CLASSIC tune for me.

I think I first heard this over a decade ago– my high school choir was singing it and some soloist was screeching and laboring to hit notes that Lecresia Campbell sings with minimal effort.  I wasn’t impressed.

By the time I heard the actual version of the song, though, I fell in love with it (and detested the soloist who dared to try it at my school “all the more”).

Nobody can sing like Lecresia.  And there are few choirs as good as the Wilmington Chester Mass Choir.  Here’s “The Change Will Come”:

And shout-out to matthew5and9, who posted the video on YouTube.  You’ve got some GOOD music, doc!

Now THAT is somethin’ I may hafta make my way to!

Hmmm… who to call… *gettin’ my dialing finger ready*

I think Lecresia Campbell doesn’t receive the credit she’s due.  And I’m not just saying that because, when I was a member of Walt Whitman & The Soul Children of Chicago, she performed with us, like… weekly.  Admittedly, I’m biased.  But she’s also an incredible vocalist.

Wasn’t quite sure which video I’d post, but when I stumbled on this CLASSIC performance of hers… It’s a clip of the Soul Children of Chicago in an oooooold TV special (and it’s what made me audition in the first place).  Here she is, singing “Perfect Praise” (typically just called “How Excellent”):
