James Cleveland - Peace Be Still

Gospel Celebration 1988

[@latisharobinson8808]

I miss Rev Cleveland so very much. I grew up in his church listening to my aunts sing in the choir. Rev Cleveland baptized me. I love coming back to KZbin to listen and remember the sermons and watching the women fall out all over the church from his preaching and singling. RIP James Cleveland!

[@directorofmusc]

These are the songs that brought inspiration and freedom, deliverance and hope to those who went to church seeking answers. This is real church music that we need to revive again. Thank you Rev. Cleveland for giving us the gospel through song. Rest in the arms of the Lord.

[@KSM50]

God,we need songs like this more and more

[@ladyfeather66]

i WAS BROUGHT UP LISTENING TO Rev. James CLEVELAND WITH MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER. He has such power in his voice. i love to listen to him

[@dianematthew8050]

Rev James Cleaveland is one of my favorite gospel singers. R.I.P

[@RBPFGM]

I love this kind of music... An old soul here too and im 28.

[@rennedelorean519]

It's so nice to read all these nice things people have to say about my Pastor, The Great Reverend James Cleveland. He was my Pastor for 22 years and he taught me to serve God with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind and all my strength. That high voice that someoone mentioned is Cleo Kennedy.

[@darrioushamilton6627]

these the kind of songs u need when u going through something

[@ShondaGospelDiva]

The King of Gospel... never another like him.

[@1010503]

It was all so angelic...couldn't help but be so spiritually moved. i commend his expertise with all choirs that he worked during his life. The beauty of altos, sopranos, etc. all voice levels blending in as ONE. that's what real music is about. I can't sing but my ears havealways been trained to recognize and identify GOOD singing. The man was a pure genius!!!

[@flmontgomery]

After, almost twenty five years James Cleveland, blow as it were the dust off his Old "Peace Be Still" recording with the Angelic Choir (Vol 3). This Just goes to show that good music will always stand the test of time. Rest in PEACE James.

[@Savannah2751]

I was in elementary school when I first heard this song. It had the original ending, but I loved it. I was not in the church then. Don't think I had ever been, but I started asking my mama to go to church.She would get up, get me dressed to go, and watch me walk to church, but she only went with me 3 times in my life. I didn't join a church until I was grown, but I always believed in Jesus and God,

[@mill8277]

When my soul needs uplifting......I listen to him singing............

[@jamadavisii]

This when real heartfelt, soul moving music was made. You and feel the spirit of God in every word. There is just a joy that takes me back to where I met the Lord. Its the songs that reminds us the God's still got it all covered.

[@MegaGum1]

Rev Cleveland had his choirs S C H O O L E D!!!! Change key on the last chord boy. And i love Revs signature having the solo soprano hit the high note. Ooooooo weeee, sends me.

[@--simple-cs2]

Now THIS is the way the Word in song should be ministered, with POWER!

[@angeeNtrinity]

614Gem, you are so right. It was good enough for our grandparents and theirs, and it is still good for us in the 21st Century. Praise God for Peace in the midst of the storm.

[@debbielong4966]

Yes, Peace Be Still! Devil, U do not belong here, & I have nothing that belongs 2 U...... I belong 2 The Lord! Hallelujah!

[@msbellatplay]

This song got me through some very hard times, when things got of hnd and trouble was brewing all around me, I would sing this song.......

[@jp32pj24]

THIS MAN HAS AWAYS MOVED MY SPIRIT!!!! NOBODY DID IT LIKE REV. JAMES CLEVELAND!! RESTING IN PEACE

[@professorlocs]

Rev. Cleveland is truly divinely talented and continues to inspires even today. I cannot recall my childhood without hearing his songs.

[@cherylward5315]

Memories are what God gives us to make it through whatever it is we are going through. I have remembered and made it through...thank God for Rev. James Cleveland and all the others who gave and continue to give good ole' traditional gospel...it lives in the soul for it continues to move us each time with hear it with the ear and hear it in our hearts. May peace be still for you my sisters and brothers in Christ. It did my heart good to hear this...its been a long time...

[@cgcade1]

That Monday night at West Angeles COGIC, Los Angels, CA is one of my fondest memories. My brother Carl singing in the tenor section @3:46 says "Yeah!" to confirm whenever the Lord says peace there will be peace be still.

[@annamarie7116]

[@614Gem]

Now this is that soul stirrin gospel music! This is the music that got your grandparents and their parents through those storms of life. Ain't nothing like a old gospel spiritual.

[@servantroz]

[@ioriorioriorio]

@614Gem Exactly!!...got me thru the friggin' 1980's!!!!!....got saved in 83....forget my grampa!!...Im only 49!!!!,,,,still play my old savoy records!!

