Albertina Walker and Them Caravans-C' Mon Now!!!❤️👍🙏🎉🙂🎁 They were like a 1950's and 60's version for The Clark Sisters!!! I love The Soul Stirrers too!!!
This is that old time religion that healed my polio as a child, Healed my chronic asthma attacks and delivered me from death door. To God be the Glory. If we want true deliverance we must return to the days of old when we did not play church, we lived it.
And another thing... In that time and era...you had to be able to flatfooted sing..No gimmicks, no auto tune.. Just sing..You might grow older..but if you'd been faithful to your voice..it would be faithful to you...
I feel like I'm at church ... back in the day ... with my grandmother ... and my father playing the guitar for the choir ... and I have a flared pastel-colored dress on, Shirley Temple curls in my hair from the curlers used on the stovetop, and very slippery dress shoes that were tight as a mug. 💒😇😇😇😇
Meeting At The Old Campground was a song Slaves sang referring to the Underground Railroad! I learned this yesterday from watching a documentary here on RU-vid about Harriet Tubman.
I was born in 1953. One of the advertisements was "Artra skin tone cream". I remember that. You might call it 'old time gospel' but I was there. I'm 'still' tapping my foot. 😎
No coward soldiers! God, help me to be a good soldier in this soldier warfare. Sing Caravan ❤ Pastor Shirley, you are true to your gift. God has truly blessed your ministry. Thank you God!
Albernita tore it up! It's so good to see them in their young prime...this is history. Your channel is really a learning history lesson. EVERYTHING that you have is a treasure that must be cherished and protected for future generations.
Further back THE CLARA WARD SINGERS SET THE INDUSTRY ON ITS HEAD BRING ECUMENICAL MUSIC TO THE SECULAR WORLD TO ALLOW THE TRUE SPREAD OF THE GOSPEL WITH CHOREOGRAPHED PRAISE DANCING.
Yes it is island. You can tell they sung under the anointing. Back in the day we had a junior choir and a senior choir. I was so glad when it was our Sunday to sing. Hard nowadays to get people to come to church let alone do something for the Lord. Sing or what have you. Stay safe and well my friend.
@@georgiatarton8944 Thanks and same to you. When I began taking piano lessons, I played Gospel! In church, Piano, Organ...that was it. Now you have drums and whatever else. Just so different!
@@islandgirl5382 So true Island Girl. Now you everything a musical studio have in it. Bongos, chimes, digitalized sounds. You name it. And just think, bak when our great parents were in church, all some of them had was a couple tambourines and foot stomping power. 😊. Anointed tho. Stay safe and well my friend.
Geez, Man. Now I'm in here clapping, smiling, and tears are rolling down my face. I love this. There's nothing this pure in 2021 as far as I have seen. This is great. Thanks @reelblack. You always have great content that I share very often. Keep up the great work!
You can't really tell tell this so called gospel music from worldly music nowadays. Old church songs had you so on fire on the way to church that by the time you got to church you was already in the praise rhealm and ready to praise God. Stay safe and well and keep praising God my friend.
Since the pandemic, I have certainly missed our choir ensemble. I love our front-line singers, but it is just something about a choir that makes a Sunday service!
They help usher in the Holy spirit I just love singing in a choir and listening to choir you can't beat it. You can say what you want to a praise team is good but you just cannot beat a choir. That's at least my opinion .
When my mother was sick the black woman who took care of us little white kids played this and similar shows on Sundays and I still sing some of the songs myself.
If I ever enjoyed anything about being taken to a Baptist church as a child, it was the feeling of hope I felt when listening to the different choirs sing, as this video surely reminds me of those experiences I had. We were always spiritual as a people first, that is a fact, and the slave ships that made those transatlantic voyages were full of spirituality in those bowels. Spirituality has and always will represent hope for betterment, that's why as a people, if we continue to relent to religion ahead of spirituality, doom surely awaits us...
