I would’ve been the one dum dum that clapped in the end 😂
😂
Joelle Lejano there would have been two of us!!
Make that three ;-)
Joelle Lejano me second. Standing up and clapping.
😂😂😂😂 that was so gonna be me
Don't mean to be stereotypical or racist in any manner but black choirs have so much soul and raw emotion. They always blow me away.
Ik what you mean. They just have soul that other races can't replicate.
the people in the choir have never been slaves, they were amazing but not because they had experienced slavery! cant they just be amazing because they are?
But some of their grandparents were. And many of those old folks were alive in the pre-civil rights era. And black folks today still experience racism on a daily basis.
Daniel Sadjadi +We have all slave blood and the blood of slave owners in us. We all have the blood of colonialists and the colonialized in us. And by the way just because some one has been oppressed don't mean they we never be an oppressor, in fact the opposite it true. This is how the cycle of child abuse continues. The experience of oppression is universal and does not give you magical qualities. By the way Africa is a mess today and it has nothing to due with the west. The African country that were never not colonized by the West is still one of the world's; Ethiopia. Africa is poor because of tribalism.
I get what you mean and I agree with you to. And BTW I don't think you are begin racist or
stereotypical in anyway. :)
There's something about black voices that will always touch the deepest part of my heart. The raw sound of the soul of black choirs never fails to make me cry.
Glad to hear. I thought I was emotional.
There is no such a thing as a Black voice.
@Merlene Taylor That is a wonderful and accurate description.
We have the voice of our slave parents, we always can feel what we sing.
And you no why that is because were the children of the most high.
I my opinion this was the highlight of the ceremony - absolutely fantastic
It is!
Me too.Very emotional but beautiful
Ben E. King Would Be Very Honored
Bennie would have loved this ❤
yOU DON'T KNOPW THAT YOU MORON.
Why? Because his song had been sung during a white wedding? Please don't mix things that way! This song WAS AWESOME BEFORE that banal wedding in a brit royal family where royal means nothing that titles, no more authority, no more influence, JUST TITLES! YES SIR!
@@joetke No, because his song was rendered beautifully by a choir of black voices on a worldwide stage. Regardless of what you think, this wedding, and therefore this performance, was important enough to be watched by people around the world. It's true that we can't be sure exactly how he feels, but that seems to be the honest sentiment behind this comment. Please take your screaming and politically charged statements elsewhere.
Those OOOHs had me swaying they sound like Angels!
Not a smart phone in sight. This is how my wedding will be conducted.
televised instead?
Amiel I hope you don't mean shutting your visitors out of the actual wedding view?😆 If I'll be invited in this kind of church, no thanks.
No just a big camera streaming worldwide, no biggy
Phones aren’t usually used during a wedding ceremony lol
Just about a hundred professional camera crews instead
To me this was the most touching moment of the wedding. Different cultures embrace each other, boundaries vanish, physical and cultural. We are becoming just people, earthlings instead of national, racial and so on labels. This is the world I wanna live in.
Maria Ivanova
This is exactly why I am crying lol. Such a beautiful moment
Maria Ivanova you're right
Maria Ivanova l lost it when they sang😭😭😭
Amen.
And bishop Curry
You would expect Megan or her mother would have been the ones to suggest that this choir play, but it was actually Prince Charles who organized the choir to play at the wedding. Shows how much respect he has for Megan's heritage
@Grace Bertrand so according to you, she needs to live in a ghetto with 4 kids from different fathers, and listening to hip hop while eating a bucket of KFC?... well, that sounds pretty racist
This choir is from his country.
Really? WOW THAT'S BEAUTIFUL ❣️😍❤️🎶
@@usagi18 who's that?
@@SuperBerya who?
Diana would be so proud
KAM GT very proud may she rest in peace
Princess Diana she is truly missed and yes she would have been so proud of both of her sons.
This was one of the best thing in the whole wedding
Anime Music couldn't agree more
Yes,You ar e you
I agree!!!
