What a gift of joy she brings to my heart. I agree she needs more recognition. Miss Mavis sings like an Angel. Helps me through tough days of grieving my mom and dad. #FUCKCANCER
Breaks me down to tears everytime I watch this video and I am not a religious person but mavis put her foot into this song. God bless the world and mavis staples.
My God!!!! This brought tears from me. I can feel the Spirit of Christ - I cannot get enough of listening to this song. She put her heart, mind, and spirit into this beautiful, spirit-filled song....I love it!!!
This is such a beautiful song every time I go back to the song the tears start to flow not sad tears but Siri happy tears and I feel that deep down in my heart type a song God bless you whoever is reading this🙌🏾
I LOVE THIS SONG TOO!!! I still cry everytime I listen to this beautiful a spiritually song. My heart is filled with happiness and gladness to know OUR LOVING FATHER LOVES US NO MATER AND REGARDLESS OF WHAT!!!!! Marva Staples sung that song/ "HOLY HOLY"!!!! Thank U for your reply and GOD BLESS U
This is the most beautiful rendition of this song ever! I've been looking for this full version of this video for 5 years. Thank you to the person who posted it. Yes we got a whole lot to learn! AMEN
Once again have to go to some old school music to make it through another day! When will the country realize that police have to stop killing our black men. Stop assuming that every time they come across a black man we are not dangerous. I'm so sick and tired of this stuff. Help our country GOD. We need your help.
If you really understand the bible you would realize that Jesus is the one who is using Satan to do the killing. Because we refuse to obey his laws. Commandments. And statues. Read Deuteronomy 28. He explains the blessings and the curses and what he would do to those who disobey him.
This song has alot of meaning today. We do need strength and power from the Holy Ghost to bring about peace in an evil world. But we must believe in one another to accomplish the things God wants us too. We must conquer hate.
Before Leelah James... Before Lalah Hathaway...... Before Toni Braxton............... Before all of the aforementioned, there was the late Phyllis Hyman... ....and BEFORE ALL OF THE AFOREMENTIONED AS WELL AS THE AFOREMENTIONED PHYLLIS HYMAN....there was...and STILL is....the the one, the only....the incomparable....MAVIS STAPLES 👍🏾❤💖💙💚💛💜🖤🎼🎵🎶🎙🎛🎤
My mother just recently passed and every time I hear this song I think of her is powerful I feel her struggles I can't stop hearing this song it's something about it it's strong
I love Mavis' singing and have loved her since I was a young lady. The words to Holy, Holy are so indicated of the world that we are living in today . My husband, Sonny Mitchell, played bass for the Chicago Soul Stirrers and wrote a song, World Peace, which the group recorded. It really describes what we are experiencing in this world today. I personally wrote a song, There's A Man. I would love for Mavis' to record both songs, if possible. Mavis', contact me. I am on Facebook.. I have loved you forever. What is Purvis doing? I was sorry to hear about the passing of your other family members. Keep up the good work and please contact me My cell is 336-9657385-Diane Mitchell from Greensboro, NC Heavy Load by Mighty Clouds of Joy
I will ALWAYS be a Cosby Kid!!! Just think of the teachings, music and love that they showed not just brown skinned family but all. Keep your shows like Power, Empire and Real Housewives or Love and Hip Hop… will watch Cosby all day long!!
Of all the cosby episodes ,I truly missed this episode,but I am so glad to have viewed this ,and I must say mavis staples ,you really sang this song with such emotion and spirit ,,thank you so much
I am home sick for a time when my race were united and a Christian race. I am a baby boomer I was influenced by people of the 19th and early 20th century. They were not tainted by technologies that distract people of today, nor the lust for the world. Their love, faith and trust in God was real and from the heart and soul. Many in our race gained the world and lost their soul. Oh Jesus please come back.
eugene summers Study PROPHECY fulfilled SAINT MATTHEW TEN BEHOLD Faith and ETERNAL LIFE. Amen. REPENT!!!!!!!!!!!! PROGRESS in thee LORD GOD ALMIGHTY is in CHRIST JESUS. Amen and Amen. PEACE.
I am homesick to. Born and raised in the south (Jackson, Ms). I miss my Baptist church. Walk in the church, U CAN FELL THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE LOVE FROM CHURCH. Whatever happened to that home down church feeling. I reside in California. Well, I finally found 1 church. Praise God
SPEECHLESS! When I was child in early 1990's, it was alright to add on script and sing about Jesus. Moreover, there were many family shows to view. 2016-2021: 💻 (Tik Tok, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook) Great video! 👍🏽
OMG, Mavis Staples has one of the most powerful voices in the music industry. This song send chills to my body and tears to my eyes everytime I listen to her sing it. May God continue to bless her in a mighty way!
I have watched this video so many times and each time it has brought chills and tears. I love it,.. others have song it but no one does it justice like Mavis Staples.
I'm 54 years old, and I have never heard this song before in my life. I was sitting in my bed watching The Cosby Show, the first verse that came out of her mouth I knew I was going to love this song. When I pass away I want this song to be played at my funeral I'm going to make a request to family.
