The Plantation Singers of Charleston, SC are a professional a cappella singing group renowned locally, nationally and internationally for their singing of the of the music of the Lowcountry. We met up with them and the group's director, Lynnette White, in Charleston, SC. Where they performed Swing Low, Sweet Chariot for RTL's camera's.
This gave me chills. Just to imagine my ancestors trying to keep positive creating these songs to communicate while working hard blood sweat and tears just to get through the day. And today these songs are timeless. 🎉
Had to sing the truth. Got me isolated in suicide watch in Hancock county jail.. lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How is it that slaves sang all the Israelite songs, well it is because we are the True 12 Tribes of Israel who were scattered to the four corners of the Earth.
I can feel it family!! Oh my...how beautiful!! ❤❤❤
Celebrate your history. Never forget. Embrace your ancestors.
They knew about Jesus
I wish people filled with racism and hatred would understand that we cannot changed the ignorance of our past, but we can change the future, with hopes of the world becoming a better place. It has to begin with each of us realizing no one is superior to anyone else, we all live, breath, eat, love, feel pain, and die. No one is exempt. No one deserves superior treatment and no one deserves to be put down and degraded. With that being said, Michael, you have a blessed day and may the peace of the Lord find a place in your heart.
Thank You Miss Sheila for your post,my wish is that ALL racist ppl will read it & change their ways.......in Jesus' name,Amen. DEAN MARTELL (Pgh,PA.)
Shelia Chambers. I'm sorry that my past hurt y'all I'm balling my eyes out
Well. Our bible says theirs no room in heaven with hate in our hearts .
Who’s micheal
Deuteronomy 1:1
[1]These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
Deuteronomy 7:6
[6]For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
GOD made us, the so-called Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans (actually Israelites) superior to everyone else upon the face of the earth.
my auinte is with the white head band her name is shay
+kendra jackson god bless her and the other singers
kendra jackson oh happy days
Oh happy days
She's the good looking one!
that is beautiful. truly amazing singers.
Cannot beat a black gospel singer superb
This isn't gospel
They dont Look Black to me the queens dress does tho and OfCourse there Amazing singers because there Israelites/Hebrews APTTMH
@@Damond_Warrior Gospel means good tidings. MY Ancestors sang this with FAITH. Nobody on the planet can sing like MY People but as like the walls of Jericho we can make any song sound any which way. This song of faith is definitely a Gospel song. Though some boneheads wouldn't grasp it.
@@robertlee9712 what the fuck are you talking about, the plantation singers are a group of african americans. weird as racist dude
@@nigelwoods187it obviously depends on preference. I would disagree with that statement, but that’s because it’s opinion not fact. How someone can say this isn’t a gospel song got m confused tho
Fantastic. Found while looking for old hymns for my 95 yr. old mom with dementia. she remembers old hymns
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, Ladies!
Sent chills up and down my spine!
Thanks.
There men to but yea great
One of my favorite songs, I tear up during the whole song no matter who sings it ❤ God please forgive me for all my sins and let me come home when you're ready!
Jesus Christ, save us. Amen. ❤
This reminded me of the Tongan church that I grew up in. The old ladies in the back could always sang the best. and the rich harmonies and riffs were fun to listen to and were full.

