I haven't passed out yet,!! but it's so heart warming to know that someone beside myself love this "great woman" of God as much as I do. Bless you my "child" for sharing the wonderful tributes.
That's the FIRE! Somethng happens when you get serious about Thanking GOD for all that HE has done. When you know, what you know about The LORD GOD Healing you, Delivering you, Saving you, etc., etc.; bringing you a mighty long way from where you were, it is so good to acknowledge that. This GOSPEL Music by Sis. Dorothy Love Coates has truly been a Blessing to me and I Thank GOD fot it and Thank you for posting it.
Who told you that you are white man or God, let God be true and every man a Liar.not once scriptures mention anyone by the pigment of ones skin y'all are brainwashed
The annointing!!!! She sang to God and about God from Her heart. Her songs were born out experience. Yoke breaking and destroying power, when you know who you know for yourself, that's when the power of God can manifest Himself anywhere and everywhere! I love this woman of God! ❤
I don't care what nobody says, Dorothy Love Coates was the best lyricist that ever was! That woman could write songs that make your insides jump up and down!!!!
Nothing like having the Lotd on your side. These old gospel songs gives you strength,hope patience & the desire not to give up but hold on to Jesus. Just another day to work in God's vineyard. Just another day to be in our Saviors care. Sam Cooke Just another day like Dorothy with her song & they made it monumental to hold on to when you feel like there is no hope. We stay in faith trusting in God ,His Word & His Promises He gave to us. God has been good to me in the good & bad times & has been there & never has left or forsaken me. I lone to see Him & the Father someday. Want to finish this race with flying colors. He deserve the best of Another day He Blesses me with. To Dod Be The Glory Forever & Ever. Let everything tha has breathe Praise The Lord!!!!!❤
I'm addicted to DLC!!! What an ANOINTING!!!! My wife just screams when she plays this song! This is her favorite, but she loves them all. She listens to DLC and TOGH every day, at home before work, at work, on the way home, and back at home until bedtime!!!! I think she may need to go into rehab!!!! Praise God!!!! Love Dorothy's voice!
I do love, Dorothy Love Coates. When I was just 13yrs old, the harmonetts would come to Augusta,Ga, home of the swanee Quintett, I would go to their programs, and just feel her spirit as a young girl. I am 73yrs old nnow and know and sing most of her songs. This one I sang at my retirement in 1999. I am so glad I met this woman of god. Her songs are so scriptual. This one is one of my many favorites. God Bless you for all of her music.
Yes indeed! This is the original composer and recording artist of this great song. Dorothy Love Coates has written soooo many songs that are still sung today, like "They Got The Word" and "I'm Just Holding On" both recorded by the Mississippi Mass Choir. Dorothy's "They Got The Word" is originally titled "A City Built Four Square."
I love this song...my life testimony..Dorothy Coates...a gospel matriarch. My mom played this record over and over ...and it stayed with me...HALLELUJAH!!!God is good..Thank you Lord...yea every blessing💕❤💕❤🙏🙏
Im 39 and was sitting at my desk. this song came to me. I can remember as a little girl my mom now 75 use to all ways sing this song.. omg.... I understand now. I love this song.
Thank you Jesus being my Father and my . Morher when my mother passed away You havent left me all these years Im 71 years old that one of my favorite song of Dorothy
Dorothy was one of the hardest working female singers and my heart was bleeding for her because the worlds 'WORST' DRUMMER' was playing the audiance pitched in and clapped in the tempo the song was to be in. I WAS NOT THERE BUT LISTENING I KNOW SHE SHUT HIM DOWN.' Only a real anointed woman of God could have pulled that off and she was the best.
Yes, yes, yes I'm here to testify that God has been my life-long guide. He brought me through the few bad times and blessed me abundantly in the many good times. Thank you Lord for never leaving that 5 year old orphan and still being right here today beside this 57 year old man telling anybody whose interested in knowing about my walk with Jesus. The Lord has been so good to me, He's guided my works, knows my heart and great joy will be mine when he says come to me my good and faithful servant. God has been so good to me!
this takes me way back,as a child my parents took me to gospel programs to see some of the old greats like sam cook, the caravans,edna g. cook,the 5 blind boys,etc,as i look back over my life i see the mighty hand of God because of the wonderful parents he blessed me with.even as a child i would listen to the lyrics and feel Gods presence,I'm so glad i tuned into you tube. peace land love every body
