Thomas Whitfield and Company All I Need Pt. 2

[@EMWBOI07]

Truly Thomas Whitfield was ahead of his time and his chords was ahead of its time. He was one of the greatest men in Gospel Music. Nothing like Detroit Gospel. One historical note: He produced and did the music for Vannessa Bell Armstrong's 1st Album "PEACE BE STILL" which is still a classic album.

[@Whtmt]

Tommy did not have to beat that piano up like that! MY GOD! He's still the GREATEST!!!!!!!!!!

[@rashonts]

That MAN BETTER SING!!!!! That's a LEAD! not too much, not too little...Classic hits like these flat out don't get wrote anymore.

[@itsdynomyte]

OMG...I was at this recording, Clevelaned, OH...I took 3 RTA buses through snow to get to the Civic Auditorium for this recording...I was 16, my parents put me on punishment for a month, I didn't care. Wow...this is legendary video!

[@anthonygrant3750]

Looking back, you had no idea that he would pass away so young. It’s amazing that you got to see him and his choir.

[@prettyboinelly2193]

What was the year when u saw this?

[@sheilafields4067]

That's amazing I was somewhere around that time card this song confirmed my love for the MOST HIGH YAH AND HIS LOVE AND SCRIFICRF

[@melliemel32]

You got in trouble for going to hear the Gospel? Bless your geart…I pray you have lived it all these years too!

[@ndflossy]

i still MISS THOMAS WHITFIELD!!!!! he was the TRUTH!!!!

[@wardsnow5040]

As a native of THE "D". I am forever a GOSPEL MUSICIAN and PREACHER from the COGIC and FIRST BORN CHURCHES., This is the REAL GOSPEL MUSIC. No offense to the 2000's babies but this is IT !!!!!!! I will never forget The Maestro. It's Real .!!!!!!!!!! Elder Ward A. Snow formerly of Southwest Detroit.... Livin in Bama.

[@teflo2]

LAWD HAVE MERCY!!!! After all these years, I'm still addicted to this song! Praise God!

[@QuiteSexy7]

One of my favorite gospel songs of all time, brings me to tears because it is my hearts songs all day and all night. Jesus is truly 'All I Need' !!

[@TexasManMike]

This is STILL one of my all-time favorite songs by ANYBODY. Dude singing the lead is "ON IT". Those were the days when people sang with power and the annointing and not for a chance to be on BET's Celebration of Gospel. lol What a powerful song. I didn't know if I was gonna break out in a dance or have a "baptist fit" and pass out at my computer. lol Thanks for sharing this gospel classic!!! :)

[@2TruMike]

My Big Cousin the Choir Director, Miss You Cuz!!!🙏🏽❤️

[@enjoyit08]

Wow! I miss Thomas Whitfield! Growing up singing his intricate and precise melodies was like like being trained by a master vocal coach. Not many choirs/singers could truly replicate the moves and changes in his original productions without tons of practice. There are many of us who recognize the awesome gift God gave us in this humble Maestro and the legacy left by Min. Whitfield and we are surely grateful! The epitome of ministry thru music!

[@ToshaWarrenTalks]

i love the soloist. men dont sing gospel like that anymore. daryl coley style!

[@teflo2]

Amaaan!!

[@teflo2]

The Whitfield Company is STILL sanging like that! Their 40th Anniversary Concert was crazy! Just crazy praise!

[@2TruMike]

I Always come here to see my Big Cousin, Choir Director Dennis M. Walker, R.I.P.

[@songbirddomole]

Omg! This song is killing me! I've spent the last hour on repeat! Thank you Jesus for being all that I need!

[@cedriclyons17]

Love this song, that Brutha is singing, good stuff

[@DDeep1000]

Being a peculiar person, I prefer this peculiar sound over the common sound of the world. We miss you Thomas!

[@nulifesolja]

This from Sound of Gospel's War on Crack Concert in Toledo, Ohio back in the day. SOG had their whole roster there: Donald Vails, Jerry Q. Parries, Craig Brothers, Esther Smith, and of course The untouchable Whitfield Company. I was there that night!

[@PhillipConleyJr.]

Was it held at Savage Hall at University of Toledo? That’s what this looks like but I can’t tell

[@bjstix]

Yes sir! I am raised Apostolic and my wife grew up COGIC! Real music right here!!!!

[@rosellabush4027]

That is a beautiful song and my name is Rosella Whitfield I was married to James Whitfield the love of my life

[@Cake269]

The song of my heart ❤️. MaKes me cry.

