When I hear Joshua singing this it make me think, deep down I would think this is really what we all want, to walk closer with Our Blessed Lord Jesus, but sometimes things happen in life and we think our Blessed Lord seems to be distant or has moved away from us but it's then we should ask ourselves `who has moved` and if we're truthful with ourselves it doesn't take much working out, yeh there's more to life than you and me.
I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana - the most unique city in the world in my opinion. I saw my first Jazz Funeral at the age of 6. This brings back fond memories.
So pure and quintessentially New Orleans!! A classic rendering in the easily identifiable New Orleans style! This is a testament to the inimitable musical heritage of the world’s great music city!!!!
An update - My father died suddenly on Veteran's Day, November 11th. He was an Air Force Veteran. My Beloved Angel Dog Julie went to Heaven on September 22, 2022. This Gospel Hymn brings me much comfort among my tears.

Beautiful! I am weak, but Thou art strong; Jesus, keep me from all wrong; I’ll be satisfied as long As I walk, let me walk close to Thee. Refrain: Just a closer walk with Thee, Grant it, Jesus, is my plea, Daily walking close to Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be. Through this world of toil and snares, If I falter, Lord, who cares? Who with me my burden shares? None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee. When my feeble life is o’er, Time for me will be no more; Guide me gently, safely o’er To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.
Walking close with the Lord! What a better privilege , blessing and life is there than walking close to Jesus. Beautiful music to the ear and comforting the soul. God bless you all!

this was my husband's favorite type of music. He went to heaven 1999. And wanted this at his memorial. So I got another group & it was a real tear jerk er. I could listen to it all day also. I grew up with my parents playing this on a 45 record player, & the sound came out the speaker of the big stand up radio. that was back in the middle 50's Brings back some of the best memories of my life. Thank you Jesus.

wally crail Sir, I think you are mistaken about Marci Gras being a festival to celebrate homosexuality. I do believe homosexuals celebrate during this festival as well as many many other groups. They may or may not be suffering because of it. The entire humane race is suffering during this pandemic. You and I would agree on many things, but the last time I read the scripture it said : “ Judge not, that ye be not judged”. (Matthew 7.1); Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven. Let us leave the judging to our Father in heaven. Believe me, He does not need our help in that area.
@wally crail I agree with your principals and doctrine and I also am old enough to remember a time when gay meant light hearted and carefree, not a sexual deviation. If you have a problem with the English language. Q Perhaps you should learn another one. The word does have dual meanings you know. The Mardi Gras is certainly not my cup of tea. Supposedly it came to be because the early Christian church adopted and reformed the Roman feast of Lupercalia in order to convert the pagans. At that point it was renamed "carnelevamen" meaning farewell to the flesh" and the French coined the name Mardi Gras and it was around a long time before becoming anything like it is today. Febuary of 1857 is one key date in Mardi Gras history, a LONG TIME before someone profaned a perfectly good English word by giving it another definition. My knowledge of the Festival is only enough to make me NOT want to attend it for many reasons, mostly because of the outward celebration of many sinful ways, but I do not think all people who attend are of that persuasion. That I am reasonably sure of. Being ignorant of actually having been there and seeing first hand all that happens and is celebrated, I am going to bow out of this conversation. May the good Lord protect us all from the sins of the world we live in.
Absolutely beautiful, as a kid my nanny would take me to her Baptist Church. I was facinated by the hymns and the gospel songs. I must have been the only white kid in the room being half German and half Mexican. But it taught me to love everyone.
The tone quality of the trumpet is amazing. The tone of the lead vocalist is equally rich and full. The dixieland section by the band was so much fun. I love it!
Reading all comments here and I realise that every one love this song, no matter who sings it. Marvelous. It should be like that for everything, but I think it's too much asked. Good time everyone.
A real pleasure to watch, what a wonderful voice. My all time favourite is Mahalia Jackson spectacular hypnotic rendition for Louis Armstrong. See it on UA-cam, a true Gem with two of our greatest legends.
This is so American. I loved New Orleans and the music is pure heaven. Everyone should visit because you can hear this all the time and parades go on all the year long.

I believe Linda studied classical music for some years, fortunately she changed over to main stream music, she can sing any song she elects to do, unfortunately today in 2023 she has many health problems, and lost her voice, her many thousands of fans will miss her golden voice.
I want a jazz band funeral! Celebrate the life. Amen,

Jazz is the fullest expression of human emotion.
What a band and what a voice! Fantastic!!!
Beautiful!
I am weak, but Thou art strong;
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I’ll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.
Refrain:
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.
When my feeble life is o’er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.
Am Indian. Not too enamoured by US. Loved this song. God bless you all. Am a poor, Christian from a poor country. God is there for, all.

@wally crail So true I fear the USA has reached the point of no return if we don't turn back to God repent and turn from our wicked ways.
w. crail you know nothing of mardi gras! i enjoy mardi gras and am straight. crail, you know nothing about GOD, either. quit throwing stones.
Just love it! Wonderful voice and band. Great Bourbon Street sound.
I love Dixieland Jazz. Excellent rendition!

I can still recall when I was just a child...every morning my grand parents sing this song together. I love this song...
