It’s 2024 and I still come back to this video I remember when it first came on and my mom had recorded it on her VCR tape and we played it until it popped

[@donovanrobinson1843]

They all brought their own style to this. Cissy was showing her operatic technical prowess and restrain. Unlike vanessa who said aint no restraining me. This was truly fabulous and legendary

[@dorisjimerson8649]

SISSY tore that intro up.. you right about that

[@kyri103]

Vanessa Bell Armstrong is somethin serious!!! Lawd!

[@daingermouz2077]

Lol, Vanessa don't play no games.

[@DaddyIvo]

To this very day...no other Gospel performance can top or match this!

[@veneittabrown2337]

Yes ma'am! He tore it up!

[@neverbeendessus]

Madam Houston’s vocals and adlibs !

[@ceds.9592]

Pastor Caesar preach that thang now. Then, you got the great Vanessa or VBA coming in with this soaring glissando and holding that piercing note. Bishop Winans and Ms. Hawkins exchange was just spectacular. They were the perfect pair. Ms. Hawkins gone head and growl for us. Notice everything still sounding in tack when they went Acapella and the old church clapping was everything. Sometimes clapping and stomping in the black church is our only form of percussion. This was everything and really church. This was church and fellowship. The whole stage sounded so good. Let’s not forget to mention that they all looked good and dressed down. Everybody on stage got class, and I’m living for it! Enjoy this everytime I watch.

[@stephkcribbs5021]

This song and performance rose up something Great Deep Down in my SOUL!! GLORY TO ALMIGHTY GOD!!!

[@ayoq9956]
