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.

That doesn't matter. It was a part of the concert and should have been included.
The complete joy in their voices. Ugh! I wish this was added to the recorded album.

Everytime I hear these beautiful voices my soul shouts!!!
2 of my most favorite Ladies of the Stage... They are nothing short of what I want heaven to be when I get there!!!
Jessye Norman you are FOREVER loved!
One of my Favorites Opera singer, miss Jessye Norman. BEAUTIFUL....ANGELS of God....WOW!!!!
True. Norman is such a "killer". In a good way. Love them both
What a wonderful performance JESUS!!!
That was just so wonderful! Praise the Almighty God for the talent he placed in these two women!
I always enjoy listening to her beautiful voice. ..DIED SO young..
All of these years later and again, I thank you for uploading this :)
Magnífico
Jessye has a more powerful voice. Kathleen has a silvery quality to her voice. Both are beautiful. And I love this Spiritual.
Ms. Battle will never find a better partner. They were made for each other.
(1:13) Have you been redeemed, have you been redeemed, have you been redeemed.....love that verse. just love the way she delivered.
Jesus... these ladies are incredible!
Thanx for this one too!
Simplesmente perfeitas, maravilhosas, únicas.

I love Jessye

R.I.P....MY GREAT SOPRANO....R..I..P...........................
Jessye had to restrain her voice from blowing Kathleen off the stage
@JuniorJury9, there is an old saying here which says: "Size is not Document". I hope I was able to convey my message.
haha me too... especially at the part where she was like "did your soul feel HAPPY"

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!
I.... LOVE.... YOU
I guess it was a good idea to leave this song from the CD. I didn't really care for it.
@harpguy18 - They rerecorded some of the pieces for the CD. This captures the live filmed concert.
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'
I love Jessye
I barley realized Kathleen was in this cut, lol (Benj Jr Graham) was right.....you was NOT playing around!
