Reminds me of my father, whom I love dearly, and how he'd sing these songs on the weekends after a week of grueling mettle-testing work. I miss hearing my father's deep voice and the smell of breakfast in the kitchen on Saturday mornings. May The Creator heal him completely and give him a clean bill of health soon. I look forward to hearing my father sing again.
Joe Ligon was a very handsome man... A great voice, had it goin on, etc he could've been my husband lol. But nah I'm so sorry for his passing, I remember when he passed but we're at 5 years already? Wow.
ATTENTION: YOU CANNOT LISTEN TO THEIR SONGS AND SIT STILL!!!!!!! JOE KEEPS ME DANCIN'.... his voice is so powerful & beautiful. I LOVE THIS GROUP SO MUCH. *OLD SCHOOL*
Number One Disco Song for 5 straight weeks in January, 1976! Can't beat that! Produced by Dave Crawford, who went on produce and write Candi Staton's "Young Hearts Run Free" later that year. (Busy year for Dave Crawford!)
Yes Lord So Glad I Had The Chance To Meet The Mighty Clouds Of Joy A Few Times Years Ago When They Would Come To My Hometown Of Pontiac,michigan In 2006, 2010 And I Saw Them In Detroit In 2008. I Had The Opportunity To Sing A Few Bars Of Ride The Mighty High With Them. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for this beautiful posting. I returned to the US following my USAF service in 1975. I worked the door at a great NJ disco and this was the greatest song ever played from '75 to '76. I was one the few folks who knew that The Mighty Clouds of Joy were one of the greatest Gospel groups in America. Thank you and God Bless.
That crowd was lit! That’s what I’m talking about. Now everyone too cute to get into it. I’m so happy that this music is here for us that truly touches the soul
I have this concert on VHS tape. It was so hard to find, but so worth it! It's called Gospel and has Mighty Clouds of Joy, James Cleveland, The Clark Sisters and Shirley Ceasar. AMAZING!
the original version Mighty Clouds of Joy was done with most of the Philadelphia musicians who backed up the O'Jays, Trammps, Spinners and many other great groups!
MY FATHER'S FAVORITE SONG AND DON'T LET THE GREEN GRASS FOOL YOU. AND HE LOVED SAM COOKE AND THE SOUL STERRIS. AND THE GIRLS CAN'T HELP IT. LIL RICHARD. YOUR SO FINE THE FALCONS. HONEY LOVE. MONEY HONEY. SEXUAL HEALING. LOVE IS IN THE AIR. DARLING YOU ARE MY SHINING STAR. LET'S JUST KISS AND SAY GOODBYE. DO YOU REALLY MEAN GOODBYE. SPRING AFFAIR. THIS IS A MANS WORLD. GOING TO HAVE A FUNKY GOOD TIME. AND MANY MORE REST IN PEACE DADDY J.B

Joe had range like crazy
It was number one on the disco charts back in 1976.
I remember watching this when I was like 3 and I would sing right along with them, this is my favorite Mighty Clouds song
Love these fellows, especially for their devotion to the Lord Jesus, for dedicating their gifts to the Ministry of Jesus Christ Of Nazareth
Great.Great,Great song.Just as inspirational as anything I could ever imagine in heaven or earth.
Soul music in every sense of the word, you could never be sad listening to this.
Jimmy Martin was a force that was really powerful too. He did amazing grace and use me Lord. I have to listen to those two songs every day
fabulous song!!!!....how can you not feel happy listening to it???....that kead singer's voice is so pure and brilliant....ahhhhh!!!...LOVE it!!!!
I used to watch this over and over as a kid
I have this concert on VHS tape. It was so hard to find, but so worth it! It's called Gospel and has Mighty Clouds of Joy, James Cleveland, The Clark Sisters and Shirley Ceasar. AMAZING!
I got it on DVD
If you'll permit this post, the entire concert is now on TH-cam! th-cam.com/video/g27Cfv0kIw4/w-d-xo.html
What city was it? Cuz I watch alot of their videos and someone really knew how to give them a hair cut.
That run was insane.
Great song from the past. My parents had their album.
Great song! Super group!!
Wheeeew! One of my favorites!
1 of the Greatest to do it... RIP Mr.Ligon
Thanks for this rare clip by this legendary group!
A beautiful song... class.
MAKES ME WANT TO TESTIFY !!!!!!
that run from 2:10 to 2:15 was straight up gospel tight.
The clubs in the 70s had their own interpretation riding high on clouds. lol
DAMN!
REST IN PEACE JOE LIGON
The Mighty High is destroying Corona!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WELL DONE JOE
So dope!
the original version Mighty Clouds of Joy was done with most of the Philadelphia musicians who backed up the O'Jays, Trammps, Spinners and many other great groups!
Interesting.
That why I hear that Philly soul!
...beyond dope, actually.
It is a shame that we went from a singer singing like this to people saying a whole bunch of curse words really fast.
josh kendra .....very bad poetry, too
2:10 thru 2:14... HOLLA Joe!!!!!!! lol YESSUH Ride it, ride it!!!
RIP Joe:(
Jerry Garcia Band does an awesome rendition of this. Jerry does the lead guitar justice on this tune.
RIP Joe Ligon
