Growing up in black neighborhoods of the 60s and early 70s. This was the music you would hear coming from almost every house on a Sunday. Our parents and grandparents struggled in ways that we will never comprehend. But our neighborhoods were peaceful. There were the neighborhood drunks and reefer heads. But even they were respectful. There were too many injustices to our oeople to want those times back. But if only we had continued the love, respect, and genuine caring that our fore fathers had for each other.
I am a person who love’s the gospel music I am from New York City grew up and always had that deep down feel that I should have been born in the south love the tradition of a family going to church every Sunday anlistening to great gospel how much closer can you be to god !!!!!!!
I'm listening to this music for the first time. It's mind blowing. I've always known that Sam Cook got his start with the Soul Stirrer s.My late and great brother ln law, J.C.Fulton sang with them back in the 50s.My Lord.I needed this. God Is.
I Sang " A Friend Above All Others " with 3 brothers from my church at a Gospel festival in Inglewood, Ca back in 2006 . All The Elder Mother's 60 y/o and up Lost it ! And the younger crowd was liking it but had just never seen the Elder Sisters shout and scream that way , It almost shocked me to the point where I had to close my eyes so I could concentrate on my words .....
Sam COOKE was not the HEADLINER, BUT THIS SHOW SOLIDIFIED HIS REPUTATION as being BIGGER THAN GOSPEL, HE WRECKED THE SHRINE, AUDITORIUM 65 YEARS LATER, THEY STILL TALKING ABOUT IT.RIP
Sam and Paul literally rode that guitar and the bass singer on "be with me Jesus" it takes real talent and the background singers kept the tune with no mistakes which led to great all around performance.
Im so filled with joy when I listen to the roots of the greatest singer of all time growing and spreading during this short performance backed by the co-lead, the legendary late great Paul Foster and the rest of The Soul Stirrers.
Thank you Tony for posting this song and the visual aid in the background, I see Sam and the Soul Stirrers along with the Caravans and others on the same bill, what a performance and uplifting experience I'm sure🥰❤️🖤💚#I love God and all of his people and all of his music❤️🖤💚🥰
As I listen it takes me back to a time to where as I listen I get pull into his sound carrying me to a hight of who they are the soul stirrers. Me up and be where they are with Jesus 😂
I wished that he had stayed with Gospel songs. And, not left the earth the way he did. It saddens me.😢 May God have mercy on his soul! His voice was heaven sent as he glorified God singing Gospel songs❤.❤❤
