Thomas Whitfield and choir sing "all I Need"

[@itsdynomyte]

OMG...I was at this recording, Clevelaned, OH...I took 3 RTA buses through snow to get to the Civic Auditorium for this recording...I was 16, my parents put me on punishment for a month, I didn't care. Wow...this is legendary video!

[@anthonygrant3750]

Looking back, you had no idea that he would pass away so young. It’s amazing that you got to see him and his choir.

[@prettyboinelly2193]

What was the year when u saw this?

[@sheilafields4067]

That's amazing I was somewhere around that time card this song confirmed my love for the MOST HIGH YAH AND HIS LOVE AND SCRIFICRF

[@melliemel32]

You got in trouble for going to hear the Gospel? Bless your geart…I pray you have lived it all these years too!

[@FabienMattox]

😊😊

[@rashonts]

That MAN BETTER SING!!!!! That's a LEAD! not too much, not too little...Classic hits like these flat out don't get wrote anymore.

[@EMWBOI07]

Truly Thomas Whitfield was ahead of his time and his chords was ahead of its time. He was one of the greatest men in Gospel Music. Nothing like Detroit Gospel. One historical note: He produced and did the music for Vannessa Bell Armstrong's 1st Album "PEACE BE STILL" which is still a classic album.

[@Whtmt]

Tommy did not have to beat that piano up like that! MY GOD! He's still the GREATEST!!!!!!!!!!

[@ndflossy]

i still MISS THOMAS WHITFIELD!!!!! he was the TRUTH!!!!

[@teflo2]

LAWD HAVE MERCY!!!! After all these years, I'm still addicted to this song! Praise God!

[@2TruMike]

My Big Cousin the Choir Director, Miss You Cuz!!!🙏🏽❤️

[@wardsnow5040]

As a native of THE "D". I am forever a GOSPEL MUSICIAN and PREACHER from the COGIC and FIRST BORN CHURCHES., This is the REAL GOSPEL MUSIC. No offense to the 2000's babies but this is IT !!!!!!! I will never forget The Maestro. It's Real .!!!!!!!!!! Elder Ward A. Snow formerly of Southwest Detroit.... Livin in Bama.

[@2TruMike]

I Always come here to see my Big Cousin, Choir Director Dennis M. Walker, R.I.P.

[@enjoyit08]

Wow! I miss Thomas Whitfield! Growing up singing his intricate and precise melodies was like like being trained by a master vocal coach. Not many choirs/singers could truly replicate the moves and changes in his original productions without tons of practice. There are many of us who recognize the awesome gift God gave us in this humble Maestro and the legacy left by Min. Whitfield and we are surely grateful! The epitome of ministry thru music!

[@QuiteSexy7]

One of my favorite gospel songs of all time, brings me to tears because it is my hearts songs all day and all night. Jesus is truly 'All I Need' !!

[@TexasManMike]

This is STILL one of my all-time favorite songs by ANYBODY. Dude singing the lead is "ON IT". Those were the days when people sang with power and the annointing and not for a chance to be on BET's Celebration of Gospel. lol What a powerful song. I didn't know if I was gonna break out in a dance or have a "baptist fit" and pass out at my computer. lol Thanks for sharing this gospel classic!!! :)

[@nulifesolja]

This from Sound of Gospel's War on Crack Concert in Toledo, Ohio back in the day. SOG had their whole roster there: Donald Vails, Jerry Q. Parries, Craig Brothers, Esther Smith, and of course The untouchable Whitfield Company. I was there that night!

[@PhillipConleyJr.]

Was it held at Savage Hall at University of Toledo? That’s what this looks like but I can’t tell

[@songbirddomole]

Omg! This song is killing me! I've spent the last hour on repeat! Thank you Jesus for being all that I need!

[@cedriclyons17]

Love this song, that Brutha is singing, good stuff

[@rosellabush4027]

[@DDanyelleThomas]

[@wonderfilled6048]

Wow the memories! My mother used to have this on cassette tape back in the day.

[@DDeep1000]

Being a peculiar person, I prefer this peculiar sound over the common sound of the world. We miss you Thomas!

[@MSLATONJA]

Oh wow! This is so awesome. Church is not like this anymore. I remember everything I did when I was growig up was surrounded around church and going out to sing!