Anti Comm you're right, they're amazing ❤️
The other best thing was the kiss
He stood by her. ❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I wasn't expecting a random UA-cam comment to break me down today, but dammit, here we are ARE YOU HAPPY
@@mr.mrs.g1184 yes. ☺️
Glad!
Whos still watches this beautiful choir after 4 years
me
Almost 3 years later, this is still one of the most magical videos on UA-cam.
Im African American an was so proud whn this Beautiful choir was singing , my soul was happy..♥️♥️♥️✝️
This makes me teary. Rest In Peace Queen of Hearts. Your baby boy did you proud today. Such a beautiful day.
❤️🌈❤️
MagicalMusic34 HIS "WEE MUM" WOULD BE SOOOO PROUD x
MagicalMusic34 love love your comment
I agree. Well said.
its really beautiful to see this
2:03, I love how Harry looks at Meghan and then when they smiling at each other 🥺😍
True por.false their LOVE?
he asks will you stand by me😊😊😀
.
One of the best renditions of this song I've ever heard
IDIOT !! How about the African blood that soils the White British Royal Family !!
You got it right - you are an idiot.
Can the choir director be anymore beautiful?
Sol Mer KaBa Akoma -- And that hairdo!! Hours in the chair! Lovely and stylish.
Sol Mer KaBa Akoma..... BEAUTIFUL!!! 🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵🎼
Gorgeous!
Sol Mer KaBa Akoma right!! Beautiful
Sol Mer KaBa Akoma shes a definition of true beauty so conserve your comments???
After the 4 years of wedding still this songs is the powerful message for the love and Hope ❤️
Yup agreed! Still gives goosebumps the same as when I heard it the first time. My mom whooped at the end and cheered so loud! Clapping lol😂 how they didn’t in the church I have no idea! 🎉🎉🎉
He is standing by his wife.
Trendy Blue Zar A MAN 👏
Prince Harry is the blueprint of a real man.
This was probably a coded message of what was to come... she was his way out
@@snowball6175 Can't believe people actually thought Harry wanted to be apart of the Royal family after his mother's life and death. Sad, that people can't see him as a person and not apart of the "royal family". To me that's disturbing.
@@bohwe43 Agreed
Who would have ever thought! They done let us into the Royal Family. 👑
NANDO R/T incoming racists towards this comment lol
I'm black and I would not have ever thought also. For real.
It was all for show trust me, royal family is racist AF lol.
Royal family - we're not racist, look we have a black friend...
Already have you’re 300 years too late. Look up Queen Charlotte, she was King George’s wife during the American war of independence. Had 15 kids, 13 of whom survived into adulthood. One of her kids fathered Queen Victoria, so you can claim the current lineage of the royal family are black descendants of Charlotte.
Oh, how Princess Diana would have loved this. Love is colorblind. She was a princess of the people and she instilled the quality in Prince Harry to grow up knowing that love has no boundaries. This is amazing!
your comment made me tearfull....
Are you kidding? This is Diana's biggest revenge. This is possibly the most number non-African blacks these royals have ever been with in the same room. They don;t even have black servants.
Beverley Noble 💝✌☺
lotus 3.0 Amen to that! Peace. ✌😃

The gospel choir were out of this world
Jason Riley
You've lost me what
I love hearing them sing this it’s like walking into the gates of heaven and earning my wings 🥺
You read my thoughts. It feels like a gathering in Heaven. It's amazing.🇧🇧🙏🌹🙏🌻🏵️🌺🦋💕
So true
As a white man I would love have something like this at my own wedding. This is just overwhelming of beauty and purity. It embodies love and kindness. So happy my old europe finally open to such a piece of art and culture.
well gospel the gospel is specific to afro-american people. I am not saying choir don't exist in europe but this particular way of singing come from north-american culture.
I believe it was a choice of the new couple to have such a choir. So no forced opening here. And afro-american culture is a part of the American culture. I don't see any problem here either.
Sir Leonor waisting your time tryn explain, the person you replying to might be an undercover racist. If so dont see how one can live in hate. Ugh!
