Cathedral Quartet - Oh What A Savior

[@momdclark4]

ERNIE IS AWESOME ...I HAVE LOVED THIS SONG EVERY TIME HE HAS SUNG IT BUT I FIND THIS IS THE BEST....ITS PURE SINGING , NO SHOWMANSHIP ...HE JUST SINGS HIS HEART OUT ...I KNOW HE MUST PLEASE HIS AUDIENCE AND ENTERTAIN ...I MUST ALSO SAY THAT THE TRIBUTE TO THE CATHEDRALS BT ERNIE AND SIGNATURE SOUND IS SOME OF THE BEST SINGING I'VE EVER HEARD ...THEY ARE AWESOME...

[@musicmanhunter1]

Ernie's Best listen to it a 100 times still is just amazing

[@HisDotr2]

WOW! It's just wonderful to see & hear Ernie sing what has become his signature song so soon after joining The Cathedrals.

[@Cashcrop54]

The Cathedrals were just a special quartet that sang from their hearts and sought His Glory and not their own. Glenn or George could have each gone solo and been successful but I so respect them for staying together. They also had a way of utilizing the most of each member for the good of the quartet and the member. I love both Glenn and George, Danny Funderburk, Bobby Clark, Mark Trammel, and Ernie Haase. I so wish I could have seen them live but I can't wait to see them in the biggest and best Homecoming of them all! God, thru His Love gave us this special gift of music that when done from the Spirit is so beautiful and powerful! Praise God!

[@danhuff8446]

Danny gave a cross to my Dad who passed away last year. I wear that cross every day. His voice gives me chills.

[@janicesimmons6764]

It does me also.

[@crazycooper1024]

Awe man, yeah, I missed Danny being apart of the Cathedrals back in the day but Ernie brought a different kinda of light to the Cathedrals sound! Lol

[@keithmuncy7559]

One of the altime greatest hymns ever sung by arguably the greatest quartet to ever perform. I love this group so much. I grew up listening to them at a young age and when they retired it broke my heart. Thank you God for the legacy of this legendary group that inspire singers like me til this day

[@buckeyebaptist43719]

Cathedrals were the best group and always will be the best group.

[@danielfuller4129]

I completely agree with that. I had a period in the mid 90’s where there were about all I listened to. Wore those tapes out

[@jeanhuggs4475]

love this group and this song. where would we be if he had not given his lifes blood for us.

[@crazycooper1024]

Very talented Ernie Haaaae!! I think he sounds even better nowadays too!!!!

[@kd5hms63]

He saved a lost wretched sinner like me!!Oh ! What a Saviour !!

[@juanitamosley8463]

Gospel music is the best

[@84slaughter]

I'm Big Into NWOBHM, 50's, 60's, 70;s, 80's, And Some 90's But Yes, Gospel Is Right Up There As Well!

[@ritencraft]

I have loved this song for years!! and not just this song, but this particular rendition of it, by Ernie and the Cathedrals... makes my heart POUR OUT in thankfulness to our Lord Jesus Christ... Saviour of the world. Thank you, volscot :) God bless you so much!!

[@davidfreeman6450]

Chills... Oh Praise the Lord!!!

[@Marineman002]

i've known mark since i was little. great guy -- he's an excellent vocalist and his heart is really into what he does. not my style of music, but whenever he's around touring, i do go see him.

[@zerf1011]

This was when Ernie knew how to comb his hair! Great Song Great Savior!! Thank you Lord... for even me and all of you

[@Nativeexpress]

Ernie gives me goose bumps when he sings. He has a very powerful voice. Love this video.

[@chowman007]

I agree!. Music is a gift given by God that when used for His Glory it will reach man were no words can.

[@Shanelee33]

Three of these gospel legends have passed on. What a loss. They are greatly missed.

[@TheConservativesrock]

I still remember the day I put my trust fully in Jesus and asked him to save me. My life was changed. I was only nine and went to church, but I was on my wy to Hell and a meaningless life. But Jesus gave me heaven and a meaning to life although i don't deserve. i will forever love him. Thank you God for what you did for me and all who accept your gift.

