Gospel Singing Jubilee-00

Gospel Singing Jubilee

[@brendagray2725]

I'm a Black woman and we use to listen to this every Sunday morning, please bring this back.

[@kywifie]

I grew up listening to this show too. Totally loved it partially cause my granny loved it so much BUT no one understands what Jubilee music is anymore. It is distinct from southern gospel. I call it toe tappin gospel--with a happy piano.

[@mauricewhaley1322]

Every Sunday morning no cable so that was on

[@1voicenwilderness]

I was just saying the same thing!

[@carolynsteele1465]

How simple life used to be without all of today's distractions. It was easier to raise children to love the Lord. Listening to Gospel music was a constant pleasure. I miss those days!

[@TyChee]

I remember this would come on after the cartoons on Sunday morning. All these decades later I still remember the theme song.

[@SteveandPollyCagle]

Great God Almighty, I cannot express my heart busting watching this again. Bugs Bunny then Jubliee before church!!! To bad today's society doesn't appreciate it.

[@MickeySightings]

We dont see passion in gospel music like this anymore.

[@tww2002]

Brings back childhood memories. Every Sunday morning before church.

[@wagon53417]

You couldn't hardly get me up for school...but on Sunday mornings I'd be in front of the TV with the volume cranked up listening to the Jubilee... these videos sure bring back memories.

[@virgilbutler1516]

I remember them in the early and mid 1960s😊

[@coachb2766]

I remember this as a boy. Watched this Sunday mornings for years. Thanks for keeping this sound alive.

[@glendaroberts5965]

Most all commenting watched this getting ready for church on Sunday morning. Such good memories.

[@terrycynthiaglazier4228]

I use to watch this when I was a little girl, about 5 maybe I’m now 56... good memories.. JUBILEE

[@JChrisTurner1234]

This brings back such wonderful memories of me when I was a little boy. Daddy always cooked breakfast for me, Mother and himself and we watched/listened to Gospel Jubilee. Bitter sweet memories. Precious memories how they linger.

[@schizoozy]

I Loved Gospel Jubilee on Sunday mornings.

[@michaeljohnson1972]

Being of the black race I use to watch this all the time

[@leonsalter9078]

I spent many Sunday mornings listening to the gospel quartets while waiting for Sunday School.

[@slyon68]

Grandpa and I used to watch this while Grandma fixed breakfast for us before Church. Grandpa used to sing the bass part with all of the quartets. Good memories. Thanks for posting. :)

[@MrDasher01]

When I was a little boy, I would get up Sunday morning before my parents, turn on the TV, and watch Gospel Singing Jubilee. I haven't seen it since then. And I am so happy you posted it. Thank you.

[@nettiemarie2556]

Love this!!! Love the G💜💜dmans too!!

[@jacksonknox5029]

I use to hate this show ... I was a kid back then ... No more than 9 or 10 yrs. Old now as a man I sing these same songs with love and humble appreciations... Put it back on the air!

[@Keedeeg]

A part of my Sunday morning rountine as I got ready for Sunday school. Just hearing this song, brings me JOY!!

[@BackAndForthShow]

AWESOME! This show used to air Sunday mornings in Chicago. My grandmother ALWAYS had this on!

[@johnnyphillips3521]

Daddy always had the TV on these shows before we went to church.

[@msenimyer1445]

This is the original Florida Boys that we would go see if they were performing in our area. We would go to their booth and talk with them. I thought they were friends of ours, Dad would always speak often of each one.

[@violetzinke1648]

Very beautiful presentation. I love those uplifting southern gospel songs. Thank you, Bill Gaither for keeping these songs alive. Praise the Lord.

[@sondrasmith2691]

Amen!

[@StarfieldRailway]

Yes! I remember this show from my early childhood! It is so cool to see this again.

[@MrJim624]

No problem.... !! I love these old timey quartets... I was raised on them too

[@JT-om3fx]

Such good memories from my childhood. I'd watch Davey and Goliath and the Godpel Singing Jubilee. Still listen to Good ole Southern Gospel to this day. I,always watched with my grandparents. If these shows are available on DVD please let me know.

[@Rainie3]

Watched this show many Sunday mornings.

[@michelel.egerton6369]

Watching this again, and again loving it!

