Maaannn c'mon on through y'all. I miss that traditional sound of the piano. Nothing wrong with keyboards but I still like that good ole upright piano sound.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I was just watching this for the umpteenth time, and thinking how long ago this was. I keep coming back to this video: Verline's talent shines here. May she rest in peace.
[1] The Meditation Singers: [From Left to Right in the video]: (a) 1st lead singer ERNESTINE RUNDLESS [founder]; (b) 2nd lead singer with tambourine LAURA LEE RUNDLESS-NEWTON [Ernestine's daughter]; (c) soprano VERLENE ROGERS; (d) tenor DONNA HAMMONDS; and (e) alto MARIE WATER [people often think that Marie was Della Reese, but Marie Water was Della Reese's sister. Della Reese had already left the group by this point; and Ernestine added Laura Lee to the group in her place] Peace and love...
Remember hearing this on the wooden radio on Sunday morning while Sunday dinner was being finished and getting ready for Sunday school. Those memories never fade.
PRAISE🖤GOD...EVERYDAY his protection is needed as we come and go Thank you Jesus.. Goodmorning and enjoy everything in this day🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️ *That Midnight Hour* 🦉No wonder you're so Blessed I LOVE YOU💕
It's so amazing! These wonderful women with these wonderful voices, resounding with glory to the Lord our God. The song is wonderful. Although I was not born when they sang this song, I feel no difference from those God loving people that were present there, listening to them. I wish I was there to clap! But I think I can still participate: ooo Jesus, be fence all around me... Thank God. I would like to know you guys in heaven.
Love this! Every song has a soul and this right here is burning within. These women are not only singing in the Spirit, they are beaming with the light of God, graciously dressed and ministering in song!!!!!
I have to listen to this daily. They remind me of how my grandmothers and aunts looked back in the day. They sang beautifully and dressed like these ladies.
Jesus Please be a "Fence all around me everyday" Thank u Lord. I saw these sisters singing Live at a program when I was a kid. It is so amazing to see them all these years later singing to God s Glory "Technology is something!
I am very grateful that I stumbled upon this version! I was looking for a different gospel song, and I found this!! I also love Fred Hammond's version of this song as well. 💛
Now this is HARMONY and joyous singing. I agree with @TheHasanGreen, this is the best version, even though I love the version by Fred Hammond and Radical for Christ. Those high notes and inflections. If you don’t dig this version, check your pulse because you just might be dead. 🤣
@Marcel West THANK YOU for sharing this magnificent clip. I just shared it with a lady I know who’s traveling hundreds of miles tomorrow (Election Day) in a car with a Biden-Harris sticker on it. After what happened in Texas the other day, she’s more than a little nervous.
No matter your religion, faith or creed - as Americans of African descent, this is a part of our culture, PERIOD!
🔥🔥
AMEN, HALLELUIA!!!!!
Forget opera, study Black gospel. THE best vocal training on the planet.
you're right!!!
My favorite song love it
Lady on the piano is killin it! 💯
The pianist is fire on top of fire!🔥🔥💯👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👌🏾
Maaannn c'mon on through y'all. I miss that traditional sound of the piano. Nothing wrong with keyboards but I still like that good ole upright piano sound.
Absolutely bro.💯
the soprano singer tho:) she's got a heavenly voice and an amazing range...
This is classic. This is worthy to be in the Gospel Hall of Fame.
They are wearing those dresses!!! The pianist is on that piano!!!
.... oh and those smooth tambourine handoffs!
RIP Verline Rogers, 8/27/2020, the high soprano voice
I'm so sorry to hear that. I was just watching this for the umpteenth time, and thinking how long ago this was. I keep coming back to this video: Verline's talent shines here. May she rest in peace.
Oh I didn't know Ms. Rodgers passed!! She was gorgeous and had an amazing voice
This is Historic!!! Church family this is Golden🙏🏾
Much respect to the piano player!
