Remember Vanessa Bell Armstrong is the singer on the "Amen" sitcom intro in the 80's.

For you all who are commenting on the growling or emotionalism involved in black "Chuch" singing, ...don't if you don't worship in a black church...and let's remember that this is a homage to the Queen of "Soul" she would appreciate this delivery...which is why these particular individuals were invited. Loved it!...because I understand it!

These are legends. She was the headliner at a friend's birthday party last month. She sang one song and destroyed the stage. There will be no one like VBA.

THIS THE AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCH.....this is how we send saints home

I keep coming back to this.

Some of our greatest gospel singers right here. You gotta know

The legendary Vanessa Armstrong.

It's 3 years later. And I still enjoy watching this.

Vanessa is a Gospel Legend.....look and still sound good to me....yes Lord!!!!😭😭😭😭😭

It’s crazy how many gospel legends and secular artist have come out of Detroit

Now listen!!! They have given us a good African American service! Ya’ll betta sing now!!! This blessed me because it seems less performance and more ministering to the people & about the most I heard JESUS the whole service. Plus, it was great to see the Williams Brothers & Miss Vanessa always sounds great! Get to know Christ as Savior or miss living with Jesus forever!

vanessa never loose her voice. she belting those notes good and simple.

Detroit, the whole world has got their arms around you...

Some of y'all don't know SMH. Every church that I grew up in had one of those singers that sounded just like Ms. Armstrong. How many legends do we have in the comment section... I'll wait ⏳🤷

The singers of my childhood!

This gave me chills Mrs V B Armstrong & The Williams Bro 's did that my God My God🙌🙌

For those with something to say please reference the original version and/or attend a Baptist or COGIC Service.

This is a bless song. Old school.

This is a reminder that we are not alone. This is a reminder of how rich the fabrics of our lives are.... Our lives are woven with happiness, pain, joy, tears, faith, strife and bound together by God’s grace and mercy to allow us to worship and praise him for all that HE has done! Nothing in this life is promised or guaranteed. We each need to know that we never walk alone, and God never ever leaves our side. Whatever the situation look back on those precious memories to see how far God brought you through! Thank God for Jesus! Thank HIM for the Holy Spirit! Tears are not a sign of weakness, they are a way to release that burden that binds you. God is giving each of us a testimony, so go tell that to remind them that God is the beginning and the end. Nothing that we go through is in vain, Hallelujah!

Ain’t no harm to praise him....THATS RIGHT GIVE HIM THE GLORY!!! LET GOD BE GOD...MOVE OUT MY WAY AND LET ME GET WHAT GOD HAS FOR ME!! SOMEBODY NEED TO PRAISE HIM FOR THAT FAMILY THEY HURTING.

mrs.armstrong sends chills through me I saw her over 15yrs ago and she was in the play woman tho art. baby when I say she laid it dwn. i had my evil as sister in law with me I think she even got to her lol...bless this family

You Go Melvin! Vanessa still has her beautiful voice.

My favorite of the night. The anointing led to a praise break where people were actually shouting. Yes Lord

I watched the whole service, and I thought everyone honored her beautifully. Vanessa is AWESOME and to pair her with the William Brothers was Great I love both of them and they surely can SANG!

vanessa bell amstrong you are a epitomy of greatness!!!!

I see you Ricky Dillars directing that choir! He is doing the most! He makes it look so much easier than it is to keep the choir and 3 lead vocalists in sync and on key!!

All I’m sayin’!! This is a wake! Celebration of Aretha!!! Everybody coming to the table and giving their all!!!! Aretha is , has to be for me, one of the most amazing vocalist..and I truly love hearing all this music. She lives on. Ms. Franklin, thank you.

She has a marvelous range

this was the first time i heard auntie Vanessa .. and im glad i found her ❤️

Why yaw talking most of yaw don't know she is ya favorite artist favorite this is how she sing she also is older go listen to her in her prime she a beast

They sang it just like Aretha Franklin sung it... That's what made it great and ushered the Spirit right on in.. Praise Him! 👏 👏 Hallelujah! 🙌🙌🙌

Everyone coming together was absolutely beautiful.💒

The Williams Brothers turned it out !

This should have a million views. The BEST rendition I've ever heard of this song!!! When I heard this I KNEW this was a spirit-filled service.

Them Wıllıams brothers stıll can Sangggg!!

Vanessa Bell-Armstrong is one of the great gospel soprano soloists of the 90s (alongside Vickie Winans, Karen Clark-Sheard, and LaShun Pace). What a gift she has. Also, I didn't know how much my spirit needed to see Fantasia and Jenifer Lewis worshipping together.

Praise Him Melvin!!

Jesus was ALL Up through Auntie Reaths Fune!🙌🏾😍💯🙏🏾🙋🏾‍♂️.....Amen Somebody

Love me some Vanessa Bell Armstrong! Of course, The Williams Brothers 🙏❤️

it don,t get no betta than this, it,s Gospel Music time!!!!!!

It's all about Praising the Most High! The dead cannot praise Him! Let all who have breath praise Him!

The live feed cut out just as they walked out on stage. I knew they were about to tear up just because of the people that were coming on stage. When the live feed came back on they were in a the praise break. I am so glad this clip showed the whole part that I missed !!!!!!!!!

Vanessa and the Williams brothers !!!!!Hallelujah. !!!

They "turnt" it OUT!!!!! Thank you Vanessa Bell Armstrong & Melvin & Doug Williams. More than nobody else 'They dID "The QUEEN" JUSTICE!!!!!

