When I was in my twenties I got busted for drugs n had to move back home with my parents! And I had a job that I had to drive my daddy van! And this cassette was stuck in the cassette player! It help me get through a very rough time of shame! God brought me out n I never dealt with drugs again! Thank you Jesus!
That's quite a testimony!
Don't be ashamed it's called life, show me someone who's perfect and I'll show you a lier..you made it thru and your not the only one...we love you !
Amen
Praise God Thank you JESUS 🙌🏾🙌🏾
It was stuck in there for that very reason 🙏🏽

I'm 48 yrs young & this album still remains in my playlist
I'll never get tired of this song. I'm forever grateful that my daddy introduced me to this kind of gospel music
I absolutely wholeheartedly agree. Most 21 year olds dont listen to this music but I sure am. Better to be different.
I love this song so much
My grandmother introduced me to them and they were often in the audience when they were recording live. Thank you Jesus for grandparents 🙏
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know I grew up on this and these guys are straight fire 🔥
I come from Earle, Arkansas and I know what it's like to be poor. We went to bed hungry a lot of nights. We had pinto beans every night for dinner, except on the weekends we had fried chicken or spaghetti. Once in a while we had pork on holidays. But we knew God and He was GREAT to us. He brought us a mighty long way. I was sick and momma said the doctor told her there was nothing else He could do for me. So, she took me to the Pastor and he prayed for me and God healed me!!! Thank you God, our Father in Heaven, Holy is His name, Jesus and the Holy Ghost!!
Praise God!
Yes my family is from Earle Arkansas .my granpa john loved him some canton spirituals
Amen Amen thank you lord God in Jesus name we thank you father
This album deserves an oscar for its performance and delivery. This album and live in Memphis ll change the whole quartet industry as we know it now....... Harvey is the father of the new age quartet music..... He really deserves a movie
Brian Wilson 💯💯💯
Facts
Live in Memphis came close winning a Grammy for Album of the Year!
Andrae Coleman it should of won and I would watch the movie if it came out
I agree
One of the best gospel albums of all time period.
When the Canton Spirituals came to Houston back in the 90s we got free tickets Harvey, Dwayne and Masey use to stay at our house
My favorite group, it's 2022 and this is still powerful. That's how you can tell the anointing was present 🙌🏿🙌🏿
Amen
Yes it is ❤
2023 and I’m still listening
Amen, my sentiments exactly friend.
I was raised up listening to this. They don’t do it like this anymore!
You ain’t lying sure don’t
Nah man! Nobody can deliver like Harvey & Co...
This video proves why they were the top Quartet Group in the 90’s !!! 🙌🏽

Amen still is today after 25 years the bless seller's. Today god bless the canton spiritual 🙏
This album almost won them a Grammy!
In the New Millennium and they are still tops. Nobody like the Canton Spirituals even now.
Facts!!!
I'm 35 and remember them since I could talk. My parents and grandparents raised me on this group. I'm from Mississippi as well.
❤❤❤❤
That man was enjoying Jesus and himself at that recording 😄😄
The issue and blessing at the same dang time lol
This reminded me so much of my grandma!!! She use to play this every morning!!! This brought tears to my eyes y’all!!! This is what real gospel was all about! It made you feel something!!!
Yeeeeessss ever morning
This song speaks to me. Grew up in a three room house, not a three bedroom room house but a three room house. Outhouse in the back, and a water pump to get water for the dishes and to drink. Now I live in a three bedroom three bathroom house. I KNOW the Lords been good to me. Not to mention this song is the jam. Anbody know him as a rock!
You better tell it.
Amen !!

The Canton Sprituals, was a good time song.
Amen the. Cantons rules. They are one of my favorite ledgendary quartets. God bless them.they are one of the best quartets on the planet. For. Real. Believe it.
3 decades later, and the anointing is as strong now as it was when I first saw it. From beginning to end it was/is very apparent that the Lord's hand was all over this legendary live recording. Respect and RIP to Mr. Harvey Watkins Sr. (Dec. 5, 1929 - Nov. 16, 1994).
"Every time I get a nickel, I had to spend a dime"!!! "MISSISSIPPI PO" BOY!!!!
And some of us understand what he says more than others.
Story of my life...its about to change tho cuz my Lord is going to change that change into paper and my family will never struggle again.
T W Amen
That's me
I’m young and I understand this.
My all time favorite gospel song. Anytime I’m down I come to this song. “Anybody know about The Rock….” Life changes here!
Dangerous drummer, he know how to play in the pocket, nice and tight!!!
I was in Revival with them some years ago at my church. When they left i was cleaning the floors and the drummer had splinters everywhere. He was destroying drum sticks when the Holy Ghost got on him.
There is nothing as uplifting as good old southern gospel. You cannot get depressed listening to it. What a blessing.
This song brings tears to my eyes i sit and look around on how far God has brung me, sometimes i don't deserve the blessings that has been coming my way. But i thank God for being so good to me, he's been so good to me i can't say it enough!!!
Amen!!!
Seek the kingdom first and ALL these things will be added unto you big brother
Amen
Thank you Jesus 🙌🏾
But the Loooorrrrrdddd been Good To ME!!!
I listen to this CD in my car every time Im driving. I'm so glad my brother took me to all the gospel concerts in South Carolina.
I just lost my grandad to cancer! He loved this music! This hits home now! I appreciate it so much more now.

JEHOVAH,
Heavenly Father, I thank You and praise You always for allowing us to be in Your presence. Your presence is : peace , renewal, help, BLESSINGS, healing, strengthening, protecting and anointing. Keep our lives oppression free #amen
I remember my grandmother dancing to this song back in the day. She'll be turning 90 this year. She was born in 1930 so I know she can relate to this song. I bet if I played it now she would get up and cut a rug.
Hold on, let the anointings break the yokes, cause the yokes are heavey.
As we move through the beginning of Sorrows, understand this: we need Jesus more than ever, Holy Ghost Power, every hour.
Thank the Lord for HIS anointings on his ministers of music.
Keep on in JESUS