Paul Foster (Soul Stirrers) leading the song "Toiling On"! "Have you ever been burdened and pressed within? Have you ever been surrounded by evil men? Don't worry, try to be strong, keep toiling on!!!
Toiling on was every soul of the black man felt the pain. And my father was One of those who worked from sun up till sundown and be so tired we help him take off his Boots. Yes it was hard but we love each other because we wanted to live like Christ Jesus and it showed up. Today I'm so happy that it never left my soul in the Lord word. He created in me a new mind ❤️ body and Soul to live like him Holy Ghost filled.
Oh thank you for this! Your selections never cease to amaze! I was upset off the top with the ads. However grateful to feel this powerful energy of The Holy Spirit! ❤
"God don't want no... He don't want no coward soldiers... He don't want no coward soldiers in His band." 14:58 - 17:10 🏃🏾♀️🤸🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🤸🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🤸🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️
I use to sing this song so much because I heard Mr Jesse Williams and my brother Leon and those boys of tarpon springs singing I wanted to sing with them but I heard this group is a ma.n group it's ok I still deserve to sing it for Jesus Christ oh yes for Jesus Christ Almighty God. Love ❤️ you it
Everything that RnB/ soul became came from this. Shirley leaves the microphone red hot after she finishes. The inflections, the in between ad libs, the timing, the notes that nobody dares to attempt, God gave us that! It helped us back then. More than we know .
This is so amazing! Thank you, Mike. A childhood friend introduced me to Gospel Music, and I had never heard anything more wonderful. I fell in love with this music and bought every album I could when I grew up. I listen to them all the time and always will.
14:55 THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I used to watch this clip of them singing this all of the time and then it got taken down. I am so happy to watch it again!! It moves me every time!
This probably was one of the best episodes, if not the best to me. Why? Because I loved the Caravans! Especially Shirley Caesar! Shirley is still one of my favorites to this day.
Shirley has been singing and preaching HARD for over 60 years and has still maintained the same vocal qualities. I'm convinced lower placed voices with rasp usually age better - due to it being harder to hear a vocal decline. There are only a few exceptions, like Patti.
Awesome real-deal gospel by true legends. I remember this show when I was a kid. It was rare and "special" to see black people doing "anything" on TV back then. I love leads by ALL of these ladies and ALL of the various lineups of The Caravans. I was hoping that Cassietta George would step up and take a lead also. Love her unique sound and style. Thanks for uploading this historical treasure!!
I am so happy to have seen this video!!! Y'all better SANG!!! 🙌🙌 From the beginning to the end the spirit of the Living God is present. It took me back to Greater Nazaree Baptist Church in Mobile, Alabama. Now 70 years later and it still has me rejoicing💃💃💃💃💃💃 Take me back to the Old Landmark! My God!👏🏾👏🏾
Thank YOU!!!! Awesome.... Awesome..... Awesome! OH MY.... Another great video! Sir/Ma’am, I have been sharing ALL month (in keeping with Black History Month) but as you know, I LOVE your channel!
Doing this time people ment it from Thier ❤️ it wasn't a show it was deep expression from the Soul. I remember how I felt when I first felt like screaming from my ❤️ how I caught on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 shouting raising up my hands to Jesus. The Old caravans what I Heard Real Truth about what they knew. Holiness.A strong Tower and power from I home
No need for a suntan. It's natural! Thank God for all skin. Whatever you're born with be greatful! Suppose you were a burn victim, they would accept any skin.
God maketh his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: Hallelujah!!! Numbers 6:25 There is nothing like serving the LORD God in the blessed name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour!Truly these voices have stood the test of time; some may have gone on to be with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! But all of their works are in the Book of Life! Always Your Sister of Love, 💕 ❣Ms. BelindaMae Brown❣
Thank you so much for this upload - so great to see Shirley Caesar so young with the Caravans. I have lots of recordings but I've not seen any old footage like this. Thank you. :)
