When I was in my twenties I got busted for drugs n had to move back home with my parents! And I had a job that I had to drive my daddy van! And this cassette was stuck in the cassette player! It help me get through a very rough time of shame! God brought me out n I never dealt with drugs again! Thank you Jesus!
I'm from Mississippi These guys are like family, and I saw them in person and got a chance to talk to Daddy and Harvey, Paul, Rob and all the guys, u want some good gospel let me know, Check out Georgia Mass choir, Jesus is my doctor. Mississippi Mass Choir with Moses Burks.
I come from Earle, Arkansas and I know what it's like to be poor. We went to bed hungry a lot of nights. We had pinto beans every night for dinner, except on the weekends we had fried chicken or spaghetti. Once in a while we had pork on holidays. But we knew God and He was GREAT to us. He brought us a mighty long way. I was sick and momma said the doctor told her there was nothing else He could do for me. So, she took me to the Pastor and he prayed for me and God healed me!!! Thank you God, our Father in Heaven, Holy is His name, Jesus and the Holy Ghost!!
This album deserves an oscar for its performance and delivery. This album and live in Memphis ll change the whole quartet industry as we know it now....... Harvey is the father of the new age quartet music..... He really deserves a movie
This song speaks to me. Grew up in a three room house, not a three bedroom room house but a three room house. Outhouse in the back, and a water pump to get water for the dishes and to drink. Now I live in a three bedroom three bathroom house. I KNOW the Lords been good to me. Not to mention this song is the jam. Anbody know him as a rock!
This reminded me so much of my grandma!!! She use to play this every morning!!! This brought tears to my eyes y’all!!! This is what real gospel was all about! It made you feel something!!!
This song brings tears to my eyes i sit and look around on how far God has brung me, sometimes i don't deserve the blessings that has been coming my way. But i thank God for being so good to me, he's been so good to me i can't say it enough!!!
😮I thank God my blessed mother raised me on this ghospel with her beautiful voice nd soul its because of her that I sing and my creator today, I will have this song T my funeral
Me and my little brother used to sing this song in church. I was 10 years old. They wanted us to sing this everywhere we went. The crowd would stand up singing every time.
This whole album gives memories of my childhood. Going to church. Meeting different folks. My childhood was awesome I may say. We didn't have much but we had God, each other and love.
This was my dad's favorite song. We played it at his funeral. I miss him all the time & hearing this song makes me feel like he still here. #RestInHeavenDaddy You will forever live thru me.
3 decades later, and the anointing is as strong now as it was when I first saw it. From beginning to end it was/is very apparent that the Lord's hand was all over this legendary live recording. Respect and RIP to Mr. Harvey Watkins Sr. (Dec. 5, 1929 - Nov. 16, 1994).
My granny played this so much and i tell you i forget thi song until a few weeks ago i went to church and i heard it LORD LORD LORD this here brought back some memories!!!! i was a child... 2-26-2023
Amen the. Cantons rules. They are one of my favorite ledgendary quartets. God bless them.they are one of the best quartets on the planet. For. Real. Believe it.
I was in Revival with them some years ago at my church. When they left i was cleaning the floors and the drummer had splinters everywhere. He was destroying drum sticks when the Holy Ghost got on him.
My oldest brother H.M. Harp Jr. Always song this song at the singing's that took place right in the heart of Tildenville Missionary Baptist Church!!!❤❤❤❤
Im about to be 33 this upcoming week... and i don't do church NOMORE... i don't even do religion anymore but.... This here is still my Favorite Groups of all time... i love Their Gospel Music if this Music don't bring tears to your eyes .... You aint a Child of God.... Beautiful Music!!
Classic!! 💪💪 The reason I learned 2 play guitar @ age 14.. I can remember breaking in my pops room while they was at work getting his guitar and sitting by the radio trying to add lib on every song that came on lol.. Pops beat me Everytime he caught me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 then one day he said boi here u go.. u can have it.. u sound waaaaay better then me lmao and I start playing at church and this Particular Song "Poor Family" was the 1st church song my Big Cuz Rulon Powers back in Alabama taught me how to play.. and he is apart of the reason why I still play 4 churchs today 🤞😎
This is my story, growing up in Spartanburg, SC, however the Lord has been good to me. The tells me that my latter days are better than my formal days. I know who God is, i have a relationship with Christ, i've got what i need in my life (a good spiritual women), my family is in tact, a good church family and know i'm able to enjoy retirement. God been good to me.
