This child, WHEW JESUS! I was told he was like eleven/twelve years old. He sang with such anointing. I come back to this video over and over and over and over again. Such a simple message, but it resonates in my spirit.
This is probably the most powerful gospel version of They'll Know We Are Christians (aka, We Are One In The Spirit). Both solo singers are absolutely superb. Walt Whitman did a wonderful job of rearranging the words and music into the gospel style. The Soul Children of Chicago is probably the greatest youth choir since the Little Angels choir of the 1950s. Written by Peter R. Scholtes during the catholic folk mass era, "They'll Know We Are Christians" was first published in 1966 by F.E.L. Publications Ltd (no longer in business). The album, "They'll Know We Are Christians By Our Love" was published by F.E.L. in 1968.The songs now belong to Lorenz Publishing. When Peter Scholtes wrote “They'll Know We Are Christians” he was a catholic priest at Saint Brendan's parish in Chicago's West Englewood community. Saint Brendan is now a senior living facility run by catholic charities. The Saint Brendan's Young People's Choir (also African Americans) traveled extensively nationwide singing this song and the popular yet controversial Missa Bossa Nova catholic mass which was also written by Peter. The Saint Brendan's Young People's Choir, due to contractual issues never recorded the title song but did record most of the tracks on the album. The mass of 67th street which is also on the album, refers to the street where the Saint Brendan Church was located. The album to some degree sounds unpolished, but it was recorded at the now defunct Boulevard Recording Studios in Chicago. The title song “They'll know We Are Christians” is simple yet compelling and powerful in it's message. They'll Know We Are Christians (aka, We Are One In The Spirit) is still popular today world wide. There are versions in many languages, many styles of music (from urban to classical) and has been covered by numerous recording artists.
Vintage SCC!!! Jamie lead singing, Rev.Wendell Lowe on organ, and Pastor Eric Thomas on piano!!! This was pre-synthesizer take-over lol!!! #songsthat nevergrowold
Wow, omg, I woke up to this song in my spirit. Thank God for Walt Whitman and the choir. As of today, this song still ministers in a powerful way. Keep supporting the Gospel of Jesus Christ through His word.
That's just awesome..need more of this .. This is how the World will know who we belong to.... Jesus Said it .Men shall know you are my disciples by the Love you have one for another.. Nothing Else❤️
Everytime I listen. Everytime I come back to this video my soul is blessed! LORD help them to know who we are by our love. I would to GOD I could like over and over again. These children are just plain sangin'.

I've been looking for this footage forever, trying to figure out if the guy that now leads Salem Baptist Church's praise team is the kid that does the lead on this song....and it is. His name is Jamie Simond. I never forget a face/talent even if it matures 20 years. lol
I know this is a response to an old post..but what do u mean Ruin A GOOD SONG?..this young man along with this choir did a great job..maybe youre not into our BLACK GOSPEL style.
That kid's voice has made me happy for 40 years
This little boy is a grown man now and still singing 🎤 for the LORD!!!!
Where is he?
What is the name of the young man who sang "We Are One" at an early age and how is he doing now?
@@conrecords1 I was wondering the same thing. Praying he turned out to be one of the greatest preachers and singers for the Lord.

Amen..I look at it when I'm having good days or bad days. Each time I hear it, it seems to soothe my soul.