I promise I am not trying to be a butthole. And if this was stated before, forgive the repeat. The title of this song is "Wholly Holy". It was written by Marvin Gaye. The difference in spelling is important because it is the message of the song. "Wholly" meaning "Completely" and "Holy" meaning "righteous". Marvin was a master wordsmith.
The Staples Singers was a powerhouse. Especially Mavel. She is anointed and you can feel it when she sang Wholly Holy. Pop Staples did a fine job raising his girls.
I remember being on the floor of my living room as a child, watching this episode with my peeps. I knew who Mavis Staples was, thanks to my G-ma, and I remember thinking how in the world are they (Bill and the cast) still sitting down during this performance? My family didn't go to church, but I remember feeling like I was about to burst, trying to hide the tears in my eyes.
Beautiful memory I remember loving this song And being EXCITED when I caught this episode 😭😭😭 I also remember being VERY confused as a child because I knew mavis sang in the 70’s And I always thought she was elderly in the 70’s because of her voice So seein her in the 90’s seemingly middle aged I couldn’t make heads or tails of it Like weren’t u 65 in the 70’s? How u look 51 in 1991? Yeeeears later I found out her voice was just mature as a young lady and she always sounded raspy and older
After this ridiculous election results I'm so hurt. The future for my children and grandkids are in peril. As a 56 yr old black man raised by parents that went through the struggles of the 50's and 60's I understand what's going on. For everyone who voted for this racist womanizing little man especially Blacks Hispanics and women. Remember the old saying be careful what you wish for. You just may get it. When the stuff hits the fan don't start crying and complaining deal with it for the next 4 years. I've been asking America to wake up before it's too late. Now I think it is. My heart is heavy and hurting so much!!! My prayer is for us as a people and nation to turn our heads to the hills from which our help comes from. It comes from the Lord. Please dear God watch over us. We need you!!!!
Cullen Harris well God must have heard your prayers and sent trump : black unemployment is at the lowest ever recorded and black home ownership is the highest ever recorded !nothing to feel bad about bro !. Trump is doing more for you guys in one year than obozo did in 8 years. Respect the Don and celebrate your president
Just saw your reply. You must be out of your damn mind!! Having a job don't mean a thing if your wages can't pay your bills. This little man is so petty he won't even respect the passing of John McCain. He makes up stories and gets his news from Fox. Anyway can't get started on him. Have to deal with real problems in the world day to day.
This is the first song that I listened to every morning to acknowledge God's Holiness, Grace and Mercy and to be grateful for His patience towards human kind. To God Be The Glory for Ms. Mavis rendition of this song, it shows God's authority, that He is still on The Throne and is in Full Control.
@Charese Kirkwood as much as I agree with you you know doggone well Donald Trump is not going to have nobody singing anything that got to do with soul at his inauguration as soon as the first word come out holy holy he'll be like he can sit down LOL
I'm watching the Cosby show season 5 episode 26, we need this song right now, Yes Jesus left a long time ago, but he STILL reign sit on the RIGHT hand of GOD, still interceding on our behalf. Thank you Cosby Show...
this song will make a thug cry smh i truly loved this song. it made me think abt the old time church (holiness) i thank god for this video and everybody singing.
Written by Mr. Marvin Gaye! This song is called "Wholly Holy" (two different words...typical Marvin Gaye wordsmithing in action). Both he and Aretha Franklin also have moving renditions of this great composition! I wish Mavis Staples had recorded this too but this performance remains unforgettable. I remember watching this in real time and realizing as a kid that Mavis Staples could SING!!!
I love this version of Holy, Holy. I don't think she's ever received proper credit for her talent. She is a true legend.
Yes she is very talented
Renee' Scot
#FunFact Mavis Staples is the sole reason for Michael Jackson's iconic adlib "SHAMONE" !!!!
She is now accompanying Hozier on his song Nina Cried Power. She's a delight.
What a gift of joy she brings to my heart. I agree she needs more recognition. Miss Mavis sings like an Angel. Helps me through tough days of grieving my mom and dad. #FUCKCANCER
Breaks me down to tears everytime I watch this video and I am not a religious person but mavis put her foot into this song. God bless the world and mavis staples.
I know right!
I cry everytime I hear her sing let's do it again and piece of the action sound track she truly has it. My eye muscles weak
Yesssssss she did
Yes she did Amen
My God!!!! This brought tears from me. I can feel the Spirit of Christ - I cannot get enough of listening to this song. She put her heart, mind, and spirit into this beautiful, spirit-filled song....I love it!!!
This is such a beautiful song every time I go back to the song the tears start to flow not sad tears but Siri happy tears and I feel that deep down in my heart type a song God bless you whoever is reading this🙌🏾

