nothing beats the curtis mayfield's original, but this is a commendable effort. alicia keys is one of very few contemporary r&b artistes who are worthy succesors to the rich musical tradition of soul/rhythm n blues.
Alicia always finds a ways to render songs beautifully. No matter how many times you've heard them, it always seems as if it was the first time when when miss keys sings them! just awsome...
Powerful Song!!! ❤️ People get ready..,.. ❤️ You don't need no baggage. Just get on board.. I want to thank you Lord Powerful SMH Alicia voice gave me chills. Simply Anointed! ❤️
This song brings a tear to my eye everytime I hear it. It reminds me of Glory Road. We can all work together and tear wall of hatred and injustice down. God Bless, One Love to all.
Aww I remember hearing this years ago when I was a teenager and I was so moved by the message and praise to the Lord (who I did not know at the time). Later on I was saved by the grace of God and now I am HIS hallelujah
B-utiful! How can anyone have anything bad to say about Alicia after this performance She is openly and publicly thanking the Lord. Very humble and not ashamed to profess how she feels. Much respect and love.
Curtis Mayfield was known as the poet! A great songwriter and singer-performer; although Alicia is really good. God worked on this little girl and her mommy.
Her voice cracked at the end! She thought she was gonna hit the note easy. But that literally was the only time she was off key cause she sang this song wonderful respectively in her lower octave.
With all due respect to the other artists who have performed (and in the case of Curtis Mayfield written) this song, I think I'll go back to listening to Eva's Cassidy's version. Blows everything else out of the water.
Agreed. I love Jeff Beck on the guitar but recently heard Evas version. Jesus is the way, the truth the life. No one can come to the father but through him.
People get ready There's a train a-coming You don't need no baggage You just get on board All you need is faith To hear the diesels humming Don't need no ticket You just thank the lord People get ready For the train to jordan Picking up passengers From coast to coast Faith is the key Open the doors and board them There's room for all Among the loved the most There ain't no room For the hopeless sinner Who would hurt all mankind just To save his own Have pity on those Whose chances are thinner Cause there's no hiding place From the kingdom's throne So people get ready For the train a-comin' You don't need no baggage You just get on board! All you need is faith To hear the diesels humming Don't need no ticket You just thank, you just thank the lord Yeah Ooh Yeah Ooh I'm getting ready I'm getting ready This time i'm ready This time i'm ready
Beautiful performance of one of the most conscientious songs of all-time... if Lyfe were there, the performance would've been that much better. Nevertheless, Alicia repped this like a champ... neva forgettin to give thanks to God... that's real.
jealsousy is a heavy inspired creepy directed by the devil thing this woman has more talent in herpinky finger than those of you who apose her more woman than most men qualify for GOD BLESS AND KEEP HER IN HIS LOVE ..
I like alicia keys and her albums. I just wanted to make an opinion. Is the opinion still mine or I have to fake it. I like original artists in any area. It includes (music,comedy,actors,ma, and every day of life. I think we are all artists.(Human Beings)

Powerful SMH
Alicia voice gave me chills.
Simply Anointed! ❤️
Not many people around today could cover this so well. Curtis would be proud!
2019...Glory Road the epic end of the movie just brought me here ❤❤ I have watched the movie so many times but I just can't get enough of it
There is an argument that says "People Get Ready" is the greatest songs ever written and I struggle to find a counter argument. Mr. Mayfield RIP
this great song was written by Curtis Mayfield. What a gift ! Thank you, Curtis.
Eva Cassidy had the voice of an angel..I love Alicia, and of course Curtis, but Eva left us way too soon. The best female voice ever. RIP Eva
That was breath-taking! Alicia's voice is flawless!!!!!!!!!
Very good Alicia, I love this song . All we is faith, you just get on board
This song brings a tear to my eye everytime I hear it. It reminds me of Glory Road. We can all work together and tear wall of hatred and injustice down. God Bless, One Love to all.

Eva Cassidy gave a sweet soulful version, too. But hearing Curtis is the bomb! I loved Alicia's version, too.

