Wow, never seen or heard of him what a man singing from the depths of his soul.
I am possessed, mesmerised, captivated, and lost in his words .

The first time I heard this song I couldn’t move, tears filled my eyes and no matter how many times I hear it the same thing happens. Lord God what an evil world we live in. We need You Lord please.

What a beautiful song. Back when Black folk bared everything on the line without selling out to push poison.

It's sad that we dont have this passion in the music today just look at how this man is singing this song with so much feelings

[sander]

The way he moves while he sings shows he truly means what he sings and gives his absolute best. Top performance!

Written in 1969……and we still ask ourselves the same question in 2024. 🤦🏾‍♂️
