How I got over - Montreal Jubilation is better than this one. Listen for yourself.
One of my favorite parts of this movie just because of this song. I still rewind it when i watch this movie.
luvbig41 me too lol
Me too
Yessss... mines too
Got it on rewind right now and have done it three times trying to figure out who this young lady is and this choir is!!
I love black gospel.
Please pray for healing for me
I listened to all different versions of this amazing gospel song and it’s my personal opinion that this version sung for the movie is the best one. And I think it has to do with the BPM. This version has a more upbeat tempo and sounds modern for even today’s times. Not to discount the original version or Aretha’s version but occasionally a new version may sound better than the original. This song makes you want to clap and praise the LORD. And it’s sung by Reverend James Cleveland and the Southern California Community Choir. They sang it without the reverend and upped the tempo to give a more soulful, gospel feel to it. The studio probably didn’t want give the choir any credits as they would have had to pay many more people. And that lead singer’s voice is smooth and powerful. I’m loving it!
Tempo and pitch.
I agree completely!
Thanks for the additional info.
How there isn't a released version of this is baffling!
What's her name?
@@Abull01I searched high and low and couldn’t find any info on the lead singer of the Southern California Community Choir, which was created by Reverend James Cleveland. As this story proves, black exploitation was being perpetrated by prominent blacks on their own people. I do know that Tom Scott, one of the founding members of the Blues Brothers Band, produced the song, which is listed as the title credit song. If you have any inroads to contacting him, I’m sure he’ll have that info. I strongly believe the choir didn’t receive much, if any, compensation to perform that song in the movie m. This choir was one of the most choirs at that time and performed all over the world, including Jerusalem.
She go most of the lyrics WRONG!
Alfredmayes5005 You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! And I feel that it's the best version for the exact same reason... It's all about the BPM's ... also the lady on lead vocals appears to really be enjoying herself singing this song.
Geechie Dan Beauford wasn't no joke, I love this movie!!!
Rodney Norwood Little Seymour was the baddest dude in the movie!
Would you believe that I watched this movie for the song? One of the best versions of it, ever !!!!!
I still LOVE this, It reminds me of my childhood and simpler times. PRAISE GOD!!!
AMEN, and Having old school Church.
HALLELUJAH AMEN
Amen
I was asked to sing unexpectedly @ church yesterday and this song was the ONLY song that came thru my mind b cuz "My soul looks back and wonder how I got over" thank you Jesus 😇👐
Ms LadyLibra83 Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I'm so glad, This movie allowed the whole song to be sung for The movie. It was real and I'm sure if you played this movie in the theatre today, the audience would join in and turn that theatre out. Amen
rogueleader1988 Sho Nuf!!! I wish they would release it again! The theater would be jumping!!!
I think if a DJ played this in a CLUB ( remember those days?😢) it would have ppl dancing.
Yes yes they would
one of the best movies ever made!!
The whole Trilogy can't be beat.
I agree!
Absolutely
Sister Louise was 🔥 that Sunday morning!!
As old as this movie is and I remember seeing it when it first came out, this song still sounds good today. 🤗
I had a Parakeet who started dancing to this while I watching this movie. My mother said he had The Holy Ghost! This is the the best version I have ever heard.
LOL .Thanks parakeet . I like this song too .
@@v.dargain1678 it never gets old.
You should've videotaped it.
*Let everything that have breath praise Yahuah. Praise ye [Elohim] the Lord.*
🎼🎼I wanna wear a diamond gem
In the new Jerusalem
I wanna walk the street of gold
In the homeland of the old
I'm going to view the host in white
Who travel both day and night
Coming up from every nation
On the way to the great carnation
I’m wanna sing hallelujah
Trouble over
My soul look back and wonder how I got over🎼🎼
I love this song. Yes, there is Mahalia’s version and Aretha’s version, but this sista here!!!! Blows me away. I’ve been entranced by her version since the first time I saw this move 40+ years ago.
Now, if only I knew who she is
I wish I knew too. Hands down. 40 years ago for me too. . I loved this song ever since
Who sings this song ?
Yes I love this version!
That lady had me almost shouting amennnnnnnn ❤❤❤ great choir
Diadem
The best version of this song ever....
There is no music like Gospel music. It touches you on the inside!!
My soul looks back and wonders how I got over ❤❤❤AMAZING GRACE
Sing Lucille.. When we were not ashamed of sanctified gospel music
grand slam - who is this singer - I’ve been tryina figure this out for the longest time
They never gave her a credit in the closing credits . Flip wilson simply referred to her as Lucille. It's a shame cause she's pivital in the two gospel songs. I wonder if the choir was the Southern California Community Choir???
I remember seeing the making of Aretha Franklin's documentary with The Rev. James Cleveland (AMAZING GRACE) and this is the Southern California Community Choir. I see all the faces from that choir that was in that making of that movie!! So it's got to be that Choir!!
thank you for your response...@@tainachapman9486
one of the best renditions of this gospel music classics Ever ! this gospel choir is AWESOME
Sidney Poitier & Harry Belafonte, two legendary heavyweights in the same movie together. Powerful.
Christian Edwards and dr cosby
Christian Edwards and Calvin Lockhart
And Bill Cosby awesome
Bill Cosby isn't a heavyweight?
@@231gnx Bill saved Sidney's career..
It's a dayum shame that nobody knows who the lead singer is or the choir and the fact that they did not put this version of "How I Got Over" out as a single is a travesty ! 🤔
This choir is fire. BTW: The late Calvin Lockhart with his fine self. R.I.P. Brutha.
Mariell Clement Wasn't he fine 😚😍
Yes
Mariell Clement yup Calvin was beautiful
Ikr!!!! 😍😍😍
Mariell Clement fine as a .03 mm Pentel ballpoint!
I woke up with this song on my mind. So glad I found this
Ikr just outta the blue it's been in my head for weeks
RIP Calvin Lockhart
UrbaneFarmer that's a gorgeous hunk of chocolate. #HCGI
@@MsVie2012 I second that emotion 😂🤣😂🤣
The most handsome black man in tv and movies. To this day, a Greek and Rome God before he knew it.
When cousin Raymond comes to town he really knows how to get down
Told myself back in the day I was gone marry him!! 😍
🌈🌈😂😂😍😍