[@lisaballard1114]

In the early 80s I went to a chruch name greater faith ,it was on Plymouth the pastor name was lenoard Lyons I think Larry was our choir director at the time smh what a voice this singing is good

[@rashonts]

[@bessieberry8004]

Bro. Larry Edwards, I so glad to see this, you are one of the greats, you poured into us all in the New Creation Christian Center choir back in the day, I thank you and I love and appreciate you! Sis Bessie Cook Berry.

[@LoudTenorReg]

[@davidbrock5137]

I will forever remember the T.W.C. To keep Tommy's music alive. He had a Spiritually radiant music ministry to me. We use to talk all the time. I use to help the group out . Thank God for the memory of Tommy!

[@deantwaynehall6831]

Saaaaaang Uncle Larry Edwards!

[@jazzlife1]

This brings back memories living in Detroit, these young musicians don't know good music.

[@orpheusblack67]

That's the closest to Donny Hathaway I have heard in a minute...! Thanks for the post!

[@AnthonyMarkT]

HA! I wish I could find that old tape! I used to have it and went to bed at night with my ear to the boom box...remember what those were? lol Whitfield is one of my all-time favorites. His music had an impact that will never go away. This song especially speaks right to the heart! YEAH! Praise him!

[@musicgirl78]

You don't hear choirs that sound like this anymore..such a classic sound. Has anyone posted "I'm encouraged"?

[@Ms1outlaw]

I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS DONE BY HIM FIRST!!! WOW!!! i guess the saying is true....ain't nothing new under the sun.....

[@ToshaWarrenTalks]

i love the soloist. men dont sing gospel like that anymore. daryl coley style!

[@teflo2]

Amaaan!!

[@teflo2]

The Whitfield Company is STILL sanging like that! Their 40th Anniversary Concert was crazy! Just crazy praise!

[@itsdynomyte]

Oh wow...I remember this like yesterday, Civic Auditorium, Cleveland, OH, 1986, I drove through a snowstorm to get there. There were a few jheri curls casted out that nite.

[@MSLATONJA]

oh my gosh! You just gave me a massive flashback. I used to sing with 2nd Ebenezer Youth Chorale in the 80's when we won the gospel fest at Hart Plaza. I grew up going to everything that those choirs you named gave.

[@kelvinbrooks9588]

Awesome voice.

[@JacquiDaughteroftheKing]

All I Need is JESUS...sing Larry!

[@mrshughes3344dd]

My favorite song...

[@rpurpose]

Thanks so much for this amazing footage. As a musician who loves Gospel music.. I have patterned my style after Whitfield... my first time to actually see footage.. have all kids of sheet music and cds but now footage ... is just amazing...

[@ashleyjohnson9556]

Still hear in 2022 holding onto God’s unchanging hand!!!!!

[@returnofthemack8347]

This man sang this songgggggg. I wish I knew who this man was because he has one or the best voices I ever heard.

[@organplaya]

His name is Larry Edwards.

[@returnofthemack8347]

Thank you!!!!

[@okebaram]

Great! Halfway through the video, the sopranos are now loud and blending LOL! The choir sounds even better now that they showed up.

[@DanaProctor]

Man this is the Thomas Whitfield & Company LIVE AT THE CIVIC AUTOTORIUM ALBUM. a Gospel Choir CLASSIC. (Man my mama gave me this Cassette for my birthday a few months ago, It's truly off chain. (the whole Tape I mean)

[@KMMJKR]

THIS IS AWESOME THANKS FOR THIS!!!

[@michaeldavio]

Still one of the greatest choirs.

[@blackman4121]

@teflo2 I feel the SAME way!!!!! Did a choir workshop last week and this was one of the songs that I chose to do.... AMEN!!!

[@theVeeAye]

2020 💪🏿 all I need 💯

[@thejbfactory5793]

My wish is to go back to my times with Tommy and the Company and stay right there. Everything since then has been anti climactic. Tommy ruined me for life.

[@JacquiDaughteroftheKing]

All I need is to b wrapped up, tied up, tangled up n JESUS!

