If you know me, you probably know that this is my favorite gospel song ever, in the history of any and every gospel song ever written or recorded.  This is it.  It’s “Thank You,” by Walter Hawkins, featuring Yvette Flunder on lead.

Part 1:

Part 2:

Walter Hawkins’ “Thank You” is my favorite gospel song ever, and I think I’ve made that abundantly clear by now.

Several artists have re-made it, either on albums or at midnight musicals and what not, but there is nothing like the original recording, led by Yvette Flunder.  NOTHING like it.

These clips are split in two parts– featuring Yvette on lead, followed by a reprise with Walter Hawkins, then the late James Moore, then Tramaine Hawkins, followed by the late Frank Williams, and finally, the late Thomas Whitfield. MAAAN! We’re not DOING gospel like this anymore!
