I remember viewing the first airing of this PBS program over 30 years ago and been searching for this video for decades. Thank you for posting and sharing.
What Patti said about Chicago folks being lucky is true and not just because of Momma Albertina. Like Patti I grew up in the Northeast and heard some good gospel. But moving to Chicago was something different. Gospel music was just part of the culture and some of the south & west side singers & musicians were amazing.
See @19:18... President Obama And First Lady.... Standing/Clapping At End Of Albertina Walker Song ...And When The "Mighty Clouds Of Joy" Singing... PBS Should Broadcast This Concert...This Is History!
Chris Johnson wow!!!!!! I've seen the piece with Albertina Walker for years and didn't know that the Obamas were there. so young. so awesome. was this Jeremiah Wright's church?
@@nadyarossi5102 Me too...I taped this on a VHS tape. I have no idea where it is. Has to be packed away from moving & then relocating. I am so sorry this person didn't capture the whole program. I was so ready to hear the Barrett Sister sing again & watch the finale when Patti kicked off her shoes🌝 I enjoyed this.🙌🏿
This was March 6, 1991 at the Quinn Chapel in Chicago. Michelle and Barack weren't married at the time, they were on a date. They married on October 3, 1992.
Gospel is the One Thing that brings strange bed fellows together! Look at all of a the Historic People In this Video. Lord You Are Something else! LAWD!
A thousand thanks for posting this. I've been searching for it forever. Finding it here this morning has made my day. This video contains some of the very best gospel music performances ever!
I have this program recorded on cassette. Rev Clay Evans, Debbie Henry , Patti Labelle and company. PBS needs to release this on DVD/' CD during there next pledge drive
I love sista Pattie but whoever put her picture on the gospel station with her breast hanging out that wasn't right, true she shouldn't have worn that and you shouldn't have posted it either love covers she needed some covering ❤️🖤💚
It's unfortunate that the last 2 minutes got cut off. As Patti was stepping down and got to the bottom step, she hit one of the highest notes I've ever heard her hit. But still a historic and amazing performance by all!
Her outfit it nice come as u are she’s a superstar an she have to look good Don’t look at d clothes listen to d preaching many people wish they were there including me I love ms patti
All the black women look beautiful everybody wearing there own hair and little to no make up yes black queens wish the new generation of women would go back to being women classy graceful black women
Wow this is epic. Gospel royal pioneers. Oh the scene with President Obama And First Lady Michelle was everything. It all start with God. When it’s all said and done he is the Alpha and Omega.
I was sitting in front of the T.V. watching this as it aired!!! I remember standing and praising God as Ricky Dillard and NGC tore it down singing "Joy"! But I had a real Holy Spirit filled moment as Patti closed out the show with "He Cares"!!!! Over the years as the internet became more technologically advanced and I found UA-cam, I put it in the search box and there it was. Initially I just put in "He Cares" Patti Labelle, but i then started searching for the "Going Home To Gospel" airing. That night GPTV was raising money to keep airing these wonderful shows. They eventually started offering a box set of the show. I still cry as I watch her sing this song, now more than ever because my Mom watched with me that night it aired and has since went home to be with our Lord. Thank You for posting this, it has truly been a blessing watching it!!!! God Bless You!!!
oh i left out pastor sanders he took care of me my mom and sister that our pastor the man in the beginning i love you and your family for life that you for everything that me in that lime dress as she walk past them our first black president was there amen history i remember ever song she sang
wow I watched this as a child only being able to find clips here and there, thank you so very much for posting this ,still don't understand why PBS wont sell this thanks again
Jennifer Hudson sang this song!!! Omg Jennifer was at her ultimate powerhouse when she sang this look it up on UA-cam "Jennifer singing in church" there's 2 videos but one of them she sings this song at the end of the video. Well done to both of em I love both versions.
Ok, Patti snatch all my hair follicles and wig completely off with note between 39:46-50 and I am guy! Lol 😂 I'm shook! Ricky wasn't ready for that note either. Let him use Mama Patti! This is the type of music and church I grew up on and miss it!
I remember seeing this when it first aired on TV. What an amazing memory. So much history in this video. I wish I could get it on DVD. I love Patti, always have. And there is only one Ricky Dillard. He is just bad to the bone.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING! I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS IN YEARS. BEING THAT I DON'T HAVE A VCR ANYMORE, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PLAY MY TAPE OF THIS THAT I RECORDED FROM TV BACK IN THE DAY. THOSE MIGHTY CLOUDS OF JOY!!!!!
