- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- Rev. Milton Brunson and the Thompson Community Singers from the Miracle Live album in 1984. I am not sure of the soloist, but I think her name is Sylvia Nicholson-Mickens. Anyone with info on the soloist is welcome to post. Ricky Dillard and New G also did an awesome job with their rendition, but there is nothing like the original hits from back in the day. Words and music to this classic hit were penned by Percy Bady.
this song was the ultimate. I remember the mass choir @ Pilgrim Church of Christ sang this song ( I was a teenager) 1985-88 we even had some of the band instruments. sis charmaine Wilson SANG the lead w/ annointing..Wow this song still has it.. Rev brunson and the tommies SANG with all their hearts every song.. does anyone recall them singing the star spangled banner .. wow i recall it was annointed aswell. thank you for finding this and posting bcuz THERE IS NO WAY I CAN LIVE WITHOUT GOD!!
Thanks for posting. Just joined a choir four weeks ago, and we are doing this song tomorrow. God bless you.
Back in the day when choirs praised God without the 'Showtime'. Glory to God!!!

Gloria Crews absolutely Church need to get back to this important aspect of our returning to the root of our heritage. Now today serms like everyone is in it for a show instaed of minstering the fire baptized gospel of pure truth.that can save souls.
Tell the Truth !
u said this 8 years ago, I#m saying this in 2023 lol!
\O>
There is a 4th version to this song that was arranged by Patrick Lundy and the Ministers of Music out or Washington, DC. If anyone would like to hear it look him up! There is simply nothing like the original versions of these songs particularly when you get old as me and know every version. Thanks for keeping this alive and posting....
Wow, we had most of the old 33 1/2 albums. This truly represents the good old days in a big way.
one of my greatest favoirits sang it in the early 80's. sounds very good because the words meaning never change. There is no other way without Christ.
Up to now, I had only heard Ricky's version. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TCC!Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for posting this song. God Bless you.
OOOOOOOH! How I LOVE this song
There is no way we can made without Christ in our Life Today !
I can appreciate ALL renditions of this song, however, this song right here........there is NO rendition like this one.
I just love this song!..... Amém....
I am a former Thompson Community singer and former member of New G. I love the original and the remake. But the original is kinda my all time favorite. LOL
this is my favorite gospel song of all time
I just want to say "Thank You Jesus." LOL. I did laugh but I am not kidding.
Karolyn Issup I love You, Lord. Sniffle. Eyes filling with tears but I am not sad.
Karolyn Issup Just thinking. Not about myself, but on how the Lord has never forsaken me and how much I trust Him. LOL. I did laugh, but I am not kidding.
I just found out last week that it is in fact Sylvia Nicholson-Mickens. For years, I never put two and two together that it was the same voice from "There Is No Failure". A friend told me it was her and when I listened to the two songs back to back, it was obvious. Ricky Dillard's version is okay, but some songs need to be left alone and this is one of them.
Ricky Dillard's version was better than "okay". Stop raggin' on him.
You are entitled to your opinion. I simply was not impressed by his version. I've never been much of a fan of remakes.
YOU RIGHT THIS WOMAN SANG IT WITH MUCH MORE FEELING. IM SURE AND I HAVENT EVEN HEARD RICKY DILLARDS. THIS WOMAN ON THOMAS JUST KILLED IT WITHOUT A DOUBT GIVES ME CHILLS.
OK JUST HEARD RICKY DILLARDS VERSION AND THIS WOMAN IS GIVING YOU KIM BURRELL MIXED WITH KAREN CLARK OR FAITH EVANS , THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS SONG DID IT BEST MUCH MORE FEELING TO THIS AND THE CHOIRS WAS JUST RAW WITH THE ANOITING . KEVIN YOUR RIGHT !
you HOLY ghost right ! brother if you cant do it better or match it leave it alone.
kevin, i'm not much for remakes either, but i'm trying to understand how his was just "okay"..
@fnell1959 ...yes, When they put out albums, you just bought them. You didn't have to hear them first. They were the best choir ever.
I tell these young singers and musicians these songs have been covered. Rickey Dilliard remade this song. But the Tommies did it first! Here is the proof!
I was apart of the Tommie,For many Years. To God be the Glory.
Bless you Irene
Always thought Ricky Dillard did this originally.Thanks for the correction
Classic Thompson Community Choir song. One of the few choirs that if I knew they had a new album/cd coming out, I just went out and bought it. Didn't have to listen to it first, as you know it was going to be great, and spirit filled. These songs just give the chills and lifts you up.
