Heather Headley - The Color Purple Final Goodbye

[@kriuffs]

I just love how whenever Cynthia sings the first line everyone starts going wild but as soon as she sings the next word everyone goes quiet bc they wanna hear her sing as much as they can lmao

[@jeneanlendor4648]

the audience goes wild because this is a classic gospel song with so much meaning

Danielle has some outstanding pipes! I want her to do more Broadway!

[@taylordowning2533]

I had no idea Danielle Brooks could sing like that!!

[@bradenmills624]

What amazes me about Cynthia is that after a whole performance with strong vocals...she's still flawless!

[@AdrianaCuevas17]

If the three of them made an album together…I’m sure it’d fix the world…I’ve seen this video like 10x…still makes me cry

When I need some encouragement I come here. Cynthia sounds beautiful but Danielle...my God my God!!!! Thank you Lord, I wont complain.

[@bryanedney2723]

NEVER be ashamed of where you come from. Gospel = GOOD NEWS and goes back to the Lamentations, "Callers/Chanters", Jubilee and other natural vocal applications from the beloved ancestors in Africa (Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, Senegal, Benin, Togo, Mali, Kenya, Gambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa...just to name a few). These styles of music worship are rooted in the traditions that are still in place "back home" today...jewels that we brought with us THAT HAVE BEEN THE FABRIC OF OUR LIVES FOR CENTURIES!

[@Krfran14]

Anointed cast...powerful.

[@cleopathlengwa1368]

All I can say is God is Good, these people are blessed with such instruments that touches a man's heart like that that Yuh! I'm in Awe

[@valydale]

If I could; once in my life be a part of something as sacred and beautiful as this, my life would be fulfilled entirely.

[@divaslm1]

This Ms. Cynthia Erivo is a Song Stylist. She is singing "I won't Complain" and hails from England. Go ahead with your bad self. Heather Headley, you deserved this honor and felt it. Your performance as Shug was complimentary and outstanding. Love you always.

[@vince050769]

Cynthia ERIVO et Danielle BROOKS!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!

[@slimjims3385]

If this isn’t the most talented Broadway cast. Stunning.

Cynthia. Omg, she's just unreal! Absolutely beautiful, heaven sent voice.

[@wikz6659]

2016 in NY for only a few days managed to get Rush Tickets to see Colour Purple with Heather Headley - always loved her voice - this show was stirring, inspiring and I recall clearly how I felt. Moved the crowd to their tiptoes with a minimal stage props, and outstanding performances by the cast.

[@lightfootjf]

Who just watched the new movie. Fantasia is on another level, but so proud of Danielle too.

[Verse1:] I've had some good days I've had some hills to climb I've had some weary days And some sleepless nights But when I look around And I think things over All of my good days Out-weigh my bad days I won't complain [Verse2:] Sometimes the clouds are low I can hardly see the road I ask a question, Lord Lord, why so much pain? But he knows what's best for me Although my weary eyes They can't see So I'll just say thank you Lord I won't complain [Chorus:] The Lord Has been so good to me He's been good to me More than this old world or you could ever be He's been so good, To me He dried all of my tears away Turned my midnights into day So I'll just say thank you Lord [Adlib:] I've been lied on But thank you Lord I've been talked about But thank you Lord I've been misunderstood But thank you Lord You might be sick Body reeking with pain But thank you Lord The bills are due Don't know where the money coming from But thank you Lord Thank you Lord Thank you Lord [Chorus:] I want to thank God Has been so good to me He's been good to me More than this old world or you could ever be He's been so good He's been so good He's been so good So good So good So good So good To me He dried all of my tears away Turned my midnight into day [Ending:] So I'll just say thank you Lord, I won't complain
