My daddy is the one leading "Go Tell It on the Mountain". This is my first time seeing this and it brought tears to my eyes to see my family so young and just starting out. I remember all of the stories my mom and dad tell me when they were traveling with first "The Hebrew Boys" and then "The Hawkins singers". I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!!!!!
I have been watching this for hours and hours. They WREAK of class! No gimmicks. No light shows. No smoke machine. Just TALENT. Connecting with the audience. We have a lot of "gospel" singers that can't connect with audiences and do not care about ministering to people. I'd take this any day.
Condolences to the Hawkins family from mine, the Church Families of the earth....As a young child, " Oh Happy Day " had a profound effect on me. I carry that song in my heart Always, I believe that Edwin will be commissioned to have that song playing at the pearly gates for all of Jesus children when it's time to come home......Rest in peace, let your sleep be sweet until that day of rapture......Good Night.
The greatness of the Edwin Hawkins Singers is that they broke the 'glass ceiling' cultivating millions of fans the world over religious and secular. To this day, as then, their fans remain predominately secular.Ut regnabit in saecula saeculorum!
This just came into my feed this Saturday night and what an Spiritually awesome concert to spending this July saturday night , Praising God in preperation for 5th Sunday union on tomorrow🎹🎵🎶
Priceless 💫💫 Rest in Peace Mr.Edwin Hawkins, Bishop Walter Hawkins, 😔😔 Thank you to all the Groups/Choirs Vocalists who performed with them throughout the years.... Thank you for your extraordinary contribution/ your unforgettable mark, that you all made on Gospel Music.... Their Music, Original Gospel Classics will ....go down in History, NEVER....To Be Forgotten 😔😔 Thank you🙏🏾🙏🏾 4/3/2020
TOTALLY PRICELESS! Thank you SO much for posting this clip...at the time this was considered "Contemporary" Gospel Music of which Dr. Edwin Hawkins was notorious for so expertly arranging and writing with the Flavors of Music that influenced him. The Mix of Gospel, Jazz, Blues, Pop, and much more is WONDERFUL! ♫♪♫♪ Blessings ♥
Thank you so much for putting the whole concert without interruption on here, I know you all put this up sometime last year in pieces, but to see it like this is awesome...Post more from the Edwin Hawkins Singers Soon!!!!!
Thank you 😊. Walter Hawkins an family. I was raised on this kind of gospel 🙏 my favorite was come an go with to my father. We used to sing that song 🎵 every day from school . We get on a school bus an sing this song on the way to ⛪ church every day with my aunt an my grandmother bless 🙏 her soul
Enjoyable concert. I can see how Walter had so much hair for the cover of his Love Alive 1 & 2 albums...it had been growing since 1971! Drummer was definitely not Joel Smith. Bongo player played his little heart out, but accompanied music rather well.
Andrea...that duet consist of none other than the Infamous Tramaine and Walter Hawkins! OMG! Can you even do the math and let your mind wrap around how many years they have been singing the Lord's Praises! !
Thank you so very much for sharing this video with us! The Singing and Spiritual Uplifting effect that this song and performance has for me is second to none, however, I would be amiss if I didn't point out that the "Original" Immortal lead singer on "Oh Happy Day" was none other than Platinum vocals of Ms. Dorothy Morrison.
Lookind desperate for the nr Praise the Lord ( for the food we had today,Praise the Lord for the Love that came our way) it was on a album i had in the 80s .Please Help Me Find It 🙌
Haha I said the samething.. I was like c'mon lol... That shows how professional they are as singers and musicians to stay on beat when everyone else is off. Surprise he didn't pull a Mahalia Jackson and tell them to clap right haha..
Hello Jazzsingers, can you let me know where this footage is from? We are hoping to license the footage for a documentary film about Edwin Hawkins. Please respond when you can, it would be a huge help.
Last I heard, Sister Elaine Kelly was doing fine and works in outreach at the church she attends... She also attended Edwin Hawkin`s funeral service when he passed away a few years ago.
Confederate graves must be transfered to Arlington lee property because Lee was a a man of duties, family and principles for the american people who suffered too much. Errors of the past must not come back because freedom is the free circulation of advices between the american people to make him strong for this wild land but domisticated by the american people with sacrifice thoughout the world. Love

Look at Tramaine when she was so young. She literally does not age. She's still stunningly gorgeous today.
All so young! Bishop is 22 here! Edwin 28 and Tremaine just 20! They literally did music ministry all their lives!