Ms Dorothy Love~Coates was my FAVORITE B'ham artist! Never missed a concert she held in B'ham! She didn't receive the honor that was due her down here & much was stolen from her! Glory be to God, she receive it All from The Father...The best award...accolade...& Greatest Reward when the Father said; Well done my good & faithful servant! Rest on, Ms Dorothy Love~Coates, I will forever hold your music close to my Heart!💝
No, this isn't the Shrine. The Shrine was from 1955...this recording is from 1972. The group accompanying Dorothy Love Coates are the DLC Gospel Singers. I'm so glad that you enjoyed. Take care and God Bless!
SANG!! DOROTHY!! DIDNT I HEAR BEVERLY CRAWFORD AND FANTASIA!! SINGING THIS SONG!!! KELLY PRICE TOO!! SHE WAS PIONEER OF GOSPEL!! THANK YOU!! SISTER!!#2020!!!
I love to listen to Mrs. Coates sing praises to God and bring the Holy Word of God in her songs, Sadly missed but never forgotten, I pray to see you singing one day in Heaven !!!
But coming from Primitive Baptist Church and my pastor was a member of a quarter???!!! I now know how anointed and musically blessed they were!!! But MOST CERTAINLY NO ONE can TELL ME or DO I WONDER WHY??? I think back over MY LIFE and what GOD has brought me through!!! My SOUL CRY THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!!! Thank YOU for my earthly mother and daddy who honored you to allow me to REMEMER YOU 1st!!!!! Although I strayed, and could've been Dead sleeping in my grave! I thank GOD for being GOD!!
The drummers dynamics are very good..... He or she more than likely has a RUDIMENTAL Drumming background with a touch of a CONCERT snare feel! Those buzz rolls are on point as well as the fills!
Songs that have meaning to them. That makes me want to praise God more and makes you look back over your life and be thankful for God for what he has done and is still doing for me.
That's my grandmother screaming in the background she was going through a hard time with one of her son's facing life in prison this was recorded in Tampa, Fl.
I really loved your grandmother's songs and her singing. I listened to her when I was a little boy. My daddy had her recordings and we would sit around and listen to her songs on 8-track and on 33 and 45 rpm. I loved this woman's song ministry!
So many thanks for this post! This is chu'ch for real, back when the deacons would rock, cry, & clap their hands, and the sisters would get stiff & holler. Takes me back to my home church!
I grew up on Sis Love Coates and the others from way back, and Sis. Love Coates was my absolute favorite. That woman had FIRE, and she was real and sincere about serving the Lord. This wasn't just a way for her to make money, she was REAL about her salvation!!! My daddy had all of Sis. Love Coates' 45's and 33 1/3's, and I am STILL a big fan of hers!!! Thank you for uploading these songs, brings back great memories!!!
Thank so much for posting this! I would have loved to see this on video too. I taught this song to the Senior Choir of New Light Full Gospel Baptist Church in Va. Bch. A good lady named Sis. Judy Foreman superbly led it. Well, we sang this one afternoon at the Mt. Sinai Baptist Church and got the same reaction from the congregation. (smile) Peggy Britt of the Philharmonics Choir was there too. When we were finished, she just waved her approval at me at the end when I past her by to sit back in my seat.
To those seeking the words: The original recording says "I could have been dead, sleeping in my grave", but in this recording she says "would have been dead.....". When it comes to songs like this you have to testify for yourself. If the words are a little different that's ok so long as the Spirit is moving on you to sing!
Glory Hallelujah! Jesus set me free! Thank you Jesus! Peace, love and happiness to you all ...He is coming soon! Oh yes, He has been good to me ...oh yes! yours in kindness michael....
I haven't passed out yet,!! but it's so heart warming to know that someone beside myself love this "great woman" of God as much as I do. Bless you my "child" for sharing the wonderful tributes.
The edge in this woman's voice is nothing but GOD. I Thank The LORD that she used her gift to lift YOU up.
The LORD blessed me with 70 years on 11/23/2020. Sure enough, I thank yo JESUS for bringing me all the way!!!
Heyyy that's my Bday awwwww
Dorothy wrote some great songs that many artists has covered and many times she has not been credited for it. This song is one of them. Sing Dorothy!

LOL!!! That's alright! I used to be the same way about Mahalia Jackson!
Unfortunately, I do not have the lyrics. You may be able to find them on Google.

I may need to check myself into DLC rehab too....I'm addicted as well.

Dorothy Coates and Joe Ligon are the most sincere lead singers i have ever heard.
I Love Old Fashion Gospel i can barley listen to this new stuff
When Gospel was anointed Gospel that brought conviction!!! Had to comment again!!!!
This kind of anointing and conviction is definitely missed!