Some people need to give Alicia credit, she did a great job. Of course nothing is better than the original, but stop putting her down.
GLORY ROAD
Not fake, not oversung. Just beautiful.
I love Alicia Keys! I also love Crystal Bowersox's version ;)
People get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the lord
People get ready
For the train to jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's room for all
Among the loved the most
There ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just
To save his own
Have pity on those
Whose chances are thinner
Cause there's no hiding place
From the kingdom's throne
So people get ready
For the train a-comin'
You don't need no baggage
You just get on board!
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank, you just thank the lord
Yeah
Ooh
Yeah
Ooh
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
This time i'm ready
This time i'm ready
Curtis! True Legend!!!!
I love Alicia but no one did this better than the man who wrote it ... Curtis Mayfield!!
The greatest voice ever
That is so not true.
CharlieBo313 yea actually it is
I suppose its a matter of opinion, but go and watch the Joss Stone cover of this track, it blows it straight out of the water.
Seriously
alicia keys is amazing.
Beautiful performance of one of the most conscientious songs of all-time... if Lyfe were there, the performance would've been that much better. Nevertheless, Alicia repped this like a champ... neva forgettin to give thanks to God... that's real.
Alicia did so good on this song
Regardless of who sings this song! All CREDIT is due to the SONG, LYRICS, MELODY & HARMONY!! Blessed!!
The best of R&B!
loooove this song !!!! beautiful alicia 3
NOW, THIS IS MUSIC. I miss the OLD Alicia. Is there any way we can get her back on that piano...? (Just from one musician to another....)
@jamesboyd101 She did murdered this song. She delivered and sang beautifully.
she did a good job
thank you Lord :)
God bless well done girl! :)

Lool glory road brought me here too
curtis mayfield the most underrated artist ever
Rod Stewart!!!!

Brasil a gente se por aqui!!!
Nobody can beat Curtis and the Impressions, but this is the next best thing...That Dusty Springfield version is hard to listen to.
Alicia sing it girl! do your thing!
she's Amazing
The movie GloryRoad brought me here
same here :P
great song!
No one can sang this song like Curtis Mayfield & the impressions
Crystal should easily be the next American Idol, but this song belongs to Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions. For this song, they were the best.
I LOVE this songg
now u know why Bob Dylan likes her so much
just close your eyes and listen. 3:13 minutes of escape and pure joy.
Curtis Mayfield... RIP!
In a world of individuals let's just enjoy every persons version of this song. How boring would it be if everyone sang it the same way?
@ubootwaffe
Beck and Joss Stone, the best version ever!
Call the police because someone just murdered a classic! Truly, truly missed the feel of this song.
Bob Dylan has good taste, she is HOT !
Glory Road brought me here
@oso75904 cuz most young people these days don't know good music and just listen to all this rap mixed with techno.
goosebumps..
she is in the billie holiday class ...and aretha franklin
Alicia does this very well. However, the standard bearer, with apologies to Curtis Mayfield, is Eva Cassidy.
Wow
LA PELLE D'OCA MI FA VENIRE...
crystal and alicia should have done a duet! hopefully for the finals! :)
alicia should have sung this at whitneys' funeral!!!!!
Lamar Paylor that was so sad
jealsousy is a heavy inspired creepy directed by the devil thing this woman has more talent in herpinky finger than those of you who apose her more woman than most men qualify for GOD BLESS AND KEEP HER IN HIS LOVE ..
SEAL also does a very cool version.....
Blessed woman
There was a video of her inviting Lyfe Jennings on stage to perform with her. . . I'm unable to locate it on here anymore.
iine!!
I like alicia keys and her albums. I just wanted to make an opinion.
Is the opinion still mine or I have to fake it. I like original artists in any area.
It includes (music,comedy,actors,ma, and every day of life. I think we are all artists.(Human Beings)
yeah!!
@adls08 i reckon the new album is going to be more like this. Should of seen her at her "Piano&I" shows in 2011. Now that was jaw dropping!
if I could I will marry Her, at once...
i watched this right after i watched eva cassidy's version of this song...jesus cassidy's so so so so much better..!
@tamaranow AMEN!!!!

Who don't know who's Curtis Mayfield? That's just ignant! LOL!

@sparks199 Affectionately, Alicia