This is the theme song in my life, because I have been through a lot in my life, and just when my burdens got to strong God had me to pull up this video and let me know there is nothing I can do without him. I can't live without him. I love the Lord because I learned over and over that there is no way I can live without him.
when she says "but I found out the hard way" .. I lost it!! even with the gift that Nikki Ross has, nothing compares to the anointing on this original..
i said the same thing the holy ghost makes the difference her enterance of the song was classic lol
Now that's something I would also love to see. I think most of the available video footage is from the Rise Up and Walk DVD that has already been posted. Sylvia had already left the Tommies by the time it was taped.
The instrumentation is so clear. The saxophone and low brass sound so good.
Thank you for posting this. Reminds me of being a teenager in Texas and singing in district and state choirs in COGIC. All time favorite song of encouragement.
I just love this song! First time I heard it was when I played it with the band (me on drums) and the choir. Spirits were lifted and I now love this old school gospel song that, to this day, stands as a classic! AMEN!
I have nothing against praise and worship songs now but some of them just don't do anything for me, but this song here and all the song from this era will have my under the pews and running to the alter.
Treshell,
Amen! It is true that the quality of the music of this era is generally superior to the so called Gospel music today. It is sad that we lost this but thank God for TH-cam.
Treshell Murff Right. Worship & repentance should go together.
my church too before ricky dillard made it popular
"There is no other Way" Gloraayyy !! this was back in the days when folks used to saaang !
Classic! Love this song! That girl sings that thang!!!!! I tried to make it on my on...but the burdens got a little too strong...ooooh jesus!!!!!! Yesssaaah!
I was a member of Fellowship Baptist Chicago , when Rev. Milton Brunson was a choir member before starting TCS . He was a great singer and Minister talent scout of new singers ! Praise God for his Leadership of The Tommies .
No sound like Thompson Comm Choir.
None!!!!
Patricia Jefferson GOOD MORNING! You are absolutely right. Nothing like "The Tommies". This is my go to song every day !!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Patricia Jefferson GOOD MORNING! You are absolutely right. Nothing like "The Tommies". This is my go to song every day
🙌🏻PRAISE🙌🏿 GOD🙌"There is no way that I can live without you" it's so easy to get sucked into that worldly life when you stop Praying and start hanging out with people that have all the answers and their conversation is so Good that you wouldn't Thank God ... instead you'll start praising the person...Keep the Lord first and ask him first Goodmorning and enjoy everything in this day🙌🏽
🗞️
If it wasn't for our hard times we wouldn't get to see the Lord Perform...🔥 He will never disappoint 🤍
It feels Good.,.🌞
I LOVE YOU...🏋️
@AquSon the original "More Abundantly" was first recorded by Rev. Donald Vails and his Choraleers...Its on youtube...its on their 1988 album...check it out.....i kinda like the original better.

Amen to that
Yep. That's Sylvia. I've known her since we were kids in Chicago. Could always deliver a masterful performance. I agree that the TCT catalog is unlike any other. Imagine growing up with these singers and musicians as my mentors. It was an amazing time.
this is my first time ever hearing this version and I'm speechless man they could really really sing this is amazing wow!!!!!!!!
I need a sheet and a fan!!!! Usher!!!
My name is Darlene, and this is my cousin's page, but as I browse through, all I have to say is that I love this version. I love the Chicago choirs. Milton Brunson is my favorite, with the Thompson Community Choir of course. God bless!
I love this version too...but thank God Ricky Dillard's version is A LITTLE easier on the tenors lol
That's Sylvia Mickens alright!
Sylvia Nicholson
Oops get it right Johnny lol
Get it right Johnny
Lol... Y'all aint gonna do me...lol In Michigan everyone knows her as Sis. Mickens...in Jackson she went by Sylvia Nicholson-Mickens (the same as listed on the PAW National recording...#Bam LOL...But if life has changed her name then Nicholson it is.
John Sorrells Excuse me then sir lol
Thank You so much for uploading this wonderful wonderful soulful uplifting song by Milton Brunson & TCS. Haven't heard this song in awhile. I miss hearing songs like this. It's still gets me praising God and giving him ALLLL the Glory!!!! God Bless You & Keep You...

This song and others that were written can and hold you in the midst of any storm. thanks once again!

Oh Hallelujah! "I tried, but I found out...there is no other way!". This song is just IT!! Gets me Everytime. Thank God for The Tommies!
My parents were both a part of the Thommies! This choir is AWSOME! Bless God for the anointing!!
The information you see is based on information found on the album. If it is incorrect, then Mr. Bady and Ms. Farmer should settle it with the producers and the record company. Anyone who owns the album can only go by what is printed on it. Based on album information, Mr. Bady is credited with writing this song. How is the general public supposed to "get it rite" when all we do is go by the information that is available to us?
