There will never be another vocalist like Edwin Hawkins. NEVER.

[@BGage11]

Edwin Hawkins will… FOREVER be “missed, but now, he’s singing with his “heavenly choir of angels.” 🙏🏽🙌🏽

[@voidfilan5055]

Have not heard this song in years but started tearing up very quickly. After seeing today’s news JESUS must have brought me to this songwriter. GOD bless all the Hawkins👍‼️

Childhood Flash Backs!

[@tttonykp]

There is a soft veil over gospel music today with the passing of Edwin Hawkins. 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!

Sister Scroggins, may God continue to bless you. You are truly an anointed woman of God. I may not know you, but I recognize that anointing.

[@lukeBj1]

This song brought me to tears as my heart recalled how Jesus Christ has always been with me in all of my troubles and trials, even now in my hardest one yet his spirit has overshadowed me and given me comfort and peace.

[@msnat61]

Tears and more tears...can relate to God Being RIGHT HERE when Mom and Dad no longer is here...beautiful testimony and song! Blessings! 🙏🏽P.S. Also in Loving Remembrance of Dr. Edwin Hawkins of whom was called to Glory one year ago yesterday. 💙

I had forgotten this song existed. Brings back good memories.

Such a BEAUTIFUL song and voice. I start tearing up listening to it.

[@anthonyyoung6573]

This song has spoken to my spirit when I 1st heard it over 30 years ago as it still does today !!

[@NoahHam40]

Heartwarming song. The best lyrics comes from a passionate life experience - as Brother Edwin explains in the interview. It's comforting to see brother Walter actually performing on keyboards. This gifted family is sorely missed.
