Hearing this choir singing this hymn gets me high every single time no matter what is going on in my life. Nobody can top them. HALLELUJAH!!

WOW! I thought I would never see this again. I remember as a 11 year old watching this program on WHYY Channel 12 in Philadelphia. The program had Hezekiah Walker and an early version of the Love Fellowship Crusade Choir and a few other local groups who sang as well. That was great music then and great music now. Bring back the days...

Thank you so very much for posting, I was just saying to my mom and sister I would like to see a video with Reverend Davis before his last video recording. To GOD be the glory he gave his best until the end on this side. Rest well man of GOD you are missed. The Williams family.

I used to love it back in the day when you had that one soprano hit that high note

Hey FreLi77...thank you so much for posting Ernie and WCMC. From day one when I saw them in concert there was a renewed appreciation for the Gospel message set to music. Ernie had work very closely with a workshop choir I used to sing with. He had become my favorite director of all time. I loved his energy and seriousness. I can boast that I have every release of WCMC. Thank you for posting these JEWELS. God bless you!!!!

Ya'll really blessed my soul with that annoited singing. Shouting and praising God is all good but sumtimes we need that real worship and that ministering of song 2 our spirits and this chior did jst that. God bless u keep up the good work for the Lord.

This is down right beautiful, the musicians were great, everybody has their on style, nothings wrong with the organ, i'm sure it was serviced for this concert. R.I.P. Ernest Davis Jr..

Oh man this is the version I've been lookin' for too!!!!!

I have a video tape of this exact performance and i've been watching it since i was a kid! Hez did his thing on this too. And so did Daryl Coley!!

LOVVVVVE IT!!!!! Take me back to the 80's...some of this new stuff I can't stand..truly I appreciate the old time way..Thank you JESUS for your loving kindness to us all..I pray we will all be ready for JESUS return.

I remember when this aired on tv back in the early 1990's. I loved it then & I'm glad I found it now on KZfaq in 2020.

I grew up in this choir and @ 4 yrs old had no idea how ahead of his time Ernie Davis Jr. was. The spirit, nostalgia, and memories of this song almost brought me to tears. RIP Ernie!!! Take it home to my Jesus

This album really helped me during the early '90's when I first heard it!! Getting saved, going to church in hartford ct....growing, getting healed!! Wild

those are some throw back robes...with the names and everything!

YALL BETTER SING THE SONG NOW!!! This was truly a classic!!! They didn't even have to over do it either... And whoever came in on solos at the end... whew... almost had me shouting!

OMG!!!!! I literally yelled when I saw this...this brings it back..thanks so much for posting this.

Beautiful and Powerful. Ride on King Jesus!

blessing u for posting this

WOW! It's good to see all of them. I haven't seen them in years. The guy in the glasses is Dean [Rest in peace, Dean and Kenny].

After all these years....I'm still loving WCMC. Hit, after hit, after hit. I can' t wait until May 6 2010 . That's when the 10th CD is going to be released. I miss Ernie greatly. I can truly say that WCMC wears his name loud, and proud!!!! Continued favor WCMC.....Maryland loves you!!!!

I remember singing this in fifth grade back in the 80's, I was thinking of having my music class try out this song.

Still powerful ❤

WCMC changed ma life. Ernie introduced me to recording. I was just a Tenor but I learned so much. Now I'm a minister of Music and a studio owner. My Kids get a real kick of Seeing Uncle Lem and I as kids ourself..... Front n Center! Little did I know..... How much I was Learning.

This is a Great song, No matter how it's Presented. I've heard it Sung by " Half Asleep choirs & Very excited choirs, Both have their place. Scripture says: Make a JOYFULL Noise unto the Lord. Please don't be afraid to show Some Excitement when singing to the Lord.

now thats what im talking about you got folks singing.hitting high notes

my! my! my! that's a different quality of gospel music right there! good stuff!!!

when i was young we use to sing this song and tear the church down.

now that's true singing right there. Throwback for real

this was the best performance of this song. Wow!

throwback!!!

Oh the Good Days. I can remember...I want em back! lol

Great!!! Just unbelievable!

YALLL BETTA SING

yes GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they are really good

My new fav song

Been trying to find an inspiring version of "Ride On King Jesus" I love this version and the medley!!!

ol' skool!

classic LOVE IT

that is true,

They singin' it well!

dude on organ killin in ''88''

Amen choir!

Shouting!!!!!

The point is the lyrics, the worship, the praise that breaks forth, too many times people get caught up in the "music" rather than the glory.

Classic Love Brasil

Does anyone have the music to this? It is awesome. I know "Ride on King Jesus" but never heard the 2nd song......

@Dewkoh, the choir combined two other African American spirituals with "Ride On King Jesus". Those songs are "In That Great Gettin Up Morning" & "Ain't That Good News". I featured this choir in my pancocojams blog post "The Directing Styles Of African American Gospel Choir Directors". That post also features a video of In HIS Presence Choir singing another rendition of this song, & 1 video of Rev. James Cleveland, the Chicago Mass Choir singing other songs, Google that title. Peace!

We Israelites are the SALT of this earth!!❤

i agree

ARRIBA ALIANZA !!

@ChakaKhanian I like the harmony!

october of 1991

Miss You Ernest...Rest In PeaCE!!!!!!!

i did say that i said that they need a better hammond organ if they had a better hammond organ it would sound nice.

Who is the lady who ad libs at the end…amazing!!!

i wish i could sing wit yall...ima huge fan of wcmc...which director r u?

WHat are the word to the last part of the song? something like "take it home to my jesus and I got good news

i dont understand what the words are at 2:30.. can somebody help.. i like this version and want to teach it to my choir for our conference in October

@Tevin Roden ...I Got a crown up in the kingdom isn't that good news ...and they are different songs! Put together

Can someone please tell me what the words starting at :28 are?

"no the hammond organ needs to sound nice no matter the music matters to people if u play bad in the COGIC u get kick off the organ, the organ was a bad sound...." this is what you posted in response to me, AFTER I said it is the lyrics that lead people to praise and worship, and that it is all for the Glory of God.

oh no!!! which tenor was he?

3:20 wass soo hott

I really need what the Tenors are saying. Can ANYONE help??

@bkmustang07 THAT VOICE AT THE END WAS A MAN.

Choirboy...they are saying, take it home, ain't that good news

when did he die

Whose arrangement is this? Is there sheet music for it?

they got a tutorial for this

So again you're saying the MUSIC takes precedence OVER the lyrics, praise, and worship? So I'm assuming by your standards when the music stops, the praise stops too. This is why "church dominations" have no place in the building of God's kingdom.

I understand the "spirit of excellence" however when people become so focused on the music then their praise and worship becomes hendered. If it's all about the music then let it stant as an instrumental.

no the hammond organ needs to sound nice no matter the music matters to people if u play bad in the COGIC u get kick off the organ, the organ was a bad sound.

they need a better hammond organ

the organ on there sounds real daul, it does not sound good, they should had a B3 Hammond organ or C3 hammond organ.