[@johnhaan986]

I love that beautiful, meaningful song. Ernie does it right!

[@rockyselanders6703]

ALL I CAN SAY IS OH WHAT A SAVIOR !!!!!! HE SAVED A POOR LOST SOUL LIKE ME !!!! ERNIE DOES A WONDER JOB ON THIS SONG !!!! THE ENDING IS GREAT !!!!

[@shirleyevans6775]

one of the truly great gospels groups

[@janicesimmons6764]

Beautiful.. Oh how I love the Cathedrals. I think a little bit of Heaven comes down when I hear them sing!!

[@deafgagirl]

He is awesome.. What a voice GOD gave him!

[@westizbest2017]

Rosie Roselle would thoroughly enjoy this performance just as spectacular as his own!!!!!never heard Ernie do it that outstanding since,and that's okay cause GOD wants to hear us all,as the last verse,the chorus,in that GREAT CITY,PRAISE JESUS FOREVER AND EVER

[@brendaadams4796]

Wes Sallee I agree with you about Ernie. This is the first time I heard this version, but before this I still love him and signature sound singing this same song at the concert in Africa. I have listened to it so many times, and his singing is so powerful that I can close my eyes and picture myself sitting right there on the front row. If you read this then listen to him in Africa and let me know what you think. And remember that God Loves us all and God Bless You and Yours.

[@donaldbuffaloe2816]

I sure wish I could see them one more time...there within the spirit of the Lord with my daughter...and I will see Jesus and them

[@charlesstutts4578]

What a blessing and encouragement this song is!

[@jerrimenges8308]

This is my favorite rendition of Oh What a Savior. I love all the performances I've seen by Ernie, but here it is pure singing and nothing more. I understand performance and presentation and audience appeal and all of that, but I love the pure singing, where the performer doesn't get in the way of the song. Just like an author can get in the way of a story, a singer can get in the way of a song. In this version, I really see the Savior. In the other versions, I see a little more of Ernie.

[@CastleMr40]

Jerri Menges You are so right. There is another KZbin, made many years later, in which Ernie wears a different-colored suit (to stand out) and get s standing ovation. I would be mortified to get a standing-O for something I did for the glory of God!

[@karenbaldwin1849]

I love the Cathedrals!I could listen to Ernie sing all the time he's great!

[@thiskiwigal]

Gives me goosebumps. You can't beat a good 4part harmony.

[@Shadrackmeshack]

The title sums it all - Oh What A Savior - videos like this keep reminding us to keep focused on the things that are above as the things below are temporal

[@lindaknighten504]

Wheh! Makes the hair raise on the back of my neck. What a blessing.

[@estherbayles1002]

Praise God.Ernie Haase, I have been listening to you for years...What an amazing gift of song,. Surly you are favored by God...Thank you

[@MsShanbam]

Praise God, I needed to hear this...

[@Christianwoman2]

I love this song! If you listen with head phones it is amazing

[@jadsonarede]

maravilhosa é esta exibição do cathedrals! Que Deus seja glorificado por canções como esta!

[@neta1963]

This song has been running thru my head lately, love the old hymns.Reminds of me the small country Church that I grew up going to.

[@Ambi2448]

I love this song!Ernie you look scared in that Video!But you sound GREAT!!Keep up the good work!Thank God you followed your dream! You Rock!Littlebit12 from the EH&SS Message Board!

[@bgroovy2]

The Mighty Cats! What a blessing. Thanks for posting!

[@megacat2012]

Nobody does it like the Cathedrals and Ernie Haase. Oh what a Savior.

[@evangelistpennybarber1405]

My favorite is listening to Danny Thunderbird singing, "He Touched Me." I would love to meet him one day.

[@nickroberts6984]

Danny Funderburk

[@familyb5800]

😂

[@andreimarcelino1452]

oh, what a savior! oh, what a sacrifice! He's heart was broken every time if you and me gave to he a "no".

[@mikeso3691]

Ernie makes the vocals so powerful

[@merlinapendatun6918]

I love this wonderful Gospel Song.🙏🙏🙏💯❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😘😘😘🎶🎤🎶🎤👌

[@Payebo]

Great! Im blessed and touched.

