My father who has pass on introduced me to this version of Hallelujah in his car that had an excellent sound system and I loved it it so much. Now that he is good every time I hear it I think of him and the good he did with his life. despite his challenges. I am glad we made up and forgave each other. before he passed away. Forgive somebody and set your soul free.
I played it on volume 10...in my convertible with the top down...driving slow down Michigan Ave Downtown Chicago in 1993-ish. Got a alot of head nods and thumbs ups. #WhiteGuysMatter
I grew up trimming the tree with my late father. I searched it out today because I was missing him much this year and this song made smile. .....Until we meet again in heaven.
Happy 90th Birthday 2023 the GIFTED GREAT QUINCY JONES... I celebrate with joy and gratefulness your God given talent and grace upon soooo many of us. You bestow the love of our Father on me. Thank you Jesus. Keep Quincy in Your blessed embrace O Krishna, and all his musical accomplices! Y'all have lifted my heart. 🌿🌹🌿💃🏼🤸🏾♀️💃🏼🌿🌹🌿🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺
For those few who dont know who the late Daryl Coley was check out "He's preparing me" or " When sunday comes" and just let him minister to your spirit for a few minutes.
My husband gave this CD as Christmas gift many years ago and I play it every Christmas and even though my husband is not here to celebrate the holiday with me but I know he is watching over me. Awesome song. Truly lifts your spirit up. 🕊😇❤
He Shall Reign Forever and Ever......Psalm 145: 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations. [The Lord is faithful in all his words and kind in all his works.]
I really believe Handel would have deeply appreciated this! This is just as moving as the original and you feel the spirit so much.. love and light to all.. God loves you all and so do I
High school was only a few years ago but my music teacher did his thing when he said we could sing this. He told all of us black students this is your moment.lol
From the beginning of Fall until Christmas I sing this in my head and play it quietly at work. Then on Christmas Eve I get to sing or play it the original Messiah.
I really really really really really really really really really really really really love this version of the Hallelujah Chorus... Beautiful and I woke today with a desire for this one.
RIP Quincy! It's only been a month and I have to keep the sadness away by celebrating the great body of work you left us. What a treasure we have that we can listen to ALL of your music here on UA-cam. So I say Thank You, Lord for Quincy's life, talent and genius.
@@teganbigone2366 couldn't agree more. Different version? Absolutely! Best version? NOT A CHANCE!!! Do you know the history? This song was part of a much larger sacred work called The Messiah. It was meant to show honor and respect to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It was not meant to sound like Soul Train or American Bandstand. Can you see George Handel, the author of this work dance in front of King George for whom this work premiered? I bet he would have been hung for heresy.
Tegan Bigone I know the history of this song. The king was deaf and that’s why he stood to try to listen to this song better. And as for soul train, I heard this song on a Christian radio station 🤦🏽♀️💀.
My ALLTIME FAVORITE album of all time. Words cannot express the tremendous joy in my heart as I hear this album. Mervyn was masterful in these interpretations! The BEST Handels Messiah ever arranged.
How wonderful, beyond words, to hear that the humble servant Jesus, who gave Himself for us, who came not to be served but to serve, will reign forever and ever as the King of kings and the Lord of lords!!!! And declared with such jubilance and authority as this! I weep every time I listen to this. SO GOOD. Thank you Father in heaven for this great great gift!!!!
The ABSOLUTE! BEST!!!!!!! and MOST EXCELLENTLY!!!!!! produced/arranged SOULFUL, JOYFUL!!!!! SOUL/JAZZ/R&B/POP GOSPEL ALBUM!!!!!! in the History of Music, in my humble opinion as a musical artist, musician, songwriter, composer and arranger. Shelia Mariah Bolar
My ALLTIME FAVORITE album of all time. Words cannot express the tremendous joy in my heart as I hear this album. Mervyn was masterful in these interpretations! The BEST Handels Messiah ever arranged.
This is so GREAT- I Can't stop rewinding it. I LOVE IT- in my prayer time- when entering in God's presence. With this song playing, I PRAISE GOD WITH ALL MY MIGHT AS THE PSALMIST DAVID did. God bless you for releasing such a great praise and worship song.
This jam goes to JP and the whole entire LU for always sanging and playing of the best jams ever on the radio and beyond! Oh yeah I had to spin this on my shows, rather it was Christmas time or just the rest of the year! Peace!
HALLELUJAH CHORUS!!! Please (STAND) ROCK & ROLL WITH IT for the Highest Praise, just a reminder, then sings my soul, How Great Thou Art, in all Aspects ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello all, Merry Christmas 2019. We are going out praising God for his marvelous work unto the sons of men! Thank you for helping me remember his glory!
Incredibly honest here, right at 0:43 and that bam! hits, an announcement pops up on screen in my classroom saying classes are canceled at noon or later. 1,000,000 to 1 chance of flawless timing.
YES PRAISE GOD!!! . THE LORD BLESSED ME TO WORK OUT THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENTAL ARRANGEMENT FROM BEGINNING TO THE END. WE WILL MINISTER THIS VERSION 3 x's THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON.
YEAH!!!! I just found it and bought it for .99$ on ITunes!!! Praise God after looking and looking!! Thank you Jesus. I found it under.... Handel's Messiah and scrolled down and saw the album cover. Hope this helps someone. Grace and Peace
I absolutely love this song, It's a good song to start your day then pray and be a blessing to others so that someone will get saved and filled w/ the Holy Ghost, let the church say AAAAmen!!!!
Heard this for first time other day on The Wave CHRISTIAN Station in Denver. GOSH, the energy, harmony, passion for THE SAVIOR in the Gospel music arena is second to none. Where do I find more of this Gospel Energy?
I was feeling depressed and I logged on to hear this song. My mother died suddenly Christmas Eve 2013 the day before her birthday, Christmas Day. Sometimes I think God doesn't exist because he never seem to answer my prayers. I've even prayed that an Angel would appear to me because I feel so alone. I no I'm not alone.
Dear one claim the promises of God in Revelation 21:4! Please know that our pain that we suffer is only temporary, 1 Corinthians 15:51, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, God Bless!
I finally landed a job today after trying for six months! THIS IS MY FRIDAY JAM!!! Thank you for this track!
4:47-5:55 congrats!!
That's nice :)
I heard this on KPFT Houston in the 90s and ran to the CD store to buy it. Now I can listen to it anywhere! I love this version! Thank you!