Sir Leonor I'm with you brother . I heard a man ,maybe Spanish, sing on a christian channel once. He sang so beautifully and anointed. I didnt understand a word he said but he can sing for me anytime anywhere .
Even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can feel the emotions. That's the power of singing.
This was the most awesome part of the ceremony.
Bill Claxton
Yes
This was the most memorable moment of the wedding for me. So beautifully sung
Me too! I thought they all looked so beautiful and it was a very special moment.
Yes! :)
Hearing this very American (and much loved by Americans) song in such a British context was unexpectedly moving. It actually brought tears to my eyes.
Even sang by a British choir!
E muito lindo ❤️
@@christalbeex that’s an American choir not British
@@nubianqueen4375 no this is a British choir… none of them are American.
@@christalbeex okay thanks
Beautiful wedding from start to finish, but this moment truly added the touch of magical heaven to the ceremony... got me choked me up... what a way to make a beautiful touching statement on a deeper level. I bet heaven lit up with Princess Diana's smiles... Congratulations both...
RootsDaughter41926 You Got the words.... This was the Outstanding touch... That set this wedding apart... Not the dress... Not the cake.... Just this. ❤❤❤
RootsDaughter41926 ed
RootsDaughter41926 she was very happy
Simply beautiful. No other words to describe it
RootsDaughter41926 okay your comment made me shade a tear
I honestly love how they are constantly holding hands throughout the service. This really shows their love for each other.
It can be seen and felt when you watch how he looks at her.
I keep rewatching that part. How he comforts her knowing her nerves were high at that moment. He's soooo into her and its the cutest thing ever!
Leanne Marshall una gran muestra de amor verdadero, bendiciones a la pareja real.........
It also shows a huge insecurity on his part. All that hand rubbing. That's a self soothing habit.
This took only minutes to be published on You Tube......it's the best version you might ever hear of this classic song !
You are so right.!
You know Ben E. King though?
TheDissmaster10 I think he meant as other renditions go.
Ummm the original version is the best.
H&M are truly standing by each other
I've been watching this periodically since the wedding ... amazing ... so beautifully done ..
Hello how are you doing?
I want them for my wedding(if i will ever get married)😍
Mihaela Jukić I want too
You will
They have a contract with Sony after the wedding :)
You will
Mihaela Jukić
Never say never !
Yesss!! That was awesome! I'm glad Meghan was able to add her stamp on her day!!
She really did
And she did it Lively and classy :)
GoldSag 1 this made me cry!!!! I'm so damn happy for them!!
Teebabyyy Freshhh me too. I'm a hopeless romantic 😍
GoldSag 1 -its truly remarkable that we witnessed history. This is something we will all remember for the rest of our lives. I really hope they go the distance and have kids. She may be an older woman but she can still make babies and live a beautiful life!
4 Year's later
I see they kept they promise...I hope n Pray my baby love will keep Her promise.
They sang the hell out of this song!
I would say the heaven out of this song😊
I think the director was holding back. The royals weren't ready for rhythm and soul the choir could have really unleashed.
@@alextagbo7504 you're right!
I just can't stop watch this
Same here
I love this woman's grey hair
@Kiwi MGTOW it doesn't change nothing
@Kiwi MGTOW - you're calling a curse upon yourself & your fambily for mocking someone's misfortune! you will end up being bald yourself for mocking her! Repent of your foolishness! FURTHER dat "bald lady" she's probably recovering from cancer!
@Truth is here - I love da conductor lady's grey as well... it suits her very well!
I know right! Like is so chic and elegant and the same time I love it!
The way harry look at her is soooo romentic...
Damn that guy can sing for real
Paul Lee.
James Carter wish I could have his voice
James Carter Can't he tho?!Clear as a bell, like old cool use to say. That choir voices sound heavenly and they look Angelic with the lead Angel rite there in front leading choir to perfection. I have never seen nothing like it. Just heavenly! What a Blessing!