[@NOMADdaf]

50 now. I loved this on suday morning. It;s like being a kid again.

[@rickeyboy1959]

The Happy Goodman's touch from GOD Himself as HIS gift to them in music, song and voice is so clear and inspiring here in this song.....For all good and perfect gifts come from HIS Hand GOD Himself,,,yours in CHRIST, Downtown Rickey Brown, Jackson, Tennessee

[@glorybree3142]

Every Sunday & was so disappointed when the hour was up. I loved listening to those beautiful voices harmonizing as they praised Our Lord & savior Jesus!!!!

[@bluheavn1]

Woke up many mornings hearing that song over the TV

[@boomerlesterok]

Same with my family we'd watch them just before going to Sunday School!

[@kywifie]

used to watch this every weekend with my granny miss it

[@TonyDobson-Cars]

This brings back memories for me as a kid back in the 70s when Daddy always turned on Gospel Jubilee and we listened as we got ready for church on Sunday morning! Best times of my life. Thank you

[@jdarren1963]

I could've written word for word exactly what you wrote above. Miss these times and The Gospel Singing Jubilee!

[@StarfieldRailway]

Same here. I am so glad I found this on KZbin. It is a 1970s childhood memory of mine. This is the first time I have seen it since then.

[@marycole6844]

Oh wow... I growed up this music...

[@ellisonholley5463]

I remember watching this every Sunday Morning! Wounderful Memories.

[@gingerelledge4829]

It really does make you thankful for a Christian home as a child since I am turning 49 this year

[@notrod]

I loved listening to the Gospel Singing Jubilee , I would rush as fast as I could milking the cows so I could get back to the house to watch the show. If I had too many cows I would miss some of the show and they had to be milked by hand. All this before church and after breakfast.

[@rickyparker4436]

Vesta is WORKING That bouffant!!!!

[@jwallen7]

Oh thank you for posting this program. Mom, Dad and i would sit and watch this program every sunday. that is were i became the biggest fan of the Goodman.

[@robertmixon3333]

I have been watching & listening to the Florida Boys as long as I can remember. They have always presented great gospel music. I am 79 & I still enjoy good country gospel music & listen to every chance I have. Please reply

[@michelel.egerton6369]

I AM SO HAPPY AND EXCITED TO HAVE FOUND THIS!!! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR YEARS!!! I remember when I was little back in the early 1970s we used to have this on the TV while we were getting ready for church on Sunday mornings! Such a happy time in my life with Mommy and Daddy and my siblings! Thank you for posting this!!!

[@swiseman68]

Grandpa used to sing the bass part every Sunday morning...I miss those days.

[@case139]

Brings back some good memories. Whereas in most markets it aired on Sunday morning, the "Jubilee" actually aired on Sunday afternoons at 5 on KTVT (Ch 11) in Dallas back in the early '70s.

[@williambrightman5980]

It was on in Orlando on WESH-TV Channel 2 on Sunday Morning right after the Catholic Television Mass.

[@bigken5032]

Used to listen to these shows on WSFA OUT OF MONTGOMERY ALABAMA.

[@mlneale1959]

I go back to the days of the Blue Ridge, Prophets, and others in the 60's. It was so cool to see the people I knew personally on national T.V. As a kid I once got to ride on the Blue Ridge Quartet's bus. My teenage daughter and I were just looking at all the records I have and have decided it's time to set up the turntable and hook it into the stereo system. This brings back so many memories. Thank you.

[@laurawoods-roller5331]

Every Sunday morning! I loved the show!

[@sm8821]

Thanks for posting this. This is some awesome stuff.

[@ChristinaMarieAngelicque-vc3nx]

WHAT A GREAT TV SHOW TO WATCH RERUNS OF, ESPECIALLY, IF YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE 50 YEARS OLD!

[@andrewzihlmann106]

Bring back good memories of staying at my grandparents farm down in South Georgia waking up watching gospel Jubblie Sunday morning

[@glorybree3142]

That was an every Sunday occurrence for me :) the only life I knew. LOVED IT then & cherish the memories now. :)

[@powwowdoc]

Wow, this brings back memories! Thnaks for posting.

[@loonhaunt]

For me it was "singing time in Dixie" before church. And my feet were off the ground all day.

