    • @michaelcross6526
      @michaelcross6526 8 лет назад +25

      Okay... I've happily listened to June's Diary, since two people said I should. I actually listened to several different videos of them singing. While I think they're really gifted singers, their arrangements of the anthem don't compare. Chords, cadence, even doing this whole song... they are not even in the same ball park. Granted, these are two totally different singing groups, with completely different objectives...I'm not at all comparing or contrasting the groups themselves. Because honestly it's apples and oranges. But as far as Lift Every Voice goes, Committed has this in THE BAG. All the way.

    • @maguffle
      @maguffle 8 лет назад +12

      I agree. June's Diary's version is beautiful but this one is spine tingling! While both arrangements are amazing, I prefer the cadence and chord choices this one makes. It doesn't hurt that I'm biased because I sing 2nd tenor down to bass and this version is more in my vocal wheelhouse.

    I was 6 yrs old when I first heard this song. Not realizing the song was first published in 1942. A black anthem that gave me hope, strength, an outlook to prosper.
    My biblical leader taught on the lyrics of this song. Hearing this song brought me to tears 😪😪😪 because I was so alert at this age to realize my parents were separating and we (my mom, me-6, my brother4 and my sister3, youngest sister 2) were walking to our new rental home after moving out of my grandmothers house-after living with her for a year. It brought me to tears because at this age I loved my black family but more than anything- I loved our Black (Israelites) people. This song gave me a feeling if liberty, joy and love. So, never put it past your child that they don't feel- they just don't know how to put it in words (their actions are their words). Stay in the Blessed Israel. Shalom. APTTMH!

    Oh, my God has given you all gifts! This is the most beautiful arrangement I've ever heard of the Johnson brothers', James Weldon (words) and John Rosamond (music) "Lift Every Voice," AKA the "Black National Anthem." That's saying a lot because I've been singing it since grade school. Your intricate, moving harmony and rhythm are symbols of the miracles we can bring about when we work together. Thank you for sharing your exceptional voices. I had to stand still and listen. Many blessings to each of you ❤

      @@neetrab Are you saying black people aren't considered lives? Damn, you're worse than the slavers. When I say all lives matter, I mean all lives matter. Do you understand that not having unity wont accomplish anything? Martin Luthor King Jr. hated riots and wanted the world to have peace so he achieved his goal through civil discourse. The BLM movement wants no peace and will burn buildings, loot, doxx and topple statues of Abraham Lincoln, for if it wasn't for him, slavery would still be very popular today.
