The Edwin Hawkins singers TV Special

Here the Original singers in a 1971 tv special enjoy it !

[@rachellebrinkley969]

My daddy is the one leading "Go Tell It on the Mountain". This is my first time seeing this and it brought tears to my eyes to see my family so young and just starting out. I remember all of the stories my mom and dad tell me when they were traveling with first "The Hebrew Boys" and then "The Hawkins singers". I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!!!!!

[@dr.j.1561]

Rachelle Brinkley great voice!

[@gingerbread1231]

Rachelle, Can you tell us who is singing lead on all the songs? Thanks

[@martymca1]

Oh my. So happy you got to see this!

[@rosepierce9370]

Wonderful legacy! We will worship forever in the presence and glory of God!!!💐❤

[@ty22baller]

@Richelle Brinkley yes mom! I show this to my friends all the time to show how talented my grandpa is

[@jmusic45]

RIP Edwin Hawkins....You brought a lot of great music.

[@chevydude658]

I have been watching this for hours and hours. They WREAK of class! No gimmicks. No light shows. No smoke machine. Just TALENT. Connecting with the audience. We have a lot of "gospel" singers that can't connect with audiences and do not care about ministering to people. I'd take this any day.

[@dr.j.1561]

ChevyDude65 truth!

[@ty22baller]

That’s my grandpa singing he’s got the whole world I’m his hands!

[@JamesUdell]

Any day!

[@vangoghmatisse1]

THE HAWKINS REVOLUTIONIZED GOSPEL MUSIC!!!! WE OWE THEM SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU LORD FOR THEM!!!!

[@busta815]

I can't thank you enough!!!! Tramaine and Walter Hawkins singing "Ain't it Like Him" is astounding!

[@b4divine19]

Condolences to the Hawkins family from mine, the Church Families of the earth....As a young child, " Oh Happy Day " had a profound effect on me. I carry that song in my heart Always, I believe that Edwin will be commissioned to have that song playing at the pearly gates for all of Jesus children when it's time to come home......Rest in peace, let your sleep be sweet until that day of rapture......Good Night.

[@jesseporter5984]

This is classic Edwin Hawkins music. There are few that can match this for pure Gospel expression.

[@jesseporter5984]

Yeah, I saw this a few months ago and it blew my mind.!

[@dellitaogunsola9544]

Yes, indeed it is. That's my generation!

[@ty22baller]

That’s my grandpa singing with Edwin Hawkins!

[@athorpe630]

The First Family of Gospel Choir Music. I was raised on this music and as a musician had to learn to play it.And I enjoyed every moment.

[@rubygregory7701]

Singing now in the Heavenly Choir, thank you Lord for sharing Walter and Edwin with us.

[@rubygregory7701]

Walter and Tramaine made it look so easy.

[@britishlad5648]

Shirley Miller, WOW!!!

[@adrina911]

tramaine and walter was so young!

[@ladynfsoffice]

TOTALLY PRICELESS! Thank you SO much for posting this clip...at the time this was considered "Contemporary" Gospel Music of which Dr. Edwin Hawkins was notorious for so expertly arranging and writing with the Flavors of Music that influenced him. The Mix of Gospel, Jazz, Blues, Pop, and much more is WONDERFUL! ♫♪♫♪ Blessings ♥

[@dct1996]

That version of “I Believe” (especially the vamp) just takes me somewhere else! Those harmonies!

[@Zubato]

Does anyone have a list of all the singers in this special ? It is pure talent without all the showy stuff. Pure gold.

[@soulbrother34]

Thank you so much for putting the whole concert without interruption on here, I know you all put this up sometime last year in pieces, but to see it like this is awesome...Post more from the Edwin Hawkins Singers Soon!!!!!

[@dallaskenn]

The greatness of the Edwin Hawkins Singers is that they broke the 'glass ceiling' cultivating millions of fans the world over religious and secular. To this day, as then, their fans remain predominately secular.Ut regnabit in saecula saeculorum!

[@dallaskenn]

(1.16.17) Peace Be Upon Edwin Hawkins. He was the innovative GENIUS of Gospel Music.

[@celestematthews3266]

Beautiful I love to see family stick together like this.

[@euphrates556]

Fantastic. The Hawkins Family, the first family of gospel. Classic. Thanks for uploading.

[@britishlad5648]

Fabulous Pianist!!! "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands!!!"

[@britishlad5648]

Shirley Miller, soloist!!!

