jarvisbrodiea1- As much as I wondered who Lillian Lilly or Venora Brown look like whenever I hear them sing, I've always wondered what the female vocalist seen here would look like. And Finally, I do. She has a beautiful voice.

****
amez4life- Yes, she certainly does. And in case you're wondering, her name is Barbara Harper.

****
jarvisbrodiea1- That's who that is? That's wonderful

MoBetta11-This is my mother's 1st cousin. My grandmother(Dorothy Walker-Towner) and her mother(my Aunt Ruby Harper) are blood sisters...i havent seen this in so long! I was 8 yrs old when this came out(1989 i think). Wow! thanx 4 the post!

****
jarvisbrodiea1- So, is Barbara Harper still with the MMC or is she deceased?

****
amez4life-No, she's no longer part of the MMC. I don't know if she's living or not.

KMarlon78 - I love the MMC and this was one of my favorite songs. Barbara can sing, I mean really sing with minimal effort. She barely has to open her mouth, yet that big power sound comes out, I love it. For the people who asked if she was deceased... that was rude, the way you worded it was all wrong.

azizip17-@tangadsangig as an African American let me say that not every Black person can sing and some people of other races/ethnicities also have "good sets of vocal chords". The soloist in this video not only can sing, she can SANG ("sang"-African American vernacular English for "sing really good".)

JanTaylorEllis- What a treasure it is to go back now after all these years and view the Mississippi Mass Choir of days gone by! I am truly blessed to be an original member of MMC. Thank youal for being our fans!~Jan Taylor Ellis