You are correct. Anyone who's ever heard this song and There Is No Failure can tell you Sylvia does her fair share of riffs and runs. However, she doesn't do them throughout the entire song. I'm not analyzing, just stating my preference. Besides, I did say that I thought both ladies were great singers. There are some original songs that I don't like, but love newer versions. Seems like you're over-analyzing the comments.
I don't think anyone is saying Nikki can't sing. As a matter of fact, I think she's great. The difference is that Sylvia just sang the song without riffs and runs. Sometimes the riffs can take away from a song if a different version without the riffs is heard. Other times, riffs are just awesome. Look up Blanche McAllister to see what I mean by awesome riffs. Both Sylvia and Nikki did a wonderful job with this song. Two different styles. Same wonderful song.
Send me your email address and we can talk about it. Also, I am in search of the It's Gonna Rain album that came out prior to Miracle Live. Any assistance with my search is greatly appreciated. I already have It's Gonna Rain (Fire Next Time), the song written by Darius Brooks that came out on the Through God's Eyes album
@ArchAngelo7th I'm still grateful to Ricky for the extra popularity he gave to More Abundantly because I had not heard it until he did it. The original must still be hot. Please post it if you can. Whether or not Ricky ever told your church about his singing with Rev. Brunson and the Tommies can be debated forever. All I know is what I've read in places like gospelflava.
Are you sure about that? There was a lady named Tina Watson who sang with the Tommies but her first solo was He Cares. She is a soprano. You can find a lot of clips of her on youtube. If this is the same woman, I would love hear her sing this song, too. If you have anyone else singing this, please post it. I'd love to hear it. Thanks for your comments.
@csneaky and gabrielmaxey, Ricky Dillard was part of the Thompson Community Singers back when this song was popular in the 80s. Ricky also covered Milton Brunson songs like Keys To The Kingdom and If Everybody Had Jesus on his first album that featured the hit song More Abundantly.
i miss these types of choirs
Anything contrary to what is printed in the album information is nothing more than hearsay and rumor until it is legally proven in a court of law. Therefore, PERCY BADY WROTE THE SONG. If someone else wrote it, they should have gotten it copywrited so they could receive proper credit.
@vsumass Seems like everyone keeps saying the same thing about liking original versions of songs better than subsequent remakes. I find that very interesting, and think it says a lot about today's music.
Donna Blakely can be seen singing this song with the Tommies on another clip posted on youtube. But, this is none other than Sylvia Nichoson-Mickens. Thanks for your comment. Be blessed and know it!
There is no other version of this song that's even in the same neighborhood as this one....THEE ORIGINAL
This is the black church anthem we all came up on....this used to be just an oldie but goodie but the closer I get to 30, the more meaning this song has
@ArchAngelo7th The credit for "More Abundantly" belongs to James Hall & Worship and Praise. It appears on their first album. Ricky loved it so much, that he asked for permission to re-record it. Because James Hall's choir was still relatively new, Ricky's version overshadowed the original, which was IMO, better.
Ok thanx. There are just so many clips I had and have lost and hope someone post them on TH-cam like more of Daryl Coley back in the day and Kurt Carr singing *Surley God is Able*. Also more Stellar Award post
Hey would you happen to know the name of the soloist that sang the first original version of " There is no way " and also I think is the same soloist on " There is no failure in God "?
@tiavanna2 WOW that's what's up. My pastor sister lead this, Sylvia Nicholson Mikens........she still awesomely lol annointed........
umm....excuse me, but Barbara Ward Farmer wrote this song and gave it to Percy Bady.........get it rite.......awesome song.....
GLORY, GLORY, GLORY!!!
Remember when you go to your youtube page and there wasn't an advertisement at the top of the page?
Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO
Remember when there wasn't advertisements that never go away?
Remember you couldn't have a limit to favorites?
Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?
WE MISS THE OLD TH-cam!
Post this in every video and lets start a youtube riot!

Thumbs up to get this noticed !!
"minjalewissr", you asked for no comment about the speed. I'm sorry sir. I am "ole school". This sounds just like the original. I will not leave a negative comment at all. My slogan for the year: "2009 - doing fine; 2010 - tryin' to make it in; 2011 - I'm on my way to Heaven". I thank you sir just for sharing and posting such a memorable song from a remarkable man with an outstanding choir. GOD BLESS YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I need help my internet buddies (esp. minjalewissr). I need the song by Rev. Milton Brunson "United" or something to that fact. It is known as one of the original songs linking "unity" together. Someone sent it to me, but that sapsucker Satan won't allow me to pull it up by the title. Need some HELP!! Also, REV. MILTON BRUNSON WAS A KIND MAN - HE WANTED US TO PRAISE GOD, NOT ARGUE OVER WOH WROTE IT.
