Kim Burrell "Thank You Lord"

[@TheMzSimon]

It's 2024 and Kim singing this song is STILL INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! Love her!!!

[@theofficialmvb]

This video needs to go down in the Gospel Music Hall of Fame as one of the greatest artifacts/videos, ever captured in the black church... of all time. Mike Bereal on organ and Kim Burrell singing at the historic Mason temple (the very spot where Dr. King preached his last sermon), at the Convocation in Memphis, TN the home of soul music.... sheesh! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Nkosinati]

I agree so much with that. I've come back here to this one moment in time for inspiration so often over the years... I can't think of any one moment in spiritual music that's uplifted me more than this one. Kim Burrell singing Thank You to God. HalleluJah 🙌🏿

[@5450daniel]

Honestly, I regard her as the master of the "riff and run" technique. No other singer I've heard can hit those down or up runs as PRECISELY as her! Every single note on her runs are adroit and exact, it's completely amazing! I mean other singers are really good at "runs" but they do not use as many notes as Kim Burrel. She can hit like 10 to 15 notes on a run so easily....I truly admire her!

[@wolfpac901]

Jasmine Sullivan, KeKe Wyatt comes close

[@sylvialevy]

That's all she do is run. she straight can not sing.

[@LaniquaJackson]

@@wolfpac901not Keke Wyatt. She has range and agility but she can't do as many complicated runs and riffs as Jazmin and Keke.

[@devonjwaring]

This will forever be one of my favorite videos on youtube!…. Between Mike Bereal's reharminizations and Kim Burrell's effortless ability to flow throughout the chord changes and come back to the melody!

[@Blkeith88]

Soooo effortlessly

[@chriswright5166]

Mike bereal is with her every step of this song!

[@LKaiMadison]

She sang a quarter verse and folks started screaming standing and shouting! Whew! That anointing! Thank you Lord Indeed!!!

[@LadyVocals22]

I love the reactions...that how you know it’s oily 🙌🏾❤️

[@timwilliams2554]

I remember when I heard this year's ago with Mike Bereal playing the organ. He's played so melodically....he killed it!!! A great song to hear when you need your spirit lifted. This is a reminder when things could be worse than your present circumstances.

[@friendaGod]

I've heard Kim on different occasions say that she has NEVER studied jazz. Kim's voice is just filled with His anointing.

[@stephanie3506]

Her riffs and runs are AWESOME but the most AMAZING and most UNIQUE quality of her vocals is her range with the raspyness of her voice! It's truly one of a kind.

[@v8pwrusa818]

Mike Burrell on the organ, He's *BAD*😎!! His accompaniment played a *Major* role in the delivery of this song, while most organist who think they can play overpower The soloist and run with the song doing all that fancy stuff!! - Mike B, (smh) he is awesome!!

[@jermainebenson3230]

That is the musician for Kim OMG, he plays to cater right too her ear.

[@donaldlambjr7446]

Exactly!! Ppl don’t know when a singer great as Kim is followed by an organist like Mike they both hear stuff and vibe off eachother. He definitely bring them chords out of her

Boy find u a life okay. This was 25weeks ago I posted this. We in a new year and a new month let it go because Kim I really ain't Staten nothing you're saying business or not she probably won't even support you as much as you sit and support her why am I even commented back to you you have nothing else to do go to church or something

[@kevinbirmingham2004]

Praise The Lord. Your voice is so Blessed and Healing. The first time I really heard you sing was at Ms. Houston's Funeral and I have loved you every since. God Bless You!

This one of the greatest female gospel singers of all singers. As a matter of fact she is one of the greatest gospel singers female or male period. She has been bless with an awesome and don't forget unique gift.

[@majuro08]

I wish she would record this song. I love the original version of the song but I absolutely love the way Kim slows it down. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

[@ebegreg100]

Now I have always believed that if you're going to sing a song, SING THE SONG! The legendary Bishop Walter Hawkins we all know is phenominal in his own right, but Kim Burrell has taken this iconic selection and made it her own . This is what I mean, I am not concerned with who sang or recorded the song first - it does not matter at all! Just listen to her vocals, they are second to none. The blessing is that there is room for both renditions by Bishop Hawkins and Kim Burrell and there is nothing wrong with that! Don't forget, both of them will sing you CRAZY!!!!! and thats a tremendous blessing to all that will hear.

[@trinatrine]

It really amazes me how the people of God can look at an annointed woman of God such as Kim and be fazed by her riffs and runs. I agree with tcphilosopher that her singing is not taken seriously. As a musician, I know how that feels sometimes. You feel as if you are a spectacle and then it can sometimes be for show. I thank God for the annointing on Kim and others that sing, preach and play for the love of HIM!!!

[@garymcdonald7165]

Kim Burrell, I fell in love with her the first time i heard her sing. What an amazing voice and beautiful person.

[@Waiki104l]

Thank you Minister Kim!!! I start my mornings with this video. The message is so powerful and it helps me put on the full armor of God. It is only THROUGH HIM that we are BLESSED to be a blessing! I echo the sentiments of the gentleman in the brown suit and the organist threw down!!!!!

[@pruittsr]

I was there that night at Mason Temple and she brought the house down, it was electrifying. She called for her brother Micheal Burrell to get on the organ and thatwas all she wrote. You should have been there to hear The Nelson's, the girls behind her in the black,the did "I've Got Company." It was a night to remember!

[@grfloyd]

Its amazing that some of you to have any concept of worship and praise. The fact the people are enjoying one's singing simply says that they are in agreement with her worship. I think some are making a BIG deal about nothing but having an awesome time in church. And of course some that are commenting were not at this event and have no idea of the atmosphere!!!!

[@shonuff2good]

It's simply evolution of music and time. Sometimes people disregard history...it took the Clarks to bring us the amazing Kim Burrell and others that we love and enjoy for we all stand on the shoulders of those who've paved the way and gone before us, right?

[@contayjuss]

This is my song... At my church we sing the fast version but seeing this made me realize fast or slow it doesnt matter this is still my song and it always brings me to tears...IT COULDA BEEN ME!!!

[@G_Nice313]

talk about a gift... man i love it... she does it so effortlessly

[@trinatrine]

I agree what everyone is saying about Kim's magnificent voice but let me add that she is anointed in every way and sincere with her gift. This is definitely ministry and not a performance to please the people even though they were amazed, it didn't take her out of the realm of the Lord! God bless everyone of you!!! Love, Trina Trine

Thanks vocellist2010..Kim is soooo anointed and her piece of this song is also.

Lol!!!! Absolutely LOVING this in 2012!!!! The brother in the brown suit kills me at 2:42 bc that's exactly how I feel when I hear that run and PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME! God is sooo GOOD! Praise Him through the good and the bad! Just PRAISE HIM! I love it!

Well, I must say this video was my introduction to Kim Burrell and I had the SAME REACTION as the congregation. I've NEVER heard anyone do some of the things that she has done. Much like when I first heard Karen Clark Sheard and Vanessa Bell Armstrong. What they do IS NOT the ordinary. So, I'm sure for some this was their first encounter w/Burell. It's angelic and mesmerizing to know its all done for God! This is on REPEAT!

I was about to comment on the same thing. What infuriates me about the video is the congregation. They are NOT listening to her minister, they are in awe and waiting for riffs and runs. Kim is TRULY ministering and they are COMPLETELY missing her message. Kim is a TRUE worshipper and minister and I wish the congregation would have caught the flow. God Bless
