I remember being a kid dancing in the Paradise Garage, The opening of the song was like shards of crystal falling from the sky and piercing my body, it was an exquisite moment. Larry was a genius at creating an out of body experience with his magically spiritual mixes..... Larry could conjure the spirit at will..... I am a witness....
@Alsoald Alsoald calm down, and read the title it literally SAYS, (LARRY LAVAN MIX ). YOU FAKE Assoald... LOL. It ain't that deep just my experience...
Seth Troxler played this at 5am at Glastonbury on the final morning, never seen so many people lose their minds to a song they'd never heard before. Amazing.
Classic! When this record was played in the clubs everyone would just began stomping, throw their hands up and feel the music. You had to be there! A Zanzibar Classic.
These r the core lyrics, repeated throughout the song.... That's how he works, that's how, the good Lord, he works. That's how the Good Lord works, that's how he works. We must not question the Good Lord, have faith in God & trust his word. We don't know how, we don't know where. Choose ye this day, whom ye shall serve. Stand on the word. The word of God. STAND!
FYI Tim Lawrence, author of Love Saves The Day and one of the definitive authorities on Larry Levan’s career, is extremely direct. “There’s no way that Larry mixed this,” Lawrence wrote over email. “I’ve been researching this period in intense micro-detail for the last seven years, with Levan the key figure, and it would have come to light if he’d carried out a remix. It’s clearly just a bit of honest misinformation or a slightly underhand marketing ploy to say he did a remix. Again, if you listen to the record you’ll hear that there’s nothing about it that resembles a remix or indeed the remixes that Larry was carrying out in this period.” Lawrence does say that Levan, who was brought up on gospel and was in a gospel choir as a boy, would play gospel at the Paradise Garage. But it wasn’t a constant. “He’d only play it towards the very end of the night, often when there were only a few people on the floor,” Lawrence says. “It’s possible he played ‘Stand On The Word’ during those outro hours, but nobody has confirmed this and it clearly wasn’t a big record for him.” Danny Krivit and David DePino, the latter of whom would have significant firsthand knowledge of Levan’s selections as his protégé at the Garage, have said that they don’t remember Levan playing it at the club. It’s also telling that of the eight official compilations released of Levan’s “Paradise Garage Classics,” not a single one includes “Stand On The Word.” I believe that someone believed that Larry Levan did a mix, and it just spread. In other words, credibility was automatic. Tony Humphries
I just heard this song on Dutch public radio. Stopped what I was doing and listened. Wow! I am a full blown atheist, by the way, but this song got my blood going! Thanks!

Blessings! Bros & Sis WoW! I just heard this song like 3 weeks ago here in San Antonio Texas! I love it! I was getting really getting into the spirit on another level with the song. It was love & meaning to life. I was getting there. Then dj gabriel changed the song. Anyway it's all about Love! Thank you Jesus! '

This tune featured at the end of an episode in a UK sitcom called "Sirens" Series 1, Episode 5. I tracked it down with some detective work, and was pleasantly surprised. Now I want more Larry Levan! What a mix!
SING CHURCH.............SUNDAY MORNING. (6am)..JUST WOKE UP in the Video Room Watching some black& white movie.......damn Larry...oh yeah..the eggs where ready.........recharged...club just started Roof Top Open.......just missing Boyd on the keys........listen to that ...can you hear him
Quelqu'un aurait-il une idée de comment faire pour se procurer la partition de piano de ce morceau? La musique est extra! La scène du film l'est tout autant! Joey Starr qui danse dessus m'a donnée des frissons. Cette version est encore mieux je trouve. Please! Somebody knows how to get the partition??? (piano). Thanks
Saw Seth drop this at the end of a mates private villas party in Ibiza 2015 (Thank you Mitch Wilson!). Daylight going down with everyone just so fucking happy. Will never forgot that moment. Great tune.

Stand on the word, the word of God
One of the highest moments in the clubculture history.

