yes Vincent Bohanan... you making me feel old LOL..... my bro and i flew from the UK (he is sitting behind Butch in the Blue shortsleeved shirt) for this historical concert so that we could learn the Brooklyn Style organ from Uncle Butch.....because this was before You Tube it was the only way we were going to learn the Brooklyn Style..... The 3 Organists that stood out for me that night was Butch, James and Tiyorne Coleman... I feel proud that we were able to capture this history because back then when most mobile phones did not have a movie camera record function so we travelled with proper camcorders and minidisk audio recording facilities..... I do remember seeing this little boy in the bow tie on the front row and marveling at how dedicated and caught up in the music...... never did I think that little boy was you today lol..... God be praised.
this vid has only made me a bigger fan of James Hall. Never realized how many musical changes there were in this song. He is so talented. Thanks for posting. ...I wonder if Melvin Crispell is still with the group.
Finger movements become second nature, he memorized sheet music and embellished as he saw fit. This is true for any instrument. He is thinking about his vocals I guarantee. That "Mercy and" he squalls out, Hallelu ^_^.
Thank you @sircroft1. And for the other people that don't know on James Hall & Voices of Citadel the song is entitled "I Shall Dwell in the House of the Lord"
Once at a music workshop I heard a choir singing Jesus can work it out as I was going yo my room to take a nap. When I got back from the nap and headed out it was still going. So I had to see. The soloist was standing on a dinner table singing while the choir was chanting work it out. LOL I stayed until it was finished. World record maybe....
@Institutionalkid @Institutionalkid What album is this song on? I want to cop it. Some say James Hall's version is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than YP.
wait a minute....first I thought Youthful Praise recorded this first, now I don't know what to think.lol....and the date??? wow, '99??. this song is old!lol
yep I wrote out this song ....scored it and taught it to my choir 15 years ago... it is so complex..... and the bit that got me is I assumed that the chorus where they modulate ? I thought it was the same key both times..... but if I remember correctly the first modulation is to Eb and the 2nd time around it is to Ab. This created more work for me writing it out LOL but it's absolute Genius........ I had to also get my hands around that Brooklyn Style .... but having learned at the feet of Uncle Butch and also studying the style I didn't find playing it too difficult.
It wasn't a service .... it was a concert and it was Rocking...... I think the real issue is that the congregation were so acustomed to such high level music that they were not as in awe of the music as they should have been. but for us guys from the UK it blew out minds...... nothing like this music in the UK back then..
if I remember correctly Eddie was around early twenties? and butch was around 40 years old? this concert made our 4000 mile trip from the UK so worthwhile.
I love listening to this song all day
I totally forgot James plays, such a gifted man of God!
Love that busted up microphone and the pen on the hammond, pure OLD SCKOOLIN' LOL!!
Same chords as God wants a 🙌 yes!
This song is classic. I don't care what nobody say "Brooklyn Gospel" we go hard. Professor James Hall is the Man!! S/O to eddie on the bongos...LOL!!
May God Almighty richly bless you all is my prayer
🥀🌻🌺May The Heavenly Father⚜✝️keep on blessing you James Hall and your choir in the mighty name of Jesus👑!!!

richard willhide wrong, there is no sheet music. We play by ear.
Glory to the Great Holy Awesome Wonderful Mighty Loving God from zion
We need more like him. Sometimes a song is too long.
Is this the same church where the God Is In Control album is from?
I don't know where he thought he was goin with that lavender window pane suit, but he was killin on that organ though!
Ron Fleming it fit with the time

Thank you @sircroft1. And for the other people that don't know on James Hall & Voices of Citadel the song is entitled "I Shall Dwell in the House of the Lord"

The look Butch was giving at 3:12 was like that boy playing

I still can't understand how makes an organ sound like that....
wait a minute....first I thought Youthful Praise recorded this first, now I don't know what to think.lol....and the date??? wow, '99??. this song is old!lol
Norman I never knew how complex this song was til I tried out the bass line im still trying to flow with it.

Man.......James Hall is BAD!!!!! Wow
Any seen a video on Micheal Grammy on organ? I can’t find any.
The DRUMMER!!!! 👀
Hes so Cold and the drummer is so good
Memorized sheet music? This song is not transcribed as is the case with MOST Gospel music, and James plays totally by ear.
I wonder where he gets his glasses cuz all his joints be on point!
Youthful praise got this and several other songs from Brooklyn.
Service must of previous been boring the way the people were sitting down during such a awesome song.....smh
It wasn't a service .... it was a concert and it was Rocking...... I think the real issue is that the congregation were so acustomed to such high level music that they were not as in awe of the music as they should have been. but for us guys from the UK it blew out minds...... nothing like this music in the UK back then..
is that Eddie With the Royal Blue on lol
Does House plays with his heel us or down
That tongue when he goes to soprano or alto tho.. .lol
His glasses are cold

How old was eddie and james in the video
if I remember correctly Eddie was around early twenties? and butch was around 40 years old? this concert made our 4000 mile trip from the UK so worthwhile.
