My God Is Real & Just a Closer Walk with Thee -- Gospel Medley

[@luigig53]

"My God Is Real" is a song I sang as a vey young girl from Chicago, Illinois at Pacific Garden Mission down on Skid Row. My late birth father accompanied me on the piano in this exact southern gospel style.Thanks for the time travel back to my musical roots. Jesus is lifted high through the praises Hs children, and music is certainly one of the best ways to give our Heavenly Father praise. You do that so well!

[@brendalittlejohn5070]

Excuse me for crying this song bring back so much Memory 😭❤ Thanks u for sharing this video ❤🙏

[@direfranchement]

I'm swooning over your interpretation of "My God is Real"---sounds like the old Black Baptist Church. So soulful.

[@calebraysilcott9471]

Every year I come back to this around All Saints Day for inspiration to improvise on “When All the Saints Go, Marching in” especially the 2nd half of “ Just a Closer Walk” then I go listen to some Professor longhair also for inspiration.

[@forrestreaser5213]

I just had my daily blessing. "My God Is Real"

[@birdlover6842]

Beautiful melody as well as rendition. Seems gospel music is very pleasing to listen to.

[@melvinnixon2378]

Great touch on the keyboard. Love your style.

[@PK-tm8qg]

[@macygreen2760]

[@jonatasdlima]

This arrangement is just amazing. God bless.

[@ellisonlawson]

Praise the LORD! Amen

[@tink1944]

Beautiful.... you play it like I feel it. I think you play like I play, let the soul take over and hear what is inside. It may not always be the same, but it always has feeling. I feel you .... and I am 68. Thank you for some really beautiful tunes.

[@cyber5006]

OMGosh!!!! I absolutely LOVE your styling of this old hymn. Adding that dramatic base, the way you add it is absolutely phenomenal. I could listen to you play all day.

[@7ucyat50]

when I listen to this, it gave me chills love it, I wish I was near to sing it for u... Gospel Vocalist Lucy..God Bless you always....

[@MPardo-cx6jj]

Both pieces were perfectly executed, in many respects! Piano is very well tuned! Great: clean and crisp tone, rhythm, dynamics, pedaling and very SOULFUL! OUTSTANDING!

[@Phynx-F850]

how i wish i can play the piano just like you. You're so great with your jazzzy notes. Thank you for sharing your music. God bless you!

[@Jauntle]

How I wish you were closer to play in our church! We no longer have a pianist. Thank you so much for your renditions!

[@1957Jfk]

My two favorite Gospel songs--I love to play those on piano & guitar too--Reckon these'll be the ones played at my funeral- Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@scotto40]

You never cease to amaze me! I love it when you do gospel music. You have such an incredible talent. I wish I could hang out with you for about a month and learn some of the great things you do in your playing.

[@annietaylor2465]

Beautifully played.

[@Pianoninja924]

This is pretty sweet. I've never really gotten into gospel music before, but I really need to start listening to more of it.

[@zennabella1676]

SOME OF ITS REALY NICE. YOU DONT HAVE TO BE RELIGIOUS TO LISTEN TO IT. IF YOU LIKE THE TUNE ITS FINE.

[@patriciamorgan3171]

Absolutely Beautiful ! You Blessed my soul! The church does not sing or play hymns like this anymore which is a shame and disgrace far as I am concerned. ♥

[@cryskolt]

I love the natural & happy feeling of the song that you manage to bring out with your Steinway, not to mention with ease. I guess this performance reflects your carefree and thankful memories of Gospel music? Your Gospel roots are a really good foundation for all your other Jazz piano vids.

[@tonybird8465]

Totally Awesome! Thank you.

[@guitarlots]

What a wonderful talent God has given to you, thank you for making such a great channel sir

[@WhatJustHappened4444]

This is such a blessing . Thank you ! We used it as one of the songs on my Dad's memorial slideshow . He was a piano player himself .. reminds me of him. I listen to it all the time when I need music medicine for the soul and spirit.

[@7notemode]

What a wonderful comment! Thank you.

[@WhatJustHappened4444]

@@7notemode kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5WkmqhnrLCraLc Thought you may enjoy it. The 2nd song is an original by my dad.

[@tiffanytoth7859]

love your arrangements! so beautiful and full of life !

[@cathygordon1690]

I had no idea that you played the piano! Did you go to school or is it just a gift? This is an amazing rendition! What brand of piano is this? Keep up the good work! I guess this is your next job!!

[@slgproducoesltd]

I love blues and soul gospel music. Really a beauty soundtracks. God bless you. Hugs.

[@Jauntle]

OMG Tom you are so anointed! Thank you I sang along and could remember how sweet both these songs are! Yes I would buy if you had CDs!

