HE'S been so GOOD! wasn't feeling too good this Sunday morning. Although I haven't heard this so in a long time, it didn't change the meaning of the song that God had been so good to me and I love him. Praise GOD for his goodness, still blessing me and you.
I will never forget my trip to the FCD, i was on my honeymoon, Feb. 13, 1966, what a time we had. I am now 74 years old and still laugh about going there on my honeymoon, we were from Mich and use to listen on WCFL, wow, where have all those years gone?
man..i miss church likegrowing up in my church this...im coming to visit there as soon as come to chi-town....i love this old scholl feeling...reminds me of
First church of deliverance use to air over WLUP AM 1000 at 11 pm LIVE. Those were the good ole days. Glad to see First church still holds that 11 pm spot, even if it is pre recorded. First church of deliverance is a model church in many ways and cant be beat. The Adult choir is very diverse in singing. Just like the song here, they can turn around and sound like the mormon tabernacle choir with an anthem. St james of detroit was the only church with that similar rich full sound.
I did too. I listened every Sunday night in bed on a tiny transistor radio hidden under my pillow, I did so until the passing of Rev. Clarence Cobb. There was so much energy, I couldn't fall asleep after the broadcast! Even over the radio, I could "feel" the Holy Ghost doing His thing. It just wasn't the quite same after Rev. Cobb's passing. Now, under the current director, the choir today is nothing like what it once used to sound like under the former leadership and musicians, especially that fantastic organist from back in the day. Please go back to the original First Church of Deliverance musical repertoire and that fantastic unmistakable sound!
Most of those choir members are dead now, even the choir directors and instrumentalists. And the sound in Gospel music has changed. It is now a lighter, more pop sound. First Church has held onto as much of the past as it can, it seems. But things have changed, and so has its sound, somewhat.
I so glad the FCOD keeps the church and choir sound alive where you can feel the anointing and that sacredness of the church still being the church. Yes Lord!!!!
I got MUCHO love for the Spiritual/Deliverance church. A church which I played organ for several of their churches and many of their services. Yes we were there ALL DAY and into the night....but I loved it!
I was never a member of FCD but during the summer months when I was young my mother would let me stay up on Sunday night to listen to Fred, Sr. play and hear the choir sing. I loved the evening anthems and the choir songs but I wanted to hear Jesus is the Light. At 51 I still try to play like Mr. Fred (Lol) Ive never been inside FCD so this is incredible for me. Thank you for posting. You have done my heart well my friend.
Please post MORE!!!! I have waited to see the service for a long time. Love FCOD, listen to the broadcast every Sunday night on the internet. Peace and blessings.
This is an old church.I remember First church Of Deliverance when I was a little girl back in the 60's.My mother was a member Aka( Rev.Anna Malone) those were the good ole days.
This is uplifting old time church music that makes your foot tap. However i do enjoy music like this, but the musicians are WAY too LOUD. They are not balanced, the choir can not be heard! The piano should be the lead instrument because it is the softest, then the organist should play under the piano. The percussionist should be felt, not heard. Nonetheless, i enjoy music like this.
You are right 100%, except for one thing. Rev. Bryson is the organist and is an excellent organist. However, he is always heavy on that expression pedal. I think it is all the way up. It is not clear if he has a hearing problem or what, but he usually plays too loud for the choir to be heard clearly. Of course, the other musicians follow his lead and play too loud as well. Most musicians know when they are playing too loud, so it is not clear what the problem here is all about. However, at First Church, the organ is the lead instrument, always. The piano is good for a recording, but for church services, it may as well not be there.
Absolutely would!!! A Choir that yet MARCHES in!!!!

Beautifully done. I love it! From a Roman Catholic church organist!

Visited in the 60's with a bunch of college students. Loved it and listened to Rev Cobb every Sunday night.

Thank You Elder, for making my church visible to me and others. Your sister in Christ!!!!!
I grew up listening to them on the radio with my mom and still remember those days as an adult now.That was real church.
Lord have mercy! Nobody like them!
I so glad the FCOD keeps the church and choir sound alive where you can feel the anointing and that sacredness of the church still being the church. Yes Lord!!!!
this what church is all about. first church always knows how to open a service.
