I grew up listening to gospel music and love Jake Hess. Every word clearly pronouced, dead on with the rest of the Imperials, singing with joy in his heart and a smile on his face. What a joy to watch and hear this video!
Jake Hess's life was a miracle with all his medical conditions. A lot of people would have felt sorry for themselves but that wasn't Jake's attitude. What a classy guy full of style and grace. I never tire of hearing his amazing voice.
Solid gold. this film was made using audio from a studio recording, but its the real deal. too bad that Jake Hess could not tour with the Imperials due to health problems. Jake and the Imperials were both icons in gospel music.so glad this is posted!
ill proudly admit this is the kind of old fashioned ghosple music i was raised on listing to that old tube type raido on sunday morning geting ready for church
IT IS NO SECRET WHAT GOD CAN DO,, I KNOW GOD HAS ME IN HIS ARMS,AND WATCHES OVER ME EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY AND NIGHT...WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR ME,, HE CAN DO FOR YOU,,BLESS THIS WONDERFUL GROUP OF GOSPEL SINGERS..
I have been wanting to see a Jake Hess video of his group the Imperials... so thanks akdal83 for the video. I am also enjoying watching all your other videos too!
@thiskiwigal I may have an answer. Did record warp from age or heat? If so, try this. I did, it worked. Make sure buckled record is as clean as can possibly get it. Any dirt will imbed in.Sandwich it gently between 2 sheets of glass like window pane glass. Set sandwich flat in sun, on a day due to get in 90's but not in 100's. Black record draws suns heat gently, softens, weight of glass slowly, over the day, flattens record out. let cool naturally to stone cold (overnight?). should play ok.
@acapellaman45 Thanks for that suggestion. I had tried that in the past with other records but forgot about it. Certainly worth a shot anyway. It can't possibly make it any worse.
Teddy Ladd, I don't know where you got the idea that Jake never toured with the Imperials, HE DID, for several years, I know because I saw them many times!
I used to have a record of Henry and Hazel Slaughter singing together. As was the way with records at times, it buckled and is now useless. Does anyone have any of the music of the two of them. Can't find any on TH-cam or google

This type of classic quartet singing has a place all its own in gospel music.
Hess was the best. His voice can be distinguished out of any group or crowd.
I remember singing this in church when I was 6-7 yrs. old. I'm 74 now. Still holds true, it is no secret what God can do.
Every member of this group was an outstanding musician...

He still sounds the same after all this time
That beloved smile...
Rip all of them

Sorry, just answered my own question. Didn't see the post below.
Does anyone know where to get the whole movie?
It is on TH-cam
Is that Henry Slaughter on the piano?
Yes, Henry Slaughter played for the Imperials years ago. Not sure just how long.
Yes Henry is my Dad's brother. Born and raised in Roxboro, N.C
It's only hair that has increased for Jake Hess 🤣🤣🤣
Jake had hair back then!*
No, just better wigs!
