I grew up listening to their music. Their music was a blessing and still blesses my soul today in 2024. RIP to the Gospel Greats Edwin and Walter Hawkins.

Love this! Still a favorite gospel artist to this day! Thank you! #2024

I'm watching in June 2024. Had a video about James Cleveland in my feed. And came across this video. I had a powerfully moving Holy Spirit encounter while listening to Walter Hawkins and the family. It was in the early eighties but I had been listening since the seventies. It was on the night I got baptized in the Holy Spirit. Don't recall how much time went by. I was home alone seeking God and complaining that I didn't have the baptism. I ended up moaning in the Spirit and then spoke in tongues. I put on my cassette of Walter Hawkins and completely lost track of time. The word were " Ive been praying all night long". I certainly had a break through.

I remember watching this when it first aired and still to this day I'm shocked that record labels refused to give him, a world renowned gospel artist and pioneer, a deal. He deserved so much more.

I luv Walter and Tremaine Hawkins. RIP Walter Hawkins

[@brinablack436]

I wish there were full concert video recording of all the Love Alive Albums. Their music got me through rough times during my mom's transition. Thank you, Walter, Edwin,and all the Hawkins. Thank you, Mommy, for a lifetime of love and guidance. Gone but never, ever forgotten. R.I.P 4/9/2022 💔 ... And thank you, Lord, for all you've done for me 🙏🏾

[@chinevman1582]

I loved the way Walter and Edwin qued each other and smiled when they sang together.

[@JSB-Polymath]

Thank you for this history. My late sister had all of the Hawkins family's albums. Something to keep us going, to stop and listen to this. --- BUT, it ended sorta rough...

Love the Hawkins family , First family of gospel. Great music 💯

[@drumbangerproduction]

I wish that they were honored more. There were so many greats in the faith have contributed so much that were never honored properly.

[@randyplump9517]

I beleive their should be a full length play or movie about their lives that the church community should flock to as much as a Tyler perry play or movie.

[@ladynfsoffice]

The richness of this content about not only Walter, but brother Edwin and his awesome family is priceless! Their influence has touched the world with some of the greatest Music that lives on. Thank you for sharing these behind the scenes interviews of a Family I will love forever! 🍃♥️🍃

Hawkins Family one of greatest,not just Gospel but any musical Families of our time.

[@msnat61]

The Greatest Inspiration and Influence in Gospel Music…from my early childhood (O Happy Day) to my teenage years (Love Alive 1 & 2) and well into my adult life (to this day) the Music of Walter & Edwin Hawkins flows through my heart. Thank you Trevon for sharing this awesome documentary! Blessings & Love ♥️🎶🎵🎼🎹🎶♥️

[@cherylmanuel-bo1eq]

WOW AWESOME I was drawn to CALI in the 80s but attached to my then Church and loved SOUL TRAIN but I was very SHY. I have regrets NOW

[@lorimcbrayer8431]

I love the Hawkins family singers starting with The Edwin Hawkin Singers to Walter Hawkins. I remember when I was in my church choir in the 70's, we sung every song on The Love Alive first album.

[@greganderson1445]

I was raised in church off of their music. I listen to his greatest hits CD to get in the mood for church on Sunday mornings.

[@donnyjackson8845]

Love alive is the greatest gospel album of all time. That’s just my opinion.

[@CG-ez4ep]

What a beautiful voice !! It sounds like built in pipes! He don’t need music!!! Love his music!!

[@sugwilliams6257]

[@mosestyson2705]

I HAD THE GREAT PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH EDWIN AND WALTER PRODUCING MULTIPLE ALBUMS. THEY WERE HUMBLE...GIFTED...PATIENT AND INVESTED IN THE DREAMS OF MANY OTHERS. I MISS THEM SO MUCH....

[@TrevonDawson]

Hi Mr. Tyson do you happen to have the video footage of the last Hawkins Family recording that was recorded on Bellmark records “New Dawning”? No one in the family has a copy Bishop once had a copy but no one knows where it is now?

[@mosestyson2705]

I love that this uploaded 2 days ago. Stumbled on Walter months ago and been loving his music. Been curious about his life story. All praise to God 🙏💪❤️✝️

[@vanessafitzpatrick5635]

They came from humble beginnings.

[@jamellfoster6029]

Wow. I can empathize. My Mom wouldn't let us listen to rap music. All music but rap was acceptable.

That's all I listen to, old Gospel Songs

They don’t talk about the Hawkins , Paces , Crouch’s , winans, these were are founding gospel music families they have laid the foundation 💜🌻

[@ISayToMyself]

Did yall even mention Tremaine?

[@MsHelper2]

They were married to each other from 1971 to 1994 and had two children. I thought I saw her singing in Oh Happy Day on video. Perhaps not.

[@dotsims7530]

I love Tramaine and when I think of Hawkins Family I think most people always include Tramaine. On U Tube Walter did a tribute to Tramaine. The emotions and his heart in the tribute.