Yeah. I'm stuck on this too. I wake up play this everyday. Several times while I'm at work and before I go to bed.
So authentic . Great production
PRINCE ALWAYS SAID SHE WAS HIS FAVORITE SINGER..LORD THIS SONG RIGHT HERE SHE DID THAT!!
That song is so Beautiful, encourage me to continue to keep walking with God.
AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL...AMEN

Heard about his version...going to see it next! The Aretha version is awesome too!
@@lavoniagraham36 Yes, I like Aretha's version too. Her version sounds angelic. However, I love the Mavis version as well.
Aretha’s version is one of the greatest
Those soul stirring ladies in the back with the improvisational cries are phenomenal. Love is alive in that space for sure.
This is the most beautiful rendition of this song ever! I've been looking for this full version of this video for 5 years. Thank you to the person who posted it. Yes we got a whole lot to learn! AMEN
I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it
I love the way she takes steps when she sang "help me put my feet on the ground
and how empassionate the choir director is
and how empassionate the choir director is
I remember watching the "Cosby Show " when this episode aired.
Barbara Jones i was watching this episode this week , I had to find it on you tube
I never will forget that night. When Mavis started singin, the whole house went silent. 👏👏👏 #HolyLord!
Barbara Jones Never saw this😢😢😢Never knew this episode existed #YesMissMavis
Me too
@@curtiswhiteheadjr1322 yessssss
This version is better because of mavis, the choir in the back ground, the song and of course that lovely church.
U better Sang Mavis!!
Beautiful song! However the choir sang she talked through the song and did not sing. Love her though.
This one right here??? I mean this one right here? Lord Jesus.
Seen this a 1,000 times. I still get the shivers and tingly when I watch it. WHOOOOOO SHE SUNG THIS !!!!!
Man why I got to cry everytime I hear this beautiful voice. She simple is amazing
That hum at the beginning speaks to my soul. I can hear it all and feel every emotion.
Once again have to go to some old school music to make it through another day! When will the country realize that police have to stop killing our black men. Stop assuming that every time they come across a black man we are not dangerous. I'm so sick and tired of this stuff. Help our country GOD. We need your help.
If you really understand the bible you would realize that Jesus is the one who is using Satan to do the killing. Because we refuse to obey his laws. Commandments. And statues. Read Deuteronomy 28. He explains the blessings and the curses and what he would do to those who disobey him.
Amen and Amen.
3:15 That background improvisational wail is mind boggling! That came from a deep place.
This song gets my Teary eyed always🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
This song has alot of meaning today. We do need strength and power from the Holy Ghost to bring about peace in an evil world. But we must believe in one another to accomplish the things God wants us too. We must conquer hate.
Wow so soulful.. God is so good
Before Leelah James...

Marvin Gaye version is also Nice!!! It's featured on the What's Going on album.
FancyPants69 Marvin is the original! He actually wrote it. And then Aretha’s version and then Mavis.
@@iamnonny007 Exactly, Marvin wrote this beautiful song.
This song digs deep into my soul..
Yes ma'am

Mines too
she has a boutiful voice sing on
We have a whole lot to learn
Whomever clicked the thumbs down on this song, YOUR SOUL IS ON DRY ICE.
+2biscuits I bet they did a thumbs down because of Bill Cosby, not the song.
+Robin Weisbrod lol
Even if it was because of him that's crazy
29 devils!
Bill Cosby act like he was hating, everyone in the audience clapped, but him, he's nothing but a crook anyway
Still listening 5/31/2021. Chills. Feeling the spirit of the this Legendary Queen and the choir. She "Sang" This Powerful Message. Thank you LORD!
I feel the Holy Ghost