[@dwightgavin2805]

My first real solo. First lady almost knock the wind out of me (RIH love her)

[@bessieberry8004]

Bro. Larry Edwards, I so glad to see this, you are one of the greats, you poured into us all in the New Creation Christian Center choir back in the day, I thank you and I love and appreciate you! Sis Bessie Cook Berry.

[@wonderfilled6048]

Wow the memories! My mother used to have this on cassette tape back in the day.

[@DDanyelleThomas]

omg this is straight up one of my FAVORITE Thomas Whitfield songs. I'm so glad I can watch/listen to this at work.

[@badgalruth]

Simply...Thankyou🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 only Thomas Whitefield 🙏🙌😇❤️

[@mablestrouble8258]

I love this song it makes my heart happy I listen to it as I have devotions.

[@lisaballard1114]

In the early 80s I went to a chruch name greater faith ,it was on Plymouth the pastor name was lenoard Lyons I think Larry was our choir director at the time smh what a voice this singing is good

[@8315dbird]

U got to keep in mind the sound person has to know to balance out the parts, if the sound man doesn't really know the singers, or group they r pretty much in the dark till they figure it out. Especially in a large auditorium..

[@returnofthemack8347]

This was my song I loved this mans voice; I miss when people sang instead of running all over the place in their noses

[@MSLATONJA]

Oh wow! This is so awesome. Church is not like this anymore. I remember everything I did when I was growig up was surrounded around church and going out to sing!

[@LoudTenorReg]

omg this is why this choir my fav of all time and prolly willalways b, flawless! annoiting and complexity

[@rashonts]

One of the greatest song of the 80's!!!!!!! LOVE IT! I grew up on this! YAZZZZZZZZZZZ GAWD!!!!!!

[@davidbrock5137]

I will forever remember the T.W.C. To keep Tommy's music alive. He had a Spiritually radiant music ministry to me. We use to talk all the time. I use to help the group out . Thank God for the memory of Tommy!

[@Ms1outlaw]

I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS DONE BY HIM FIRST!!! WOW!!! i guess the saying is true....ain't nothing new under the sun.....

[@musicgirl78]

You don't hear choirs that sound like this anymore..such a classic sound. Has anyone posted "I'm encouraged"?

[@AnthonyMarkT]

HA! I wish I could find that old tape! I used to have it and went to bed at night with my ear to the boom box...remember what those were? lol Whitfield is one of my all-time favorites. His music had an impact that will never go away. This song especially speaks right to the heart! YEAH! Praise him!

[@foxy10diva]

All I Need is JESUS...sing Larry!

[@foxy10diva]

All I need is to b wrapped up, tied up, tangled up n JESUS!

[@ashleyjohnson9556]

Still hear in 2022 holding onto God’s unchanging hand!!!!!

[@jazzlife1]

This brings back memories living in Detroit, these young musicians don't know good music.

[@orpheusblack67]

That's the closest to Donny Hathaway I have heard in a minute...! Thanks for the post!

[@thejbfactory5793]

My wish is to go back to my times with Tommy and the Company and stay right there. Everything since then has been anti climactic. Tommy ruined me for life.

[@okebaram]

Great! Halfway through the video, the sopranos are now loud and blending LOL! The choir sounds even better now that they showed up.

[@kelvinbrooks9588]

Awesome voice.

[@returnofthemack8347]

This man sang this songgggggg. I wish I knew who this man was because he has one or the best voices I ever heard.

[@organplaya]

His name is Larry Edwards.

[@returnofthemack8347]

Thank you!!!!

[@itsdynomyte]

Oh wow...I remember this like yesterday, Civic Auditorium, Cleveland, OH, 1986, I drove through a snowstorm to get there. There were a few jheri curls casted out that nite.

[@michaeldavio]

Still one of the greatest choirs.

[@edwar360]

thats my uncle Larry Edwards on the lead vocals...yes Unc

[@robertburks2126]

That's Awesome! Plz let him know when I go into my prayer closet and get down, way down... this is the album I listen to (since I received the Holy Ghost in 1990), and this is one of my top songs I keep replaying!

[@marqmitchell8665]

My uncle Robert Tolliver Jr. Vocalist pt 1

[@Michaelraymondonkeys]

Where’s he at these days?

[@Michaelraymondonkeys]

@@marqmitchell8665where’s he at these days?

