I truly miss the gospel music of the late 70’s and all through the 80’s and early 90’s. The Hawkins Singers and Love Center Choir were the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! R.I.H. Walter and Edwin Hawkins. You are missed.
Thank God for videos, it great to see & hear Bishop Hawkins daily after his passing in 2011. Been a fan since the 70’s in Chicago at the Tommie’s Anniversary celebrations. The songs had spiritual meaning that resonated today! Thank you Hawkins family❤️
I Remember Singing that " song with the R Evans unsamble choir In Baltimore Maryland and more Rest in heavenly 🙏💐 Peace Bishop Robert Evans Jr and Dedicated to all those who we loved and Lost in Memories Gone but never forgotten ❤ Smiles 😢😢V

❤🙏🏾 I've always this Walter Hawkins Choir. When I was younger I listened to Walter that when I knew I wanted to sing and been at it ever since and I Thank God for that Amen 🙏🏾❤️.

Wow! Love it! This concert was done at my old high school! My old church choir Evergreen MBC and Love Center! Such beautiful memories! Berkeley High Yellow Jacket!!
Thanks so much for putting this up. Back in New York City were jammin' all these songs. The Hawkins, along with Andrae Crouch set a whole new standard for gospel music. There were and are certainly a gift to this mean, old world.
love the anointing of Walter Hawkins and the LOVE center choir I'm totally tripping over Alabama Shakes lead singer in this choir WOW Jesus is a WAY maker
Ms. Brenda Roy fwd to 21:52!!! Love her. She’s singing with Patti LaBelle these days. Of course The Hawkins worked with LaBelle in the 90s as well as the 80s.
OMG, Some of these songs I totally forgot about, Way Maker, Just a Way Maker was the jam choir song in DC, MD & VA, I am having a praise fest!!! Thank You so Much for Posting this up for all of us Old School Choir Lovers!!!! Hawkins Music Forever!!
I can’t even begin to understand the thinking of the people who would give this a thumbs down...is it because this is pure gospel and not R & B/hip hop sounding music labeled as gospel?
@@wandasloan4099 , you can barely understand the words because of the music and the style of so called singing. I stand by what I said. This so called gospel music is pathetic. It’s sounds just like what you would expect at the club. God and Christ are not the focus.
God is the Father, God is the Son and God is the Holy Ghost for one. Two that's one person's opinion not really based on facts. And three I said what I said as well! More power to you.
We’re all entitled to an opinion...you don’t have to like it or agree. Quite frankly I don’t care if you do. I have the freedom to express my opinion and will continue.
This is NOT CLUB MUSIC. You're entitled to your opinion and you've said it. Others think otherwise.... All you have to do is change your selection. The rest of us will go back and remember this great music...to criticize the music and the people who like it is pointless. We shall not be moved...we shall not be changed!!! You don't know my testimony...you don't know my story. Go in peace.
Yes Lord !!! Sing Y'all They Set The Standard For Choirs In The 70's 80's & 90's !!! They Are The Choir To Write And Produce A Very Popular Song. My Mind Went Blank For A Minute But When I Think Of It Or If Anyone Does You're Gonna Be Shocked.
@@joycecastille4485 No Joyce, Lynette Hawkins Stevens Is Bishop Walter& Edwin Hawkins Sister, She Has Many Songs, But On Here She Sings God Will Take Care Of You I Think Its The Last Song
I guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
I love how Lynette just stands there all graceful and dignified while Love Center sings the beginning of 'God will Take Care of You'...then she proceeds to burn the house down with that awesome voice of hers.
Oh how I miss singing with my LC Choir so many members gone on, the Lord Blessed us with an anointing that carries on in our lives today!! I miss you My dear Pastor and friend and all those gone on!
Yes yes yes! I noticed that too. You see how she smoothly entered when it was her time? She had a lot of vocal controll...tgen once the mood of the song changed towards the vamp she rocked and worked until those people came on stage to stop everything. Why is people so concerned with time that you quench the Holy Spirit when it is working and moving?
And a VERY Important Message, Given what we as a people are going through, I find myself coming to this video often for comfort and encouragement!! Blessing to you KB
Thanks so much for posting. I've always wanted to see a performance of When The Battle Is Over and a full one of Is There Any Way. Now I have. Thank you, thank you. The Hawkins Family is one of the best in gospel music to ever do it.
We know because we rely and have relied on Abba Father to live an ABUNDANTLY all of our lives. We have trusted God to even breathe since we got off the slaveships. Glory to His Name!!!
It is amazing this comes up in the feed in 2021 while we are in the middle of a pandemic. While when this was recorded they were in the middle of the Aids pandemic. So why wait to praise God praise now. It wont be long it will be over soo.
When This Battle Is Over ... straight drop from Heaven's throneroom ... good ... God ... Almighty. If that don't wake you up, nuthin' will. Peace of Lord Jesus upon you and yours
I was blessed to join with Love Center in worship on Sundays around the time of this concert. I totally grooved with this awesome choir music, unique rythms and all....I agree let's not do race, just be people. Please. Or what is the message of love? from that white woman who used to visit on Camden Ave.
I love Tremaine Hawkins and think she has the best women's voice of all the Edwin Hawkins Singers but i just found out there is Lynette Hawkins and she is great too ! I have a CD of The Edwin Hawkins Singers on CD that I have listened to while going to sleep hundeds of times in the last 15 years ! Love them ! Thank God for all of them ! Glad to get this concert !
LORD' ALL I CAN SAY, IS, !!!THANK YOU' MY SOVEREIGN' TRINITY' , FOR THIS AWESOME ANOINTED MAN AND HEVENLY VOICES OF THE ANGELS. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU' DID NOT GIVE BISHOP WALTER HAWKINS, ? I BELIEVE I COULD SAY !! NO!!. I LOVE YOU' LORD' IN CHRIST' AMEN, AMEN, AMEN. 10/31/17.

Ms. Brenda Roy fwd to 21:52!!! Love her. She’s singing with Patti LaBelle these days. Of course The Hawkins worked with LaBelle in the 90s as well as the 80s.
That is my favourite! It speaks to where I am right now. That's ministry, Is There Any Way. She sang from her heart and I feel every word.
Yes, I can affirm that is the beloved Walter Hawkins on the organ. I attended Love Center for two years back in the day.
He made A Way for Me🎶

awesome, RIH Bishop Walter. one love !
A Treasured TH-cam find. Thank You. #Classic
I can’t even begin to understand the thinking of the people who would give this a thumbs down...is it because this is pure gospel and not R & B/hip hop sounding music labeled as gospel?
Maybe if u listen to the words more than judge the music u could get something out of! It's no different than Mr. Thomas Dorsey

Yes that was Bishop Walter Hawkins getting down on the organ....
Yasssss.He brought it.
I love how they walked off singing -- after the music ended and the crowd dispersed.
Yes, that was beautiful. It makes me want to be a part of the worship.
Ud better sing girl, like u always do praise God
Loving forever the voice of Brenda; what a blessing to hear her!
