Powerful voice Paul Foster's got!!

[@gerwynevans2729]

This is precious footage, thanks for uploading.

[@Demij77]

I grew up on this music, I’m a huge Soul Stirrers fan and of course MR. SAM COOKE👏🏾😍!

[@Juliaethel]

Thank you Lord for the old songs.

[@deloreswillis9224]

Hallelujah lord

[@duvessa2003]

What?!? Only 928 LIKES??? How is that possible? Even if you only have a faint heartbeat this is gonna’ bring you to your feet! Much respect & appreciation.

[@bjrussell]

AMEN!!!!!

[@frankpatterson767]

Paul foster Was a beast on the mic I see jimmy outler in the background

[@Ckillen2422]

Yes he was... when Sam Cooke came on board, the song nearer to the live, Paul was about to take the lead. Powerful singer.

[@giovanna722]

​@@Ckillen2422 He's fantastic. He can raise the roof.

[@HaliB75]

@@Ckillen2422Paul was pushing Sam, acting like the wind in his back! 😂❤

[@darkfeather6857]

What happened to this beautiful, pure music? I wish we would go back to this, just good singing, hand clapping, and simple instruments, and singers that don't scale the whole piano with every single verse.

[@giovanna722]

Good singing? It's fantastic! The syncopation alone! Paul Foster is a marvel.

[@LastTrump7]

When people lost the anointing in the singing and playing even just the clapping they had to find something to replace that. As we see today where most gospel and churches are at there is no substitution for the real presence of God.

[@vernestachristopher5929]

This is the music we ALL NEED TO go back to listening to because their hearts and souls were ALL ABOUT PRAISING GOD and HIS RULES TO GET TO HEAVEN❣️ I TOTALLY LOVE THE SOUL STIRRERS AND ALL OF THE OLD SCHOOL GOSPEL MUSIC 🎶

[@gll1492]

They are really good . thank god.

[@deloreswillis9224]

R.i.p. Paul Foster 1920-1995

[@soundplatinum1]

The One and Only Rev. Big Paul Foster!

[@philodonoghue3062]

You can hear where 60s soul came out of - and why it was called ‘soul’.

[@giovanna722]

Amen.

[@claudiomatera7211]

This stuff has the power to put a smile on any living creature- independently from your religious beliefs

[@ReelinInTheYears66]

I agree 100% as I am not remotely religious but love this type of gospel it has so much soul.

[@jojpoter5176]

Yeah Lord , travel on pilgrims 🥲✝️🙏🎶 singing on the way

[@DerekCastleSr.]

Everyone always puts that disclaimer about regardless of your religion. This music is doused in the blood of Christ. Like it or not.

[@koko-pu5vn]

@@DerekCastleSr. Yes!! If this music doesn't bring you closer to the Lord Almighty and his son Jesus Christ there is something wrong with you!!

[@kevinstewart8876]

Yessuh!

[@raveagainstracism]

As much as I love gospel music on a sunday morning, that is some proper guitar playing

[@beatriceclark581]

Jimmy outler had a beautiful voice,all of them❤❤❤

[@mickiyelly1960]

I love it and I listen to vintage gospel almost exclusively. That's singing!

[@hallofame404]

Awesome. Thanks for uploading and reminding our new generation of our history through Jesus Christ. Praises to YHWH Most High!

[@duvessa2003]

Powerful enough to make a convert of the greatest doubter.

I'd take this any day over the ridiculous crap they call pop music nowadays

LISTEN TO THE ANGELS SING!! JIMMY OUTLER!❤✔

[@chookstersshed5556]

This absolutely mind blowing incredible, they need to start bringing all this music gospel blues back and into peoples lives for healing especially what’s going on on the earth these days..what voices what delivery & just check out the dude on the es-335 that’s one of the best sounding gibsons I’ve ever heard, the tone and the feel…seriously it’s real goes straight to the soul…

[@3fsw3]

Great music and a greater message!

[@MissPamR]

The power of stomping your feet and clapping your hands. There’s nothing better than it!

[@npol024]

Woah, it's the whole show - thanks for uploading! Now all we need is to find at least ONE video of Sam with the group (None on KZbin as of this writing). There's got to be a film cannister in Chicago or LA buried down in some basement.

[@idrawstudios87]

I've been looking for that for years

[@npol024]

​@@idrawstudios87 I spent a few hours in the Recorded Sound Research Center at the Library of Congress a few years ago, but had no such luck. They could very well have something, but a ton of their stuff is sitting in a bomb-proof facility in VA; items are poorly-labeled and only get digitized upon request, so, needle in a haystack. There are whispers of a guy in Chicago who has a trove of old Gospel videos, but refuses to digitize them for personal reasons. That seems like the best shot.

[@donberry4803]

I do know this was after Sam Cooke left the group I don't recall ever seeing a video I've looked for years and all I found was a two live audios recordings

[@AdelChamsdine]

Ive got many footages of Sam, message me I’ll we transfer them

[@marcfoy8021]

Looking at this rare footage of the only gospel quartet group in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame; that Sam Cooke with the Soul Stirrers was never filmed? Unbelievable!

[@lapsedaltruist5673]

And when they hooked up with Sam Cooke it was gospel magic.

[@robertwaldrop7847]

Paul Foster and Jimmie Outler ARE gospel music. They were bad dudes before AND after Sam Cooke.

My late Mother always referred to Paul Foster as , 'Big ' Paul Foster. I prefer to call him the 'Human Singing Machine!'

[@verawort893]

Für mich sind und bleiben die Sänger/ Gruppen der 50er/ 60er Jahre die besten aller Zeiten. Da stand die Musik im Vordergrund, perfekte Harmonien die in direkt ins Herz gehen. Heute reicht es aus nett auszusehen, auf der Bühne turnen und paar Töne treffen. Kaum einer bleibt in Erinnerung.... aber The Soul Stirrers , Elvis, Sam Cooke, Jacky Wilson etc werden nie vergessen ❤
