One of the most anointed gospel singers and gospel singers ever I love the Hawkins! Tramaine, Walter, Lynette, Edwin and everyone else

Walter Hawkins was a total Beast and had one of the most beautiful voices out of all the singing males I've heard in life period no matter the genre!!! When it comes to talent and putting a song together he's beyond!!!! I call him the male twinkie and vice-versa!

All I could do was just cry. I had never seen this video. When I was a teenager growing up and others were buying Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, The Commadores, I was head over heels for the Hawkins Family. I bought and still have all of their albums. What a family! What a ministry! It remains in my heart. And Walter - Rev Hawkins will always be my favorite. He inspires me even now. I still think about him and what all of them built and wow...they are forever in my heart!!!

Right? Ok, back in my childhood, I was one of the others, but now appreciate and thank my mom for introducing me to royalty. I believe it was love alive 2 and 3 that mom got me into. My top song that really got me going, I mean, got them feet real light was until i found the lord, but I’m going away was close second on my favs list, but I use that one to remember my family who departed just to get me through those rough times. My most recent being my auntie, now that I think of it, those 3 words I could really hear her say to me after she told me that she loves me. She may not have said them out loud, but, I understood her, and as I listened to that song, I felt like I could communicate with her, telling her, see you over there.

I LOVE a good ole Lynette Hawkins Stephens squall! : ) The Hawkins... # 1 family in gospel music!!!

Back in the Day it was THE HAWKINS and THE CLARK SISTERS. What a Blessing!

I have loved the music of The Hawkins Family for over 40 years. Tramaine is like none other. I thank God for having the experience to meet her personally at a Grammy Nomination party some twenty years ago in Bay Area. God gave me my heart's desire! Thank you Lord. Marvelous, this was the last song Pastor Walter sung publicly before his passing with an orchestra and Richard Smallwood. Love Center Church in Oakland, CA circa 1988 MacArthur Blvd...wow, the memories. Love you too Sister Lynette Hawkins Stephens. Was so happy when you released your debut album. Brothers Edwin and Walter, inseparable. RIP two great gospel legends.

What a wonderful lady..Ms.Termaine Hawkins. Love her voice and gospel passion...... Love from Bangalore, India🇮🇳

i m glad i was born during their era, so glad

Walter Be killing dem notes! Marvelous will forever be my SONG! I want that sang at my funeral😇! RIP Edwin Reuben Hawkins and Walter Lee Hawkins!

I'm sorry but Bishop Hawkins just BLEW the roof off the place. What a voice. Was he a tenor, alto, soprano? The man was all the above. Goodness when he hits the high notes he nailed them. Truly a God gifted talent. I love Lady Tramaine as well.

Tramaine is a BEAST! She has one of the most beautiful & distinctive soprano croons I've ever heard. I've never seen someone so totally become a song like she does when she sings Changed. She glides. She floats. And her whole being glows. It's a beautiful sight to behold.

My WORD when this man modulates and modulates and hit that saprano..he is walking in Jerusalem! my God, the annointing that just SIT on this family. Him and Edwin are truely missed.

Yes Tramaine you can clearly hear her voice on several songs Walter sings she always blend beautiful with Walter voice and all others. But with Tramaine and Walter voices was meant to blend. You can hear Walter. Clearly when Tramaine is singing change in this video Walter voice backing Tramaine

Tramaine always working behind that rhythm and STILL making it works and catching up with it just in time. I love hearing her work her artistry through the anointing.

Both of these Genesis are gone home to claim their rewards. Can you imagine the Angles singing a special song just for them. Rest In Peace Walter & Edwin Hawkins.

I'm so grateful my dad introduce the music of such anointed gospel greats....Gods vessels, the Hawkins Family! I've always loved Walter, Edwin and Traimaine! God bless them all!💕

I swear walter, until he departed, could hit em high with the best of them! Lemme just say it like this, his voice was a baseball bat, and every time he hit them notes, it was as if the giants hit one outta the park! Heck, that whole family was the sangin version of the SF giants. High, deep, it, is, outta here!

Our God is standing by!!!!!! Amen

One of my favorite families of Gospel , The Hawkins Family,

This is a great blessing. Tramaine Blessed us with Her grace. I definitely did not miss God when Lynette sang, all I could see was the power within her Spirit. Walter blessed us with that immortal song and Edwin exerted the exuberant Joy. I am lifted to news realms of joy, grace, power and love.

I wish I had have been in that room. I would have left my shoes! This is Tramaine's signature song!! Sing it!! Alright Lynette Hawkins!! Ending with a great song - Marvelous. Rest on Bishop Walter and Mr. Edwin Hawkins. Their era has ended, but not their music. What a legacy!!

Even my feet get happy when listening to them sing.

That was not a " happy birthday, but I know that she is extremely happy now with no more heart break, disappointment, sorrow, tears, pain, she is with the one who loves her. She is with Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. " Oh happy day".