This song is simply pure beauty. It fits in very well with the royal wedding.
This was the best choice... ever... Harry is standing by Markle...
Hello how are you doing?
But neither are standing by any of their relatives, or even this country, apart from her mother.
Watch the full wedding video in its entirety. See how she was welcomed and embraced by the Royal Family and the ultimate British people. So many hopes then dashed for this couples' role in the Royal family as she sunk into victimhood because she wouldn't adhere to Royal protocol and then unleashed unwarranted racist vitriol. So sad. So unnecessary.
This song made me cry. That choir and that singer gave me chills.
I can't tell you why I was so teary eyed during the entire ceremony. It was just so moving and beautiful. Harry was emotional during the ceremony. I cannot help but think that he was thinking of his mother and/ or how incredible lucky he is for finding his special person.
dorothy mccaskill I think it was more of his Mum
I get chills everytime I listen to this
Amazing voices✔😍😍😍
The harmony, the diction and the class...breathtaking performance...I get chills every time I listen to this💖
The voice of the man, who is the first to start singing, is so so beautiful. He sings so amazing. His voice touches me so much! I just can say: wow, wow, wow...
Paul Lee great singer in the Seventh Day Adventist Church here in London
Yesssz
And thank you Sir
Just AWESOME
@@yvonneboothe6906 thank you for his name
He touches my heart
WAKANDA FOREVER!
YEEAAAAH!!!
Forbes Media FOREVER 🙅
Lmao
Oh what an irony, black choir singing at the royal weeding of the country that invented institutional slavery and racism, and still supporting the latter. Damn.
C Mistrinho An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind
Beautiful moment loved it perfect, loved the preacher too UK 🇬🇧 USA 🇺🇸
❤LOVE & FIRE🔥
The preacher nailed it and so did this choir.
Apparently Harry is still standing by Meghan. The song was well worth it
this is beautiful. gave me goosebumps! so happy she honored her black heritage and had it there in a royal wedding. The meaning of this is much deeper than people realize
Ana ToFind Very true, I have never seen the Prince this vulnerable in my whole life. She is all he has now, them both against all. Huge step he took, hopefully she truly stands by him. Against all odds, love truly conquers.I don't doubt the Prince loyalty to the end in this marriage with what I see in his eyes.
both these boys got what their parents never did: they married for love. Considering the long history England had of enslaving, robbing, and killing other peoples, Harry marrying a half black woman is a big thing. And considering the trove of veiled and not so veiled racism online, this is even bigger.
Historical moment! A metis royal family member, a black choir and a female chef d'orchestre! Amazing and makes me very happy.
Indeed, unfortunately the big screen that it was supposedly being shown on in my local area was cancelled at the last minute due to lack of security, gutted
I m so sorry. I don't agree with you. Blacks are in the choir. Whites are invited to the wedding.
The best moment in this wedding is this song with this beautiful gospel singer...magic moment!!!! 😍
Fabiana P. true 💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💕💕💕💖💖💖👍👍👍👍
Fabiana P. True
When I heard this during the wedding, I CRIED MY EYES OUT!!!!!! So beyond beautiful & moving
A fabulous song, and what a wonderful sentiment for a wedding.
They deserve a standing ovation 🤗
That’s the way we do it 😍😍😍😍
They're all smiling you can see how blessed they're to have been asked to perform and show their greatness
Laura Nasewytewa 🤣
Jimmy swaggart
Black is truly BEAUTIFUL...WOW
Forever and always!
Lol
Wrinkle free..
Every color is beautiful
Can't stop watching/listening. Chills/tears. The gentleman's voice/solo, the people singing, their clothes, their faces while singing; beautiful, gorgeous. The way they sang Ben E. King's song, soft, strong, heartfelt, soulful, the piano, it was perfect.
Kathy King true what a wedding should be different but accepting and fun
I don't know how they sang that without balling 😭😭😭
Turned it into 100 likes :)
True
The most emotional moment from the wedding,in my opinion, and I m not afro american .. just touched my soul, no matter the colour love is the answer.
