About 15 years ago I was in a Dollar General in SC and they were playing this kind of music overhead and I didn't want to leave.

My dad played the heck out of this song when I was growing up. This is real Gospel music here.

[@chaplaintaylor2327]

God morning, my dad played these albums for me when I was young. It never grows old.

[@jackpalance9509]

You had a good Dad. He steered you down the good road musically. I found Gospel Genre later in life. During Pandemic I found these guys and many others. Big Henry Johnson sure had a charisma to him. Same with the Rev. Julius Cheeks.

[@jddrew1000]

The Blind Boys and the Barrett Sisters!!! Gospel royalty! What a treat!!!

[@jackpalance9509]

That's who the women are? The Barrett Sisters? Thank you. Really like Big Henry Johnson in this video. Outside of him I'd go with Bob Washington and the Rev. Julius Cheeks.

[@mariolbanks]

Give me just about any gospel person/group from the 1950s and 1960s!!! They were all making it happen in some very trying and unjust times. Glory to God!

[@56lighthouse]

By the grace of the LORD, this great worship style has been preserved.

[@elizabethilling9387]

Thank you so much for posting the Boys. They are such a blessing in these rough times. Awesome worship with rhythm.

[@loranedavid6550]

I went to every record store in Houston during the 80s and 90s to find their albums. I love their music.

[@oliverfurr210]

One of the best gospel groups of all time

I was talking with Lyod Woodard when he fell in 1975 and later he went to stay with the Lord but he did a prayer that day that went straight to heaven I will never forget that prayer

[@terriepugh7037]

I think of my Dad when I listen to them.

[@dukemasengana]

I first heard this from my late friend, Archiebald Muthuphei Kgabo. (RIP), I loved the rhythm without even understanding the words, but later I gradually understood the words, and we spent a long time playing these tunes, not even talking, just listening, enjoying praise and worship, our hearts tapping into the spiritual music for hours nonend. Classical music, beautiful souls. 🇿🇦🔥✝️

[@usmcbrat2]

Hallelujah! They're filled with the spirit. Does anyone know the name of the girl's choir singing with them?

I’m assuming Archie Brownlee had passed before this video? My grandfather introduced me to his leading The Five Blind Boys of Mississippi.

[@RobHutten]

So this lineup is Big Henry Johnson, Lloyd Woodard, Jimmy Carter (then James Watts), J. T. Clinkscales (I think?) and... I can't place the fifth gent. Anyone know?

[@jddrew1000]

Rev. Willie Mincey, 2nd lead/high tenor

What a fellowship, what a joy divine Leaning on the everlasting arms; What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, Leaning on the everlasting arms Leaning, leaning Safe and secure from all alarms Leaning, leaning Leaning on the everlasting arms. 2 O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, Leaning on the everlasting arms O how bright the path grows from day to day Leaning on the everlasting arms ***************** (In sheetmusic registered in 1887*) 3.

Unfortunately the democrat party has succeeded in not only taking the black man out of the home, but they have thereby also taken the black man out of the church. Sad times indeed.

[@RevSinkiller]

It wasn't the Democrats, it was capitalism and the propagation of "contemporary gospel" starting with Kirk Franklin. That has suckered the soul out of gospel music. Otherwise, don't believe the hype about black men not being in the church. It's the Republicans and the white church that has seen a decline in recent years.
