Dr. Edwin Hawkins has been a true catapult to contemporary gospel music..Oh Happy Day is UNIVERSAL..that song has been carried around the world and the message is so simple but yet soo profound "oh happy day oh happy day when Jesus washed, when Jesus washed, when Jesus washed, He washed my sins away. Thank God for Dr. Hawkins..thank God for Jesus
Edwin’s legacy, from the 60’s to the present, has had a profound impact on song-writers, soloists, musicians, & musical directors all across the globe. his music & arts seminars has been outstanding in the training, teaching, & learning experience!
This is FABULOUS! I was a young musician of age 8-9 when I learned Dr Edwin's Arrangement of "O Happy Day" of which was a Contemporary Gospel Song then. I also appreciate the Church of God in Christ history Dr Edwin gives regarding the Northern California State Youth Choir. I am also glad he gave some of the trivia regarding Walter's part (playing the organ on the Choir's recording, etc). Hawkins represent ROYALTY of GOSPEL MUSIC! =)
I listen to that song every day! It's on my spiritual rock music list I enjoy while walking. This song has brought me great joy, I hope they know how uplifting and powerful it truly is, thank you Edwin Hawkins singers. God bless
I was a little boy in Delco, North Carolina when "O Happy Day" came out - I would run up to the piano and practice that song after church was over... The Lord blessed me in 2002 to record my song "Love You" with the Edwin Hawkins Seminar... my dreams were fulfilled that year...
There is a soft veil over gospel music today with the passing of Edwin Hawkins. His career spanned more than 6 decades and he was one of the last male gospel luminaries that seamlessly linked the best of gospel's rich recent history with its best present offerings. His well acknowledged "Oh Happy Day" to the vast public domain of iconic gospel songs has been song by choirs the world over and his Music and Arts Seminar series gave public attention to some of the best singers, writers, producers and directors that the world has ever seen. His collaborations with established artists are also well documented. An exceptional musician, choir director and spokesman for black gospel music, Edwin earned his title of Father of CONTEMPORARY Gospel for his work to refine gospel music and help it to tastefully grow beyond traditional gospel circles and churches. God's exceptional irony should not go unnoticed this day. On an occasion given to the leadership of an articulate pastor whose reminder of church leadership in bringing social change in Dr. Martin Luther King on King Day, it is worth noting Edwin’s music and yes that of his family -- Walter, Lynette, Daniel, Carol, Feddie, Gloria, cousin Shirley Miller and sister in law Tramaine --must be credited with delivering a little social change as well. I have no doubt that those who know of his music's feel a great deal of appreciation to the faith basic sounds that have impacted so many over the years!
I can see a direct link between the Edwin Hawkins singers of 1968 and the group Foreigner with it's 1984 song "I Want to know What Love Is". They were backed up by the New Jersey Mass choir on that one. There is just something about blending that many voices together. It's like the difference between listening to a piano versus a pipe organ, with one you're just listening to music but with the other the whole room vibrates.
I am sitting here, listening and smiling from ear to ear. I can relate to all Edwin is speaking on. Especially, "you can't listen that music...those people 'ain't' saved". I really enjoyed this background information!
Ok, B.) Thanks for posting because I missed the show. I just hope they know I had a good time with there music even if I didnt know all the words. lol Thanks for sharing that with me.
@rebarenee7 This was long before your time if you are in your 40's. However, many pentacostal churches were more inclined to sing this type of music. Members of other churches looked down their noses at the pentacostal churches, to a great extent. I am so glad that my mother taught us to appreciate gospel music, when even our pastor did not fully appreicate it. But, we had a very sound music ministry. So we sang all types of sacred music:anthems, spirituals, modern sacred and gospel.
I dont remember the problems that were going on around that time and I am in my 40's. I am from a strict Apostolic doctrine and we sang those songs with no problem. I guess everyone was not against them and they need to know that and acknowledge it. A blessing to my youth years. Please stay encouraged. B.)
What a voice! What a voice! And what an expressive face to go with it. A bland hymn transformed into a soaring and compelling testimony through the magic of black music! I'd love to have that woman live with me!
I'm so surprize they never mention there cousin Shirely Miller . As she play a very big part in the family history and such a wonderful voice and powerful. Shane on you guys

@@holydance4330 Transcribed From Trinity Broadcasting Network’s Praise The Lord Show: Kenneth Copeland: "I was shocked when I found out who the biggest failure in the Bible actually is." Paul Crouch: "Okay." Kenneth Copeland: "You know everybody you ask, you say, ‘Who’s the biggest failure?’ They say, ‘Judas.’ Somebody else will say, ‘No, I believe it was Adam.’ Well, how about the devil?" Paul Crouch: (Sound of amazement.) Kenneth Copeland: "He’s the most consistent failure . . . but he’s not the biggest in terms of material failure and so forth. The biggest in the whole Bible is God. . . . Wait, wait. Don’t you turn that set off. You listen to us. I told you. . . . Now, you sit still a minute. You know me well enough to know I wouldn’t tell something I can’t prove by the Bible. "He lost His top ranking of most anointed angel, the first man He ever created, the first woman He ever created, the whole earth and all the fullness therein, a third of the angels at least. That’s a big loss, man! I mean you figure up all of that, that’s a lot of real estate, gone down the drain. "Now, the reason you don’t think of God as a failure, He never said He’s a failure. (Paul Crouch and others laughing on the set.) And you are not a failure until you say you are one." Does The Bible Suggest That God Was A Failure? Our Sovereign God created us in His image that we might bring honor and glory to Him and have eternal fellowship together. He desires our love and He wanted that love to be our choice. He wanted our obedience, but He wanted that obedience to be our choice. To suggest that God was a failure because Adam and Even made a sinful choice is ridiculous. It completely alters the entire biblical account of man’s fall, Satan’s fall, and the results that occurred. Our world would certainly be a different place if man had not sinned, but not for one moment was God ever a failure. The only failure was found in those that sinned. He never ceased to be the God of His universe or of the spiritual world where His will is forever being done. The biblical account of the years that have transpired since the fall are filled with His story and the revelations that have never ceased to unfold. David made it clear who rules this Universe and it has never been the devil. His words speak volumes. "The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah." (Psalm 24:1-10) You have the choice of believing Copeland and the Crouches or God and His true prophets. Reducing God is a constant theme of these diluted pundits (self-proclaimed authorities), but His majesty is undefeatable. The foolishness of this crowd gets worse.