[@RXmusic4YOU]

[@cherylward5315]

Isn't it amazing how God blesses us with memories to get us through the times we wouldn't be able to get through if it wasn't for memories...thank God for Rev. James Cleveland and all the others who gave and give traditional gospel music for it feeds the soul...it nourishes us when we're alone with our sadness...allow Him to give you peace in your time of need...He brought me through...I have never forgotten...

[@dwightfc]

This man was a legend. Rev. Cleveland came to the Bahamas in the early 80's he and Shirley Caesar and tore up Paradise Island. Men like him paved the way for many of the artist we hear and especially see today, thanks to all the media technology they take advantage of. I wish I could see more of these people, you know those real artists from the old school.

[@cuddlescutie]

omg i remember this!!! i been thinking about this clip. this was on bobby jones gospel. this was 2 years before i got saved and filled with the holy ghost. i remember on that sunday morning me and my grandmother was watching this before church. and for 2 years i was wondering what kind of peace they were talking about. imagine a 10 year old thinking like that, but if you knew the life i was living at 10. if you knew the demons that were chasing me at 10!!!! then you would understand. I GOT PEACE

[@1010503]

Jesus! This man can uplift the spirit and make the dead feel it. Others sound good or ok when they sing this song-but James has his signature (alone) on this one-he makes you stop in your tracks-feel it in your bones-and want God in ALL parts of your life.

[@TheJctsa210]

I agree and I'm from that generation....Nothing Like It!

[@jamesponderjr.4749]

I just love Re.James Cleveland Song, When I am down I just Play he's Songs and I get Better and keep going because God will make a way. :)

[@survivingallstorms9929]

I agree with you

[@debbielong4966]

Oh Yes!

[@34Sweettea]

[@mcmiraclevalley]

Rev. James Cleveland is one of a kind. He was a gift to the church and no one can sing this like Rev. Cleveland and his choir: Rev. Michael Capps, Ph.D

[@86rouge]

Wow this brings back memories. I grew up listening to him. Sunday morning radio that played gospel all day. These are the songs that will keep you encouraged.

[@2Hopeso]

I CAN SEE AND FEEL CLEVELAND ALL THROUGH MY BONES. GOD GIVE US ANOTHER CLEVELAND FOR THESE TROUBLED TIMES. NOW THAT'S A RAP. PEACE

[@survivingallstorms9929]

Me to James.... No matter what any one has to say about James Cleveland he still did what God call him to do for the people the seek god music, words, and love. So I say who ever is not with SIN, please cast the first stone to James Cleveland pass. R. I. P. Sweet rest.

[@survivingallstorms9929]

Beautiful

[@mcmiraclevalley]

There was only one Rev. James Cleveland and I loved his ministry. Rest in Peace: Rev. Michael Capps, Ph.D

[@RXmusic4YOU]

Thank you James,...it was your music that directed me to what is real...

[@drmoz43]

he was one of a kind for the 19th Century. He was an original and not a fake.

[@BPorterDDS]

[@eligah8]

Nobody does it like da king

[@debbielong4966]

Hallelujah!

[@delusion1000]

simply awesome!!!

[@1daful]

NEWSFLASH - James was a MAN, with flaws just like the rest of us. Still, this man was sincere in his praise and love for God. He wrote more than 500 songs of praise to God. He started a workshop to develop and mentor individuals singing God's praise. Now for all those who like to gossip and keep up mess, I say Peace Be Still.

[@Zonarama]

James Cleveland is the greatest! Thanks for putting this up.

[@RGRANGRAN]

This has always been my Mother's favorite gospel song. I often remember the times she lead the choir singing this at Mitchell Tabernacle in Fireworks Station, Illinois now known as Alorton.

[@Bluzey30]

I loved when he used to go "Shhhhhh"....He is still missed.

[@RenataDavis]

I got peace

[@holyrollersoldier]

I thank everybody for their comments and opinions but I decided to disable the comments so that people around the world can be ministered to by this song and know that God will bring PEACE in the midst of life's storms and difficulties. God Bless Ya.

[@pamambers6742]

[@zjones1984]

I've always loved this song!

[@GROFOOPERS]

Thank you sooo much for this one! You did outdo yourself with this one.

[@ioriorioriorio]

What a talent!!......I learned so much from Reverand James!!!!

[@GospelWorks]

Peace! Be Still, It does not matter if you destroy the messager, or reward the messager, just be sure YOU DON'T IGNORE the message! Peace is a command! Be still is a command! Let God work it out for James, YOU, and ME!

[@thabluz7]

@sacimesenor God bless you, this tells me you are filled with spirit that most don't even know about. Keep on feeling it!!!!!!!!!

[@biggeroo]

the comments about Mr. Cleveland's life style are cruel and uncalled for. Let him that is without sin cast the first stone. This man Is A TRUE LEGEND! He IS A AN ICON IN AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSIC HISTORY.His contibutions to the church probably out weigh anything that any of you bloggers have ever done!

You are right. Rev. Cleveland first released the song in 1963 and it was one of the biggest-selling records of that time.
