Richard Smallwood & Vision - Psalms 8

[@praisehymn247]

Richard Smallwood IS the best artist ever. I love his music! Charisse, you are such a blessing!

[@miskittt]

Richard's original release of this song is the reason I even like gospel music today. As a teenager, I could not stand gospel music, and then they played this song on WVON. I've never been the same since. God bless you Richard Smallwood.

I get chills whenever Charrisse sings!!! and not just now...from as long as i could remember. her singing really touches me in a special way. Keep singing for JESUS Charrisse!!! keep touching lives. God bless you. God bless you.

[@mrsrayndolph]

Charisse Nelson-McIntosh is the best soloist I know for the Richard Smallwood Singers...Bless the Lord!

[@kabedim]

I just love this vocalist. She is soooo anointed. She always manages to connect me to her ministry of song.

[@juremamunix]

Every time I hear this song I feel the Holy Spirit spoke to me showing me the size of my God and me that despite being just dust he loves me with a love of the same size, then start to cry!

What can I say ?? He's just my GOD!!!!!!!!

[@Kobzar3374]

Amen, sister! You know I come from Spain, and I worked for a couple of years as a research fellow at Indiana University. I joined the African American Choral Ensemble (no kidding, and I was not the only white European there). It was an amazing experience from the musical, personal, and spiritual points of view. We sang this song. By the end of the performance I could see some of the tenors crying. Peace!

@LaRue1212 - All praise and glory and honour to the LORD

[@DigitalDezinesCEO]

I love all of your vids esp. this one. And lol at these captions!

[@GloryaDios]

great song wonderfull

[@brian_bk_keith]

I love this song and i just noticed the captions lol

[@gplus46]

@okebaram There is, at least one split between the tenors at the 2nd "oh lord"

[@johnnybutler2704]

@gplus46 Yes, you're right. There is a split on the word 'Lord'. One voice has the 'D' and one is a major 2nd below on Middle C.

[@PrazHymn83]

@2010Pianogirl I don't know about singing, but he's one of the best piano players in the DC area....Jeff Corry

[@PrazHymn83]

Sure, I'd be honored.

[@babeboi5]

There is a group o guys in chicago that sang that song OOOOOOOOHH GOD! thery really sang that song! they are call the Brethren !

[@okebaram]

@gplus46 There may be four parts (baritones). But sometimes, some low-pitch instruments sound like another part.

[@gplus46]

At 2:38 when the full choir goes into "Oh Lord," is that a split in the tenor parts? I hear the altos and a note just under the alto note and then a lower note. Or is it just me?

[@PrazHymn83]

LOLOL! I just added those today. I thought they were kinda funny.

[@LaRue1212]

I love the dialogue bubbles... wish you had more of them (not overkill, though... maybe one per minute or minute and a half? LOL). And also can you put "w/ bubbles" in the description so I'll know to look for them when I see your vids? LOL!! I'm LOLing, but I'm kinda serious. :-) Oh and one last thing: CHARISSE ROCKS!!!!! Whew!!!

[@PrazHymn83]

@LaRue1212 LOLOL!!! I'll see what I can do! I'm glad you like them. I thought they were nice and some of them were pretty funny like "when do I play?!" LOL!!!! Be blessed!!

[@JovitaSmith77]

@PrazHymn83 I'm not sure about that particular part, but I know there are some parts where there are 4 parts sung. I just taught this to my choir from the sheet music and there are a few splits throughout the song.

[@johnnybutler2704]

@kireiichi Look online at any sheet music site, and look under Richard Smallwood, for the songbook to 'Persuaded: Live in DC'

[@JustVIBEitOUT]

lol the "when do i play caption" LOLOL

[@leslove1]

Its amazing how you compared richard smallwood to Tekken tag tournament... But yes, God is good.

[@brentduanefoster]

You silly for that caption, dude!!

[@PrazHymn83]

What makes it so tricky?

[@Mjamaal74]

lol "when do i play" i didn't c that coming

[@victorvavb]

@2010Pianogirl I agree :D

[@pianoboy01]

@NiaSoul01 is there a way you can send me the sheet music for psalms 8.

[@wyldetdp]

@slwolfe73 AMEN!

[@SingingLover17]

Isn't this song a remake?

[@PrazHymn83]

@msindymusic Raymond Reeder

[@SheliyahMasry]

@2010Pianogirl yeah I agree you can see the vibrato, I'm sure he has a great voice (plus big lungs lol)

[@Poppie6989]

[@kingdombread]

tenors!!!! awesome!! yesss! awesome! To GOD b all the glorrrraaayyy!
