Marion Williams and Alex Bradford - Take me to the water

A historic event: probably the first black gospel concert ever in the Netherlands. Recorded in Utrecht, november 1962

[@timothycook9974]

Marion Williams is absolutely extraordinary. The power and grace in her voice is other worldly. Ten thumbs down must have some personal problem.

[@PaganCircle]

Her and Mahalia were two of the greatest gospel voices of all time! Simply amazing!

[@PedroCucuchucho]

+Johnny Topside ¿Dorothy Love, Ruth Davis?

[@marcootaviorochacouto2728]

[@dlfields8429]

I simply love watching and hearing these golden gems of our historic gospel greats❤

[@dorajohnson6252]

The two voices together is just so beautiful and amazing! Where is this kind of praise today!!

[@Juliaethel]

I am having a spiritual moment!

[@misskelly9184]

[@jamarsawyer2282]

I love listing to this song please bring music like this back

[@opidacul]

her voice is expressing the divinity, the beautiful things as they are, the amaizing things that we don't see because our self imposed blindnes

[@rene-parizh]

Je pense que j'ai regardé cette vidéo environ 10 000 fois :D

[@avillageofbigheads]

[@dmmrad54]

I come to this video on a daily basis since I discovered it. I love it! I can feel the spirit moving.

[@charleshiggs7536]

[@STARKALEXANDRE]

[@Nettsinthewoods]

[@ginetonkachamba6655]

Thank God for the great music. Beautiful voices.

[@barbaraboney6393]

Absoutely Amazing,My Lord what else can i say?

[@68NYC]

Lifted!!! Thanks for posting this with the info in the description also. Didn't know this. Definitely definitive.

[@dorajohnson6252]

The brother can sang!! it is so sad that you don't hear this kind of praise anymore! thanks for posting.

[@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081]

He wrote most of the songs he recorded, he was a very talented minister of music too. Both Alex and his wife were musically talented.

[@jollysincere]

Never again will you see or hear this kind of singing, 1st, the singers of today (if U can call them singers) do not possess the talent to pull off this masterpiece. and the the musicians ...well that's another topic altogether.

[@laeunicechapman2070]

Awesome

[@jeffreyconyers7068]

My God!!!!!!!! Woooooooooooo!!!!!!

[@jtatl1996]

I had to watch it again. That was funny.

[@ihaiarongonui8003]

mind blowing voice

[@tonimitchell7695]

This is the true gospel music.The stuff today is worldly, sensual and not at all godly. We need to get back to what true praise and worship looks like. Paul calls for singing spiritual hymns, but the so-called contemporary gospel and Christian music sounds just like the secular. You can’t tell the difference.

[@SassyQueenT]

She sounds douche like Mahalia Jackson luv it we so need to go bk to sum of the traditional hymns

[@mrpeach2023]

SassyQueenT she sounds like what?

[@mraaronhd]

SassyQueenT douche...? 🙄

[@xrigtrk]

Good stuff

[@ajsway7134]

They were about to shout and so was I lol

[@blckrc]

Like John did Jesus one day.

[@Birdlives247]

I'm waiting to see Alex Bradford's "If Mother Knew" on KZbin. It's powerful stuff and a little scary. Also Bro. Cecil Shaw's great recordings like "Pray On My Child" from the original 78 or 45(?).

[@SassyQueenT]

Meant so much

[@NB1091]

3:17 that verse all together just made me wanna shout

[@stars2luv]

But wasn't this type of gospel adapted from combining with the worldly style (blues, jazz, etc)?? My opinion is that the contemporary christian musicians aren't to be criticized. It's just that now isn't God's time for his work through gospel music?

[@mraaronhd]

stars2luv I think they all came from the same work songs that slaves used to sing while working in the fields.

[@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081]

Jazz and blues has its roots in spirituals.

[@BroPorkChop]

Very moving...but why they aint tell the blind woman she had on the wrong robe...

[@stars2luv]

I mean not as a big fire like it used to be in the Gospel Golden Age. No offense to anybody.

[@ko197728]

My wife better hurry up and come home so I can go fishing

[@sidebarr7]

well we could if they had not replaced the organ with a loud drummer and moved in the worldly tunes.Get the world out and the Holyspirit will come back in.

[@reneekeeling5952]

sonny Godly l

[@gilbertodeandradegaia6779]

And shouting

[@tolojr]

When the chorus came in everyone must have been like "Oh my, what's going on?" Amen!

[@mylesburris3885]

Today is October 12th, 2018 Can you imagine MAHALIA, Marion, Clara, Erma ,and Aretha singing a duet in heaven!!!!! Wouldn't be a DRY EYE ANYWHERE!!

[@atownofbigheads]

If only Heaven existed. Would be nice. Its good thing we have technology, someday we can actually make your dream a reality.

[@bwaabiamajuwon3907]

I’m thankful to be alive to hear the evolution of gospel music,these songs are the foundation.

[@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081]

Rev Alex Bradford and Marion featuring the Alex Bradford singers and the stars of faith.

[@cameelsmith1335]

My God these are vocals without a microphone!!!!!

[@ruthdavis9563]

+Cameel Jackson ...AND WITHOUT ANY HYPE OR TRICKERY....IN OTHER WORDS,THESE FOLKS CAN SANG.....NOT SING! BUT FLAT FOOTED SANG!

[@brandyquick6437]

I know SMH she was often compared to mahaillia jackson..me personally her voice is way more powerful and soulful still love mahailia though.. this video should have way more views

[@jacegainer3841]

@@brandyquick6437 Mahalia had way more power but Marion definitely was extremely versatile

[@SherwoodAnderson]

Amazing! Brings back memories.

[@colsomemiah6095]

The lady is soaring right into heaven...gorgeous harmonics...thank You Jesus for the new birth....none but the righteous and I will be in that number.....

[@Justsang4me]

My God We need this kinda singin' again in our Churches!! So Heavenly
