wait a minute.. wait a minute.. wait a minute.. I WAS JUST TYPING THE SAME THING.. hahhahaha. but I jus happend to look down and see your message. HAHAHAHA. I was ending mine with that guy's voice had to have been anointed.
I wonder if they knew that their music will resonate years later and touch the hearts of everyone, im all the way from a small town in South Africa, even today 2024 their music still makes me cry
I wish our music today was as uplifting as Gospel has always been. Not a religious man, but the joy, optimism and humility of this vintage music, reminds us to love humanity and be proud. To embrace goodness and shoot-down corruption. We need it~!
Sunday mornings in the 50s and early 60s was the most entertaining television of the entire week. It was nearly as entertaining as the live performances I attended with my siblings to watch our mom play and sing. We got to see some other 'marginal' performers do there things, too. Groups like the 'Soul Stirrers, featuring Sam Cooke', Roebuck Staples and the Staples Singers, Dionne Warwick and her cousin, Cissy Houston, and this group occasionally appeared on the Sunday stage at Laurel Gardens in Newark, NJ, the most musically abundant city in America at that time. And if an act came to church to sing and wanted a pianist/organist, they asked for one by name: Anna Mae Lundy-Lewis, my mom.
Joe Ligon is the most recognizable voice in gospel music history! There were a lot of great lead singers, but they are all gone. But Joe has remained ALL THESE YEARS! Claude Jeter, June Cheeks, Sam Cooke, Charles Johnson etc. None of those guys are here(Charles Johnson still is but not singing anymore). Joe is nearing 80 and is STILL strong! He is the GREATEST lead of ALL TIME!
my nanny used to sing me gospel when I was little (early 60s). This version sounds just like the way she sang it. thank you so much for posting, this wonderful music should not be lost!
My grandma's name is Jessie Mae (so was her mom, grandma was named after her mom). I think it was very common to have MAE and ANN as middle names back in the day. At church we sung this song but at a much slower tempo. I love the lyrics. It is a real treat to hear the song performed this way by the Mighty Clouds of Joy. Very exciting!
Oh yes, The Mighty Clouds of Joy are still singing. Joe (the lead singer) is the only remaining original member. Richard Wallace left the group a couple of years ago but, is still alive. The rest have passed away.
Rikita Brown been listening to them since I didn't even know what they were saying lol, but my dad liked them so I liked them but I grew to love them and have all of their albums😎
THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING!!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!! i had never seen this. but this was so funny. this fellow joe ligon has been the same for 50 years i see.thank you so much for posting this.
There is a video of the entire show made in a studio in Baltimore. It is extremely entertaining with the Clouds performing a couple more songs. With, "Sista Jessie Mae Renfro" doing her complete number. It was a weekly Gospel program shown on Baltimore TV. What a treasure. I had it on my profile but they took it down.
PRAYING Jesus Christ, Jesus show yourself mighty to your people, Lord there seems to be no way out, no way to fix things, no ways of solution, but Jesus you are the solution, you are the truth, you are the love and forgiveness, you are the author and finisher of all great things. Jesus if you can raise a nation up and take it down in a day, then Jesus can you not heal our nation and our people.Yes you can,we praise the name of Jesus. Jesus, quickly reveal yourself to us, that is best for each one of us, touch us the only place that you know and can touch, Jesus can you not minister individually to each person, the only way that they can be ministered to,. Jesus are you not greater than any and all calamity and evil, Jesus where a man sees no way out, your spirit testifies that you Jesus, you are the only way out. Jesus you are the author and finisher of all things, great and small. Jesus help us receive your perfect and perfecting love and forgiveness of the cross. Jesus you told me that if we could fully receive and understand the love and forgiveness of the cross, we would be transformed as a new spirit, a useful witness for Christ Jesus. Jesus we pray that you answer this prayer, that we receive THE FULL PORTION,of your perfect love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.Jesus we praise your perfect love and forgiveness. Jesus we pray for