Vestal Goodman & Johnny Cook - Looking For A City

[@bennyspencer3118]

This is when gospel music was pure! You can see the love and admiration they have for each other!

[@WestHamParker8]

Gospel music is still pure.

[@rickeyhorn9631]

This is when gospel groups sung only gospel. They never blurred the lines between worldly music and gospel.they lead so many to Christ. This group knew what they were singing about.i miss those days

[@WestHamParker8]

@rickeyhorn9631 you're listening to the wrong music then. Blurring lines and whatnot. There are an abundance of current day Jesus worshipping gospel singing men and women who do not "blur lines" get out of 1970

[@keithaldrich1862]

For sure, the true joy and love. Today's contemporary gospel is so heavy and not enjoyable at all. I miss the old stuff.

[@tomlagesse6635]

Both no longer looking for a city... they've found it... and are rejoicing for eternity!

[@paulahardeman6103]

I hadn’t realized Johnny had passed. Mrs Vestal, Mrs Dottie Rambo, and Johnny teaching the angels to sing

This was my aunt Margret Smith of Myrtle Beach South Carolina went home to meet the Lord April 30th but this was her favorite song the song goes out to her I know it libby ❤❤ you watching over me

[@dawncarstensen8233]

I just played this for my dad. He has loved Vestal, The Goodmans, and Gaithers all of his life. My dad is right beside me in the final stages of dementia. Jesus will take him home very soon. I don't know how much my dad can understand or hear what we are saying. But mention the Name of Jesus, and he does respond to it. I hope that dad can escape from this horrible disease, illness, or whatever you want to call it, and find his city soon, where he'll meet his Savior and his loved ones too. Please come Holy Spirit

There are a lot of great women in gospel music but there will never be another like Vestal Goodman. ❤❤

I love Johnny Cook's voice! He can go really high without sounding shrill.

Beautiful. Thank you God for this beautiful duo

[@rickeyhubbard9069]

I admire the way both Vestal and Johnny are obviously having fun while performing a very difficult piece.

[@fireseeker4him]

I’m impressed that the musicians can just keep changing keys like it’s nothing. True professionals.

[@chrisring123]

Vestal - Bb Johnny - B Vestal - C Johnny - Db Vestal - D (putting her in rare territory with her ability to belt that high and so well) and then Johnny - Eb... Absolutely amazing! But you know what really blesses and inspires me is the joy they have in singing about the Lord and His blessings! I feel it, too - and I'm looking for that city, too - and with a smile, too! Hallelujah! And thanks for posting this!

Love the BEEHIVE on Vestal. She was young, and had a great set of pipes! The hair and clothing on everyone says 1969-1971.

[@johnreagan5183]

This song always puts a big smile on my face, and often happy tears in my eyes

[@BizzzyBee38]

I love this song with Johnny & Vestal. When I was a little girl I met Vestal's brother, Cat Freeman. I sat on his lap several times when he was in Iowa. He was also a great tenor & sang with the Blackwood Brothers quartet. I met Vestal & we chatted a good while about Cat. I miss all these wonderful people, including the Blackwood Brothers.

[@MParks412]

Johnny Cook what else can be said the smoothest tenor in gospel music. I know he is singing in heavens choir.