A real nice gospel rendition of Wholly Holy by Mavis Staples. Do enjoy!
Lyrics:
Ah, wholly holy, come together, holy
People we all gotta come together
'Cause we need the strength, power, all the feeling
Show the feeling, Wholy holy
get together, one another
Wholy holy
Wholy holy we should believe in one another
Jesus left a long time ago, said he would return
But he left us a book to believe in
He left us a good book here
And In it we've got a whole lot to learn
A whole lot to learn
Oh, wholly holy
We can conquer, we can conquer, hate forever
Oh yeah wholly, we can ah, we will
Talking about the love, love love love love,
Make love our salvation
If we come to together, if we just love one another, love, Love , love love love
Holy holy holy holy
We can conquer, we will make love... our salvation
Yes where we are, yes where we are
Keep on walking with the Lord
Walk with me Jesus, come with me Jesus
Move with me Jesus, give me your Spirit
Send your Spirit, send your Spirit down
Help me put my feet down
Keep on walking with the Lord, talking with the Lord
Can't you see yourself, singing and shouting with the Lord?
Wholy, wholly, holy, holy holy
Yeah, yeah yeah, Holy.....
[original lyrics ommitted:
Rock the world's foundation... Yes we can
Everybody together, together in a wholy
We'll holler love love love across the nation... Oh, oh
Wholly holy, all together in wholy
We proclaim love, our salvation
Oooh, ooh]

You can’t even compare this to Aretha’s🥲🥲GOD is amazing
When u think u have nothing left to give to the Lord, Mavis makes u reach down even deeper and pull out the rest. Holy Holy indeed.
A true unsung hero. One of the greatest to ever do it.
LOVE CONQUERS ALL!! HOLINESS IS STILL RIGHT! THANK YOU JESUS!
I remember this song from the Cosby show. It was from the episode the storyteller.
Thank you for uploading this professional copy. Always Loved this rendition! Sing Mavis

I have to play this song tomorrow as i prepare for Sunday worship, since my church is doing live streaming since the coronavirus pandemic.
She has a fab voice its a gift to sing so well
Never get tired of hearing this version of the song. It really makes you think

Awesome Holy is the only WAY!!!
This is the first song that I listened to every morning to acknowledge God's Holiness, Grace and Mercy and to be grateful for His patience towards human kind.
To God Be The Glory for Ms. Mavis rendition of this song, it shows God's authority, that He is still on The Throne and is in Full Control.
2018 still in love!! Brings me to my feet! Praise Him!!!!
This scene was about 25 percent of the show, if you throw out the commercials That's how much they valued her singing.
I love me some Mavis Staples! True legend! Her voice is so powerful it brings me to tears
Love this song so full of the Holy spirit and Love 💙❣️❤️
she should sing this at the 2017 presidential inauguration
right
I agree 100%
@Charese Kirkwood as much as I agree with you you know doggone well Donald Trump is not going to have nobody singing anything that got to do with soul at his inauguration as soon as the first word come out holy holy he'll be like he can sit down LOL
John Barrett Trump is of God one million times more than Obama.
john appleseed what are you SAYING??!! Like HOW does that RELATE with what @John Barrett comment?!
Glory to God... if we jus love one another!!! Amazing song, love her distinctive voice.❤🎶🙏🌏
This Version Gets ME Every TIME Y'all. So DIFFICULT to HOLD Myself Together.

Powerful
Remembering Marvin Gaye❤ She and Aretha does his classic well. Chills
In light of the family of mike brown....I dedicate this song to them. 😢
Yes
Yes
I dedicate this tune to Donald trump for getting black unemployment to record lows and black home ownership to record highs . Thanks don
I like Arethas version better! But this was great!
Aretha version is way better
That's because she's Aretha Franklin and this is Mavis Staples. 2 entirely different people
@@chrisporter7884 Marvin Gaye for me
This is better she has that raspy voice
Chris Porter yes it is
I'm watching the Cosby show season 5 episode 26, we need this song right now, Yes Jesus left a long time ago, but he STILL reign sit on the RIGHT hand of GOD, still interceding on our behalf. Thank you Cosby Show...
this song will make a thug cry smh i truly loved this song. it made me think abt the old time church (holiness) i thank god for this video and everybody singing.
This SONG gives me goose bumps EVERYTIME I listen to it! wow
I can't explain her voice it's magic
So good to hear Mavis sing about Jesus, the Bible, and putting away hate to major on loving one another. Go Mavis!
I think this version is better than Aretha Franklins and Marvin Gaye's It something about her raspy voice that makes it difference.!!!!
I agree! I get so nostalgic when I hear and see this. I can't believe they took the Cosby Show off of the air...cause of some foolishness.
+soul2soul504 ...i agree...something about mavis's version is so powerful and piercing.....
HA - HA-
HAAAA- HA... ♫
TWeathers78 they ended the show on they own but it's on Amazon for 32.00 catch it before it goes back up
soul2soul504 i hate to say it but i have too agree with u
