I have never felt a need to comment online, however, I felt compelled to do so. As a professional singer in the business for over 20 yrs, when a singer is motivated by the heart to sing, there is no rehearsal needed. This goes for any occasion in life. If one knows TRUE talent, they would recognize and discern that Rachelle does not need to conform to anyones standard. She is in a league of her own.
Rachelle is on another level totally! She just refused to conform to what the industry wanted her to be! She is her own woman and knows exactly who she is!
Rachelle sang from her heart. That is enough. There is no need for any negative comments or opinions. When something is from the heart, it is pure and sincere. This was her gift to him. Let everyone, especially the naysayers, treat it with respect. THAT IS MY OPINION.
Oh my goodness!!! The woman is ridiculously gifted. Bernie was right in loving this songstress. Who ever disliked this should have their sanity checked.
Pple shouldnt make comments if they no nuthin about music, Rachelle Farrell is great, this is a beautiful composition...in addition to that, she wonderful, hockeymaster2000 ur comment was off the wall
Rachelle Ferrell is a vessel of control singing and beautiful vocal ability. She is a sanger in a half, Trust me I know what I wrote. GOD bless her I just wish she put out more material.
YES SHE IS FOR REAL!! THE SISTA IS AWESOME!! She's VERY under rated here in the U.S., she gets her props from the U.K., we need to support our people more. Give PRAISES where it's due!!
THIS WOMAN IS MAGNIFICENT!!!!! HER VOICE IS LIKE FINE WINE THAT GOES DOWN WITH SUCH EASE ON A COOL EVENING BY CANDLELIGHT. HER RANGE IS INCREDIBLE. HER VOICE IS TRULY A GIFT FROM THE LORD
now im not insecure for the faces i make when im singing, i know now that i dont have to hide because when i hide it, the song sounds boring and not from the heart...Thank You Ms.Ferrell
TO SAY THIS WOMAN IS ANNOINTED AND GIFTED AND BLESSED, IS AN "UNDERSTATEMENT" MY GOD, MY GOD, MY GOD....GOOD, EXCELLENT, POWERFUL..THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW AMAZINGLY THIS WOMAN'S VOICE IS.....WWWWWWWOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
When Rachelle sings, you feel it in your core! Your head shakes, your eyes peer, and you just think Mm Mm Mm, "saaang da song!" (Whatever it is) Just saaang!!
This is what I'm talking about. This is an example of letting go and praising God in spirit and in truth. A praise and worship that's not mocked or rehearsed but truly lead by the Holy Spirit. To God Be The Glory!
I'm convinced that this woman is the greatest singer living today. Others may sell more records and others may have "prettier" voices, but there is no one living that can match her vocal ability or style. For what she can do she is untouchable. Period.
There are no words for Rachelle Ferrell. I can say that this is one artist that has taken the time to polish and perfect her craft. Now she is serious about her music.
My favorite moment is when it seems like the spirit took over and she did two circles then on the circle she went and bowed to the organist. Then she went off stage. All while holding a Eb5 then transferring it to a D6. My second favorite part is a tie. When the spirit took over the first time and she started dancing. Then when she started scatting that was amazing.
Lord have mercy, at around 4:40 seeing her playing the piano and hitting the high notes and holding them all at the same time made me stand up and turn in circles. she's been my favorite for many years.
I love that she starts beatboxing in church!!! Work!!! You want to be blown away, throw a jazz vocalist in a church, and ask her to sing Gospel!! Long live the Queen Rachelle Ferrell, and Rest In Peace Bernie Mac!
Now I know why vocalists like Rachelle can never be mainstream! Their talent is too awesome, too powerful to be compromised by the confinements of mainstream. One has to be at the right place and at the right time to discover such God given beautiful and miraculous talent, and O will they bask on discovering Rachelle!
jazzcherzo you are so correct. This gifted woman has never gotten the exposure she well deserves. When I first heard her cd in the 90s I was hooked and been hooked every since.
Got to love this woman....my oh my...she is true liberation....the way she expresses herself and totally gives it all to you. For all those ignorant people commenting about the faces she makes you obvious have no talent and no nothing about the first instrument and what it takes to make such a wonderful sound. Keep your less intelligent comments to yourself !
LaaaaawdHa'mercyyyyyyy!!!!! I ain't NEVA in my entire Life seen anybody turn out a Funeral like that since Mahailia Jackson in "Immitation of Life"!!! Rachelle is a Holy Beast!!! PHEW!!!
If this amazing, outstanding, mesmerizing unbelievable, overwhelming, soul stirring, instrumental vocals, that this God- gifted, woman with such a beautiful talent, Doesn't touch your Soul, Your Spirit, From The Top of Your Head, To The Bottom Of Your Toes......Then I strongly suggest that you get your Pulse checked......Immediately! God Bless You , Ms. Ferrell!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🏿🙏🏿 Rest In Paradise, Mr.Bernie Mac .👆👆🙏🏿🙏🏿
+Yvette Williams YEESSS! I have her first album also, but I wish she'd make a gospel album!! Can't NOBODY touch her. I just give props where they're due!

There are no words for Rachelle Ferrell. I can say that this is one artist that has taken the time to polish and perfect her craft. Now she is serious about her music.
She is always amazing definitely unmatched vocally.
If you don't feel something while listening to this or after hearing you have no soul and I'll pray for you.
She sound like my mom when she sing
This woman is out of this planet. She has always been so underrated. ;( But she is probably one of the best vocalist alive.
this never gets old
My favorite moment is when it seems like the spirit took over and she did two circles then on the circle she went and bowed to the organist. Then she went off stage.
All while holding a Eb5 then transferring it to a D6.
My second favorite part is a tie. When the spirit took over the first time and she started dancing. Then when she started scatting that was amazing.
Yeah, she held that Eb5 forever too!
