Yes he is. Jesus is truly the light of the World
My favorite choir director
So people will never understand the skill and craftsmanship of this guy! I wish I could’ve meet you! Forever lead us directors.

Lissssssssten, when I tell you O'landa was no joke. He was truly one of the great directors of my time.

This is what we need right now more gospel more choir stands alters no stages no dancing etc just flat footed singing and pure worship
A Gift through the Body Of Jesus Christ

I will always love this Choir. God rest his soul
I truly enjoyed them back in the good ole days ☺️
That’s a true choir master!!!!!!!!
There will never be another O’Landa Draper!!! I still can’t believe he’s gone! He went way before his time!! I wonder if the l Asociates still exist??
My God!!! There will never be another O’landa Draper!!!! Lord have mercy, I miss him so much!! Lord why did you have to take him so young and talented!!! My friend and brother gone too soon!
How did he die tho. I knew he passed. But how ?
@@curtisdrummerellerbe9544 Sorry, kidney failure.
@@bxrokk omg
@@bxrokk It’s just funny to me how he looks so healthy I’m surprised as healthy has it as he looked. Surprise he didn’t catch it before it got worse
@@curtisdrummerellerbe9544 yeah I thought the same thing! He was so vibrant and energetic!! They said kidney failure but I think it was more than that!😔
4:58 - this is what makes him one of the greatest choir director in gospel music. Miss this dude!!!!
I agree!
Him going airborne is what separated him from Dillard or Whitman.
A legend gone way too soon.
WOWITY WOW. There was NO time like the 90's, and NO director like O'Landa!!! Whew, MAMA!!
This was at the historical UNOIN VALLEY BAPTIST CHURCH IN MEMPHIS TN . MCLEMORE AVE.
I saw several associate members in there
Yessss!!!
Choir skills right there
THAT WAS FANTASTIC!!!!! #alwaysafavorite
He was a true choir legend.. 5:54.. I can't.
Bryun Lion yes Lord
Yes he was
wow this was in 1990.. 27 years ago, hard to believe.
Loved Them.....
Is there more from this concert????
Was this in 1994 or earlier? It's on FIRE!!!
***** I was thinking the same thing actually, since the choir was started in '85 (or 86' I guess, lol).
MAN I miss him! Thanks for the video :)