M MC I really hope that African Americans get the same dignity the British Royals have given to their beautiful new princes and culture too in Trumps America rightfully ❤✌
The Ancients Ancients
Huh?
The Ancients Ancients Huh?
I was just saying i hope African Americans get the respect they deserve in Trump era America like they were given today by Great Britain royals and people ✌
The Choir was the secret gift that stole the show. They were amazing! The singing was increíble, but also the styling! Man! They all looked elegant yet modern, the colours looked amazing with their skin, the hair, makeup, and accesories. I'm just going to get married so I can play this... Hehehehe
If i were there i would give a standing applause and then get kicked out from the wedding.
Jefta Jonathan Ahaha same here ;D I clapped like a little kid in front the tv, tho :D
I KNOW RIGHT? LMBO U ARE CRAZY! 😂😂😂😂😂 I WOULD HAVE FELL OUT LAUGHING!
Jefta Jonathan
It would have been inappropriate to applaud this or any performance/musical selection at a wedding.
This was not a concert, this was a ceremony that was sacred.
I also enjoyed the cello selection.
Jefta Jonathan I know-me too! That’s why we were not invited...😂😂😂
Jefta Jonathan I know-me too! That’s why we were not invited...😂😂😂
Desirable singing performance to pep up a wedding: Definitely the highlight of this ceremony!
Collin Coel differences enjoyed in wedding where people come together in support and love
The Leader vocalist can sing. Beautiful. We do love the whole wedding show. Congrats from SA
The lady who is leading the choir is the famous UA-cam music coach
Saksham Mansukhani wooooow nooo, is that her? Seriously? I love this woman 😍😍😂😂
Is it Karen Gibson?
@@ancskap yess
Wait. I thought it was Cheryl Porter. Not Karen Gibson
Best part of the entire ceremony!
I've never seen so many beautyful people with such a positive attitude like in this choir. I will press the repeat button again and again and hope my goosebump will never stop....
When the man first began to sing I got chill bumps everywhere! And I loved the fact that this song was done with such grace and not just belted out! Made it even more beautiful!
I really like how the lead singer didn't try to over stylize the song to make his mark on this song. It was beautiful and respectful for the Royal Family.
i8urcookie 33 totally agree!
Rhaspun iyhjvhb mccf
i8urcookie 33 bxmgd b ua
Its the soul, that pain yet positivity inside they have. The are just amazing.
How much did this cost? I want them to sing at my wedding!
Karreil2525 well it’s the royal wedding so .....
Ikr
Didnt cost must they where a small gospel group. Before this there biggest crowd was a few 100 people.
Get the music students,,they are comparatively low cost,,and great and passionate to sing!!:))))
5,50 bolsonaros
I almost cried. This is beautiful.
Given the current situation with Harry and Meghan, this song foreshadowed the Prince's resolve to stand by his wife. This is truly a fairytale and Disney should make it into a movie.
@adiamondsmile you've GOTTA be a troll
adiamondsmile eww you’re gross
I think it's Him
Asking Her to stick with Him
" if the sky we look upon should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea..."
" if I were a carpenter..."
Just my thoughts
if she is Cruella de Vil , maybe.. :D
Very true! This song is even more magical!
How can people be so serious? This was the most gorgeous thing i have ever heard in my entire life. I can't help but smile when i listen to them.
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darling, darling stand by me
Stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Tears on my face :)
black singers are amazing. there's something about them that no one else can replicate. i guess it's just a thing of culture. bravo! 💛🌻💫
i will put this song on my wedding playlist ❤
bunga chintya ME TOO 😊😊😊. There a second one from the same singer: "When a man find a woman" I love it.
Why was this iconic song not already on that list!
Me too.
Cesar Olea im waiting ur purpose
Brian Koech yeay i will be so happy
That was glorious! I am also totally digging that director's beautiful hairdo!