I use to hear this when Larry was in The Paradise Garage Club NYC 🤩🪩🎵🎶🎶🎶
Goosebumps every single time!
This is a bop, I'm not even religious.
i feel like it's a bit bigger than a bop
@@nickhyder9141 Much bigger than a bop, and I'm far from religious.
One of DJ Mehdi's favourite songs.
RIP Mehdi
RIP Larry

You can never mix into this, its a moment, then you play it- then the rest you know.
Who else is here because of The Righteous Gemstones episode 1?
I just heard this song on Dutch public radio. Stopped what I was doing and listened. Wow! I am a full blown atheist, by the way, but this song got my blood going! Thanks!
Radio 1 toch?? Ik had nooit van die plaat gehoord. Net de vinyl versie besteld.
@@maartennederland5096 Klopt. Bij de Nieuws BV.
I pray one day you open your heart to God who loves you....and see how HE gets your blood pumping. ✌
Thats how the good Lord works. Its only a matter of time. Come back to the light 😉 🙏
The electronic music duo Justice love this song and it inspired them to make the song 'D.A.N.C.E'
Maybe you want to listen to Para One´s and the South African youth choir´s "Elevation":

Kanye's Sunday Service brought me here in 2019! I was around for house music in the beginning too. So good! Praise GOD!
Orange Sunshine brought me here.
I came here cause of The Righteous Gemstones 💎
who's here because they put effort into finding music and love the history of underground dance music Vs hearing it on a TV show???
Im not here because I heard it on a TV show, but I won't lie in the big picture I'm here because of Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Amen
Best version on RUclips.
Whew this hit so hard!! Good times with this beauty

They don't know how he works and it shows ! Smh
this is simply sensational!
The best version/mix/edit/whatever. Touch by the hand's Larry Levan. Masterpiece
He didn't touch it at all. This is the original LP version. He only played it at Paradise Garage. That's it.
Well his hand touched it then ;-)
dizzy67 Actually, no one can remember him even playing it.
This is the only version..
THATS HOW THE GOOD LORD WORKS

King David danced when he worshiped. He made mistakes but his love for God outshined all that.
this song refers to the spirit of legendary paradise garage!!!
You are unfortunately wrong, but God Bless you.
At 2:13 it almost looked like Franklin smiling for a second (Snowfall brought me here) That's How he works!
This is my favorite gospel songs and music
My god, where has the music gone ? Thank you for the commentary and history.
This tune featured at the end of an episode in a UK sitcom called "Sirens" Series 1, Episode 5.

Optimo essential mix brought me here
Justice's D.A.N.C.E was inspired by this Luc Potato
how so?
Not so accurate, Justice´s D.A.N.C.E was originally inspired by MJ " Thriller "
Love this ✊🏾
probably lcd's soundsystem 45:33 part. 2 was inspired by this also
Yes, James Murphy mentioned this title on tensongsthatsavedyourlife.
They also used it as their intro music the other night in Barcelona
yeh it's their intro music for all their gigs currently
Thats how the good lord works... right?
Merci au film de Polisse de Maïwenn de nous faire découvrir ce bijou.

Quelqu'un aurait-il une idée de comment faire pour se procurer la partition de piano de ce morceau? La musique est extra! La scène du film l'est tout autant! Joey Starr qui danse dessus m'a donnée des frissons. Cette version est encore mieux je trouve.
Please! Somebody knows how to get the partition??? (piano). Thanks
@msdoc05 - thank you for that info. Like God, this song is timeless.
Live at Paradise Garage w/ Terry Urban & P-Sol ( A Tribute To PG & Larry Levan) listen at terryurbandotcom

Saw Seth drop this at the end of a mates private villas party in Ibiza 2015 (Thank you Mitch Wilson!). Daylight going down with everyone just so fucking happy. Will never forgot that moment. Great tune.
Which CD is this?? - 3:05
LARRY LEVAN HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS SONG OTHER THAN PLAYING IT.
correct
Possibly never played it either !
@@rupertgreenlees9329 It is well known that he indeed played, probably we wont be here right now if he didnt play it back in the days.
@@mauroaiello1217 well known - just not neccesarily true interestingly enough
