Sing A Song For Heaven's Sake - Full Movie - 1966

[@adamsmith4195]

This should be in a museum. Blast from the past.

[@amandafontaine9441]

The Imperials doing Southern Gospel!!! This movie was made the year I was born, so I enjoyed seeing the best in gospel for that year. A social commentary, the African-American choir was shown in studio, as "mixed worship" would have been awkward then. But kudos that they were included in the movie, they were amazing!

[@glenntroyer]

I love this music. Going to quick download the video before KZbin pulls it down. I have no idea why they would but I am sure something somewhere could offend someone. What an upside down world we live in.

[@dhansel4835]

Jump to time line 15:22 and look at the expression on that man. He doesn't look like he belongs. In editing they should have cut that part out.

[@jimmyholloway2874]

What a presentation ! Mr. Red Foley was a first time for me. My emotions were somewhat soggy, what a trip ! From weeping to joyous memories, can’t wait for church tomorrow ! We’ve lost so many of these performers. Can’t wait to look them up one fine day.

[@davidcoyle1084]

There's some interesting Hank Williams connections here. Red Foley sang "Peace In The Valley" at Hank's funeral in 1952. Hank originally recorded the recitation Red does at the end, under the title "The Funeral," released under Hank's alias Luke The Drifter. In addition, the minister who introduces the acts is played by Merle Kilgore, who was longtime manager of Hank Williams Jr., and played himself in the 1979 TV movie about Hank Jr.'s life.

Thank you so much for posting this beautiful collection of gospel tunes! Blooper alert at the 4:04 mark. The entire plot of the movie is that the Tollivers are late for the concert. Yet when the film cuts from the concerned woman outside on the steps to the inside of the church, you can see Mrs. Tolliver and her errant son already seated in the front row.

Not to take anything from the movie, but nothing about it was "recorded live." Notice how many of the songs have full accompaniment, yet except for a couple of instances, there's only a piano or guitar on stage. On one song at least you see a guy playing piano, yet what you hear is an organ.

I loved the authentic Southern accents of that time. Even the children on the show. Our Southern accents aren't quite as pronounced now. Mainly because of television, I suppose. But I love the Alabama accents. It was a good show but there was no plot or ending.

This is a time capsule of the people who lived long enough to be cherry-picked by Bill Gaither, who only chose the best in the world. If you watch Gaither Vocal Band videos you will recognise a lot of 20 yr younger versions of the GVB. This is actually a magnificent recording of the beginnings of this music
