What an impact on music! Blessed by the Lord, inspired by the Holy Spirit. Thanks to the colored folk for all they’ve done to make music what it is today!( white boy born in 1967)
In very VERY loving memory of Mr. BIG Henry Joseph Johnson (1929 - 1999 R.I.P. Gone but NOT forgotten).
Who is listening to this song in 2024?
I'm listening right now - I miss this old time music in the churches today - This is the kind of music that gets right down through your bones into your soul.
Mr I’m from Mississippi
✋🏻
I miss
I just played it today because it's Mother's Day, and it makes me think of mom. This is the gospel music we were raised on "back in the day" Reverend James Cleveland, The Five Blind Boys of Mississippi & Alabama, Mahalia Jackson, Shirley Ceasar and many, many other wonderful artists of the day. In still listening
🎶 ❤
The first man leading the song (Big Henry Johnson) is my grandfather. I am so elated to find this video as I only had the opportunity to meet him once when I was 13. And he passed away shortly after that. I am working to find out all that I can about him as I know none of his family or anything. This video is one way I can teach my child who her family is. Thank you for posting. Oh my profile pic is his son Henry Johnson, Jr. Don't they look just alike!!
P.s. I have since changed the pic.😊 That's me!
B4 i got 2 the last sentence, i was like🤔 who ever his profile picture is looks just like the man singing. Yup they look like twins.
Henry Johnson was given a voice from God he was truly a unique human being with a unique voice I love every song I've ever heard him sing you should be very proud of your heritage and I l love the beautiful men from Mississippi these men could sing
I tell you one thing....He can SANG!!Pure natural voice,none of the stuff back then that they use today to make you sound good.Back then you used your natural God given talent and he had it.Bless you and Rest in Heaven Mr.Johnson.And yes ,I see the resemblance in the picture,he has something to be proud of,such a Blessing.I have watched this 10 times now.
Wow I feel you seeing this makes me think back my grandfather's group he was in we don't hold a candle to old time singers imagine if racism didn't exist think of all the voices we didn't here
Listing 2 this on my wifes remembrance of her son who would of been 31 today....Amen and Amen...And Amen
O, LORD, yes, you sure have been kind to me. Your children of Israel.
Who is listening to this on Inauguration Day in 2025??? 😊❤
❤❤
They don’t make music like this anymore. Black southern gospel is by far the best! Music like this lifts u up so high u have to look down to see heaven! God bless!
Gods richest blessing on his. Dear children.
all israelite music is great no matter where you find us.

Me and my grandpa would sit outside and sing songs like this when I was younger. I’m grateful for those times. RIH Pawpaw
Me too
Just a guitar and 5 brothers 🙏 Heaven Sent
Awesome, timeless performances by first rate musicians and singers! Wow!
How could anybody put a thumb down on these guys, they obviously don't know the Lord by putting a thumb down, Because these guys doesn't have eyes, but they do have the voice!...and it's ringing through out the heavens.
Wow. Just....wow.
When I think of all the people who WON'T give God glory, and these men are disabled...wow.
I'm Muslim n I listen to this daily no matter what praising God is beautiful mashallah to Allah the savior praise his holy name n he shall raise ur spirit
@@Over-for-now leave me alone
Very inspirational! If the blind can find reason to thank God, I then should find more than enough reasons to adore Him. Thank you guys!
AMEN 🙏From Mississippi! Hallelujah...
Amen
Он видит Бога, Которого зрячие не видят.
Just what I feel at this moment . A special man .
@@janbishop728I second that from Alabama ✝️
I'm a German and this New Years Eve I will thank the Lord for all my Afro-American bothers and sisters, because they gave the world such wonderful music!
5 blind men, a guitarist, hands clapping and heart and soul in the music!!! Glory to God!
Who is listening in 2025?

I’m not even a Christian but these old time Gospel singers and groups tear out my soul each and every time. I’ve watched this video 6 times already. I mean Henry Johnson was a vocal anomaly. So much control, that range, such power....that growl....all without showing the slightest sign of strain or effort. Unreal!
J.A. Holland’s Quiet Storm
The Bible says "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the father of lightes , with whom is NO VARIABLNESS neither SHHADOW OF TURNING".James 1:17.
Those men sing from their heart to the one who made them , because of the grace of God on their life.God in his infinite wisdom come to us sinners, to embrace us with his unconditional and eternal love.For the word of God says, " GOD DEMONSTRATED his LOVE towards us in that while we were yet sinners CHRIST died for us".Ro.5:8.