personal and professional revival Lord Jesus not only does it have to happen in our heart, it has to happen in our family and in our workplace,,, Lord bring us to where your people are, there's no greater ministry then in our own families in our own workplace, Jesus show us the way to your fullness. Jesus you said, to pray for the greatest gift to prophesy to strengthen, encourage and comfort our people, to help raise them up. Jesus we repent of godless chatter, a lack of faith. Jesus we need the faith the size of a mustard seed to plant our faith at the altar,Jesus you will grow our faith. Jesus help us be the great communicators of your love and forgiveness, your faithfulness. Jesus Christ we pray that you come quickly, we need you and praise your mighty name, Jesus our Lord and Savior. Jesus come quickly, Jesus we cry out for repentant heart and spirit, seeking the perfect love and forgiveness, found only in Christ Jesus. Jesus is not the simple gospel, can be as simple as, the perfect and perfecting love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ. Jesus is this not available to all people saved and unsaved. Jesus we pray for this great awakening, correction, direction pointing to Christ Jesus, as Lord and Savior. The name of Jesus is above all names, the name of Jesus identifies the God we serve, the God that can save, forgive us of our sins, and love us into eternity now and forever. Jesus cannot the zeal of the Lord accomplish this great revival, harvest this great harvest and free our people, from captivity of the world and the evil one. Jesus not all is lost, but always gained, we hear that this is the greatest time and harvest, that the world will ever see. Jesus, Jesus, quickly come. Jesus we are standing in victory and not in defeat, because the victory was won on the cross let us praise your great name the name above all names, Christ Jesus our Savior and Lord, amen and amen. I AMen
Sweet Christmas! I come and listen to Joe as Steals Away and also Big Henry Johnson with the Blind Boys and finish it with Clarence Fountain. All music from this era...💪
you know I just read that joe use to be shy. of course I didn't believe a word of it. but look at his eyes after he finishes singing.. LOL like he's scared. I wonder does he remember what he was thinking at the time when he watches this.lol. Joe you were a bad man back then just as you still are. you still aint missing a step. keep on singing brother.....from ur #1 fan
No, Richard left the group a few years ago to pursue something (not sure). I'm positive because Ron Staples is one of my Facebook friends and he posted that Tim Woodson had replaced him.
JESUS CHRIST CALLED ME ON MANE LINE PHONE AND SAID THAT HE IS COMING BACK HE LOVE YOU ME TO NEEDTO BE READY HE REPENT FOR THE LORD JESUS CHRIST THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORD'S COMING TO SAVE US ALL FROM THIS EVIL WORLD CALL ON JESUS CHRIST HE WILL SAVE YOU JESUS LOVES US ME TO LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AT THE MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB'S OCUPIE TILL THE RAPTURE AND NERVER GIVE UP

Rip Joe Ligon 🌹😇🌹 that spin was everything! You were indeed legendary sir!
Hello,how are you doing today?
Amazing how consistent Joe Ligon's voice has remained from this video to the present time. One of the greatest powerhouse lead vocalists of all time.
wait a minute.. wait a minute.. wait a minute.. I WAS JUST TYPING THE SAME THING.. hahhahaha. but I jus happend to look down and see your message. HAHAHAHA. I was ending mine with that guy's voice had to have been anointed.
I wonder if they knew that their music will resonate years later and touch the hearts of everyone, im all the way from a small town in South Africa, even today 2024 their music still makes me cry
Omg the slide was so clean! GOOSEBUMPS.... RIP MR. JOE LIGON
NUN BUT THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL SEE GOD JESUS NAME AMEN
Gospel Music today as taken the wrong turn. We need to get back to the old time religion and the music that will save the soul.
I wish our music today was as uplifting as Gospel has always been. Not a religious man, but the joy, optimism and humility of this vintage music, reminds us to love humanity and be proud. To embrace goodness and shoot-down corruption. We need it~!
Amen.....Shalom!

These brothas had some serious steps to go with those vocals!! And Jessie Mae's vocals were super ethereal!!
you know this guy was truly anointed. Even in his last years he could still sing those octaves "almost" just like he did in this video.
Wow just wow