[@treylong6243]

Oh how. I wish I had followed through with learning piano. Just another beautiful way to worship. Sometimes vocals isn't enough. Beautiful talent and ministry

[@Rainersclarinet]

I like your playing very much! All the best wishes Rainer

[@honeybeah8]

absolutely beautiful the way you make the piano talk

[@davnkatz]

I really feel "moved" by your R&B styling. Beautiful redition of two favorite gospel songs.

[@nezzy1225]

This is SO very beautiful. I wish that you could do a tutorial on playing gospel, or better yet, publish a music book of gospel the way you play it. It is my very favorite style, and you do such a beautiful job of it. Thank you so much for this video!!

[@7ucyat50]

Just so bless, and yes he is real!!!

[@melvinnixon2378]

WONDERFUL PLAYING. GREAT TALENT YOU HAVE........

[@renatorenzantonio2183]

How I wish I could play as you are I played hymns on Sunday services but on accordion

[@7notemode]

Accordians are awesome! I've never played one, but love the tones you can get from it. Thanks.

[@GutpileCharlie]

Hey, my man, that just sent me into the groove. Gospel is not my bag, but that was just off the hook, I don't care who you are. Thanks for the musical offering.

[@perfectbudgie]

Inspirational, Tom. Loved this.

[@gsdsteve]

Love to have a transcription of this.

[@drdames]

simply amazing

[@Jauntle]

I would love to here Mahalia's version of Crying in the Chapel! Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[@7notemode]

@DavePlays4Jesus Thank you, Dave. I appreciate it.

[@criss719]

I wish you lived near me so that we could jam sometimes. I've learned and have improved so much In the past few years from just watching the different licks from so many piano players. Actually, I watch more KZbin than anything.

[@deborahdebooth5103]

I love it!!! 😁🎹❤️

[@TheTxniceguy]

Oh wow! That was awesome! Loved your arangements!!

[@7notemode]

[@sindollface]

Awesome!!

[@mcmiraclevalley]

You did an outstanding job in playing (My God is Real)!!!!!!!! I play it daily will praying. Hope you bless us with more my brother. I play the Hammond B-3 with 122 but did so more in my youth but now don't practice so don't do much on church platform. Rev. Michael Capps, Ph.D Bishop:

[@55devinemsa]

Luv it luv it luv it!

[@whitman1100]

BRIILIANT THAT MAN ,, WELL DONE

[@dontplaywithmetf5738]

No disrespect but white boy you Betta play.. I can feel the spirit of God in me hearing you play

[@troyfim123]

I love it and enjoy it also, that was great

[@Donovan_Walker]

Great playing!

[@paxwallacejazz]

1st half demonstrates the wonderful dual personality of a good Steinway ie. how it becomes a different animal above ff when all those bright harmonics blaze forth. but I prefer the trip through the streets of New Orleans (2nd half) .

[@worshipiano247]

Love your style!

[@TWM_DIARIES]

Take me to church! B.E.A.utiful!

[@GutpileCharlie]

OUT STANDING!

[@7notemode]

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. This tune on a B-3 would be awesome!

[@DeanoPiano]

Soulful such great to hear it once in a while, BTW people 7note mode is an amazing player, cheack his other vids out!!

[@sindollface]

That was cool .. I try to put the blues sound in Gospel songs I'm learning , it's not easy. You did that well .. u wouldn't have sheets for any of that do ya?

[@waldenballoonsandevents9982]

fantastic!!!

[@5152koreavet]

Are you kidding me? I've been looking for a teacher like you forever. I'm in NJ and our playing here is rubbish - bass guitars and drums that beat your brains in. This is REAL PLAYING.

[@davnkatz]

+Vic Riz - - - I know what you mean. People on bass guitars just want to blast away. Instead, an upright bass adds the right amount of bottom and rhythm.

[@nanderson91]

Love it!

[@pvjohnson52]

Love that gospel music

[@superhifi3040]

very enjoyable!

[@joeholtsnotes]

Fun! Feels nice!

[@TheModelsVoice]

This is great! I want to record to this. Can you send it in a file for a singer to sing it slow with an intro ? This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@JamMan19701]

Very good.

[@7notemode]

@helixfly No CD yet, but on my to do list. Thanks, Larry.

[@Dave_The_Beatmaker]

Hey, thank you for this pieces. I really love them. I like your style, your dynamics, licks etc. I suppose you play by ear, don't you? because you cannot play like this from sheet music! Your grant is very expressive and has a nice tune, I like it! God bless you, his music is the only music that blesses my heart!

[@grj123yadigg]

Nicely done

[@sindollface]

I’d pay for the sheet music to this,,

[@EH_888]

Great job!!! :)

[@sindollface]

I would put this video on repeat if I could.

[@7notemode]

Thanks!

[@neemiascruz]

Muito bom. Parabéns !
