This review is from: Gospel (DVD)

I grew up watching this video and to my surprise I found it at Blockbuster. I could not believe it. I have been watching it for the last two months regularly. This concert was blessed by God almighty himself! I imagine that as they performed he was in Heaven throwing down, because you know God can outdance any of us. My favs:
The Mighty Clouds of Joy-Walk Around Heaven (I forgot it was them and thought it was the Temptations for a second.)
Shirley Caesar-No Charge (No one can tell a story quite like Shirley.
Walter Hawkins & Family-EVERYTHING!!! Their musicians were amazing.
The Clark Sisters-EVERYTHING!!!! It should be illegal to sing like that!
James Cleveland-EVERY SINGLE SONG!!!
Excellent must have for any true lover of gospel. I know a lot of people don't enjoy older gospel as much as the new stuff, but I can bet any amount of money that the stuff people are listening to now can be traced back to these very artists. I have heard so many remakes of these songs form the newer artists. Much respect.

This review is from: Gospel [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a must see video of the late James Cleveland,the appointed, Pastor Shirley Ceaser, Bishop Walter Hawkins, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, and the Dynamic Clark Sisters.... I have watched this video over & over and can not get enough of the wonderful sounds of each gospel artist in this movie.... From the Mighty Clouds of Joy quartet sound,to the grand finale in the end with Walter Hawkins and his group... this is a must see video... James Cleveland, Shirley Ceaser and The Clark Sisters each prove that they rule the gospel circuit in male soloist, female soloist and female group category respectively. I encourage you to buy this movie..It is a must see treat! God bless you... Juan L. Maultsby

5.0 out of 5 stars The Holy Grail, April 2, 2001

This review is from: Gospel [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is a marvel. Any fan of soul music will surely appreciate WHERE people like Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin etc. received their inspiration and training. And that is from gospel music. This tape is one incredible performance after another that is both entertaining and very moving.

If you can`t respond to the Mighty Clouds Of Joy in this video, you are off my party list permanently. :)
