I want to thank everyone who liked and commented on this video. I was fortunate to sit in the first row with my children. It was so emotional and special; I was in tears a lot. I am grateful for the opportunity to share this special moment. Happy New Year and best wishes of world peace, health, happiness, and beautiful music to you all.

[@elizabethjoseph9210]

Honestly, this has become my favourite video. Thanks a bunch for sharing this. It shows the beauty of faith, family and love. A true gift from God. And I loved listening to Elder Goldwire for quite some time and when I found out that he was Samara's Grandfather, it blew me away! I watch this video all the time and I always smile from ear to ear! God bless you and thanks again.🙏🙏🙏

Beyond blessed do I feel being a fan of SamaraJoy before her so well deserved awards and global recognition. Seeing her perform in person with her family only validates what a beautiful and talented family of which she is a part. What a remarkable gem is the one and only SamaraJoy. May she continue to shine bright along with her family receiving blessings upon blessings upon blessings.

[@deborahkirkpatrick5149]

This is nothing but God's work. The Lord has truly blessed this talented family. 🙏🏾

[@nataliebrownbrown3992]

I love that Samara Joy has been raised to have great respect for her elders and her ancestors. That respect is definitely reflected in everything she sings. That is why G-d has made this young lady successful!👍❤️🎤🎶

[@jfmck81]

I was there for this concert. It lives rent free in my head. How are these folks so talented across generations?! And Elder is TOOO smooth! Ice cold.

The anointing of the Lord, and much prayer 🙏🙏🙏

Other than her dad and granddad, who were the people on stage with Samara Joy?

[@melliemel32]

It’s ALL JESUS!

This had me crying miss my dad they way he sang and played that piano

[@themusicwriter1]

As much as I love Samara and all that she brings, I love how she sat back and honored her grandfather. They are all amazing. I requested and received both of her vinyls for Christmas. I look forward too seeing her perform live.

[@milkshake1006]

Oh wow where did you find her vinyl, my son would love to have it?

[@themusicwriter1]

@Collise Dyson Amazon has them, I believe if not, go to her official website, and there should be a link to purchase.

This just makes me emotional. You can hear the love on that stage, and feel the lords presence.

[@carolfraz588]

She is a true reflection of her family.

[@loreenpaige2182]

I just love my Mclendon family. GOD IS still Blessing you! We grew up in the same church under my uncle's tutelage; Pastor TJ Martin. Bethel Holy Temple was Blessed with many gifts, but one of our rarest treasures was The McClendon Family. They served GOD without the pretense many artist possess today. When my mother died, they 'sang' at her homegoing service and provided a very bright spot to a very horrific experience. I still remember their melodic tones till this day. They come across through the grands incredible voices😂! I miss Aunt Ruth, Kenny & Beverly. Rest on Tom and Carl❤❤❤

[@brendacuffee9884]

Samara Joy’s grandfather’s voice is amazing and the family sings so beautifully together!

[@SinginViki]

Well it's no surprise to me that Samara comes from such a talented and gifted family! And to see Elder Goldwire McClendon on stage was truly a thrill! May God continue to bless the beautiful young woman and her entire family of song!!!

[@lesliemelton1100]

What a wonderful treat it was to hear this talented family sing so sweetly! And the elder statesman with his beautiful runs, that was the icing on the cake! They're all so talented, congratulations to Samara Joy on her Grammy win!!!

One Inez McClendon(CIP) and the WSHS Chorus introduced me to this song. This was a favorite of ours, I think. This and Carol of the Bells. This is such a warm and beautiful moment. There's a portrait here too if any able are willing to capture a glimpse. When something is spoken of as "food for the soul" this is a sure example.
