THIS!!!!! Brings tears to my eyes every time. Sometimes you just need some church. SAAAAAANG HIS PRAISES BLACK PEOPLE! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!! Best version ever! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm so glad, This movie allowed the whole song to be sung for The movie. It was real and I'm sure if you played this movie in the theatre today, the audience would join in and turn that theatre out. Amen
They never gave her a credit in the closing credits . Flip wilson simply referred to her as Lucille. It's a shame cause she's pivital in the two gospel songs. I wonder if the choir was the Southern California Community Choir???
I remember seeing the making of Aretha Franklin's documentary with The Rev. James Cleveland (AMAZING GRACE) and this is the Southern California Community Choir. I see all the faces from that choir that was in that making of that movie!! So it's got to be that Choir!!
I listened to all different versions of this amazing gospel song and it’s my personal opinion that this version sung for the movie is the best one. And I think it has to do with the BPM. This version has a more upbeat tempo and sounds modern for even today’s times. Not to discount the original version or Aretha’s version but occasionally a new version may sound better than the original. This song makes you want to clap and praise the LORD. And it’s sung by Reverend James Cleveland and the Southern California Community Choir. They sang it without the reverend and upped the tempo to give a more soulful, gospel feel to it. The studio probably didn’t want give the choir any credits as they would have had to pay many more people. And that lead singer’s voice is smooth and powerful. I’m loving it!
@@Abull01I searched high and low and couldn’t find any info on the lead singer of the Southern California Community Choir, which was created by Reverend James Cleveland. As this story proves, black exploitation was being perpetrated by prominent blacks on their own people. I do know that Tom Scott, one of the founding members of the Blues Brothers Band, produced the song, which is listed as the title credit song. If you have any inroads to contacting him, I’m sure he’ll have that info. I strongly believe the choir didn’t receive much, if any, compensation to perform that song in the movie m. This choir was one of the most choirs at that time and performed all over the world, including Jerusalem.
Alfredmayes5005 You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! And I feel that it's the best version for the exact same reason... It's all about the BPM's ... also the lady on lead vocals appears to really be enjoying herself singing this song.
🌈🌈😂😂😍😍 💯💜💙💎😃🤗 LOVE THIS MOVIE I CAN SEE IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. ICONIC ACTORS STORY LINE TRUE AND FUNNY NOT A LOT OF VIOLENCE GOSPEL POWERFUL I MISS THIS IN THE CHURCH SO MUCH HAVE CHANGED IN CHURCHES TODAY.. I PLAY THIS POWERFUL SONG OVER AND OVER!!!! 🙏 ❤
I had a Parakeet who started dancing to this while I watching this movie. My mother said he had The Holy Ghost! This is the the best version I have ever heard.
🎼🎼I wanna wear a diamond gem In the new Jerusalem I wanna walk the street of gold In the homeland of the old I'm going to view the host in white Who travel both day and night Coming up from every nation On the way to the great carnation I’m wanna sing hallelujah Trouble over My soul look back and wonder how I got over🎼🎼 I love this song. Yes, there is Mahalia’s version and Aretha’s version, but this sista here!!!! Blows me away. I’ve been entranced by her version since the first time I saw this move 40+ years ago. Now, if only I knew who she is
I was asked to sing unexpectedly @ church yesterday and this song was the ONLY song that came thru my mind b cuz "My soul looks back and wonder how I got over" thank you Jesus 😇👐
Going through a bit of a rough patch right now. I think I’ve listened to this version of this song about 100 times in just the last two days. Cuz “when I get over” it’s gonna be because of the Lord only. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Lord...in advance! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Don’t it!!..u start to feel the Spirit of God movin over you thank you Jesus u just wanna give Him praise whether u close to God or not the Spirit touches every human soul HE’s not bias or prejudice praise His wonderful name Bless Him y’all n this song ✝️
Yes indeed it does..it blesses my spirit everytime I play it..True praise was in order..the choir killed it and her singing makes you wanna give HIM praise..well bless HIM!!!.thank you Jesus yes my soul looks back and wonder how I got over..the grace of God..Thank you Lord!!
My soul looks back and wonders... How do you not identify or give recognition to the lead singer singing a song that is so influential in the movie ? Mind boggling 🤯
I just watch this on (365) Black History month movie channel. This Song😢😅 brings back when I grew up "going 😭 to church!!!! I love All the Actors and Actresses in this movie. This Gospel Song ❤️ makes my 💜❤️💜 heart, leap for Joy". That women sang that song!!! Didn't she??? Hallelujah 🙏🙏🙏🙏 ""Thank you Lord Jesus Christ"" I Love Harry, Sidney, Bill, Richard... All the actors in this movie.. They look like they had a lot of fun making this movie... 👍 Good job!!!!!
It's a dayum shame that nobody knows who the lead singer is or the choir and the fact that they did not put this version of "How I Got Over" out as a single is a travesty ! 🤔
This scene in the church was filmed at "Bowen United Methodist Church" in Los Angeles, CA. Great scene from equally great movie "Uptown Saturday Night".
Aaaaaaaaayyyyyeeeee yes lord 2022 had Covid I was seriously sick my oldest daughter and I we were healed in Jesus name I’m here thanking my lord and savior how I got over been through thank you lord how I got over Amen 🙏🏾
Luke 6:38...AMEN✨ *Praising should always be on our minds while in church because he blessed you with another day to be in his house* Being Blessed by your Family and Friends is one thing while holding on and Battling but for those that go to church being Blessed by your church family while holding in and Battling is another because it doesn't feel good to go to church looking beat while trusting in the Lord getting prayer and things keep getting worst..the congregation talking bout you from time to time then the Lord finally slides in and having you singing about how you got over.. YES it's going to happen for somebody that's holding on now..Keep trusting the Lord💚 I LOVE YOU...✨
This is such a sincerely sung song. Not all posturing and self-aware, the way some individuals sing now. Thank you so very much Alvin N for posting this.
This takes me back to the times my grandfather was preaching in those small baptist churches in Mississippi with the Martin Luther King, Jr fans on the old back dirt roads in the early 70s.
Does anyone know the name of this choir and their incredible lead singer? The film does not identify them in the credits. IMDB does not give any information either. It is a shame because, they really shine!
My mom 😢passed March 18, 2024 . I found her deceased having earned her wings 🪽 from God . I had spent Feb 2nd-March 2nd with her but God was coming 🙌🏽 to get her 💔. My dad passed Feb 2021 God took him a week after his 76th birthday 🎂
She sounds great, however, no one can sing this song better than the late Mahalia Jackson. My spirit is full today because we're living in some very depressing and difficult times in 2022. I have to think back, How I Got Over? Praise God!!!!!🙏🙏
@@lindenbyass6902 OK! Everyone keeps saying this is the best version but it's no comparison to the original production of this version. You better sew your ears back on and go listen to the first!
This how we did CHURCH in my youth, couldn't tell the gangsters from the 'amen corner' coz everybody was dressed and sangin'. That lead singer looked just like my Aunt Mattie Moss, mother of my cousins the Clark sisters and sang like her too! Seems like yesterday🙏🙏
I do not think the duality of the words to this song as they relate to this movie were lost to Sydney or Bill when this is the song they decided to have the choir sing. Its pure genius.
I declare, this never gets old. When I need a spiritual pick me up, listening to this, always does the trick. I love that song. Oh, the whole movie is funny to boot. Wonderful actors/actresses.
THis is still the best version of this song I've ever heard.
Volition Spark yesss!
Volition Spark I tried to Shazam this when I watch this today and the song wouldn't pop up
Try the version by Aretha Franklin
Amen
Always will be
They'll never be a movie like uptown Saturday night that choir had me almost shouting!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Me too!
Me too. Let the church say amen. And to God, be the glory.
Still playing this over and over again in 2023 and 2024. 😎💜

