Ring Them Bells - First Call

[@randyanglin]

thanks to whoever posted this video. 3 incredible singers, amazing vocal arrangements and stunning choices in material made First Call one of the most original acts in Christian music history. They filled a niche in contemporary Christian music that is completely unique. There aren't quite enough superlatives to describe this dazzling trio's musical repertoire.

Wow! Incredible performance of an exceptional song by Bob Dylan!!

I saw First Call live years ago. Their harmonies are amazing! I recommend (if you've never heard it) their song "Evidence of Love"

[@bowiesaid]

love to watch you sing. You give it your all. It shows.

I know the synth stuff makes it sound dated, BUT -- my bro was touring with a small group one summer out of his university, and they did this arrangement. To be more accurate, they kept the awesome vocal arrangement and only used acoustical instruments (none of the synthy stuff!). I got goosebumps every time I heard it.

Bob Dylan from Oh Mercy 1989

Great song, couldn't understand the sign language though or are they directing traffic?

[@JellieBeanieMamma]

Very nice! It would be stunning with real piano background. Heart did an amazing version too. Any chance you have it?

[@aldoangeloni4221]

Going all the way back to "Blowing In The Wind" by Peter, Paul,& Mary it seems that a number of groups have outdone Bob Dylan on his own songs. "Mr. Tambourine Man" by the Byrds, "All Along The Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix and this one by First Call. (I do understand there's more) Dylan did write them though...you can't come up with these arrangements without a great song to start with.

Maybe I'm a little prejudiced, not to mention the one of members is a friend from college, I've heard many versions of this song, including Bob Dylan's, but First Call's version is the best by far.

[@nikkivenable73]

Inquiring minds….which one was your friend?

[@russgrunert4730]

Love the s o ng, but why is Marabeth the blonde imitating a steam locomotive?

[@markh.2091]

I can only guess (with having seen them in concert) that they have a whole choreography worked out and they were trying their best to stand there still, without the choreography. I believe Bonnie is the blonde and Marabeth is the brunette. I could be wrong. I LOVE this song! Their harmony is perfect. A well-done rendition of Bob Dylan’s work!

[@lee-lee2418]

​@@markh.2091right! Bonnie is blonde.

Fair. Good, actually. But what the hell is going on with yours hands? It's like you're trying to invoke the powers of Chonos with your weird hand gestures. I was not aware that this was part of some kind of occult incantation.

[@sjdenning1]

Don't do in front of audience or camera but it's a thing as a vocalist to do weird things like that for imagery, support etc

Why are those women practicing Karate when they sing?