Beautiful song, sung beautifully. Amazing way to overcome evil & preserver
I just love what happens three seconds after 1:17. This is when it becomes clear what culture really is; history and the power of people's own story.
this is my favorite version of this song ever. so good!
I was reading a book by Martin Walker, where at a funeral in the south of France and American was being remembered. The singer a young lady from New Orleans sang this song. So I had to find it and listen. This version is perfect to what the book tried to share. Well done.
God bless my ancestors, and these Great sigers too...
I wish my people could think this way.
That's all I want.
Your ancestors were strong beyond belief, God bless them and you my brother.
🙏🏾🙌🏾👊🏾✊🏾
Singers* my brother
Coming from Australia, so much love ❤️
YO THAT'S MISS JACKSON!! I USED TO SING WITH THEM AT THE OLD AME.
Omg this music hits the soul just right.
Wow
When they say chariot they are talking about the Underground Railroad...when they say Jordan they mean the Ohio river they need to cross to get to freedom... when the say band of angels the mean the quakers and abolitionists who run the railroad. This song uses so many code words. This cover was beautiful
No our home is Jerusalem
@@ahmathisrael6207 HalleluYahuah!!!! That is the TRUTH.
Yes it went from southern USA travelling north to the Canadian border. In Canada the exslaves with free.
@@minstral111 shot out to Canada for helping us out
Amen! I forgot all about those meanings.
This song gives me hope on my worst days. And gives me pride on my best days.
Our ancestors were so witty, these songs were code messages for freedom fighters coming to free slaves..Underground railroad brilliance. If you take the C off of the word “Chariot”...What do you have??🤔..The song “Wade in the Water” (Wait In the Water) would be if you were to escape and dogs were around, find water to hide in and the dog couldn’t pick up your scent..Masterminds!
A riot?
@@blacksheepsquadron6189
“Chariot”
remove the C =Hariot
(Harriet Tubman)
No it was about the Bible silly.
@@slimcorntv9567 I know right?! It's clearly about going to heaven.
Maybe it was both about going home and code for freedom.
Beautiful, humble and graceful. Absolutely awe inspiring.
Beautiful.
We will all be carried home to the promised land where there is love and no hate.
Where there is one nation.
Heaven.
George Vreeland Hill Singing this, busting rocks under that hot Georgia sun on a chaingang. Fuck Georgia and the United States. Fuck em all to hell... and fuck your nation.
Since I won my appeal, which had my false conviction thrown out, for all that time in prison, I was basically a slave in the year 2003. Right in the middle of the god damn USA. Fuck everybody who says slavery isn't alive and well in the United States.
PC5032 the justice system here does suck here but there is none better. This country this world was ruined when Adam took a bit of the apple from the tree of knowledge and until this day we are to work by the sweat of our brow until he "Jesus" comes back but he is only coming back for his children. To become a child of God you admit you have sinned against him and your sorry and to plz take over your life.....and to take away all the pain and anger you feel and over time he will because to God of the bible never fails!
Only if you've accepted the love that is in Jesus Christ. My Great Grandmother used to sing this all the time. What a joy it is knowing I'll see her again someday.
+Gage Kinard nah fuck that hail satan
i hope so 🙏
my history teacher showed this us today, thank you mr.smith.
Love that u r wearing the African attire
If they looked over Zion and saw a band of Angel's coming to carry then home; then that wouldn't be Africa.
U would have to understand our culture, slavery to comprehend the message
Michael Israel You would be surprised of how many humans out there that dont see the torah as any real history at all.
That sounds like an unconventional interpretation to me.. I respect your own view but not very many would agree with you on that.
Fredo Sinsemilla You are right. The truth is very Unconventional, but it's not my interpretation. Matthew 7:14 Yahawashi said, "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
What is your Nationality if you don't mind me asking?
This makes my soul SMILE!!! 😊💕
How beautiful this is.. I just love this!
Sweetest "Swing Low" ever -- and I grew up with with that song.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Beautifully sung my dear SiSTARS!!
In honor of our dearly departed beloved Queen mother and revolutionary, the Honorable Ms.Harriet Tubman..🙏🏽❤⚘
My grandmother used to sing that song to me and rock me to me sleep :-) bless you all my brothers and sisters
A beautiful song about what my Lord is doing with my brothers and sisters in Christ.
That was so powerful, and beautiful. I can't even put it into words 💖 the history behind these songs and the beautiful voices who carry them on should be screamed from the highest top
That's what my church choir sounded like when I was a teenager! That is why I loved going there! Hallelujah!
Love this. My grandmother was a pianist for the Methodist church. I grew up hearing all the hymns. I loved this one.
Love this song; and what happened back then was such an embarassing part of the American history
Slavery still exists in the world just like it did then. Mauritania didn’t even outlaw selling slaves until the 1980s, and didn’t ban owning them until 2007, then had to do it again in 2015. It’s still rampant there. Look it up.
beautiful song ladies!! Love the harmony!
Let us humble ourselfs.....not others....Gods creation.....Halleluja...nice lovely performance....thank you
God bless these beautiful women with such soul. I love y’all sisters and , with all my heart. Beautiful voices
A very moving classic and well done performance. Love it.
Thanks for singing like christians in a pure African mood. Love it. Greeting from Jos-Nigeria. Mike.
So Beautiful ! We sisters sang this when we were young, in Indiana. Love it! And God bless you!!
I remember singing this when I was little. I have no idea where, but it's a song from my chaotic and traumatic childhood that makes Mr comforted by hearing it. I had to pick this version as this are the real ones ❤
OMG THIS SONG IS SUCH A VIBE! THIS IS SO AESTHETIC
So beautiful that it brings tears to my eyes.
Sooooo beautiful, uplifting, gave me chills, and I don't chill easily!
So moving! A testament to the strength of our minority community, God is good everyday!
Very beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤

***** Grammar skills! :D
I listened to this song yesterday in class (because we are analyzing Negro Spirituals) and I liked it so much, I had to search it up! I might ask my school choir to do it...
What a day that will be when we go home. Thank you for sharing. God bless you all.
To think I was introduced to this song through Alvin and The Chipmunks singalong tapes as a child-- learning the real whys and depth to it came later. It's much more beautiful, and whole, through these singers.
The best version I've heard. It has a rawness to it. I keep coming back to it.
This is actually the best version!! I love their voices 😍😍
This song reminds me of Ms. Marie Riley, She kept me while my Parents worked, and I remember this Song in Remembrance of Her, on S.W. 175th St.
Beautiful, ladies you do us all proud, that was a superb rendition!
Brought tears to my eyes, beautiful
Magnificent! May the Lord bless all of them!

This song, is... Amazing, listened to it for a few days now.
These ladies are awesome! I've seen them many times performing at weddings.
That was great, god bless you guys.
Powerful but even more so with added heartbreak when you see how Judy garland was forced to perform this song …
Never stop singing ladies! Sing it loud and proud - I can never thank beautiful black artists for the music that’s helped me through my whole life ♡ sending the utmost respect

When I wake up at 5am for shit wages I play this song in hopes that one day my chariot will swing low and carry me back home
I sang this song in elementary school for the school play, it will always have a special place in my heart.
I was just listening to the Bible where Elijah was carried away in a chariot. God is good.
They have beautiful vocals
