This is the best singers ever! I grew up on these dudes. Thankfully i got a chance to speak to Howard Carroll on the phone when i was 15. Very nice guy. Very blessed
That's some of the greatest guitar I've heard; and the singing is celestial. They did a song called "Have a Talk With Jesus". It was the B side to "In the Morning". Some of the greatest example of spiritual music.
I can't stop watching this video. When I was a child the Dixie Hummingbirds, Highway QC's, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, 5BlindBoys of Alabama & more would come do concerts at our church as apart of their tour. It was a big thing in our community. They pull up & unload their equipment & everyone would be so impressed & Blessed to see our Brothers in Christ on Tour & Having Success! This video brings back memories of a sound since forgotten by so many! Thank You 5blindboys for posting
This is from Ashley James' film documentary "Loves Me Like A Rock" released in 1994 and was shown at various film festivals across the country. I saw the film when it debuted in Philadelphia followed by a performance by The Birds. Unfortunately the film was not released for wider distribution due to issues related to music rights. This segment moves me. To see and hear Walker, Tucker, Carroll, and Owens together is amazing. v
This is great! This is great!. I love this style. Not a lot of instruments to cover up. The great voices (sound like Hummingbirds) is masterfully and skillfully done. Every group that is singing need to set in on this class and learn how to deliver. They done a song also call Somebody"s Lying - Can anyone find it?
Hi, thanks for info and comments. I saw and recorded (VHS) this documentary video on The Birds in august 1998 on swedish TV, maybe if I sometime watch the whole film again I can see when it's done.
@methu124 Actually, Beachey suffered his stroke in 1991. Because my father talked to Beachey on the phone when my father had them come and sing at my church when was a kid. That was April 1991. Beachey died after that. And that David Sanborn show was 1989/1990
@casuele This is from a documentary on The Birds and in the film they didn't do more songs here sitting round the table. I have posted another complete song with them from the same documentary Dixie Hummingbirds - Dollar and The Devil (LIVE). Mostly there were shorter interrupted song clips in the film.
hello, I see that u said my grandfather is your great granddaddy. My mother has been trying to reach his side of the family. Whats your mom and grandma name?
Hi again, I watched the video again and at the end when production notes are rolling it is dated 1997! so some film clips must be some years older then. Maybe someday I'll put some clips together for a medley or two and post it here, they are often short 1 or 2 min and interrupted. There are also fine short b/w clips from 50's and 60's.

He is not in this video (maybe dead by this time). I think it's Howard Carroll on guitar and maybe could be the great Paul Owens in green jacket (who was with many of he great groups like Silvertones, Nightingales but I'm not sure) and there's Ira Tucker of course and the great James Walker leading here.
@tbeallday I googled it, can't find it for sale. I have it on VHS-tape, maybe someday I'll put some clips together for a medley or two.

I'm wonderin' if you can possibly post also the lyrics of this beautiful song , comments and prompts of James Walker included. Thanks a lot . Gigi Erba 20900 Monza MB Italy

Take care of me was the first song that James Walker composed and sang lead on 1954
Music goes on cycles and I believe this type of singing will rise again. Amen Amen.
This is the best singers ever! I grew up on these dudes. Thankfully i got a chance to speak to Howard Carroll on the phone when i was 15. Very nice guy. Very blessed
RIP gospel guitar legend Howard Carroll!
The master of the slow song: the late JAMES WALKER
That's some of the greatest guitar I've heard; and the singing is celestial. They did a song called "Have a Talk With Jesus". It was the B side to "In the Morning". Some of the greatest example of spiritual music.
Groups don't sing like this anymore, I have to listen to this daily, praise God recordings!
That’s everyone’s loss.
I can't stop watching this video.

I agree with you on that.

Oh yes I'm aware of that. It would have been neat to have seen him on here too.
Guitarist80 I remember very well that song Somebodys Lying".
I'm a white singer , and have been for over 50 years. I hear this and think " Ah, well.. back to the drawing board.'
You good bro lol🤗
@5blindboys Whats the name of the Documentary? Where can I buy it?
He is not in this video (maybe dead by this time). I think it's Howard Carroll on guitar and maybe could be the great Paul Owens in green jacket (who was with many of he great groups like Silvertones, Nightingales but I'm not sure) and there's Ira Tucker of course and the great James Walker leading here.
