vsumass- Was that Shirley @ 2:18...

****
magnificat75- ummm, nope that wasnt Shirley Caesar. This was the Push Expo concert for 1972. James was the special guest and the Push Expo choir was made up in part by a lot of members from Fellowship Baptist Church (hence, Loretta Oliver is singing in the choir and Roy Mickey Warren is on the organ).

****
magnificat75 - This was part of the Save the Children album that was put out by Motown in 1973. This song was cut and the only portion on the album is James Cleveland talking to Marvin Yancey on the piano and Mickey on the organ and them playing the shouting music.

****
mrduragss - Albertina walkers part is always to short

0100920- you are so rite

****
jholyghosthead - oh boy!! that was a good one!! and did you see loretta oliver with a bush! lol thats alright!! i wish you could have showed more!! thats what i loved about James cleveland, he was gonna take time and have church!!

[Editor: "Bush" was late 1960s/1970s slang for a wide afro hair style ('fro)]

****
shodeee - Awesome video, old school, das wut I'm talkin bout!!

****
kjames32209- Albertina worked that song in less than 3 minutes! LOL!! She came for business then she exited the stage. She dont play!!!

****
tikkunsoulam- You can say what you want about who the King and Queen of Gospel are....but When Loretta took the mike, the spirit went up in the place. Good God almighty. If it took Albertina 3 minutes, it took Loretta 30 seconds. At least thats what I see on the video. I would like to see more post of her. All of her singing on Youtube is old footage.

****
xavierdh2000-This can get you saved faster then todays gospel singers.
