Still listening in 2024. Still beautiful music

[Varvisa]

There's other versions of this song that just seem too upbeat for the context of the song. To me this is the song sung how it should be.

[Aegelis]

Pulse check: If you don't feel anything during this, you might be dead.  That vibrato is so tight.  Lower voice is fraekin' amazing, but all gave me chills.  Thank you, God bless.

This is what you call real singing - you get the beat & the melody - without the music. Pure heavenly

[tosinrichtea]

I'm so much in love with black race. We've been through hell yet resillient. Prodly black

[ramonachestnutt]

This music has brought me through some of the most difficult times in my life. For this, I am truly grateful.

[roxanasolisflores]

May the new generations learn about our history also through music such as with this amazing masterpiece. Blessings ❤

I need this song played at my funeral. It got me through my mom's death 21 years ago this week.

[kaylean]

My dad used to sing this to me and my sister some nights before bed. Still my favorite song, even if it makes me cry.

[redddrc]

my black brothers and sisters their is special power that are in our ancestors songs particularly this one I don't know if you could feel it or not but those that can will know what I'm talking about

[jawan]

Powerful!! Our ancestors that sang that song remembered the Jordan river that they had crossed before going into their promised land. Hallelu-Yah!!❤❤❤🎉🎉

Who are the 135 people who downvoted this!? Have them meet me outside! lol

[janetmayer]

Like a tapestry woven with voices. What a beautiful rendition this is.

[gluschei]

This is my favorite hymn. My child sang it (high soprano) in church, and also plays it beautifully on her trumpet. By the way, we are both "white." Like, conspicuously white. But that never stopped us from singing with the MLK celebration choir. I do celebrate Dr. King's legacy of peace. This song is a beautiful reminder.

[davidefrumento]

Jewish here. We're united as one people.

[upendasana]

They must be one of the most powerful acappella groups to ever have existed.I saw them 20 years ago or so after coming out of a deep depression and it was just the most amazing experience ever.I didn't know about G-d then but I do now.

[PreTheBookofHeiressJacqueline]

Go 'head on and represent our rich history through your highly anointed voices and spirits, my wealthy, nubian siser-queens!  GOD HAS GOT TO BE AT HIS PEAK OF BEING PLEASED.

[SOULarLioness]

I have to revisit his in light of all the uprising that’s happening right

[ingridfong-daley]

I grew up in the scary undergrowth of New Orleans in a very rigid, white/mid-western household, but i was one of two white girls in choir in high school, and music like this absolutely infused itself into my soul. To this very day, many of those traditional southern Spiritual songs can still completely carry me away... which feels ironic considering what an atheist i grew up to be. :) We humans are a fascinating bunch.

My deepest respect and love for these sisters. They know how to use their God's given gifts and honor Him in the process! Love Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon's voice!