BTW Sylvia Nicholson-Mickens is the soloist. She went on to lead "There Is No Failure on their next album "There Is Hope", but I don't know where she is today. BTW I believe Ricky Dillard was singing with them on this recording! I am also personal friends with another soloist on this project, Francine Jones, who lead "You Are Everything To Me".
I have been looking for this album for years. I was at the actual recording. The songs were actually recorded twice during that session. Once with Reverend and the second (that actually was mastered) by a very young Tyrone Block. Please tell me how to get a copy of this. I am willing to pay you for your troubles. God Bless You for Posting This.
There is none like the original. No one can do it better than the ORIGINAL, then those who first sung it. People try to change it and do it different but it won't and i repeat WONT be better. LOL. But dont get me wrong, the people that have sung it like Nikki Ross and the other people they are awesome, and great! But the ORIGINAL is absolutely PHENOMENAL!
This is the original. What an album. "I have tried over and over but there is no way I can live without you"
This album by far in my opinion was at the top. It had everything. Before the Miss. Mass Choir, David Curry had us singing this one.
My my my. They raised the bar and set the standard.
Whether Fire its going to rain whatever they could do it.
The Tommies.
This is the original, trust me. I had it when it first came out. You are thinking about TINA WATSON and she never lead this song. She lead "He Cares" as minjalewissr said, which was two albums later on the "If I Be Lifted" album.
BTW I agree nothing compares to this, the ORIGINAL. Sylvia Nicholson-Mickens was perfect for this song.
@AquSon do you mean "God is in Control"??? James Hall never recorded "more abundantly"...
Thank you for posting this. I don't care about the speed or turn table or whatever. Thank you for taking the time out to post it. One of my favorites and one of the songs I used to lead when I was in the youth choir. THANK YOU!!!!
My mother had this album when I was little. We still have a vast collection of albums, but this one I CANNOT FIND! THANK YOU so much for this posting. This was the version my mother use to sing and play around the house. Brings back memories!
Vintage Tommies at their finest....I have tried over and over, but there is no way...
CLAP, CLAP!!! I love the extra vamp that L.A. Chapter of GMWA does:
"I have tried to make it, I couldn't take it. I HAD TO FACE IT. No there is no other way, is no other way, IS NO O-THER WAAAAA-AAAAAY!!!!"
YES MA'AM!!!!
Refuge Temple and Solomon Temple combined choir just Blows this song away under the anointing. It's like the roof of the building is going to come off.
I love this song. It gets you through your going through
Rev. Milton Brunson and the tommies were absolutely my favorite as a child growing up in the '80's. I didn't realize that they originally sang this song but I'm glad to hear it. They are second to none in my opinion.
so glad to find this song. It's been in my spirit for a while. Thanks for sharing.
@AquSon the original "More Abundantly" was first recorded by Rev. Donald Vails and his Choraleers...Its on youtube...its on their 1988 album...check it out.....i kinda like the original better.
I loved the TCS 3rd sunday musicals. I sang off key from the balcony...
I remember when they sang this song on Oprah...
The show may have been called AM Chicago at the time...
my church chior song this at my sisters funeral over 20 yrs ago however I was doing good until they song this song ThEN I WAS NO MORE GOOD.... I really love this SONG it so true
thx for posting this it is a classic and its one of those songs from this era that paved the way for a lot if music that has evolved from then until now. Bless u 4 posting it....
Yes, the soloist is Sylvia Nicholson-Mickens. She also sang There Is No Failure.
wow!! Are you going to post anything else from this album. I used to have it and have been looking everywhere for it, The Tommies have always been the best choir around.
SHE SANG THIS SONG WITH SUCH A EMOTION SHE HAD TO HAVE HAD THE HOLY GHOST , BABY IT WAS FROM HER HEART A BIG DIFFERENCE A LOT OF CURRENT GOSPEL SINGERS CAN LEARN FROM HER.
Such a powerful song and it sounds great! Thanks for sharing!
Evangelist Mickens is here in Michigan and is actually the Minister of Music for the Northern District Council of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World Inc.
Milton Brunson did work on this song. Praise Him, for there is no other way i can live without Him
Oh!!! Yes!!! nothing like this old music. Love it. My chior sang this when I was a teenager. No other choir was like the Thompson Community Singers.
this is my first time hearing the original! i heard the one by ricky dillard but not this one ( or is it james hall lol i always get them confused)
I was in the states for the first time in 1986 and this was the first album i bought over on flatbush ave. brooklyn FANTASTIC. i played it to death.
Thank you for posting this version. I've been looking for this for quite some time. I knew Percy Bady wrote it but I couldn't remember who recorded it.
@Oakcliffsweety Its Sunday and I'm warming up to this so we can lead worship with this song.