How I got over - Montreal Jubilation is better than this one. Listen for yourself.
Geechie Dan Beauford wasn't no joke, I love this movie!!!
Rodney Norwood Little Seymour was the baddest dude in the movie!
Sidney Poitier & Harry Belafonte, two legendary heavyweights in the same movie together. Powerful.
Christian Edwards and dr cosby
Christian Edwards and Calvin Lockhart
And Bill Cosby awesome
Bill Cosby isn't a heavyweight?
@@231gnx Bill saved Sidney's career..
I'm so glad, This movie allowed the whole song to be sung for The movie. It was real and I'm sure if you played this movie in the theatre today, the audience would join in and turn that theatre out. Amen
rogueleader1988 Sho Nuf!!! I wish they would release it again! The theater would be jumping!!!
I think if a DJ played this in a CLUB ( remember those days?😢) it would have ppl dancing.
Yes yes they would
Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier were the original Martin and Will Smith
+Tracey CTFU LOLOLOLOL
Tracey and they are still around! Want them to reunite
Would you believe that I watched this movie for the song? One of the best versions of it, ever !!!!!
This choir is fire. BTW: The late Calvin Lockhart with his fine self. R.I.P. Brutha.

Sister Louise was 🔥 that Sunday morning!!
The best version of this song ever....
🎼🎼I wanna wear a diamond gem
In the new Jerusalem

Who travel both day and night
Coming up from every nation
On the way to the great carnation
I’m wanna sing hallelujah
Trouble over
My soul look back and wonder how I got over🎼🎼
I love this song. Yes, there is Mahalia’s version and Aretha’s version, but this sista here!!!! Blows me away. I’ve been entranced by her version since the first time I saw this move 40+ years ago.

Unique Brissett II u do realize the actors and directors hate that word blackexploitation
Anthony Taylor , Thanks didn’t know that, I hate the term also.
This movie really wasn't blaxploitation though.

This takes me back to the times my grandfather was preaching in those small baptist churches in Mississippi with the Martin Luther King, Jr fans on the old back dirt roads in the early 70s.
Carlos Johnson when I think of Mississippi, all I can think of is Emmett Till and all I can say is fuck Mississippi!!!
Dr.King in the early 70s?

I have mad respect for gospel music, but this is gospel-funk! And that is a good thing!
Melts my soul every time. When I am down this song brings me right back up like a reset button.
This was a great movie. This sister can sing
I do not think the duality of the words to this song as they relate to this movie were lost to Sydney or Bill when this is the song they decided to have the choir sing. Its pure genius.
Great Actor, ACTRESSES, THE BEST, LEGENDS MISS THOSE TIMES
Guess who was playing the guitar at the church picnic? #rayparkerjr