[@BRIERFOX]

5 or six years old...watching this on early Sunday mornings on a t.v. I had to "pull the knob" to turn on. I have always remembered that scene when The Florida Boys step up on the stage singing "Jubilee....Jubilee....you're invited to this happy jubilee..." I didn't watch the whole show back then....didn't care to. But...that opening has resonated with me for decades. It gave me...and still gives me...that good feeling of "wholesomeness." So very glad this program was a part of so many lives.

[@christosvoskresye]

YOU AND ME BOTH. Only, I thought they were singing, "You're invited to this country, jubilee." It may just have been a mondegreen, but I know they would have approved of what I thought they were saying -- a sort of pious prayer for the nation.

[@TyChee]

I was about the same age as you. When it came on I had to listen to the theme song.

[@sharonpinner1207]

Loved Gospel Jubilee

[@atp1962]

I remember this so well ! Thanks for sharing

[@larrya7360]

Great memories!

[@dannydavis2724]

Present, bible brought, bible read daily, lesson studied, giving, worship attendance...another ritual

[@BlackBart48]

Thanks for posting this. I was in high school when my brother found this program on our old black and white tv. I had listened to the Blackwoods and Statesmen and loved their music. It was a thrill to actually see JD, London and all the rest singing as a choir! Nearly missed church that day.

[@kevinturner8335]

Uplifting Gospel , Noth ing Better God Bless you

[@thomasnorton5086]

I remember watching Jubalee early Sunday morning. Later we went to church service.

[@russell2550]

I was living in Norman, Oklahoma and Gospel Singing Jubilee was on WKY-TV channel 4 (KFOR-TV) I would watch this while getting ready for church

[@laurawoods-roller5331]

Russell Rogers every Sunday!

[@glencoe6305]

This show came on every Sunday Morning in my area,on KSDK- NBC Ch 5. We w'd watch it while getting ready for Church. I was a kid.

[@reliant4]

I can echo Nalora down below. Some of my fondest memories of my Mom include some of the same. It brings back, really, a flood of good feelings to me when I heard that Theme Song and I really enjoyed the videos. What a seemingly nice, genuine person Mr. Beasley seems to be. He should know how many lives he touched by bringing this music into our homes for all those years. I can't thank him enough.

[@inthesurf0766]

Well I remember this show we used to watch it when we got home from grannies. She had fried chicken, cabbage, cornbread, black eyed peas and potatoes. We used to go spit watermelon seeds in the backyard and my grandpa would laugh and slap his knee. He used to sing go tell it on the mountain.

[@redracer3368]

I remember this show when I was a little kid.

[@KrankenSigns]

I watched this program for years and would sing along !

[@WalterLittle1963]

I am not sure when I was first introduced to this music. But my hubbie has it playing on the computer quite often. My grandparents were Southerners, and I remember listening to music there. I suspect that is where I first heard it.

[@janetacrabtree3721]

Loved it and waited for it every Sunday morning.... I listened while getting the children & myself ready for Sunday School or lying on couch or recliner after a surgery; the songs would always help lift me up and help me make it through another trial

[@crambone10]

My mom and dad had this show on every Sunday Morning in the 60s and early 70s

[@birdlover6842]

Nice folk gospel group.

[@aaawhite7676]

My grandfather would watch this program every Sunday morning before church. I have really missed the GSJ and am so glad you posted it. Thanks

[@michaelbiddix6034]

Love this stuff...

[@atp1962]

I really enjoyed Jubilee !! Thanks for sharing !

[@juliew1966]

I always loved the piano player. He wore crazy patterned socks and liked to hike up his pants to show them while he played. He was a real cut up. Especially at gospel sings.

[@canttouchthis6439]

I remember watching this on Sunday morning after that was davey & Goliath

[@Nalora]

Thank you so much for posting these. I remember sitting in my Sunday Best clothes waiting on the rest of my family to go to Church while the Gospel Singing Jubilee was on the televsions. (and afterwards, Davey and Goliath) Thanks very much.

[@sondrasmith2691]

I also watched David and Goliath, like you!

[@roybatty5028]

So much musical talent in these artists. I am sure that they do not get enough credit for their amazing skill & talent.

[@buryinman1]

This is one of the early groups when Jerry Trammel had just taken over as tenor replacing Coy Cook. The rest of the group is Les Beasley, lead; Glen Alred, baritone; Billy Todd, bass; and Derrell Stewart on piano.