When Christ was crucified at Calvery's Cross on the weight of the sinnes of the whole world, that was the most spectacular event in the history of the human race.It was the ultimate demonstration of God's infinite love for sinners.
My friend I hope you will read this whenever you come to listen this song.
If you are not saved yet and still watching this song for what ever reason believe that it is God who directs your attention to it.And I believe he has good things for you. The Bible says , "...God is not willing any should perish but all come to repentance".
The word of God also said ,
" All we like sheep have gone astray we have turned every one in to his own way, and the Lord has laid on him the inequity of us all".
"As it is written there is none righteous no not one".
"There is none that understands, there is none that seeketh after God".
"They are all gone out of the way , they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good no not one".
"Who so ever keep the whole Law and offend in one point he is guilty of all".
" There is a way that seems right unto every man but the ends there of are the ways of death".
The Lord Jesus said,
"I am the way the truth and the life no man can come unto God but by me".
Again, he said,
" I am the door if any man comes by me he shall be saved...."
The Lord Jesus alone fulfilled the requirement of God' s moral law for we sinners by upholding it.Only the life of our Lord on earth pleased God the Father.The bible said
" Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believes".Every one of us who decended from Adam and Eve came in to this world with inherited depraved nature.The word said " Behold I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceived me".
God is holy he can not be approached by sinners.
Salvation is completely the gift of God' s free grace.
It is completely a matter of knowing our impotence to come to God on our effort.It is about setting a side self righteousness, self confidence to approach The Holy God and only placing faith on what Christ have done for me at the cross.This is God's method of salvation and the Lord Jesus the only way to God.
I must be sincere admitt to God I am a sinner and humbly ask to forgive all of my sinns and ask him to give me eternal life on the basis of what Christ has done for us at Calvery.
Then, God will keep his promise to save. His promise is "Who so ever call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" .Please, repent your sins and ask God to save you and he will.
@@shalomgomez970 Bible lesson well taught. I praise God for you. It means so much to me as a Christian to see your faith being put into action through taking your time to reply spiritual truth to another soul needing Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. I am in agreement with you in prayer that this person is of a repentant heart and received Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior. Thank you so much for your time, patience, bible study and life-giving Word of God directed to those in need. We have been there.
Peace 💖
Ms. Sharon
God is talking to you sister let him in and believe
J.A. Holland’s Quiet Storm . become aChristian!
It's that holyghost anointing!! It breaks the yoke of sin!!!! Hallelujah!! It makes all the difference!!!
Just found this march 2020 63 year old white woman stuck at home because of the corona virus wow sends chills down my spine 👏👏👏👏👏👏
That's real gospel singing there. 🙌
Thank you My Heavenly Father for all u have done for me…You have helped me Endure s many Obstacles in my Life…….And I Thank u and I love you….AMEN
41 year old white and Indian(native) here. I too got into this Blessed Gospel music during the sickness...I think in my case it was a natural progression as I always enjoyed soul music. May I suggest a few more? Check out anything by the Rev. Julius Cheeks. A Great Album is *Songs of Praise* he did with the Sensational Nightingales.Also Mighty Clouds of Joy, The Gospelaires, The Evereadys, Robert Blair and the Fantastic Violinaires, Rev. Samuel Kelsey, 5 Blind Boys of Alabama,Inez Andrew's, Mahalia Jackson, Etc. I only brought up skin hue because you did. I think we can agree music is a bridge that transcends Color...Have a Blessed day!
HALLELUYAH praise YAHWEH sis! HE YEHOVAH ROPHA TGE GOD WHO HEALS!❤
@@jackpalance9509oh thanku sir. ❤ thanku 4 the unfolding of my soul with names I never knew. God bless ya
The blind can see what seeing people cannot
You ain't never lied speaking the gospel truth God you
"I was blind...Bt now I see.... U say u can SEE.....yet Ur Blindness remains..."
Said the Blind man
AMEN AND AMEN
Our Lord Jesus Christ Son of God show mercy on Your world
Amen and Amen🙏📖
Who here in 2021? My my my. Can never get tired of the 5 blind boys.
The lord has been so good to me I feel like traveling on
Our of blue this song came to my mind ... 11/15/22..... Haven't heard it for years.
God works in mysterious ways.. He is all-knowing and exactly at the right time.