@@TruthAndGrace123❤What a beautiful tribute! I enjoyed this version. Thanks for sharing.
Totally can relate such a good feeling..
@@nancyshell2855 It does sound great in the car!
I listen to this album every Shabbat. Handel is tapping his foot. It's been 30 years. Thank you.

I found it last week in the $5 bin at Wal-Mart. Awesome find!
For those few who dont know who the late Daryl Coley was check out "He's preparing me" or " When sunday comes" and just let him minister to your spirit for a few minutes.
The late Daryl Coley, leading towards the end of the song is classic! No one else could have done that part!
My husband gave this CD as Christmas gift many years ago and I play it every Christmas and even though my husband is not here to celebrate the holiday with me but I know he is watching over me. Awesome song. Truly lifts your spirit up. 🕊😇❤
this song brings back so many GOOD memories from my childhood. A blast from the past!!
I sing this the first Sunday in Dec at Tinley Temple for 5years
Loved this in 1992 and love it still - wonderful wonderful version. A true celebration.
This is how it was meant to be sung. No doubt this will be the choir singing closest to his throne. Amazing!
He Shall Reign Forever and Ever......Psalm 145: 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures throughout all generations.
[The Lord is faithful in all his words and kind in all his works.]
Isn't this a great way to praise our Wonderful LORD and Savior!!!!!!
And.. He..shall.. Reign.. forever!!!! Yes.. Yeshua will!!
This is the welcome song when someone enters Heaven 😍
Never gets old. Sing choir! Sing, Darryl!
I love this song, it' my start the day song.We should be giving God all the praise. Amen because he shall reign forever!!!
The ABSOLUTE BEST arrangement AND production of The Hallelujah Chorus!
I love this song, it is one of my favorite. Why??? Because God has used it to light some of my darkest hours.
One of my favorite songs..
I really believe Handel would have deeply appreciated this! This is just as moving as the original and you feel the spirit so much.. love and light to all.. God loves you all and so do I
High school was only a few years ago but my music teacher did his thing when he said we could sing this. He told all of us black students this is your moment.lol
I just love my culture ✊🏾
You can feel the Holy Spirit in this song
Yes!
From the beginning of Fall until Christmas I sing this in my head and play it quietly at work. Then on Christmas Eve I get to sing or play it the original Messiah.

My mom had this tape 😆 I love this song
May you now all be healed in the name of Jesus.

I really really really really really really really really really really really really love this version of the Hallelujah Chorus... Beautiful and I woke today with a desire for this one.
I think you forgot the word “like” or “love” in your comment, lol. But I agree! I’m listening to it early in the morning; it’s a wonderful song.
Hahaha thanks for seeing that. I've edited my comment. @@raymond4218
We sang this in my gospel choir at NC A&T!!
QUINCY IS PURE GENIUS.....
