you a GREAT bass like that ... You don't forget it any time soon.

The Fairfield Four, one of the best gospel groups of their time!!!

Thank you, Thank you ,Thank you, And God"s Blessings on you.

Who wouldn't love to have grandfathers like this.

All of these men are gone...sad!!!

I went to high school with the son of Rev. Richardson. He was a good man!

Even experienced groups have to keep up the planning and practicing in order to sound their best for the audience. Excellent work gentlemen.

Pass Me not is not on any of their CDs but the song they are working on "Today" is on their Grammy winning 1998 CD called "I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray". It's called "Help for the Needy" (Today).

I will second that! Amen to the truth!

please bring this back!!!! i mean tye tribbett and mary mary... they aight... but groups like these used to bring down the holy spirit something serious. They didn't have auto tune, or anything. Just saying.

I love how Brother Isaac leads the rehearsal. Was that his last rehearsal with the group?

and the church said AMEN!!!!

There are plenty of vids on youtube debating which gospel singers are the best basses, and you never see Issac Freeman on any of them. And he could take on anybody easily with few singers that can beat him.

Love to play this song. Anyone know where I can find the Lyrics or sheet music for it?

I so wish I had a Granfather :(

Do you mean to say there was not a Willie Love who was once married to Dorothy love Coates?

whats the name of the first song they sang on this video when he was praying???

where do you get this stuff from?

@brunix2007forever the song is a hymn...Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross

Where can i find the full song with lyrics.

Actually the name of the song is Pass Me Not.

GREAT SONG!!!! WATCH 5:29... HILARIOUS!!! HE LOOKS SO TIRED!!! BUT THEY DID A GREAT JOB!