[@caswell1000]

Ernie sings this so sincerely and GeorgeYounce is his father-in-law. Talk about pressure!..Prettiest verson I've heard. The song is very emotional anyway. Gwen Weaver

[@dashiasmiles1447]

I love them best performance of this song.. he gave it all for me..

[@docfatherf2061]

Oh, to be in their presence and listen, just one time. Amen

[@JUANITAEDMONDSON]

I love this song and group

[@rodrickwatson747]

Ernie Haase And Rosie Rozzel Are The Only One Who Sings This Song With Feelings And Spritual Way. Love Them Both

[@nickroberts6984]

Check out Squire Parsons singing it with the Gaither gang ! 😮

[@neilbrank8053]

Rosie - the best without question

[@joeyv47]

And I'll join that chorus in that bright city!!!!

[@mtndrew-xk8ti]

AWESOME, LOVE THESE GUYS.

[@pennybailey6359]

PRAISE JESUS!!!

[@Nyck461]

Great voice. God bless you.

[@herecalico]

I also have him on the Live in Nashville video of the Cat's singing this song. Wonder which one was first?

[@TimAlting]

For sure . With all the love of God

[@volscot]

That is correct. Ernie confirmed it to me after he saw this video.

[@bwanadave76]

Just love this version.

[@dasspiegelbild]

Oh yeah. I saw him 4 days ago and he still has it.

[@johnmabry9796]

Oh he is indeed our Savior.

[@marianhickman3831]

Love this song

[@nctexas1976]

it is saying riven, old english word meaning to wrench open or tear apart

[@sportygirl869]

TOTALLY AWESOME!

[@slowjamcdub]

Beautiful

[@cyborg316]

The best tenor alive!

[@basslaboriel]

Hermoso video, es el primero en que sale Ernie Haase, y en el dvd tributo a The Cathedrals que realiza Signature Sound, cuenta el mismo que no queria salir a cantar, porque estaba muy nervioso, y lo alentaron a salir, porque ahi estaban entre el publico Vestal Goodman, Bill y Gloria Gaither, Jake Hees, al final, el resultado a la vista.

[@ryco62]

I bet if youtube was around when George Younce and the Cathedrals started singing, people would have been (and probably were) saying the same things I'm reading in the comments here about Ernie. Everyone has their preferences in what they want to hear from whoever is singing. I enjoy the 'old' and the 'new' stuff. Haven't you during your life ever felt like trying something 'new'? Is the music bringing glory to God? If yes, then maybe that's what God wants Ernie and SS to sing.

[@patrickmwiti5855]

OH WHAT A SAVIOUR INDEED...I LOVE JESUS

[@selkcebr]

I just love Mark Trammell, but then I just love everyone who past through the Mighty Kingsmen Quartet under the guidance of BIG Jim Hamill. I may be bias, but .......😊

[@nickroberts6984]

My step dad's first cousin was Jim Hammill 🎶 Their mothers were sisters. You sure can see the family resemblance. I never got to meet Jim but I always admired him and still do !

[@enfermeirofabio84]

Aqui do Brasil apresio The catedrals quartet!!! beautefol...

[@antoniocomeau6097]

Amazing classic...rip george and glen

[@FOOFOOKITTY]

@Bcroft39 I guess there's no way we're gonna agree about that note, but if you listen to his later performances of that song, his transitions between lower notes to the high ones are much smoother. He's clearly developed his voice, improved his technique, and become a wonderful presenter of the Gospel thru music.

[@Bcroft39]

@FOOFOOKITTY I have a SSQ CD and I listen to it quite often, but my opinion still stands about Ernie being more show now with the SSQ. My wife actually likes them more than I do. I just think that the Cathedrals were more southern gospel than SSQ. Ernie is a wonderful singer and in my opinion he was the best Tenor singer of all ther tenor singers that the Cathedrals had. Oh What a Savior is his signature song. I just wish he would go back to singing it like he does in this video.

[@rubenespindola656]

Hermoso, celestialmente hermoso!!!!

[@anyanews]

Powerful!

[@glitterskate8]

The bass is not JD Sumner. It is George Younce. How great his deep voice is.

