That's how gospel was sang back then, it was serious business she was feeling the meaning of the song deep in soul. She was trying to translate that meaning to the people as to why it was a happy day or will be a happy day, not just rockin to the beat and artificially smiling for entertaining purpose like they do now. No sexy outfits no glitter no bling bling to distract you from the meaning of the powerful words. Understand the words you'll believe and feel more sentimental about the song.
To die in peace is to become one with the Lord.
Dorothy Combs Morrison is absolutely superb. And so pretty too. Loved the song back then and still today.
Thank you, I was asking for her name 😊
agree 1005
mistake sorry--agree 100%
I'm Muslim and I love this song. May Allah bless all of us. Amen.
God bless you brother- we kneel and bow to the one and only Mighty One
@@artfountain2095 thanks bro.
Sad to believe she never earned any $ from all this song made
Rise in paradise Edwin. Oh! Happy day! This is the timeless inspiration from heaven and even a billion $ isn't enough for. Rest in paradise Bro Edwin.
god bless everyone, no exceptions
I'm still an atheist but this kind of gospel.....this is soul
the thief on the cross said, What must I do to be saved, and Jesus who was with the thief up on that cross said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved
God bless you my friend.
Jesus washed my sins away. And he walked among us as a man.
I saw them in the Berlin Philharmonic, 1969. Awesome acoustics and they got 1/2 hour standing ovation. I'll never forget that day.
RIP Edwin Hawkins. That woman sang that.
I read he never paid her and replaced her with a family member
Always puts a smile on my face
I still reflect upon the 1960's and this uplifting song that all of the members of my Family and especially my Mother used to raise our arms and hands up towards the heavens and sing this song. Later in the early 1970's while over in Southeast Asia serving our Nation, my Mother sent it to me on cassette and I listened to it on my small compact cassette player and would feel the spirit and think of my Mother during my year long tour. God Bless you Mama. Roberto Antonio Echarren AKA: R.A.Sorensen
Much respect for you and your service.
I was 14 when this song came out,I would listen 🎶 to it singing and washing dishes. One of my favorite songs brings back memories. Be blessed 🙌🙏my brothers and sisters 🙏💯❤💙💕🙌
I remember it coming on the radio too. I was in a car and it was not a Christian Channel. My Moma was like yours. Praise and worship. .l was away from home and l missed my church . This song brought so much joy and peace to my soul. I still sing it today. Day by day from God Spell came out in the early seventies on radio. The sixties and early seventies seem so far away compared to todays gospel music. I told my son. When l die to play Oh happy Day and crank it up😁 Thank you for your service. I love Edwin singing it. He also has one on youtube with his church choir. Talking about bringing the house down .Oh Happy Day
@@elizabethrose8510 I remember in the 60's also this song coming on the rock radio station. I wasnt even close to being a Christian. I absolutely love this song.
Thank God for Jesus how he changed my life it gets sweeter as the days go by
Apostel! By what authority? Acts 1:21-22 states that for a man to be an apostle, he had to have been a member of the band of disciples from the beginning, and to have been an eyewitness of Christ's resurrection. An apostle is a "messenger" or "one who is sent" while a disciple is a "student" or "learner." Apostles were primarily people who had met and followed Jesus during his life and were called by him to spread the gospel. Disciples were simply any of Jesus' followers who devoted themselves to learning from him.
WOW!!! I thought Aretha was a great singer but this gal has the pipes to more than match. She is absolutely amazing.
She's not a gal. She is a young woman.
Mr. Tbiollo - When you wake up from that dream, slap yourself for even thinking that foolishness. There is only one Aretha, the "Queen", all others are pretenders to the throne. Ms. Morrison, is average, at best. Go into any Missionary Baptist Church on any given Sunday and you'll find her equal and better.
I use to hear this on the rock radio stations back in the late 60's, and I always thought it was a catchy little tune, never thought much about it, but now after getting the Holy Ghost, I think a LOT about it, thank you Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was 18 when I first heard this song. I stood on a hill on a summer night and asked God if Jesus was the way. Then I got back into my car and turned on the radio. Guess what came on" None other than Oh Happy Day. Well I got thoroughly saved and remain so !
Philip Jerome- What a beautiful answer to your prayer. The Lord is so good! God bless you and your precious family!
Trust and believe in God for he cares for you and loves you. Remember to repent of your sins daily and even get closer to God as God is coming soon and we don’t know the day or hour so be prepared . Be blessed. Matthew 24:36-46
No one comes to the Father except through Me. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. Except a man be born again can he see the kingdom of the LORD (YHWH).