WOW! i can't stop watching this, The Voices! If this could be in every Church, every Sunday, then i would never dare miss the church! I love this, I like this, ooh dear! Brilliant!
siri ya mwanamke mkakamavu I guess you have never been to a African ( Black) church? We have 3 choirs, children , women and men (mixed) and the men choirs. We also have a group that sings before our paster walks in. We hear these kind of songs every Sunday.
+Sherry Jimerson true
Sherry Jimerson am living in Germany its very different. I wish this could be here too :(
siri ya mwanamke mkakamavu same here !!
I go to Free Chapel---and everything is great!!
So I miss very very little
if you came you would undertand why
This is definitely a great song for a wedding. The lyrics are quite appropriate and simply beautiful. The choir did a phenomenal job with this song and I give them high praise for their performance. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
I lost count on how many times I play this video, this choir is just fantastic
Now that's ROYALTY!
Mitchell Norman a prefect choir instrutot
I had goosebumps during the entire song when I first watched it
The song was prophetic Meghan is being attacked left , right and center, Harry is standing by her through thick and thin
True
👌
Where will it all end? I cant help but think I just wished Meghan had just ignored it and play their game. Surely Meghan ust have realised that she is black and would be treated differently. Like so many of us commoners. Just get on with your life and accept it. It's the reality.
I wonder how she would react if she was around when.i was the only black child in an English School like I was and the problems it caused.
I truly do not believe that their troubles are about race. It’s about character. Harry and Meghan have both shown truly selfish characters since their wedding, and attacking Her Majesty the Queen when they KNOW she cannot retaliate is appalling. Families do have problems, but you don’t throw the oldest family members to the wolves especially when they’re in their 90s.
@@christinemillership1189 They are actually really close to the Queen. Harry and Meghan are pretty close to his grandmother believe it or not. Harry has even said that they were in contact over video call pretty regularly. She even got Archie a Christmas present. It’s really the other Royal Family members who are the problem, not the Queen. It’s not fair. It’s not fair because even if the Royal Family did anything wrong, no matter what, Meghan will always get the blame. Like look at Prince Andrew. We have proof that he was talking to underaged girls but yet he doesn’t get anywhere near the magnitude of hate Meghan and Harry get. I bet if he was black, it would be a different story.
i literally cried when i saw harry caressing meghan's hand
oh he sings with such sincerity--beautiful
Without a doubt, my favorite part is when they show Harry and Megan. He’s looking at the love of his life and she looks at them and they exchange smiles. True love right there.
harry and MEGHAN btw.
Yea and it's totally not because they are in front of a crowd and a camera.
Harry and Megan must stand by each other and take care of each other and be happy
Hello how are you doing?
Well done guys..you did Meghan proud
And Meghan has done us proud! :)
martinbelmont . and you have never spread yours....bitterness is a disease... Stop with the nastiness..if you don't like something that's cool..but bitterness will chew your soul..deep breathes.
martinbelmont
Wow, you not wearing that jealousy well. Eat your heart out baby.
She is the true love of Prince Harry`s life..I say she did it..She did it very well..That`s what matters...Love & Happiness to the beautiful couple
martinbelmont just like your mom
Still gives me CHILLS. The soul and raw power the choir radiates, what I’d give to listen to them with those acoustics live.
I still have goosebumps when I heard this song
There's something about these voices. So beautiful... Every time I watch this, it always seems like I'm watching it for the first time
This song was sending some messages to many people.
Teresia Wachira yes it was ,They are going to stand together no matter what comes there way and he said it before
I agree with you, its more than just a song; it is actually a message.
the ladies from the choir are so BEAUTIFUL
Am I the only one who cried watching this? This is the tenth time I watched this. Soooooooo beautiful. Icing on the wedding ceremony.
Syl Rol no i cried too
I don’t blame you it’s so emotional. The power of love.
@@DevinObi excellent so sweet.
When they say “ Please don’t cry!” So sir pls no! Your special ima just cry 😪😪😪😪
Idem
They were singing for so much more than this wedding I felt my people
