July 8, 2024 It inspired me on June 8th when it was sung at Glendale, AZ’s Kickoff to Juneteenth Event organized by the Black Business Owners Coalition of Glendale, Marcia Garland, Founder.
I’ve shared this with my middle school students for years now. They get kinda quiet in the presence of this perfect, skillful and passionate version of one of the most important songs in the land. What a blessed recording. Please keep sharing the great song of hope.
Mrs. Davis my third grade history teacher had the entire class sing this in school every single day. She wanted us to have pride in ourselves and not forget our history.. I remember the words to this whole song because of her.. R.i.p Mrs. Davis she was a great teacher and you gentleman did a phenomenal job.
I've given it 1 year.... I'm pretty sure this is the best rendition of our anthem I have ever heard. Every time I come back I've been more persuaded, and I'm convinced at this point.
The best rendition of "Lift every voice" is the one Junes diary. They didnt do the whole song but the part they did i was amazing. You should check it out. JUNES DIARY SINGING "LIFT EVERY VOICE".
Okay... I've happily listened to June's Diary, since two people said I should. I actually listened to several different videos of them singing. While I think they're really gifted singers, their arrangements of the anthem don't compare. Chords, cadence, even doing this whole song... they are not even in the same ball park. Granted, these are two totally different singing groups, with completely different objectives...I'm not at all comparing or contrasting the groups themselves. Because honestly it's apples and oranges. But as far as Lift Every Voice goes, Committed has this in THE BAG. All the way.
I agree. June's Diary's version is beautiful but this one is spine tingling! While both arrangements are amazing, I prefer the cadence and chord choices this one makes. It doesn't hurt that I'm biased because I sing 2nd tenor down to bass and this version is more in my vocal wheelhouse.
I had to come back. Lord, today had been a very difficult day for me. Thank you Lord for touching my heart through these young men. Praise Your Holy Name.
The gentlemen capture the universal essence of our culture in each of their voices!! You can hear our ancestors speaking to us though their voices!! I am deeply humbled and eternally grateful to pause and pay tribute to those who have paved the way for many of us today! Thank you gentlemen for sharing your phenomenal, unique and God given gifts!! May God continue to bless your beautiful lives for what you do!!
Every time I hear OUR anthem I am filled with so much pride. Nobody has more talent than black folks! We are the most copied, studied, emulated, culture ravaged and pillaged people on earth. God is awesome and He truly made US (Black people) in His image!
I can't stop listening to this beautiful rendition of this song. They should be the ones to sing it as the national voice. It should be presented always by this group.
Brings back memories of elementary school. All through the 90’s. Good times!! God bless us through this tragic time we all are dealing with. Every one reading this, keep your heads up pray. We will make it through this
This rendition of the anthem is giving me chills! May we always remember the struggle of our ancestors with expectancy, hope, dedication, faith and a determination to provide a better tomorrow.
the smoothness in their voices, the harmonies, the glimmer of hope in their faces, it's all so chillingly beautiful. i'm at a loss for many words, this was incredible to listen to, they're fantastic singers!
I am an elementary music teacher. I'll teach a special song then each week share exceptional recordings of that song. This is truly exceptional. I felt it right down to my bones.
Marilyn... I suppose with such a racist song as the black national anthem you wonder why teachers have come under fire for their teaching prejudicial topics. Now you know!
Outstanding I used to sing this song every morning back in 1980 at Martin Luther King elementary school in Dade county miami, florida. My national anthem says to be true to our God and native land.
This should be my 238 times of listening to this. I think this is the best of the Committed I've listened to! May your voices continue being blessed and blended.
I'v been playing this for my students and it's amazing to watch them stop all the stuff kids do in class and sit in total in total awe. Grades 3-8 they will hear more as we go forward.
Pretty pathetic there Jack --- you should be telling your kids about the real story about the real U.S. National Anthem: ua-cam.com/video/imLZd3us0b4/v-deo.html
Incredible. Absolutely Incredible. The way you spoke, tears to my eyes I'm not black but still you guys are speaking for God and your doing a great job Thank you.
OH. MY. GOD!!! This gave me chills and touched my heart and soul. I've listened to many versions of the song and this is definitely in my top 3! Blessings be upon these young men and their flawless voices.
Absolutely beautiful. Truly moving. Happy birthday America, may you continue to grow and may your citizens continue to learn to love EVERY human as themselves. God bless Earth
Oh, my God has given you all gifts! This is the most beautiful arrangement I've ever heard of the Johnson brothers', James Weldon (words) and John Rosamond (music) "Lift Every Voice," AKA the "Black National Anthem." That's saying a lot because I've been singing it since grade school. Your intricate, moving harmony and rhythm are symbols of the miracles we can bring about when we work together. Thank you for sharing your exceptional voices. I had to stand still and listen. Many blessings to each of you ❤
Beautiful, just beautiful. They just stood flat footed and sang. No drama, no hand gestures (that are very distracting) no rocking and rolling. Without the drama you're able to really appreciate the WORDS of the song. I wish we would teach this Anthem to our young people each Sunday.
What a beautiful song! Imagine having a Christian hymn sung over our land. This is about having faith in our all powerful God through our trials. Love it!
This song needs to hold a place higher than the Star Spangled Banner, it saddens me that I am only learning the history, meaning and weight of this song now. To see crowds with locked arms of all races, genders, orientations and nationalities signing this together moves my heart and soul to a whole new level.
And if you truly think about it this more American than the Star Spangled Banner, and has more meaningful of struggling times and how we can over come it
WOW-all I can say is AMAZING!! What are these Brothers doing now? I have to sing our Anthem at an event and was just browsing various renditions, this is probably the BEST a capella version I have heard. Made me think of Take 6.....
This will be sung for only the 1st week of the NFL season b4 each game. Would be nice to clone these guys to sing at every game, but I doubt that can be done.
This is our native land though. For real-for real! Read: The Lost Aboriginal Heritage Of The So-Called African-American. It lays out a preponderance evidence, with receipts.
Played this at our "virtual church" service. In support of the protests against police brutality all over our nation. My heart hurts and this music gives me hope. God bless these amazing musicians who sing from their hearts. Thank you. I know no one has posted anything for over 5 years so I hope someone sees this as a testament to God's grace no matter how bad things get. Thank you "Committed". You have done a beautiful thing.
Lift every voice and sing has never been sung so amazingly! These five voices can sing to my ears any time. Thank you for sharing your gift! This was sung in school when I was younger.
I rarely get emotional over things like this but I love this. I only know of this through searching police brutality videos (because I live in the UK and police ain't that bad here) and discovering The Advise Show, who played this at the beginning of a livestream. Through darkness comes beauty is what I'd say about this song.
This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Thank you, guys, for sharing your gorgeous voices, vocal arrangement and harmony and the powerful message of the song. Be blessed with all the favor of our Father
So proud to view this. Disappointed in my myself that I didn't teach and church did not to our children please share and stand in pride when we sing a song. James Weldon Johnson
Such a divisive song that proponents call the "Black National Anthem". It's not an effort to bring the country together --- but to divide it. We don't need this type of division in out nation!
@@samjames2552 we are all relatives at the end of the day but we are also broken up by tribes and nations. Sam James so what anthem should we represent ?
I was 6 yrs old when I first heard this song. Not realizing the song was first published in 1942. A black anthem that gave me hope, strength, an outlook to prosper. My biblical leader taught on the lyrics of this song. Hearing this song brought me to tears 😪😪😪 because I was so alert at this age to realize my parents were separating and we (my mom, me-6, my brother4 and my sister3, youngest sister 2) were walking to our new rental home after moving out of my grandmothers house-after living with her for a year. It brought me to tears because at this age I loved my black family but more than anything- I loved our Black (Israelites) people. This song gave me a feeling if liberty, joy and love. So, never put it past your child that they don't feel- they just don't know how to put it in words (their actions are their words). Stay in the Blessed Israel. Shalom. APTTMH!
Not really, dear; it's you who are homophobic and poorly socialized. Normal folks can read the lyrics, or listen to them, and sympathize with centuries of suffering. --Dave, and since _I'M_ gay, I do know whereof I speak, on this
Thank you for this beautiful rendition which inspired my music students to sit, listen, and learn as they realized that 5 good singers could sound like that!
Wow. Really? What about the jewish kids in your class? Wheres there history month? Wheres white history month? I mean the jews were oppressed even more than the blacks.
@@austin4688 I'm not entirely against this song being taught to children, as it has historical value to it. It was written in a time when black people were actually discriminated against. But yeah no doubt a bunch of liberals will use this song to indoctrinate and brainwash people.