[@marqmitchell8665]

My Uncle Robert Tolliver Jr inspired this rendition Robert Tolliver sang the original version pt 1. Both giving Glory!!

[@MSLATONJA]

oh my gosh! You just gave me a massive flashback. I used to sing with 2nd Ebenezer Youth Chorale in the 80's when we won the gospel fest at Hart Plaza. I grew up going to everything that those choirs you named gave.

[@DanaProctor]

Man this is the Thomas Whitfield & Company LIVE AT THE CIVIC AUTOTORIUM ALBUM. a Gospel Choir CLASSIC. (Man my mama gave me this Cassette for my birthday a few months ago, It's truly off chain. (the whole Tape I mean)

[@blackman4121]

@teflo2 I feel the SAME way!!!!! Did a choir workshop last week and this was one of the songs that I chose to do.... AMEN!!!

[@rpurpose]

Thanks so much for this amazing footage. As a musician who loves Gospel music.. I have patterned my style after Whitfield... my first time to actually see footage.. have all kids of sheet music and cds but now footage ... is just amazing...

[@mrshughes3344dd]

My favorite song...

[@SeriouslyFocused]

@leroyfj I love this!!!!! Leaves no questions to ask

[@returnofthemack8347]

Sopranos mic needs turning up but lordddddddd this man was sanginggggg. I was over here yelling at the screen

[@bjstix]

That's right tyhutson08! I love this kind of gospel music and it just makes you feel closer to Jesus and it makes you feel holy! It does something to you on the inside, can I get a wittness!!!

[@jcashtr02]

One of the greatest to ever do it...

[@professorlip]

Does anyone have Whitfield singing "Dear Jesus" or Soon as "I Get Home"? I know that this may start something, but Whitfield was to the 80's what James Hall was to the 90's. They both added a level of musical prowess that was not seen by most to the choir scene.

[@troymarkee955]

No comparison...

[@HobsonMediaGroup]

Bro Larry on Lead, use to listen to him every Sunday at New Creation Christian Center. With that voice, should have been one of the greats in the gospel world

[@KMMJKR]

THIS IS AWESOME THANKS FOR THIS!!!

[@theoneandonly09]

Hes the truth on that piano

[@h313w]

man I gotta say, Larry killed that joint. I ain' mad if they do MORE than the album :)

[@ilmatic35]

[@supersimpson550]

I love this song!

[@ioxxd90]

Yes indeed

[@okebaram]

I can't hear the sopranos! But the choir sounds great noneheless. Imagine how nice they would sound if their sopranos were loud enough.

[@itsdynomyte]

Yes both of those songs are on the release Hallelujah Anyhow. They are starting to put these on CDs, I transferred from cassette to CD.

[@organplaya]

HEY EVERYONE ! ! ! ! don't forget to click the stars under the video screen. thanks

[@therealkpeworldwide]

Timeless 30 plus years after his last full company project we are still sweating over musical and choral arrangements plus if you mess around…it’ll take you in. Ha ha ha…

[@justdfbc]

[@tjmuzix]

Hello Ms Bartee, Do you still have this taping? I would love to see the entire concert.

[@Destinn3000]

[@TOAYES]

[@mrhammondb3]

@Ms1outlaw actually thomas intoduced the song to the neworleans gospel soulchildren first on there 3rd album then he recorded it with his group after

[@niqulusviii987]

Wow, I guess that's why my new Orleans family knew it so well when we sung it for altar call lol!

[@mysticman07]

what an mastro!does anyone have "jesus gave his all by thomas whitfield?

[@teflo2]

@blackman4121 You made an awesome and anointed choice. Did y'all tear up the chairs in rehearsal? Been there, done that! Had an employee bring me some paperwork during rehearsal. Choir members were running up and down the hall. He asked me if we always did that. I told him "If he only knew".

[@professorlip]

I have the songs on CDs. I was looking for videos on youtube. Appreciate the heads up, though.

[@wepopalot]

Actually John did an arrangment of that song. Brother Joe Mays did it originaly, more than 50 years ago

[@raphaelcharpentier121]

Rest in Peace Pop

[@organplaya]

Did Larry pass away????

[@jnbjproductions]

just how old is volley on the drums???? oh my GAWD!!!!

[@professorlip]

Yes sirrrr! That was the jam. But I don't think he recorded that with the Whitfield Company though. Whom did he record that with? Also, his Christmas CD was way ahead of its time.

[@realladylike]

[@Morrie1986]
