Jester was a very talented man. He was funny and he knows his music. God bless him. RIP Jester
He was an Old Man
Oh my goodness!!!! So much more than music happening here! The faith and praise of the elder being shown to, passed to, and accepted by the younger. The racial and religious divides being healed. The love! The love!
Beautiful
Yes beautiful ❤
I love Jester Hairston!!! Can't wait to get to heaven to sing with Jester again!!!
This guy was hillarious. The "Have Mercy" part cracked me up because that was his famous line from the sitcom "Amen." He used to say, "Oooooh have mercy."
Lol he sure did:)
I wish I could have met him you could tell he was such a nice guy!
Yes he was just looking at them and how he went about his life that is amazing he loved the song Amen and he was in the show amen Odessa testimony in itself yes he is a legend and his legacy live on and you will be missed amen
He was such an awesome man
This man was so underrated. He deserves his props.
I’m laughing and crying at the same time. What a precious Man and we thank you Lord Jesus and we praise you!
Soloist is Dr. Louren Plant, music professor at Rowan University, New Jersey. I was in the choir, 2nd row, as a freshman at Rowan. Our choir was invited out to Salt lake City to sing with Jester and the Tabernacle choir.... Jester was 93 years old in this clip !!!!!
Fantastic! Jester was an outstanding musician. I really enjoyed all the clips I was blessed to see him showcase his talent. Bravo to him and his fabulous career.
He was so talented and funny!
I just loved this man. When in high school 1958-60 I met him at the summer camp in Stockton, Ca. Called then the "College of the Pacific" now UOP, it was a 5 week music camp where we would practice Mon-Sat and sing a concert on Sunday each of the 5 weeks + plus put on a full Opera at the conclusion of the camp. He was a guest choir leader at the camp. He loved high school kids. We had curfews at night and had to be in our room at a certain time, but he would sneak in and tell us stories and sing and teach us little ditties that he wrote. I told him I wanted to be a white kid in his choir - he would laugh and say "Come on down and join". I have such fond memories of this wonderful man.
This man is a true legend and the epitome of Righteousness
I loved Dr. Hairston, I was first introduced to him in high school in the summer I believe June 1972,at Va. State Music Camp,I thought he was amazing!!! He was fantastic!!! He told us about being in the movie "Lady Sings The Blues ",I still think today that he was amazing!!!! He was very friendly!!
What a wonderful man he was and a great actor!
I live in the area where Jester Hairston was born and raised. Belews Creek, NC. I worked in the office of a local hospital and got to know a gentleman named Tim Hairston. Yes, he was a descendant of the Hairston family. My mother had a set of 45rpm records recorded by Jester Hairston. I gave them to Tim as he was of the Hairston Family. He loaned me a book written about the Hairston Family heritage. Yes, some of the story was full of sorrow, but I also saw a story of people who became strong and survived.
This Rendition of Amen was a Testament to Mr. Jesters Many Talents. I have Never Appreciated the Negro Spiritual as Much as I have during this Performance. Because of this Beautiful Music Lesson. I have a Greater Love and Reverence for the Song: AMEN 🙏🏻. Thank You Mr. Jester. ❤️❤️❤️

Wow!!! Beautiful song!!! Jester Hairston blessed us so much with his musical gifts and talents. Loved this ❤🎶🎼🎵
He was such a cutie.
I wish Sister Gladys Knight was there. ❤️ I saw Lilly’s of The Field for the first time several months ago, it was Jester Harrison dubbing for Sydney Poitier. Very uplifting, and as a member, very happy to see the at the LDS Tabernacle. Amen! 🙏🏼❤️
What a lovely, sweet man. It is a beautiful event.
I didn't know he was really a deacon....I thought that was just his character on "Amen". I was really young when the show aired but I remember Jester aka Rolly was the funniest person on the show.
RIP Jester
AMEN💙
I watched an old Johnny Carson rerun last night that featured Mr. Jaster and he seem like a fine man. I really enjoyed the interview. That’s what brought me hear.
Mi Amigo y su Esposa son buenas gentes
God Bless his heart I LOVE HIM ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Remember him as Rolly Forbes on Amen. He was funny 😂.
Love this so so much.
The song that Homer taught the nun's in Lillie's of the Field.
Jester wrote the song for Lillies of the Field .
Good brother of Kappa Alpha Psi!!!
Love this ❤🙌🏾❤
Amen 🙏 I need a karaoke please please please ❤
He is just such a cute elder
Who IN THE WORLD chose that soloist? The O.G. had more soul than he does. 😂 I love our elders. My man was keeping it 💯 % real.❤
Little known fact: Comedian Freddy Lewis was in attendance for this performance. He was thrown out because he held up a giant sign that said, “Where’s Sherman?” xoxo The Clarences
That's a true story. I was Lewis's chauffeur that day. I no sooner dropped him off at church and suddenly he was getting forcibly pushed back into my 1980 Lincoln Continental.
@@rockinyouallnight Oh! You’re the infamous chauffeur! That 1980 Lincoln Continental was A-MA-ZING! xoxo The Clarences
@@THECLARENCES I still have Lewis's Continental. He refused to upgrade to The Lincoln Town Car as the LTC didn't come with an 8-track player.
@@rockinyouallnight You still have it?!? Wow! Will you drive us to our next gig, please? xoxo The Clarences
@@THECLARENCES I haven't chauffeured anyone in years. However, I'd be honored to drive The Clarences to LewisFest '24 ...as long as we get to listen to your eponymous debut album on 8-track while I drive in The H.O.V. Lane to 'Frisco.
❤
Wow
Amazing
@JWillOnline why this division?
I know everybody in that Temple were feeling the High Presence of the Holy Spirit!
i am a member of the mormon church and i love the tabernacle choir but i must say the man is right in this case " white man know about music but they don't know about rhythm!!! that song needs a bit fire under the behind and not be sang like a catholic mass!!!!! :-)
Amen!
I like the way how he gave a history that made them all laugh
We Black Folks know this Song....Praise god
I can imagine Larnelle Harris doing the solo with this good brother
Please Everyone hear the gospel message! Jesus is our only hope for freedom and Salvation! Ray Comfort has FREE movies and interviews on TH-cam with the gospel message!
Yes!! Agreed! ❤ and… l love Ray’s teaching! Jesus Lives!!!
2:01 - My jaw DROPPED 😂💀
Right 😭
Enough RALLEY !
😁
Wow... who is the soloist? He’s got spirit. 🙏❤️
Jester Hairston. I remember him on the show Amen
A great actor ❤️
He’s also wrote and sang the song in “Lilies of the Field.” His voice was overdubbed for Sidney Poitier who, though an excellent actor, had no ear for music.
@@SandySalmansohn
😊Thanks for sharing ❤️
someone said it’s Dr. Lauren Plant music composer himself…
Tell the truth ❤
We build the temple. Amen
"You build the schapel... *_WE_* build the schapel!"
" he rose again."