[@selvinanatuman]

praise the lord

[@cissyit]

@wlittle Me too! My dad used to watch this every Sunday morning while the rest of us were getting ready for church.

[@cathyparr6827]

How did Bill know about my Granny's house on Sunday morning in NC when I was a kid?

[@yesiownfrodo]

I grew up listening to this on Sunday mornings while getting ready for church. :) I just wish that they would just show the old shows without commentary. Bill and Gloria can be a little ... dull. I'd rather just watch the whole show just like it came on the air. :) I doubt my opinion matters, but it's just true. LOL

[@zybeco]

There is only one word to descibe the Florida Boys in my book CLASS.

[@davidmatthews4217]

I was in my sixties before I understood what Jubilee means. I always wondered what Jubilee means. I didn't want to look or sound dumb by asking anyone what it means. It took listening to Jonathan Cahn for me to know what Jubilee means.

[@inthesurf0766]

well we got down to this after visiting Grandma....hooting and a hollering and jumping around the living room like a bunch of injuns

[@momofbooboo]

@buryinman1 The tenor singer in this group is Tommy Atwood, not Jerry Trammel. I know because he is my father :-)

[@LEE-Rapture]

God Bless

[@mkc19971]

The first song is go tell it on the mountain and the second when morning sweeps the eastern sky

[@WalterLittle1963]

Thanks for posting this Mr. Jim! It brings back such wonderful memories of Sunday mornings when I was little.

[@Defender4all]

I love this, it brings back many memories, but doesn't that bass singer for The Florida Boys look like Ernie Douglas on My Three Sons !!!

[@jacobstanley3495]

Kenny Hinson and all the Hinson Family!

[@noahnewhouse2600]

the fact that Ken Turner comes to my church every once and a while to sing with Valor III

[@Dee-df3yw]

Bring back

[@1farp]

always thought Vestel's hair was halfway to heaven. she made the beehive popular.

[@Eddie_Schantz]

Jim, was the "Jubilee" show filmed at the same location every week? I remember it in the 60's as a teenager. We watched it every Sunday. I believe it came on at 8am in our location.

[@johnyzero2000]

Those hairdos defied gravity!

[@joshuamendelsonn7581]

The Happy Goodman gal Vestal rocked that mile high head of wig . :) I remember this show as a kid in Chicago in the late 60s. Yep, this was on one of our 6 channels in Chicago in the mid to late 60s that had this on on Sundays, LOL.

[@sarahparker9630]

man Les Beasley could sing

[@timb6853]

who sang the Jubilee song as the groups were introduced? I like that one.

[@keithmuncy6422]

The Florida boys started the song then the rest of the singers joined in as needed

[@Eddie_Schantz]

This is a great video. Can someone tell me name of the bass singer for the Florida boys during this period & is he still living? We used to watch the Jubilee every Sunday morning at 08:30 in our time zone.

[@MerrittTom]

Billy Todd and he is no longer living

[@WalterLittle1963]

I've got a question that you might not know the answer to, but here goes. The opening theme - where the quartets would come out - was that just the quartets signing or did they have some additional voices off camera?

[@taperpowell558]

The opening music (the "Jubilee" theme) was a pre-recorded track about a minute long, and was the same every week, no matter what groups were on that week's program. The groups would lip-sync to the theme as they came out to smile at the camera and have their name come up on the screen. TV audio was not stereo in the 1960's, but that theme was recorded in stereo and appears on Canaan LP CAS-9602 entitled "Gospel Singing Jubilee", featuring the theme song as Band 1 on Side A. It is credited to "Jubilee Choir", so it is unclear what quartets are actually on it -- but the four groups that appear on the LP are The Florida Boys, The Couriers, The Happy Goodman Family and The Dixie Echoes, so I suspect it includes at least some of those voices. And I can tell you, that as big as that music sounded and as much as it raised the hair on the back of my neck when I was a kid and heard it come over the TV on a cheap 3" speaker in mono, the experience is even more immersive when you hear it on a good stereo system. The reverb and separation make it sound HUGE, like they're in the room and coming at you from everywhere. It's :56 seconds that pass too quickly; still commands my attention whenever I hear it, and like so many others here, brings back a flood of memories.
