There’s nothing like listening to the old gospel music that brought us through some tumultuous decades of oppression. It brings you strength and endurance to keep going on and forward making changes that will bless us. Woooo😭😭😭😭😭✨🙏🏽✨✨✨🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌹🌹🌹

most of these singers are long gone, they are so missed in today's gospel music.

The Barrett Sisters are not recognized enough today for being able to sing Alto and Soprano.

I was feeling so down and depressed. And start listening to this song. Nobody know my pain. Just see a smile.

I'm so glad we have film to look back at all these great people singing. I always wish I have a time machine to go back to the 70s. The music is timeless

Amen...we need Unsung for the Barrett Sisters

I am elated whenever I listen to this wonderful uplifting song. I praises be to God for such foundational gospel music. I remember the Roberta Martin singers as a young choir director in the mid to late 1950s. All the warm, gripping heartfelt music isn't written or seldom performed these days. If only churches of today would sing these inspirational songs, we as the church of God would be so much better off.

Beautiful old song. I miss this kind of music. Only a look. Amen

To God, Jesus, Rev. James Cleveland and the Chicago Chapter of the Metro Mass Choir. This Vessel Of God, this 24 year old Black Minister in the year 2024 thanks you. I remember somwhere in this album Rev. Cleveland talks about how this style of Gospel and the pioneers of said Gospel music was the inspiration behind the gathering was for us to understand that Gospel like this is the kind that get you through the week, through your toughest times, and reminds you just what God can do. They say that every generation must answer the question what/where is Jesus for them. He was in there music and thanks to this recording and streaming that we have today we can find him here too. I can’t tell you how many times God had allowed this song and album to prepare my sermon and prepared me to preach the sermon!

I wish it was still like this instead of a stage production

Hallelujah Hallelujah, that's what a call praising God Only a look🙏🙏

I LOVE Delois Barrett Campbell's singing! If I remember, I read somewhere that the late Marian Williams of the Clara Ward Singers said that Delois' voice opens up like a rose! Her color, phrasing, expression, delivery, and especially anointing is unquestionably superb. I'm elated that this theme song of the Roberta Martin Singers was recorded again. They are my favorite classical black gospel group. I learned how to first play gospel on the piano and organ by listening to Roberta play piano and Lucy Smith-Collier play organ and piano - also James Cleveland. I grew up on their records from an early age.

This is the Old School Gospel that my parents always played in our home Grew up on soul stirring music 🎶 like this HALLELUJAH

If my mother don’t sound like Delois Barrett!!!!! I can get singing it now!!!! Sing mama yes Lord sing mamaaaaaaa!!!! Sing in that heavenly choir!!!!! I miss you mam!!!! Babygirl🙌☝️❤️

Timeless…you can still feel the anointing in this song decades later!

The heaven must be rejoicing having Rev James Cleveland singing to them 🙏🙏🙏❤️🇿🇦

Jesus we need you more now than ever

There will NEVER be another Rev. James Cleveland. Even the way he play the piano. That old school southern deacon style has spiritual vibrations. R.I.P to the KING of Gospel🙏💯

Gospel pioneers!! 🙌🏾

THIS IS LIKE THE WHOS WHO OF CLASSICAL GOSPEL SINGING

You know it's bout to get good when everybody sweating.

Old school but soul school ! Praise The Lord ❤

My Lord My Lord what a classic, old school 🏫 gospel singing 🙌 🙏, to God be the Glory 😤 👏

See, that's what makes Black Christian singers from times past so great -- they can blend on the spot and sing from the heart unto God. But it takes a lot of work to hold it all together as Bro. Cleveland shows. So glad this popped into my feed today.

Come on Rev James Cleveland! Gloria, Tina, Delores Washington, Inez Andrews, Clyde Brown (Inez Son n law), Rubin Lightfoot, Rev Whitman, The Barrette Sisters, Minnie Kier (sp)?, Ya'll get in your sections (priceless)!! Rest In Love All Whom Have Gone On❤️❤️

Billie better sing it all the way down!

Aaah I am blessed, my brethren singing this song,I miss you, I will join you in glory, to sing together for the Lord.I miss you.Can't wait....cos I cannot see this being done this way, nowadays.You sing in the ears of my heart all day long and all night long.Then I find myself impenetrable by the enemy.I love you.

Now that is how you direct a choir!

I cry every time I hear this
