Pastor Shirley Caesar did. An excellent job and I commend her I salute her -She looks good !

[@Robby_SouthFlorida]

⁠@@valeriewhite3189 i thought she looked a little confused or maybe the choir was because they didn’t know what direction she was going with song selections. Also, I think it’s important for gospel artists to consider the family members when singing at funerals that’s it’s not a concert nor a live recording. Be respectful to the family and consider the time frame and those coordinating the funeral. Time out for 3 hour funerals. We tired. Let’s lay the body in the ground already🙏

Pastor Shirley Caesar knew the assignment and accepted the challenge. Pastor Shirley Caesar has been walking with God all her life and who are we to judge how God moves through her to get a message to his loved ones, family, and friends. To God be the Glory. Pastor Shirley Caesar knows a who's who in the gospel field and if she was invited to speak they had a very good reason for having her there. Rip man of God.

Thank God she showed up to respectfully honor him. This choir and musicians appear to be from a much younger generation. The songs did not appear to be rehearsed, and she had to finally select an easier song so that everyone could catch on. All things considered, the Bishop transitioned to heaven the very second he passed. With a highly anointed and unique voice such as his, he could sing and minister among the best of the best. He ain't mad, so why should we be?

[@JustCoraSharice]

That choir is the best choir in Greensboro, NC. If everyone knew the back story, they would know that the choir was low key "set-up". They were told they wouldn't have to sing behind Shirley prior to the service. So they were not prepared. Plus the sound/ mics were off. But yeah check them out New Jerusalem Cathedral GSO.

My prayers are with the family and the body of Christ to mature and be perfected!

I love Pastor Shirley Ceasar. She is a trailblazer in the Gospel Music Industry. Some people feel like and commented that they feel like shes missing it or slipping. Pastor Ceasar has been doing this longer than some of us have been alive. Trust me, those songs and everything are ingrained in her. This generation today couldn't take the pressure she would put on people in rehearsal or the embarrassment she would unleash in a performance. I salute Pastor Shirley Ceasar. Bishop Kervy Brown loved Pastor Shirley Ceasar, and i know if he had been here, he would be pushing her to go ahead or be right with her singing and praising. You were honored well and saluted Bishop Brown.

[@christhomas5761]

Shirley knew Kervy for many years and plus she`s lost several people very close to her almost back to back ... She`s a strong woman but this had to be very hard to do , she took her time and paused on and off but she pushed through. Also it didn`t help that most of the choir didn`t know the songs therefore not able to properly follow her so she was kind of left hanging .

[@bevkuhnowski2067]

I was trying to figure out how the two gentlemen in the choir stand were going to sing with the mask 😷 on. lol 😂

[@athorpe630]

She kind of over did it. There were so many other singers and things that had went on that weekend. I can only imagine the family being exhausted and then Pastor Shirley giving a mini concert at a funeral. That was a little to much and to long on the family. I remember how exhausted we were when my mom passed and she was a Evangelist.

[@JayDrewGWP]

If y'all stop assuming and were actually paying attention, I'm sure she hinted that the choir was not heard in sound system, hence why she was stalling.

[@phinehasmosley6845]

Yep

[@stevenvoid]

They were not heard because they never turned the mics on. They were not suppose to sing with her. I know that for a fact.

[@JayDrewGWP]

@stevenvoid Highly doubt that. Nobody EVER puts Shirley on a program without her singing, and if it's not a different song, it's usually "Sweeping Through The City."
