There is no way Kathleen Battle is out sung here. What counts are the complimentary qualities of Jessye's big dramatic voice and Kathleen's light ringing flexible voice. Both a fabulous - a unique event.
Exactly. I was going to say the same thing. Comparing these two is definitely a hard comparison. Very hard case to make indeed. Both are superb. Jessye had a very dramatic, full rich voice whereas Kathleen had a very high, light, ringing, precise voice. Both complemented each other very well.
@ harpguy 18 I think Ms. Evelyn Simpson Currenton arranged most if not all of the arrangements for orchestra, chorus, and soloists for this performance.

I always enjoy listening to her beautiful voice. ..DIED SO young..
The complete joy in their voices. Ugh! I wish this was added to the recorded album.
Magnífico
Everytime I hear these beautiful voices my soul shouts!!!
yes. yes. yes. YES!!! So happy this is on you tube. Can't understand why it wasn't on the CD. Along with a few other gems.

miss norman was NOT playing around. she came with power.
That doesn't matter. It was a part of the concert and should have been included.
i love this song sing ladies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simplesmente perfeitas, maravilhosas, únicas.
I love Jessye
True. Norman is such a "killer". In a good way. Love them both
R.I.P....MY GREAT SOPRANO....R..I..P...........................
I.... LOVE.... YOU
Ms. Battle will never find a better partner. They were made for each other.
@JuniorJury9, there is an old saying here which says: "Size is not Document". I hope I was able to convey my message.
Jessye has a more powerful voice. Kathleen has a silvery quality to her voice. Both are beautiful. And I love this Spiritual.
haha me too... especially at the part where she was like "did your soul feel HAPPY"
@harpguy18 - They rerecorded some of the pieces for the CD. This captures the live filmed concert.
I know what you're talking about....it seems to have been removed, I can't find it either. It's a shame, it was a really interesting video!
They are dynamite. It's good to see artists that can get their talent across without being lewd or doing anything racy.
@Cleveland1040 It's called 'Scandalize My Name'
Jessye had to restrain her voice from blowing Kathleen off the stage
I guess it was a good idea to leave this song from the CD. I didn't really care for it.
I love Jessye
