New York Community Choir - Express Yourself

[@MsEjtube]

My Aunt Linda Price Webster sings Lead on this song. Am I proud? OOOHHH Yeah! Linda's voice was silenced on September 15, 2012, after a long struggle with health issues. We Love You Auntie. Keep singing! Thank you for the joy!

[@pamelabraden5176]

RIP Linda Price Webster. God bless your soul.

[@OHSOKIMBERLY]

RIP songstress ❤🖤💚

[@sensualm1]

What a shame, such a good voice! Sorry for your loss! I remember immediately buying the 12" Single when it first came out! I also remember playing my drums to this song in my apartment over-and-over-and over again! I was hoping to find a former choir member or writer(s) of the song because I've been having difficulty in discerning some of the lyrics correctly to this song. I guess my hopes are in vain? :(

[@sheilaboyette9939]

She is the truth May she rest in peace. She made this a hit!!

[@elainedouglas9650]

Ellen. In the 70s & 80s they would play this the clubs & we danced to it not realizing this is a gospel song. RIP to your Auntie

[@getzata96]

The part that starts at 9:00 is quite possibly the beginning of house and it’s alts. Fascinating

[@MK-hh1vo]

The ultimate bridge between disco and gospel. This was a hot club song, which is where I 1st heard it.

[@anthonytaylor7928]

I was in high school and we played it at all the house parties in Toledo Ohio I didn't realize everybody was all over the country

[@clydetaylor4065]

I remember dancing to this in the club and at house party's all night long 😂😆😂 where did the memories go 70s80s

[@daracus100]

Jamming to this jam at Kelly's Lounge back in the day in Detroit. The club opened at midnight and closed at 6 a.m. We danced our butts to the song all night long. I remember I had to sneak out the house and me and the crew would meet up at Kelly's lounge and dance like it was no tomorrow!

[@lenardshaw6037]

Whoo Lord Jesus sorry for useing your name in vain but this song brought me even more closer to you. Thank you for being a friend over and over again💥

[@jaybee5367]

This is a classic.

[@kthinsa]

[@sconiersclan]

Awww this takes me wayyy back.. Thanks so much

[@TheBibleSkeptic]

Well they sure don't make them like your late Aunt Linda Price Webster. My, what a voice! Loved it!! So rich and full of soul. Absolutely nothing auto-tuned about her talent. And, indeed, "thank you for joy!"