😮 the world is a mystery
I don't care what anybody believe it or not that was having a good time don't let him get to you that's not kill it's a mystery my father speak for me God bless you ❤️
My grandfather took his last breath in my arms and we were listening to one of their songs he loved them
I was playing this song to grandpa while he was bed ridden after battling Covid. He enjoyed it a lot. It got his soul jumping
guitar is so simple that no one can play it anymore...
Some of The Very Best Gospel Music I Have Ever Heard, We Need To Bring Back Some of This Kind of Gospel in Our Worship! I Love These Men! Now I'm Dancing!!!
I agree :)
This will never get old! 🔥
NEVER EVER 🙌🏾🙌🏾
NEVER! I’ll take this over what’s out now.
Make a grown man cry 😫
Who says blind folks can’t see ! Often they see much better than you and I through their heart and soul that is !
Thank you Lord you been good to me my mom turned 91 today
I want to dedicate this song to my father who passed away March 12th 2019 I can still remember him singing this song in the Church Choir! I Love You So Much Daddy! Rest in Peace Until We Meet Again!
Leon M.Allen 9/3/41-3/12/19
Он у Бога, там ему лучше! Кто у Бога, тот счастливее нас, еще живущих здесь.
That’s my great great grandfather swear
This song goes so far back!!
that is big henry Johnson on lead,i sung with him back in the day
+Leon Holston That's Archie Brownlee on lead, my brother. Henry takes the lead in Leaning on the Everlasting Cross, I think.
+Lamont Lewis , no sir not in this clip. Archie was gone by then. That is clearly Henry Johnson (unmistakably for those who know, no offense)! The question is what's the name of the guy that came in on the end (that was not Archie either)!
Yep, you're right Steve A. My bad. I've been calling Henry the wrong name since '56. Happy to have the old guard around to correct me.
Leon Holston who wrote this song?
Leon Holston who wrote this song?
I don't know what it is, but his testimony in the beginning got me tearing up
Even as an atheist I'm more than happy to declare that there is evidence of the spirit moving through these men's voices...God also blessed that guitar tone.
Come on in to the fold brother.
¡¿¡¿ ....now THAT is an...oxymoron ¿¡¿¿♡♡
These are REAL men, singing in praise of God and expressing their thanks.
This music is timeless I can remember listening to it as a child growing up in the seventies. The Five Blind Boys of Mississippi music has kept me close to God.
Well here it is October 10,2019, and today my first time ever listening to the Blind Boys! They were and are great!
Whoooooweeee! This is the kind of guitar playing I grew up on...the kinda church we used to have!
Henry Johnson was so terribly underrated! This man could have been one of the greatest Gospel singers ever or crossed over to Soul music and been up there with Wilson Pickett or Otis. He had it all. Nobody sings like that anymore. Not even in black churches. This way of singing is a lost art form.
He never crossed over Thats what makes it so great
He WAS the greatest. He didn't need the riches or approval of the oppressor to nominate him for greatness! His gifts came direct from God! This how we survived enslavement, Jim Crow Apartheid, picnic lynching, etc.!
I came to Jesus late in life but I'm glad I did
My feet just got happy, Head bopping 😇. “Whom the Lord sets free, is free indeed!” Mark 20:45
TO GOD BE THE GLORY.
This is the day when having a guitar and a pair of hands was all you needed for a good time
Will always be true.
this is the only kind of singing I understand this is what I came from I don't understand this modern-day chart gospel I just don't understand but I sure love the old time songs
When the guitarist goes into the drive at 3:31. Love it.
that's what I'm talking bout..
good ol hand clapping,feet stomping gospel....glad I came
across this video.
Same as pastor t.l Barrett. So hard to find but moves the soul. It’s real. I hope we get new soul gospel for this generation.
This was an electrifying anointed performance! We are blessed. With singing like these you cannot get depressed. It's the power of the gospel inspired by the Holy Ghost.
The words are fantastic and the singing is Heavenly, plus the guitarist is playing beautifully. Thank you Lord Jesus!
They can't see but they can SEE. Praise the Lord!
Lord thank you for opening my eyes when i could not see clearly,for giving me understanding when i just didn't get it for giving me strength when i had given up
Amen
Some people are just born with it..................................praise God.
Thank God for my ancestors. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I been running for Jesus for a long long time…..I’m young but I started out when I was knee high….preaching, singing, playing music and going strong.
When I hear this I visualize my Grandmother (RIP) in Georgia in the 60's in the kitchen on Sunday mornings listening to this, and now I see that it gave her strength that I didn't understand at the time.
This was great, thank you Jesus.
The best musical instrument that’s been developed thru human history is still no match to a human’s voice !