[@highstepperARF]

Yep. Smooooth.

[@kyldy]

Amen. Now Ernie has changed a lot since this recording. In fact he became George's son in law! go see Ernie and SS with this song. I love Danny Funderbuck but you know we love a good quartet . I will say Ernie is no Rosie. for those of us who are that old well will never be a quartet like the Statesmen and the blackwood Brothers. HOWEVER we can move on and enjoy a new generation! Praise God they know the Lord and are not down the road to hell.

[@maricarol85]

Hallelujah!

[@megacat2012]

If that don't get you going , I don't know what will ! Oh what a Savior !

[@ChrisHimmelMusic]

Mark is pretty awesome on this song too!

[@Bcroft39]

WOW!! So much argueing over gospel music. devotionpromotion is a 19yr old young man that wishes Ernie would go back to his older style of singing, He tells that in here and you guys jump all over him. I for one agree with you devotionpromotion!!! I also agree with calvarykidamen that some singers change their style to gain more fans. It becomes more of a show than the praising of our lord to some singers.

[@MrCunell]

to god be the glory

[@FOOFOOKITTY]

@Bcroft39 Fiddle-de-dee! His voice in the SSQ videos is even more wonderful, IMHO ... and frankly, I think he sings with more passion and conviction in those than he does here (when he still really a "baby"!) Anyway, regardless of the "show" SSQ does, they bring the Joy of the Lord to their listeners as well as the Gospel! Hope they keep singing for a long, long time!

[@TheDunga30]

muuiiito bom!!!

[@davidkindoho4225]

O am so glad is my savior

[@Bcroft39]

@FOOFOOKITTY I don't have a degree in vocal performance or anything like that. But you can trust me when I tell you that I know a bellow when I hear one. I've been around southern gospel my entire life and I have heard more bellows than I care to mention..LOL..Ernie's voice is a little stronger today than it was back when this video was made. If the people in the audience thought it was a bellow, Oh What A Savior wouldn't be his signature song today..

[@GIGI-yh2vz]

BEAUTIFUL INDEED AMEN!

[@dcesar48]

Ernie start sind still yonger! nice performance boy!

[@RPB02]

Great Video, Great Song, Fantastic Group. There's no limiations of who and what method God uses. The intent is to evangelize!!! If that is accomplishedm there's no need to critique rbp02

[@elizabethbullard7231]

As he got older and sang o what a Savior it became more than words. U could feel and hear difference. In this 1 is just words. NO connection

[@guibox3]

This would have been circa 1990 when Ernie first joined, before Mark Trammell left. I still say that despite the later Cathedral's versions and the Signature Sound versions, Ernie sang this song the best in his early days.

[@EHSSQfan1]

If I remember right, Ernie had only been in the group for 2 weeks. :)

[@paulaswaninger3386]

Love this song probably 2nd after How Great Thou Art, then others by Bill Gaither.

[@trailcampers]

what do you call those people who sing in the background of a cathedral or a church? like in the movies black women or many ppl who give humming voices in the background swinging and clapping.. i really love those.. if there is any particular word for it, let me know..

[@brandenblackwell9116]

I believe it's the choir. Hope that helps!

[@akivameir4734]

+dinesh bhat They are called background singers.

[@ronniesmith3521]

Its song number 5 on Climbing Higher And Higher CD, which I have

[@joeyv47]

Hopefully.... For sinners like me

[@cheapasanta]

Oh my goodness, is that a Bb by George Younce at the end?!?

[@Bcroft39]

@Fugate171 What I was talking about is that Ernie and the Signature sound are more show than the Cathedrals were. Ernie doesn't sing this song like this anymore. Yes his voice may have changed but if you'll watch him sing this song with the signature sound you'll see he's trying to hard to put on a show rather than just sing this beautiful song in the fashion that he sung it in with the Cathedrals.

[@Fugate171]

@Bcroft39 I will not fall into the trap of this singer versus that one... I simply will point out that with age, even the most seasoned singers voices will change. It is a smart vocalist to realize this and to adapt to it. I will also say I love listening to good gospel music regardless... and I think Ernie Haase is a great artist either way...