Truly blessed to have legendary singer to sing at her funeral. Now these people really know how to have church!

Vanessa voice is on point

Gens later folks will watch these performances learning how sing true Gospel Music

My favorite song!!!! Vanessa is a LEGEND!!!! ARETHA WAS GRATEFUL!!!!

Now this is church ya'll, real back in the day church And the Spirit of the Lord fell because of the anointing that's on the inside of these great generals of Gospel music.

I LOVE THE WAY Tramaine Hawkins, Lisa Page Brooks, Yolonda Adams and Le'Andria sing, but "NOBODY" CAN SING LIKE Vanessa Bell Armstrong!!!! This lady sings like she is all of them mixed into one sound!! These are the best of the best people! I believe Aretha Franklin knew that Vanessa could out sing her, and that is why she asked her to sing at her funeral. I carefully listened to Vanessa song, "Nobody But Jesus"---MERCY, MERCY, MERCY! She blew "Peace Be Still" out the water!. And "Yes JESUS Loves Me" I can't say anything, but PRAISE THE LORD!

Didn't they do it!!!!! Made me cry, shout, and dance. It never amazes me to see white people look at us like we're crazy. What they don't understand is that we are naturally spirited. We don't mind praising Yah!!! We don't mind giving Yah the glory!! We will shout, rock, clap, run, dance, praise and lift our hands!! Pass out if the spirit hits us hard enough. They're in the band looking around like they lost @ 9:04 and throughout the praise session...like what is this? What are they doing? See they don't know Yah like we know him. Black people have endured the worst of the worst and we still praise him...We praise and call on him during the storm. We literally love him, he is in us.

My mom shouted at my great grandma's funeral. That was some good old fashion sannging. Sometimes you have to go back to those good ole songs. Praise God!!

Vanessa is still a power house!!!

Now this is what you call an old traditional back home song you sing when the family burial lot is in your back yard or on the same acres of your family home and where the street sign bare your family name! Only black folks from the country that grew up with out houses or the children kinfolk who travel every Summer to visit and remember their roots know about songs like this! Amen!

Vanessa, I love her soooooooo much! My favorite all-time gospel singer!!!!!!!!!!

All of the singers did a exciting home going for this matriach of Detroit . Amen praise God.

Vanessa Bell Armstrong...YESS LORD SHE AINT NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH 🙌🙌🙌

They came in the service of the Lord! God Bless our great Queen........Ms. Aretha Franklin!

This song is so anointing

Was that Regina Bell they showed in the audience! Wow...

I Grew up Listeningto Aretha Franklin!!

I love her voice

My favorite part of all the clips I've seen.

Sing It Vanessa Bell, And Great Williams Brothers Old School Singing Love It!!!!!

Vanessa yet has it !!!!! I love to here her ! Vanessa Bell is A true singer.

I have not been to church like this in a long time. I felt closer to God after this one.

Growing up going to every Willliams Brothers concert with a praying and loving grandmother and godmother. I knew how to pray and know gospel music. I say Thank u Thank u Lord .........Grandma fought cancer and still here Thank u I don't know where i would be without u ❤❤❤❤❤

Yall gon stop coming for the legendary Ms Vanessa Bell-Armstrong like yall grandma sing better. The modulations, the riffs, the growls are aged according to how the Lord has kept her through her health challenges. Any complaints, take it up with him cause she still moves the saints that appreciate good ol church. Amen

This is what brought so many of our ancestors through times way worse than what we're living in now. Good old fashioned raw soul singing and praise. One of my mother's favorites. Precious memories of Aretha and all the other greats gone before. Beautiful!

Home sweet home, no pain and worries in Heaven. What a beautiful Home going. RIP my Heavenly Father is waiting for you with open arms.

Beautiful and spirited singing! I will have to find some of these gospel singers music to download. Very moving!

I’m so glad I can appreciate this clip for what it is...a soulful homecoming and not a talent, singing, or fashion contest. Most people in the comment section are very unaware of what mourning & travailing sounds like and while I pray for these youths (thinking more about hair color and screams): Lord, turn their mourning into dancing when their time comes because it’s coming and the last thing many will be thinking about is what they look or sound like. These legends came for Aretha!!

Respect 💖

Mrs.Vanessa Bell Armstrong is still a BEAST!!! The Best of the Best. TO GOD BE THE GLORY. Continue Ms. Armstrong.

Wow I LOVE this ❤️💓❤️💓🙏🙏 it touches me so deeply I was 9or10 when this song was done back in 1971 how I miss these songs the church choir's need to go back to these soul saving songs I humbly thank and praise God for these times in those days 🙏🙏 I grew up in there's nothing like your memories special ❤️💓🙏

Sometimes you got to moan so the devil don't know what you talking about.. DO YOU KNOW HIM?

Im so Sorry Aretha has passed I will miss Her deeply!!

Take me back to church with my mom...😔🙌😢...

Let the church say Amen.

Vanessa’s belt at 4:56 and hollers at 8:26 had me shook lol 😂

Thank you Church of Detroit. You sent her well.

Yes! Glory! Praise God what a blessed homegoing.

I seen that another one of my favorite artists was at the QUEEN OF SOUL ARETHA FRANKLIN service was Rev Marvin Snapp. 😇😇😇😇

To GOD be the GLORY 🦶🦶🦵👏👏👏👞👞👞👞👞👓👓👓👓