[@HobsonMediaGroup]

Bro Larry on Lead, use to listen to him every Sunday at New Creation Christian Center. With that voice, should have been one of the greats in the gospel world

[@organplaya]

AMEN TO THAT, MY FRIEND.

[@SeriouslyFocused]

@leroyfj I love this!!!!! Leaves no questions to ask

[@h313w]

man I gotta say, Larry killed that joint. I ain' mad if they do MORE than the album :)

[@8315dbird]

U got to keep in mind the sound person has to know to balance out the parts, if the sound man doesn't really know the singers, or group they r pretty much in the dark till they figure it out. Especially in a large auditorium..

[@theoneandonly09]

Hes the truth on that piano

[@jcashtr02]

One of the greatest to ever do it...

[@h313w]

wow the guitarist. miss him

[@bjstix]

That's right tyhutson08! I love this kind of gospel music and it just makes you feel closer to Jesus and it makes you feel holy! It does something to you on the inside, can I get a wittness!!!

[@aar41093]

What an awesome anointing. this was a dynamic concert. the memories are flooding my soul. thank you once again for posting this!

[@returnofthemack8347]

Sopranos mic needs turning up but lordddddddd this man was sanginggggg. I was over here yelling at the screen

[@ilmatic35]

My God my God... this song is truly amazing****

[@LoudTenorReg]

this is amazing....tw and twc...flawless and ANNOITED!!!!!!

[@edwar360]

thats my uncle Larry Edwards on the lead vocals...yes Unc

[@supersimpson550]

I love this song!

[@itsdynomyte]

Yes both of those songs are on the release Hallelujah Anyhow. They are starting to put these on CDs, I transferred from cassette to CD.

[@justdfbc]

Sing doc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a range!!!!!!!!!!

[@professorlip]

Does anyone have Whitfield singing "Dear Jesus" or Soon as "I Get Home"? I know that this may start something, but Whitfield was to the 80's what James Hall was to the 90's. They both added a level of musical prowess that was not seen by most to the choir scene.

[@troymarkee955]

No comparison...

[@realladylike]

he killed it

[@ioxxd90]

Yes indeed

[@TOAYES]

Great song. Someone post "I Shall Wear a Crown."

[@Daniela-bu4vb]

❤❤❤

[@therealkpeworldwide]

Timeless 30 plus years after his last full company project we are still sweating over musical and choral arrangements plus if you mess around…it’ll take you in. Ha ha ha…

[@Destinn3000]

Lol I feel you Bruh!

[@wepopalot]

Actually John did an arrangment of that song. Brother Joe Mays did it originaly, more than 50 years ago

[@eddieholmes6875]

Yes!

[@tjmuzix]

Hello Ms Bartee, Do you still have this taping? I would love to see the entire concert.

[@mysticman07]

what an mastro!does anyone have "jesus gave his all by thomas whitfield?

[@realladylike]

amen i love this song that man on the other video sounded a mess

[@teflo2]

@blackman4121 You made an awesome and anointed choice. Did y'all tear up the chairs in rehearsal? Been there, done that! Had an employee bring me some paperwork during rehearsal. Choir members were running up and down the hall. He asked me if we always did that. I told him "If he only knew".

[@mrhammondb3]

@Ms1outlaw actually thomas intoduced the song to the neworleans gospel soulchildren first on there 3rd album then he recorded it with his group after

[@niqulusviii987]

Wow, I guess that's why my new Orleans family knew it so well when we sung it for altar call lol!

[@okebaram]

I can't hear the sopranos! But the choir sounds great noneheless. Imagine how nice they would sound if their sopranos were loud enough.

[@capenmi]

[@organplaya]

HEY EVERYONE ! ! ! ! don't forget to click the stars under the video screen. thanks

[@jnbjproductions]

[@organplaya]

Did Larry pass away????

[@professorlip]

I have the songs on CDs. I was looking for videos on youtube. Appreciate the heads up, though.

[@professorlip]

Yes sirrrr! That was the jam. But I don't think he recorded that with the Whitfield Company though. Whom did he record that with? Also, his Christmas CD was way ahead of its time.

[@UncleDuTheWatchman]

Look at Volley!

[@h313w]

[@Morrie1986]

Play that piano Min. Whitfield!

[@edwar360]