Hold on, let the anointings break the yokes, cause the yokes are heavey. As we move through the beginning of Sorrows, understand this: we need Jesus more than ever, Holy Ghost Power, every hour. Thank the Lord for HIS anointings on his ministers of music. Keep on in JESUS Bishop Stephen Gandy (M. Min.) Sound the Trumpet Ministries
Glory be to God in the Highest!!!!🎶🎶🎶 HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH HALLELUJAH 💃💃💃 This song really does bless my soul...it was one of my mother's favorites. She said the lyrics truly reminded her of her childhood growing up down in the South
Harvey Watkins at his best; I love The Canton Spirituals and watching them perform this song especially. Harvey Watkins was and still is one of the best front men in the music industry. God bless The Canton Spirituals.
It’s because my grandmother instilled in me lord I love you grandma I miss you so much I encourage you all to keep music like this alive because it’s no like this anymore
The Cantons were the first gospel quartet I ever listened too, the true beginning of my quartet music experience starting with their hit, “Memories, When Will I See You Again” off the WOW Gospel 2001 VHS my father brought home 12-29-2001, we played that performance over and over, that started my love for the Cantons and my folks started buying all their videos for me to watch. I first saw this performance back in 2004 when I was ten years old on a show called “Gospel Video Countdown” on MBC (The Black Family Channel) and it left an indelible mark of me. From then on it was everything Cantons for me, been a full fledged fan ever since. It is true when it’s said that the Canton Spirituals were game changers in the story of quartet gospel music and this album is a landmark and trendsetter for every quartet group that has dared to follow them. Live in Memphis 1 & 2 set a trend we are still following to this day, over 30 years later. ❤
I remember my grandaddy telling me he was in a choir but it slipped my mind...I'll never forget on our way to Wal-Mart I was changing stations going back n fwd and I got to 95.7 I said im just gone keep it on here... This song came on and all I heard my grandaddy sing "I come from a poo family, we didn't have murchhh but the Lordd" I bucked my eyes head still straight fwd that shocked the mess outta me lol and sounded good too. RIP Grandaddy 😔😍
GROWIN UP AS A KID AND MY GRANDA LISTENED 2 GOSPEL, IT WLD IRRITATE ME. BUT WHEN THAT PART "ANYBODY KNW HIM 2 BE A ROCK IN A WEARY LAND?" I CAME BACK AND LISTENED. THAT SWITCH UP DREW ME IN AND IM THANKFUL FOR THOSE DAYS WITH HER CAUSE IT TAUGHT ME ALOT THAT I APPRECIATE TODAY.
When I was in my twenties I got busted for drugs n had to move back home with my parents! And I had a job that I had to drive my daddy van! And this cassette was stuck in the cassette player! It help me get through a very rough time of shame! God brought me out n I never dealt with drugs again! Thank you Jesus!
That's quite a testimony!
Don't be ashamed it's called life, show me someone who's perfect and I'll show you a lier..you made it thru and your not the only one...we love you !
Amen
Praise God Thank you JESUS 🙌🏾🙌🏾
It was stuck in there for that very reason 🙏🏽

This song speaks to me we were in a house where we didn't have no air or heat and half of our house didn't have no electricity. We were poor.
My dad was a pastor I was about ten or 12 I remember him singing his lungs out to this and here I am almost 20yrs later jamming this at work
I remember my mom playing this song and so many other Canton gospel songs 😢
There is nothing as uplifting as good old southern gospel. You cannot get depressed listening to it. What a blessing.
😮I thank God my blessed mother raised me on this ghospel with her beautiful voice nd soul its because of her that I sing and my creator today, I will have this song T my funeral
One of, if not the best Gospel album's of all time, whenever i need a pick me up i listen to this song particularly.........
A Holy Ghost good great time. I’m in tears listening. God has brought me a mighty way
That man was enjoying Jesus and himself at that recording 😄😄