I am a Sikh-American. We believe all the great religions are rivers coming from and leading back to the same divine reality. Music is central to our Sikh worship and it is clear that these wonderful singers and musicians are God-inspired! This is great!
O Happy Day
Out of Love 💘💔
Good God
Wash Her Sins Away
When Jesus Walk
I really enjoy this song ,especelly the part When i get to heaven,Oh happy day !
It was so popular back then in 1969 & 1970. Gospel music was popular back then because they believed it.
she starts out so afraid and I love the moment when she feels the spirit and comes to life!
B you know
B you
Yes going through a lot
2 Cor 3:17
She had no fear! Neither should you.
The musicians were great, but that bongo player was just glorious 😎
My middle school band teacher Harley White played bass on this number.
Brother, I totally agree with you. He rocked it.
Yes!!!
It's actually on the original recording but not directly mic'd.
You can see to bongo plater here!

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah these amazing gospel singers of 1960’s, 1970’s absolutely anointed & blessed with Praise & Worship. Still rejoicing even more in 2021 during the pestilence pandemic & rumors of wars. God is Awesome Hallelujah Golden Shoes streets paved with God not made by man’s hands. Shout - All Glory goes to God 👑
Incredible! Beautiful recording.
This was a truly golden era of music--this was on the Top 40 charts in the U.S. along with the Beatles and Frank Sinatra!
Shirley Miller sounds like Moses coming down from Mt Sinai with the two tablets on his hands!!!!!
what !
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🌅Full-throated & 🌄Full-hearted. 🎶She sang that song🎵Such vibrato.!❗️
Must get to Cali to meet the Great Mother Shirley Miller at her Church post Covid.....!!!!! Legend!
In 1969 I was a fifth grader when I heard this song!!!!
My soul was blessed back then and I am blessed even now.....
+Zernard Lesesne Yes I was in fifth grade that fall. I did not care about the lyrics but this was one of the songs I liked. A.M. radio. It was good mixed in with Woodstock songs...
+Zernard Lesesne I was in Junior High School. We sang it a lot. Our Youth Choir at my church also sang it for a TV Audition and we did win a spot on the televised Cerebral Palsy telethon. I was a part of the choir... I still enjoy singing it 40plus years later
@Bill Martin - And it sure sounds better here than it ever did on tinny AM radio, that's for damn sure!
we always thought it was a man singing that song.. ☺
I know what you mean....Still send good chills through me when I hear it..
...she is beautiful....
You wouldn't believe all the worldly. Places this was so popular, night clubs ect. Now as a Christian I Fully respect an love this song I repost. It on F.B. repeal I love it dearly
This was in the day that having soul was more than classy!
Sanctified singers we are witnessing. You will be missed
I love this song!
It's so nice to see some footage of the Edwin HawkinsSingers. I've been to three concerts of them. And yes I saw Dorothy Morrison performing. She was the best.
Too true , that's what made the so g so unique her rendition of it..er with the anointing ....I think that helps some how !!
pretty sure she's still singing - in a senior living home
That's because she wasn't performing. She was ministering.
Dorothy Morrison! My goodness, what a voice! Unique in how low-pitched it is, too -- it's essentially a male tenor's voice. But if a man and woman sing exactly the same notes in pitch and audio frequency, the man is called a tenor and the woman...isn't. When a woman sings in a male tenor's range, she has a "contralto" voice. If she sings even lower, at the bottom of a tenor's range, she has a "contralto profundo" voice. But God forbid, not a tenor voice. Go figure. 🙄.
And that bass player lays it DOWN!!
People tried to sing it in every way, but no one has ever managed to equal the original interpreters.
This real good spirit 🙌 music we love 💘 this song . We song this everyday at home an church. Thank you for sharing the 💘 love. We need this like right now in this world. We need to shout out the glory 🙏 🙌 👏 ✨
This is the song.
All praise to God
The birthplace of Soul music. How music has evolved and morphed into various forms over time is fascinating. This was certainly a golden period. Thank you Black America for creating what became known as Northern Soul. I, for one,will always be thankful.
Detroit Michigan loves the soul of Gospel. 👏
God Bless her, the lead singer, beautiful lady, filled with the spirit, looks like she cud be Jimi Hendrix's sister, wonderful video, God Bless
...love the way Edwin handles that piano.
Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour Amen Amen ☺☺☺☺Oh Happy Day ☺☺☺
The greatest gospel song..
ohhhh lord I thank you for my life 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love this hymn of promise and truth ! His coming is imminent brothers and sisters and what manner of believers should we be ? I am so thankful for the testimony He has given me and His sacrifice on Calvary in that God so loved us that He gave His only Begotten to die for me and you that we will be saved. Amazing Grace that saved a wretch like me . When I walk into His presence , can you really imagine ?Oh Happy Day!
Amen Brother
AMEN!!!
Any one being blessed by this song January 2021?
Thanks for this beautiful song. What a great voice. Inspired by the truth of the Spirit
Noticed how the choir dressed and presented themselves . It was about the song ministering to the congregants, no distractions.
May The Life & Legacy of the Man known as "The Father of Urban Contemporary Gospel!" Forever Be Remembered! Your Song, "Oh Happy Day!" paved the way for today's Urban Gospel Artists such as Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary and many others. YOU HAVE TRULY EARNED YOUR CROWN! Rest In Paradise Brother Edwin Hawkins! ❤️🙏
most folks of the Sanctified church did not smile when singing, it was about serving the Lord, ...They (we) are blessed to be a blessings, it's not about me, but the Lord
There's nothing wrong with smiling when you're singing it doesn't mean that you're not singing for the Lord. You folks need to get rid of those self-righteous hangups
loved this song from chiildhood on...i'm an atheist....but these singers make me want to believe...
❤
i have loved this song since the 1960's!
This song feels my soul with so much joy.
Love this gospel music...❤❤❤❤
Powerlfull voice ,lovely !
Song of the Age! No doubt. Brought choir to the forefront. Such a resounding message.
coachnsuccess ...yes...top 40.
I really liked how Evangelist Shirley Miller did lead vocal - she was great.
Oh happy day (oh happy day)
Oh happy day (oh happy day)
When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed)
When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed)
When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed)
He washed my sins away (oh happy day)
Oh happy day (oh happy day)
He taught me how to watch, fight and pray, fight and pray
And live rejoicing every, everyday
Oh happy day
He taught me how
Oh happy day (oh happy day)
Oh happy day (oh happy day)
Oh happy day (oh happy day)
It was good to know that even with the best wishes given to Dorothy Morrison when she left The Edwin Hawkins Singers to pursue a solo career that God had a ram in the bush namely Edwin’s cousin Shirley Miller who took the lead vocals on his world renowned song O HAPPY DAY even HIGHER as seen here. Blessings to my Greatest Inspiration in Contemporary Gospel Music in His Memory that lives on...Dr. Edwin Hawkins ❤️🎼🎶🎵🎹❤️
There's NOTHING that can match this, NOTHING as PHENOMENAL. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖❣❣❣💖💖❣
My mother taught me this song when I was 6 yes old from then I turned all my gospel hyms with a touch of jazz this song was the ground breaking change in gospel this where my piano playing began love this song didn't know what they where singing about but now I do I got it o happy happy day😎
Awesome! This song played on the radio in the top 10. Then this group came to my high school some 40 years ago. I liked the song but never truely heard the words until 10+ years later the veil was removed from my eyes. Now I can truely say, OH happy Day!!!
Awesome, I have the same testimony!!!
Me too. I loved the song as a teenager and never understood what it meant. When I was baptized in water and received the Holy Ghost at age 25, I understood. And I love it more since I know what it means. I am looking forward to a very happy day when I get to go to heaven and be with Jesus and all his family
classic .. stood the test of time
Can nobody pull it like Shirley Miller!
I'm not religious a nam vet 64 years , but this is special beautiful , thank you I love it god bless.
There Is A special Song that she sing*
The Words of O Happy Day has A powerful message! I Listen , I Clap 👏
My Hands. I praise Jesus. When He
Had Walked.
I can remember the 1st time I heard this song - like it was yesterday. I was 7 years old. I went to the Laundry Mat with my mom because our washing machine went nuts and flooded our basement that day. My dad wasn't home from work yet, so I helped her wring out what we could and took them to re-wash and dry them. I got a transistor radio for Christmas that year, and took it along to amuse myself. Once we got the clothes in the washers, I went out back into the parking lot. leaned back on the trunk of our car (a 1968 'deuce and a quarter!!!) and switched on my radio. I grew up in church and was very accustomed to good gospel singing, but when I heard "Oh Happy Day" that day, it was like a revelation. I've commented through the years about this, and some get it, some don't. But that's ok. It's clear I'm not the only one who did. Thank you, Edwin. I'll forever be in your debt.
