Anyone who sang under her was blessed. She used to say” someone get me my glasses so I can hear the altos.” She made us want to sing! Under her our choirs were invited all over. We were beasts cuz she was a beast!

She passed away the same dad my father did...may the both rest in peace and her music will live on forever...

I sincererly hope I am not bothering the neighbors but I had to turn this up to properly enjoy it.

There aren't too many female organ legends left. We'll miss you Aunt Beck.

This is what you call anointed! How Great Thou Art is exemplified in Dr. Carlton's style. I've never been to Phili, but I grew up in New York City....I know good organ playing, and this woman of God is phenomenal! Praise Be to God for her. May she continue to win souls to the Lord through her anointed gift of music. Bless you all!

The 17 who disliked this video are in my prayers. This sister has blessed me! Dr. Carlton is such a blessing.

I am a member at sanctuary church of the open door. i started playing piano and organ about three years ago and she was my mentor. she taught me so much and was the first one to really give me a chance and start me off playing at church. she's been pretty for a little while and today at church she came and the organist played this song in tribute to her on the same organ in this video. earl, you're a great organist and another one of my mentors but you had nothing on this performance.

Beautiful wow I feel your aperitif Amen Glory to God my sister yesssssss sir think you Jesus 7/22/20😇😇❤️❤️💕💕

Dr. Carlon: I enjoy your music very much and bless us with more: Rev. Michael Capps, Ph.D Bishop:

WOW! Listen..... this type of playing you can't make up, she managed to keep it classic but add her signature flavor to it!!! JUST WOW!!! 🙌RIP

My, my, my, it is quite evident, Dr. Becky Carlton really knew the Hammond Organ extremely well. May God rest her soul...

She was an awesome musician and such a sweet Woman of God. My mom was a member of that ministry until she passed in 2000 and Dr. Carlton and the Music Department did so much for us. RIP Dr. Carlton

I love her playing and her spirit! She awesome! TJ First African Baptist Church Philly

Dr. Carlton will be greatly missed. Along with Bishop Brunson, of course, she WAS the Sanctuary! R.I.P.

An interesting take on such an old hymn.

I'm so sorry to hear of Dr. Carlton's passing! My mom was a member of Sanctuary before her passing and sang with the music ministry there. She was such a sweet woman!

Excellent!!! You are an anointed psalmist, Dr. Becky!

Yes, sir!!!! NOTHING like a Hammond!

My goodness. I'm loving it. I am so sorry to hear that she is no longer with us. I hear a little Billy Preston in there!! But I definitely hear her personality coming out on those keys!!! This is some real good Hammond playing right here.

I need her at my church! Wow!

@allencofield I'm sorry to hear this news!!!!!! I had the opportunity to sit under Dr. Carlton and she was trully a mentor & a mother! She imparted so much into me, I will never forget that.. Prayers go out to her family & the Sanctuary church family... Zak Williams

i appreciate her classic style!

She is really feeling it

Sorrowfully, I must anounce that Dr. Becky Carlton went home to be with the Lord today October 19, 2010. Pray for her family.

That sound penetrated my soul made me remember the days of old

Sometimes I hear music that touches my heart with so much feeling. Dr Becky Carlton has done that for me. Much respect.

Tearing it up with spirit! Yes indeedy. Thanks for sharing with the world.

wow this lady can play

Guess we know who will be playing this number in heaven from now on. God must be very happy to have her in the choir now. R.I.P. Becky. I never heard you in earthly days. I look forward to hearing you in my heavenly days! 3)

this just made me smile!! so anointed!

Amazing

Thank you for sharing this with us. She is wonderful. I wish I had the opportunity to hear her in real time. :(

This is how it's done, people. Listen and learn!

There is no other like MY Co-Pastor Dr. Becky Carlton. If you know of anyone else who can make an organ cry, please let me know. Praise the Lord that we not only get to hear this anointed woman of God here on You Tube but we get to hear her every Sunday. Join us at 5923-41 Walnut Street and see God through our Bishop, Audrey F. Bronson. You won't leave like you came, in Jesus name!

My Newiest inspiration. I hope I can meeet her oneday!!!!

Lord, You Know.......

Lovely version of that Swedish song.....Wow

I know what you mean. She is a phenomenal talent. I do not know of any other female organist in the City of Philadelphia who can come close to her. I will be awaiting your post of her earlier recordings.

Amen Doctor go ahead, beautiful

"Gramps" probably heard this song sight read from a Lutheran Hymnal and played on a Harmonium in some place like Minnesota or North Dakota (the original melody is Swedish, though was probably introduced to the Black gospel canon through someone like Mahalia Jackson). As far as whining about glissando on the organ, I wonder if "Gramps" ever heard of Jesse Crawford? Theater organists have been using glissandos in Theater organ playing since the 1920s (and Don Leslie who invented the Leslie speaker was a theater organ fan). Gramps is sort of right about how they probably would sound bad on a "traditional" (White) church Pipe-organ. Dr. Carlton's version is similar to the version that Billy Preston recorded in 1965, Upon hearing the original Preston version and other slower cuts on that record, I wondered if Preston listened to Theater organists a little?

AWESOME!!!!

There's nothing like a Hammond! May God continue to use you in the music ministry.

Alrightttt!!!!!!

I can't believe she can play gospel music like that

@HammondBishop Sanctuary Church of the Open Door, Philadelphia, PA 61st & Walnut Street

awesome.............yes saaaaa

Please post something from her older collections. She is PHENOMENAL!

shanda lol i go 2 sanctuary nd she also has been a mentor to me i play the drums nd just started out on the organ nd she gave me alot of pointers

So soothing!

She reminds me of Baltimore's own Dr. Gloria Thompson

Music for the hart

She is not only a pretty lady but full of talent. I'l be posting some of her early recordings soon. Linwood Heath

@allencofield My family was very close to her and even Pastor Bronson we were among the first members of Sanctuary way back on Larnchwood... up till we moved out the city in 98. Do you know how God called her home?

Im sorry gramps but she is putting some feeling in it. And everyone doesn't play the every piece of music in the same style.

WOW...This lady truly had an anointing. Did she ever do a CD with her music on it? Dr Carltons' fingers look like they just float over the keys. GREAT video.

❤️🎹💕🎶🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yooo granny a bad pun de organ star!!!

She know how to use that Vibrato

actually because of the slow drum, it would be great for pipe organ music. it sounds just like the tremulant.