I love the music, I love the lyrics, I love the blind boys of Alabama, but most of all I love my God and His amazing grace.
The lead singer is an absolute fire breather. So dope
Thank you Jesus , these gospel singers really know how to reach your soul amen.
2023 GOD IS STILL GOD
I love good church music. This kind of music make you want to shout, dance, etc...
yes
✋🏻
I'm sorry ☹️
Men like this paved the way to our greatness as a Nation. Do you recognize the obstacles that they overcame long before MLK? People we are here to stay so get used to this strength of character. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord! Don't spread hate. Jesus said the greatest thing is love.
Amen, The steps of a righteous man are order by the lord. Even Jonah in the belly of the whale. Whom the Lord set free in free indeed
Awesome... I love Old Gospel / Spirituals . The Guitarist was perfect Vocals and Feelin was Inspirational. It's so true without Jesus we ain't got Nothing !!!!

They have no eyes but can see jesus...But people walking around with 2 good eyes but cant see...God is good...
JESUS must be honoured
2021 still making a difference in our lives......Henry Johnson still lives through the music.....
Humbled and mightily blessed by this. All praises to the Most High Yah!
So blessed to come across this video, to hear them singing & praising the Lord. Such a blessing.
2020!!!!!!
I needed to find this,
If today was the last day of my life I promise you....
No regrets GOD OS GOOD 🙏🙏
I love this kind of gospel music. Upbeat soulful and fun.
As a kid growing up on Chicago's West side this music was everywhere!! Loved it then and I love and appreciate it even more now! Praise God!!
They do not have gospels like this any more. I love these old gospels.
This right here!!!!!! is the FOUNDATION. It's a shame how we have lost this. Most of what we have today is singers showing EVERY run they can do and bands over playing the singers as they also try to show how many chops and changes they can do.
The Fender Jazzmaster guitarist is on point…love quartet music!
I like this good old gospel music.who can stay down when you hear.this.jesud is my God and he is good to me.
That testimony was so touching.
Oilovelovethe5blindboys
As I said over and over again and will continue saying it to my grave and into my next lifetime: rock and roll is black people's music and it came from the black church. This performance was mind blowing and amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a living testimony that my Heavenly Father, Yahuah has been good to me and for me...
They have brought joy to my heart. Thank you Jesus for leading me to this video
OMG.... I grew up on this music because my daddy loved this music...
I love it 🙏🌈
Same here but I grew up in my granddad and grandma’s house.
You do too.praise the lord I ,m loving it.
@@mikepayne4387 I did too. Its cool.To God be the Glory.
BEAUTIFUL!!! THESE OLD GOSPEL GROUPS ARE LEGENDS!!!! I REMEMBER MY FATHER AND MOTHER PLAYING THESE SONGS WHEN THEY WERE ALIVE ON THE STEREO RECORD PLAYER THAT PLAYED RECORDS 45" AND ALBUMS 33".
Love that guitar! Guitar players done play like this no more.
My hands started vibrating as I was clapping and glorifying God! HALLELUJAH!!
SweetRefreshment
Probably because you were clapping
Jesus wtt work it out
Jesus will work it out
Yes! "Cultural Meaning-Making" and "Who Are WE to Each Other" many years ago my father and I; this is what we listen to over and over again on an old vacuum tube Radio. ❤💪🏾
This the type of gospel I grew up on 2020 I'm still here
There are no words to describe this music. Our music. Musicians nowadays should learn a lesson from folks like these ancestors.
I miss this music. In times like these.
MY SOUL IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!
royadam merritt amen
i wished they were still singing like this.its great.i love it🙂🙂👍👍👍
God's still in charge here yall
I know my daddy who loved all those old time gospel singers, is up there in heaven walking and singing around God's throne with these songsters of Zion!
They could see God, a straight stream to heaven
Lord you been so good to me better than I've been to my self I thank you for this gospel song .thank you jesus
This is real praise right here!!
Music like this need to be sung ever day,*
I look at this video. Cookin'! I look at the joy on those faces, and I wonder, what in the world is wrong with us (materialistic culture), that we can't just be thankful for what we do have. Inspirational.
Linda Winholtz be happy with what you have amen you said it sister love in Jesus I AM BLESSED BLOOD BOUGHT
Oh sweet sister Linda you said it all! Philippians 4:11-13. I used to drive my sweet Mama back to visit our family back in Mississippi every year or so and just as soon as we got in range we started searching the radio for this kind of Gospel music. This brings back sweet memories.