Muzak Muzak I get it, too
I love this song! She is a woman of God. Hallelujah! Amen!
Edwin Hawkins Singers - Oh Happy Day (1969)
(los Edwin Hawkins Singers) son especialmente conocidos por su arreglo de un himno cristiano llamado Oh Happy Day (1968-69), el cuál se incluyó en la lista Billboard de 1969 y una de las mejores canciones del siglo XX.
I am the way, the truth and the light. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
There is a soft veil over gospel music today with the passing of Edwin Hawkins (August 19, 1943-January 15, 2018). His career spanned more than 6 decades and he was one of the last male gospel luminaries that seamlessly linked the best of gospel's rich recent history with its best present offerings. His well acknowledged "Oh Happy Day" to the vast public domain of iconic gospel songs has been song by choirs the world over and his Music and Arts Seminar series gave public attention to some of the best singers, writers, producers and directors that the world has ever seen. His collaborations with established artists are also well documented. An exceptional musician, choir director and spokesman for black gospel music, Edwin earned his title of Father of CONTEMPORARY Gospel for his work to refine gospel music and help it to tastefully grow beyond traditional gospel circles and churches. God's exceptional irony should not go unnoticed this day. On an occasion given to the leadership of an articulate pastor whose reminder of church leadership in bringing social change in Dr. Martin Luther King on King Day, it is worth noting Edwin’s music and yes that of his family -- Walter, Lynette, Daniel, Carol, Feddie, Gloria, cousin Shirley Miller and sister in law Tramaine --must be credited with delivering a little social change as well. I have no doubt that those who know of his music's feel a great deal of appreciation to the faith basic sounds that have impacted so many over the years!
I've been an atheist since a kid but always enjoyed black gospel music. Don't ask why. I was a kid when this song came out. Had a bad day and was grouchy and crying. One of my sisters was teasing me "Oh happy day!"
+Bill Martin its called SOUL lol...bless.
+Bill Martin Old King Saul who was envious, jealous, insecure, power hungry, miserable, and cantankerous was also soothed by David's music.
I've never believed in God but then I've never killed a man in Reno just to watch him die either! Great music is always great whether you can personally relate to the lyrics or not. It still sounds as joyful :)
+Bill Martin There's no such thing as an atheist you had to first consider the possibility of a more powerful being which of course makes you an agnostic. Your version of God is probably a wizened old man with white hair holding a scepter up in the heavens sittin' on a cloud, that's a kindergarten concept. I think more in terms of quantum physics this great spiritual light with great energy that can't be contained nor explained for it's omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient but so much more.......
You have to know that you and I are sinners and we are under the wrath of God because of our sin. Sin means to miss the mark. But the mark that we miss is that of the falling short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) If you have have ever called someone a fool you are guilty of hell. (Matthew 5:22) If you have ever looked at a woman with lust you have already committed adultery in your heart. (Matthew 5:28) If you have ever stolen so much as pencil you are guilty of hell.(Exodus 20:15) You cannot save yourself by doing good deeds. Your deeds are as filthy rags before God. (Isaiah 64:6) You are guilty of Hell because of your sins! But God loved you enough to send His only begotten Son, JesusChrist to live the perfect life you could not live and die for your sins on the cross though He Himself was innocent. (John 3:16) JesusChrist dies for your sins and takes the wrath and judgment of God that you and I deserved and on the third day God raised Him from the dead and now you can be saved by repentance and faith. Repentance means to change your mind. To change your mind about God and that leads to a change of life. Faith is to trust in Jesus for your salvation and in Him alone and not yourself or anything else. Call out to the Lord (JesusChrist) so that you can be saved. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" - Romans 10:13
1 of the greatest songs of all time period!
I'd never realized just how exactly the chords from "My Sweet Lord" came directly from this original arrangement of Oh Happy Day. I think the universal love of this song, powerful choir and lead vocal hides the amazing beauty of the music composition itself and it's arrangement. Listen to those awesome bongos, that moving bass-line, Hammond organ, and piano. If anyone ever deserved multiple Grammys, here you have it.
quicksite Actually George Harrison had to pay the writers of the Chiffon’s classic hit “He’s So Fine” 1/2 of the royalties of his hit song “My Sweet Lord” as he lifted the entire song from their recording! They sued him and won 💰in court...........and now you know! 👌
Oh What an AWESOME BLESSING! I've never seen this rendition before- it truly saturated my soul! Even the White Students in the audience were feeling something- but they felt it because WE lifted THEM!!!!
