Madame Edna Gallmon Cooke singing "Pray Sometimes"

[@dgary9832]

SING Ladies and Gentlemen!! Madam Edna Gallmon Cooke was a GREAT singer!!💙🙂🙌

[@kentbrooks3227]

She and my late mother were friends. My mom was a local gospel singer, and Madame Cooke would travel from Washington, D.C. to my hometown in Oxford, NC every third Sunday in November to be on my mom's gospel anniversary program. She always drew a huge crowd.

Rev Charles Taylor sent me some footage as a gift becausse he found out I'm still playing his music on my station. One afternoon I spent almost 3 hrs featuring him and will do it again this summer. Grateful you enjoyed this, Linwood

I love this lady! I never knew her and she didn't know me, but I am blessed that she lived. 2009 and the blessings rolls on! Come on youngens and let's learn what true worship is through a true relationship with our LORD.

[@mafketays]

She's my favorite gospel singer ever and I'm so happy that this footage is available. Despite the flaws in picture and sound this is priceless footage of an amazingly performer.

[@blessedover]

[@gospellin]

I know the feeling. Many times we do get the desires of our heart. It's just that He has his own timetable. Linwood (gospellin)

R'Quan Tyler connected to the True Vine... Remember them old landmarks... Praise the Lord!

[@imareallone]

good to see my people in the past on a video---amazing!

[@lottiereed2858]

I just love this video, i wish it was a little clear, but with modern technology I feel pretty sure they can fix it up, if not so glad to see her in action clear or not

[@PeculiarPrayze]

Whoo! I love this song!

[@bradyman24]

LORD !!! .. there has to be more video footage of this woman out there somewhere !!! ... I love her !!! ... SOMEBODY .. SOMEDAY ... SOMEWHERE !! ... Please post more footage of Madame Edna Gallmon Cooke !!!

[@Rowoches]

I would love to find that second song she sang...better yet, I wish I was there when she was sangin it!!

[@Rowoches]

@MrKITCHENTALK: You're very fortunate to find that album. From my understanding, it's a very, very rare album.

[@gospellin]

It's hard to say whose backing her because many of our quartet singers got their start backing her. Tommy Ellison, Willie Banks and others were her "Singing Sons". She would change when needed. I interviewed Tommy Ellison 1n 1993 and he said she was an elegant, sweet and spiritual person who everyone respected. She died here in Philly and what a great loss to Gospel Music.

@revhcrayton maybe it's just me but i can sure hear some of madame edna when i listen to shirley caesar.

[@Rowoches]

LOL! That devil-stricken dog! He's upstairs praying right now. He took Edna's advice! Lol!

[@gospellin]

Yes I'm aware that she was from south Carolina. I have friends who were members at the Springfield Baptist Church where she attended in Washington.

[@Marshallmiracles]

Surely a church had an anniversary and someone filmed the program and there are more video of Edna Cooke singing that can be transferred to you tube from old films? Ask and you shall receive, with God all things are possible...

[@MrKITCHENTALK]

THE NAME OF THE 2ND SONG IS "MUST BE JESUS" IT'S ON THE LET JESUS FIX IT LP

[@papoose20746]

i didnt know her but I know her son. He still attends the church her career got started in Springfield Baptist Church in Washington DC

[@Rowoches]

LOL! I would do a little of both!

[@blessedover]

why they don't play the organ like that no more.

[@Marshallmiracles]

Most of her back-up quartets were already stars, like the Skylarks, the Swanee Quintet, the Nightingales w/Julius Cheeks, and others. They are not credited on her recordings now, unfortunately.

[@jive5willie]

This is my first time seeing footage of her. Who are the guys in the background?

[@gospellin]

she was a smooth ainger but when she got fired up LOOK OUT!!!!!

[@gospellin]

She would alternate her background singers. Many would eventually go out on their own and form their own group

[@SISTEREDNA]

Edna Gallmon COOKE was known as the SWEETHEART OF THE POTOMAC. AND SHE IS FROM SOUTH CAROLINA ORIGINALLY NOT WASHINGTON DC SHE MOVED THERE IN THE THIRTIES AS DID A LOT OF SOUTH CAROLINIANS!

[@MrKITCHENTALK]

Do you think you can upload the videos? lol Please

[@Rowoches]

Well, do it!!! I'll help you! Lol!

[@bellstacey770sb]

Help yourself!!! Go head!

[@gospellin]

@meatlman99 Myrna was certainly not influenced by Madame Cooke. Perhaps you have Myrna mixed up with someone else.

[@gospellin]

I think your dog knows how to bring you back lol

[@blessedover]

@Rowoches It must be Jesus I just uploaded it

[@SilverAdonis]

Wow!! Eww WEE, makes me want to get up and clap here in my office.

[@gospellin]

I don't know and I'm not a musican. Maybe they don't have that type of organ anymore. Perhaps a musican can better answer your question.

[@gospellin]

why, were you going to shout or pass out lol

[@gospellin]

Hey, Bite Your tongue

[@brenjac59]

voices are similar though not the style.