[@apprilleh]

All so young! Bishop is 22 here! Edwin 28 and Tremaine just 20! They literally did music ministry all their lives!

[@raulmateo8306]

RIP Edwin Hawkins, just heard of your passing, Now you are FACE TO FACE WITH THE ALMIGHTY ETERNAL GOD, IN GLORY-LAND, HALLELUYAH

[@jlove4life886]

Love Tramaine & Walter! Truth: That's Just like Jesus!!!

[@ambiencelight7640]

#PraisetheLord ♥️I believe the Hawkins singers are "Phonemial"

[@rochellenelson6132]

Andrea...that duet consist of none other than the Infamous Tramaine and Walter Hawkins! OMG! Can you even do the math and let your mind wrap around how many years they have been singing the Lord's Praises! !

[@andreadavit]

[@sjcii8166]

Can't believe those folks in the audience don't know how to clap in time the rhythm isn't that difficult

[@Onlyone-m6f]

Haha I said the samething.. I was like c'mon lol... That shows how professional they are as singers and musicians to stay on beat when everyone else is off. Surprise he didn't pull a Mahalia Jackson and tell them to clap right haha..

[@trey341]

[@eugeniahenderson2471]

Their Music, Original Gospel Classics will ....go down in History, NEVER....To Be Forgotten 😔😔 Thank you🙏🏾🙏🏾 4/3/2020

[@elderrondyfleming6162]

Enjoyable concert. I can see how Walter had so much hair for the cover of his Love Alive 1 & 2 albums...it had been growing since 1971! Drummer was definitely not Joel Smith. Bongo player played his little heart out, but accompanied music rather well.

[@leighhawkins3869]

Elder Rondy Fleming

[@elderrondyfleming6162]

Leigh Hawkins ...yes?

[@johntmusic543]

This is the best singing I've ever heard in my life feel like I'm heaven praise the lord

[@kevseb66]

Look at Tramaine when she was so young. She literally does not age. She's still stunningly gorgeous today.

[@JamesUdell]

I see some familiar family friends’ faces. I can’t get enough of the Hawkins and Crouch early years stuff!

[@barbarahill6751]

This was an enjoyable concert ,sorry i;m just getting to play it all the way through Elaine is on fire.praise the lord.

[@andreadavit]

Hi, Someone can tell me the names of the singers of the duet? I love classic gospel music of 60-70!! pure energy!

[@brentduanefoster]

Andrea Davit Walter and Tramaine Hawkins. They were married at that time.

[@benji7587]

Thank you so very much for sharing this video with us! The Singing and Spiritual Uplifting effect that this song and performance has for me is second to none, however, I would be amiss if I didn't point out that the "Original" Immortal lead singer on "Oh Happy Day" was none other than Platinum vocals of Ms. Dorothy Morrison.

[@melodysanger103]

HAPPY 73RD BIRTHDAY EDWIN HAWKINS (AUGUST 18, 2016)

[@piustwelfth]

The lead singer is Dorothy Combs Morrison who is still performing (2024) in the SF Bay Area and around the world.

[@Dlwinborne]

Each of these singers can equally be a part of the chorus, as well as lead a song. They are amazingly talented! Absolutely Sublime!

[@minnieciaminniewinston9064]

Hello Jazzsingers, can you let me know where this footage is from? We are hoping to license the footage for a documentary film about Edwin Hawkins. Please respond when you can, it would be a huge help.

[@sunshineyears]

spencer i. wilkinson good luck on the documentary. We can’t wait.

[@sunshineyears]

Oh I see this comment was 2 years ago. Is the documentary out yet please?

Whatever happened to Elaine Kelly?

[@christhomas5761]

Last I heard, Sister Elaine Kelly was doing fine and works in outreach at the church she attends... She also attended Edwin Hawkin`s funeral service when he passed away a few years ago.

[@olivierlouisjeanbarry3540]

Confederate graves must be transfered to Arlington lee property because Lee was a a man of duties, family and principles for the american people who suffered too much. Errors of the past must not come back because freedom is the free circulation of advices between the american people to make him strong for this wild land but domisticated by the american people with sacrifice thoughout the world. Love

[@eugeniahenderson2471]

Thank you to the Walter Hawkins 🙏 an Tremaine Hawkins Edward Hawkins. For putting this video out. I was raised on this holy gospel 🙌 music this was the true meaning 🙌 of praising Jesus 🙌.