THE SACRED🕌 VENUE IS SATURATED WITH AND BY THE \BLESSIN GS/$ OF THE [[[LORD OUR GOD]]] AND ALL THISE THAT STOOD THERE AS 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟MS. P🥇TTI L🏅BELLE🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 *****SHARED HISTORY****
Damn can't Patti LaBelle Do Anything by herself without Aretha Franklin?! Why bring her name up in this has absolutely "zero" to do with Aretha Franklin?! You guys need to stop that trying to put people against each other especially other black people! all it is toxic poison and that cycle must be broken! Aretha was home minding her business probably watching it🤔🤔🤔
I Truly Love This, it helped me on my journey. I also had the VHS, anyone know how I can purchase it again? Please post if you do. Thank You In Advance. Praise God Yawl........Amen
I remember seeing this video when it first aired. Years later when Barack was sworn in I remembered seeing him in it. Its most fascinating to me that people accuse him of not being a Christian when years before his first political office and before he ever thought running for president was a viable option for him, here he was... WORSHIPING in a CHURCH. Thank God for him not just wearing his faith on his shoulder but instead living the life, walking the walk, and holding true to HIS faith!
Is cricket government even through all these TV stations can set the stage 25 years in advance and show you what they are going to do and where they're going to put somebody like Barack Obama and Michelle. Let us not be fooled. You see now Barack Obama sitting there was not what you thought because he did nothing for the melanated people unless he got in. They are planners don't let full you fool!
Stedman Graham at 28:28 Oprah's long time boyfriend. President Obama and First Lady Michelle at 28:36 I saw this when I was a small child and wondered who all the people in the audience were, and now decades later I found out the were, not average everyday people such as myself.
...After All These Years...I Still Get Chills ....Especially Patti Singing That Last Song...Amen
Remember this so very well i love Albertina Walker ❤❤❤
I'm feeling every note, every scream, she sing.
Understanding the truth come and we're going to have a good time in Jesus name Glory Hallelujah
We get a glimpse of Barack and Michelle before the White House! I have been looking for this Years! Thank you for posting!!!!!!
I had a great seat in the balcony- I have on a green and white dress - God is good
13:16-19:15 Albertina Walker Feat. Patti LaBelle, I Can Go To God In Prayer
I remember viewing the first airing of this PBS program over 30 years ago and been searching for this video for decades. Thank you for posting and sharing.
What year was this?
Patti showed up and showed out
@@tyestrong5726 This video originally aired on PBS on 03-06-1991. I lost the VCR tape.
When Patti got happy when Rev. Evans was preaching, I almost threw my phone!
THIS IS US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I miss choir singing like this! Need this show back on tv!
What I wouldn't give to be able to buy "Going Home To Gospel" on DVD! Patti, Albertina, the Barrett Sisters, et al!
I found this after looking up, I can go to God in prayer by Albertina Walker
I miss the days when specials like these came on t.v. The gospel music now is so empty and full of show.
so true!
@@socalmusiclovrlll lol takem
Pattie gives 150% as always but She ends up taking it home Eva Time!!!!!
PATTY LABELLE, YOU ARE THE QUEEN OF QUEENS !!!! THE HOLE WORLD ADORES YOU !! LOOK YOUR BEAUTIFUL HAIR AND YOUR WONDERFUL DRESS !!!!!

So Great! Keep in mind this was probably 20 years b/f Obama was President! Wish MCA or whomever would release this on DVD or something.
Chris Johnson wow!!!!!! I've seen the piece with Albertina Walker for years and didn't know that the Obamas were there. so young. so awesome. was this Jeremiah Wright's church?
@@ScoobyDooDoo415 Yes, an amazing catch! Obama has been a longtime fan of Patti Labelle. These were the golden years of her reign.
Yes, and Oprah's Stedman is at 28:31 and the Obama's again at 28:38. I guess PBS knew they would be famous even back then.
1991. They didn't even get married till the following year. They were just engaged. So amazing to see The Obamas there so young.
Sing, Debbie Henry!!!!
Man do I remember this PBS special!!! Brings back some great memories and yes I still have the VCR tape of this program somewhere in my house!!!
I wish PBS would rebroadcast this!

Chiseled Buff Daddy thanks for the info guy in jockey shorts 🥴🤣👏🏽
So Patti's been singing "Who's on the Lord's Side" a long time I see.
And so many of us needed to hear that God cares for us, probably the best words on the whole recording! 🌍♥️
A young Barack and Michelle Obama in 1990 at Quinn Chapel in Chicago. (At about 28.37). Stedman Graham at 28.30.
Pattie thanks
