They all brought their own style to this. Cissy was showing her operatic technical prowess and restrain. Unlike vanessa who said aint no restraining me. This was truly fabulous and legendary

I was a little girl when they recorded this almost 40 years ago. So many amazing saints have gone on to be with the Lord. RIP...

I watched this in the late 80's when it was televised. Just don't get no better than this. Ms. Cissy, and Tramaine worked that stage. Their Vocals my Lord. Had me jumping up and down. Marvelous!

Tramaine omg!!!

Pastor Caesar preach that thang now. Then, you got the great Vanessa or VBA coming in with this soaring glissando and holding that piercing note. Bishop Winans and Ms. Hawkins exchange was just spectacular. They were the perfect pair. Ms. Hawkins gone head and growl for us. Notice everything still sounding in tack when they went Acapella and the old church clapping was everything. Sometimes clapping and stomping in the black church is our only form of percussion. This was everything and really church. This was church and fellowship. The whole stage sounded so good. Let’s not forget to mention that they all looked good and dressed down. Everybody on stage got class, and I’m living for it! Enjoy this everytime I watch.
