This one makes me cry every time I hear it. Having grown up listening to the Statemen and Blackwoods, I can't help feeling the love exuded when these guys sing this one!
This is GREAT! Thankyou Statesmenfan for posting it. Such a different sounding song. I like it very much. I have become such a fan of the Statesmen and Jake Hess, I just cain't seem to get enough of this group. I feel so grateful to have discovered all this video on You Tube.
JAKE HESS very very blessed Singer he Was , has a voices that just pics your mood up . Sang the Song : Up Above my head - that also is a pick me up Song .
I've been a fan since I first heard about them on the first Gaither video. Then saw a video Bill did about their career. Hovie & the Statesmen, without a doubt, set the standard by wich ALL othern gospel quartets should strive for.

All of them are great. I'm such a big fan of Crumpler the tenor singer. What a voice!
And Rosie replaced him with quality.
It is so beautiful and the harmony is so awesome, that I cry when I listen to this song by the Statesmen!!!!!!
Awesome just awesome
Makes you wanna go right now and listen to them forevermore!
You don't hear a lot of songs written this straight forward anymore. People don't seem to want think about Heaven or Hell as a living reality.
Fantastic! What class! Thank you!

yes a very young Jake.. He is standing behind Doy Ott. what a treasure!
I believe Chief wrote this one, it is on the Statesmens first album.
Denver died in 1957, so it had to be between 54 and 57.....
Say, any idea what year this was made? I sure love this sound. Good stuff. Thanks for posting it.
Song at the end Listen To The Bells
Do you know where I can find "Wait til you see me in my new home" ?