Every Black Child should hear this song every day. I went to Catholic Schools all my life, and didn't learn this song until I went to an HBCU.
Praise God for young men who choose to use their gifts to honor God and add tribute to our heritage. They are still relevant. So proud of our sons!

This is so spiritual and uplifting, this hymn has brought us a long way. No other culture can replicate this talent! #blackmagic #blacknationalanthem
belizeanalienify actually only AFRICAN Americans can sing
non alien Uh..no. My husband was Black and he couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Besides, there are Whites and Asians who can SING.
Fabulous! A FB friend shared this and I'm gonna share it too. Songs of faith & inspiration are especially good to hear right now! Thanks. 👍
I listen every year, and it’s still my favorite rendition. Amazing job! Brings me to tears😢

I been a pan africanist my entire adult life and tears come to my eyes everytime I hear this rendition
I just can't stop listening to this. I'm addicted.❤

a shame they don't teach this to kids in school anymore. I remember singing this in elementary and middle school
I learned it in grade school, too, and remember it even today. It's a shame that today's kids don't even know about it.
We had this awesome music teacher named Mr. Delmedico and we sung this in choir. This song is really amazing.
I know! This is our anthem
i learned this in 5th grade
Ashley Mosley They do teach it to kids
Lord Have Mercy!! This is THE BEST RENDITION I HAVE HEARD!! AMAZING!!🎙❤️
Every time I hear OUR anthem I am filled with so much pride. Nobody has more talent than black folks! We are the most copied, studied, emulated, culture ravaged and pillaged people on earth. God is awesome and He truly made US (Black people) in His image!
I love being black and I love America. I wish America loved us back
Nobody on the 4 corners of the earth can outdo our musical prowess. We are undeniably the true emperors of soul.
My son has autism and this is his favorite song in the world .. He loved all of y’all videos but this is the one that puts him in a great mood

These young men sang this Anthem just Beautifully! Thank you, guys, so much. The blending of the voices is just phenomenal! Awesome job fellows!
Anyone who gave this a thumbs down knows nothing about music composition. This is fantastically and beautifully complex.
They're the racist that want to silent their voice.
I bet most of the dislikes are from racists. Has nothing to do with them genuinely liking or disliking the music.
There are people who will give a newborn baby a thumbs down just to get at you. Ignore the negative.
@@jacobsmithjr dang. Good point!
This rendition of the anthem is giving me chills! May we always remember the struggle of our ancestors with expectancy, hope, dedication, faith and a determination to provide a better tomorrow.
Make sure you get those same chills when theres a white national anthem played too! This is racist as F. Black national anthem my ass
