If the internet came into existence only to bring this video to humanity at large, then it was well worth the effort. God bless the Heavenly Gospel Singers.
That brother said sometin‘👍
Amen, my brother.
The only names I could find for these men are Arthur Lee "Bob" Beaty: One of the original members, Fred Whitmore: Another original member who remained in the group for a significant period, Henderson Massey: A baritone singer who also served as the group's manager, Roosevelt Fennoy: The lead singer of the group, Jimmy Bryant: The bass singer, often referred to as "Gospel Jimmy" Bryant. I also read that there were other members of the group at certain times, William Bobo and Jimmy Bryant (a different individual), and others.
Another group of black men coming together on one accord. They are honestly enjoying giving back to God a talent He gave them. Sang fellas.
I love this. This is a rare gem. This reminds me of a church I used to go to. Church don't have church like they used to.
Just four voices and hand clapping! I love it.
It was illegal for black people to have drums for a few hundred years.
During that time we get the stomp,clap tambourine,banjo music( folk and early gospel) .
Even today when the choir cuts the drums and hits the stomp and clap it does something to our souls
I am a stone atheist and this still makes me want to sing along.
That’s real Gospel singing!!!! No music 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This is the coolest video clip I've ever experienced.
Lord, Lord what a bass!

Thank You for sharing this Jewel
Oh how I miss this hymnal call & response gospel! I remember hearing much the same in the mid-late 70's as a little boy on the southside of Chicago and my summers in Tchula Mississippi and Marianna Arkansas....you could just FEEL the emotion and praise.
I love it. Especially the bass singer just touches your soul 🎉
Powerful 🔥our history. Beautiful
Wonderful on so many levels, not the least of which is the joy, humor and pride so evident in these gentlemen as they perform. Masterful.
I love this, puts a big smile on my face.
That bass man I absolutely love it
That top man is ringing like a bell
The Lord shines in the faces of these men.
If only I could have been one of those sitting in that room
Albert Terrell (not Taylor) is my grandfather. Growing up I had the privilege of being the room when they would have rehearsal.