"even the white students" you
racist piece of crap. How dare you.
Excuse me? Who's the racist here? This was a spiritually uplifting moment for me. Begone!
Mark Fabio hes not being racist he is just say that is how they were and that religion can bring the racist people in touch with the black
I m so glad to find this. I ve loved this since I was a child. Yes, sadly that is a racist comment. If I said "its nice that even black people were moved by this' you might get how that comment comes across. Stop ruining a beautiful song with your pettiness. Jesus is for all, black and white.
They are so buetifull and original they are the ones that set the standard for gospel music. Blessed forever.
that is a great song I love it
OMG , I love this woman .
I’ve heard from year 1969 In Newhall California at age 14 Junior high school smashing hits records harder 5 months Best!🏆🏆🏆🙏🙏🙏😌🥰
Oh Lord Jesus, let the anointing that rests upon this lyrical song touch hearts for your glory. Let those that hear be moved in their hearts to bow to your Lordship. Let them admit they have sinned and ask you to forgive them, believing you are the Christ, the son of the Living God. Wash them clean Lord, blessing them with happiness through the the born again experience (John 3:3).
Family road trips escorted by the Hawkin Singers...Great, loving memories. Giving thanks!
I remember Oh Happy Day from the past & it brings it right to the future with Jesus washing my sins away. Sherry Louise Linville
Everyone pass this song to everyone you know , Oh Happy Days !! Stir your soul!!

Shirley Miller
@@rolandoaponte214 That's none other than Dorothy Morrison Singing out front!!
Dorothy Morrison.
Dorothy Morrison sang on the studio version, not this one
@@energyfromyourwing
Yes! This has been uploaded with the studio recording.
When that Tambourine kicked in WOW!!
as our time grows shorter I,ll always give it up for being a witness of one of the greatest decades the 1960's
RIP Mr. Hawkins--thank you for such a wonderful joyous song--one of my all time favorites. And thanks to
@Thejazzsingers Jazz in Holland for the amazing post.
this takes me back to the early 70's... when I had my born again experience... Thankyou for posting this...This song puts tears on my heart and in my eyes...I was 19 and am 63 now and have never regretted a day of knowing Jesus... What a journey -
noticed how those singers represented the Sanctified look . today's singers can take a lesson with there attire..
Brings tears of joy every time.❤️
Me as well- what a day when he walked, and His Spirit now with us fully!
This is traditional Black Music in America...remember?
Yes!
hey walk away renee this is gospel and it's for all
Lay down. Like you know whats up
Well, yes and no. A very interesting story. The original Hymn ("O Happy Day, That Fixed My Choice") was written by Phillip Doddridge, D.D., in England and published in 1755, 4 years after his death, but the melody was later revised by E. F. Rimbault, and both of these guys were "old white men". BUT, the version you and I know and love is "arranged", performed, and produced by Mr. Edward Hawkins. The lead singer, Dorothy Combs Morrison, would later add a more "contemporary" sound. I would say it is more of a "joint venture", albeit spread over several centuries, but yes, it is performed in the "traditional Black Music in America" that we know, but it's not "Cum by Yah" or "Swing Low Sweet Chariot".
The best version I heard to this day simply marvelous sang sister sang
Agree ..this women so good ..the whole group.
So wonderful ❤
Fantastic! Tears are streaming when I hear/see this. About 25 years ago I attended a Gospel Academy Awards at the Paramount theater in Oakland, CA. I was sitting one row behind Edwin Hawkins and family. Many gospel choirs sang that evening. All were very moving. Oh, Happy Day was performed, of course. I also remember the song hitting the charts, when I was a teen.
OH ☺☺Thank You Jesus Christ Amen Praise God Thank You God ☺☺!!!!!!! Amen ☺☺He is a Good Good God ☺☺!!!!!!!!!!
I like this singer better then the other. She's full of soul. Beautiful voice.
Oh Happy Day! One of my all-time favorite songs, I remember as a little girl. I am so glad to hear this again. Thank you. Hallelujah.
Absolutely Wonderful !
Ain't that the truth! This song has been making my soul sore since I first heard it in 1969!!!
This song is so inspiring.
What a beautiful song. Praise God.
O happy day Harriet Tubman and the cause of Freedom.I was born in one of her Underground Railroad destinations St.Catharines Canada, where her Church is still going strong.
Yessss lord Happy Day glory to God Amen
