[@eleanorclark225]

Yes

[@bowiegerl]

I truly miss the gospel music of the late 70’s and all through the 80’s and early 90’s. The Hawkins Singers and Love Center Choir were the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! R.I.H. Walter and Edwin Hawkins. You are missed.

[@mosestyson2705]

[@Untilhecomes85]

Right

[@portiawhetstone4325]

Beautiful recording thank you so much....I love Brenda Roy is there any way

[@fortunate1forever670]

I can’t even begin to understand the thinking of the people who would give this a thumbs down...is it because this is pure gospel and not R & B/hip hop sounding music labeled as gospel?

[@wandasloan4099]

Maybe if u listen to the words more than judge the music u could get something out of! It's no different than Mr. Thomas Dorsey

[@fortunate1forever670]

@@wandasloan4099 , you can barely understand the words because of the music and the style of so called singing. I stand by what I said. This so called gospel music is pathetic. It’s sounds just like what you would expect at the club. God and Christ are not the focus.

[@wandasloan4099]

God is the Father, God is the Son and God is the Holy Ghost for one. Two that's one person's opinion not really based on facts. And three I said what I said as well! More power to you.

[@fortunate1forever670]

We’re all entitled to an opinion...you don’t have to like it or agree. Quite frankly I don’t care if you do. I have the freedom to express my opinion and will continue.

[@GREATTECH1]

This is NOT CLUB MUSIC. You're entitled to your opinion and you've said it. Others think otherwise.... All you have to do is change your selection. The rest of us will go back and remember this great music...to criticize the music and the people who like it is pointless. We shall not be moved...we shall not be changed!!! You don't know my testimony...you don't know my story. Go in peace.

[@perryIII]

Yes yes yes! I noticed that too. You see how she smoothly entered when it was her time? She had a lot of vocal controll...tgen once the mood of the song changed towards the vamp she rocked and worked until those people came on stage to stop everything. Why is people so concerned with time that you quench the Holy Spirit when it is working and moving?

[@lisaclark2883]

Yes!!! Lynette is an anointed singing machine.