My soul looks back and wonders... How do you not identify or give recognition to the lead singer singing a song that is so influential in the movie ? Mind boggling 🤯
This scene in the church was filmed at "Bowen United Methodist Church" in Los Angeles, CA. Great scene from equally great movie "Uptown Saturday Night".
I miss these days my grandmother and all

Thank you Jesus thank you lord...man this song does something to my soul....
aykay harris mine too, from the first time I saw this movie 40 years ago. It still set fire in my soul 🎼How I got Over🎼
Going through a bit of a rough patch right now. I think I’ve listened to this version of this song about 100 times in just the last two days. Cuz “when I get over” it’s gonna be because of the Lord only. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Lord...in advance! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Me too.Makes me appreciate everything

Calvin Lockhart, the dark skin gangster was always one of the finest. Then and now!!!
I been looking for this for years I bust out crying before it played I knew it was this
Love this version!!
Legendary 😮💨🔥
This is classic! Many of these old school cats starred on good times together and Cosby show great collaborations
lord forgive me, but silky slim is the finest black man to ever walk the face of the earth rip
That's the movie and old school gospel love it
When I hit the lottery I'm gonna find this woman and have her sing this while I collect my check!
I didn’t even grow up in church but I loved this song ever since I saw this classic
Does anyone know the name of this choir and their incredible lead singer? The film does not identify them in the credits. IMDB does not give any information either. It is a shame because, they really shine!
Montreal Jubilation Choir How I got over
Loved this movie! Not a fan of gospel music, but I like this song. And Calvin Lockhart...just too FINE.
Donna Shinall Gospel music is the best
This is one of the greatest classic movie I ever saw , even though im 18 & like Blaxploitation movies & classics like this . I love it
Unique Brissett II u do realize the actors and directors hate that word blackexploitation
Anthony Taylor , Thanks didn’t know that, I hate the term also.
This movie really wasn't blaxploitation though.
I've heard so many versions, and I think this is the best one...
This is my jam
This takes me back to the times my grandfather was preaching in those small baptist churches in Mississippi with the Martin Luther King, Jr fans on the old back dirt roads in the early 70s.
Carlos Johnson when I think of Mississippi, all I can think of is Emmett Till and all I can say is fuck Mississippi!!!
Dr.King in the early 70s?
Dr. King’s picture was on church fans in the 70s
Eternal Peace Queen Paula Kelly aka Leggy Peggy 💐💕
This is such a sincerely sung song. Not all posturing and self-aware, the way some individuals sing now. Thank you so very much Alvin N for posting this.
That Church was less the a block from my house growing up.
Sir, what church was this?
The scene was filmed at "Bowen United Methodist Church" in Los Angeles, CA
EDeck Wow, thanks. Incidentally, I grew up UM, and was confirmed in that denomination.
armorborgwarclass
Where did u grow up bro. always wonder where this movie was shot at
armorborgwarclass
Luke 6:38...AMEN✨
*Praising should always be on our minds while in church because he blessed you with another day to be in his house*
Being Blessed by your Family and Friends is one thing while holding on and Battling but for those that go to church being Blessed by your church family while holding in and Battling is another because it doesn't feel good to go to church looking beat while trusting in the Lord getting prayer and things keep getting worst..the congregation talking bout you from time to time then the Lord finally slides in and having you singing about how you got over.. YES it's going to happen for somebody that's holding on now..Keep trusting the Lord💚
I LOVE YOU...✨
Amen
She sounds great, however, no one can sing this song better than the late Mahalia Jackson. My spirit is full today because we're living in some very depressing and difficult times in 2022. I have to think back, How I Got Over? Praise God!!!!!🙏🙏
... when gangsters looked good and dressed nice.
Love this version of How I got Over
This is one of the most important movies in Black film.
One of my favorite movies...
i love this version of this song
I am a child of the '70s, this songs brings a tear to my eye every time
I remember seeing this in the movies. Great memories ❤
Thank you LORD🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The best version of this song and Bellefonte should have got an oscar nod for this performance.
And everybody said, Amen!
My soul looks back and wonder how I got over last week so I can only imagine as soon as I see Jesus the man who ayyyyyeeeee 💃🏾🏃🏽♀️💃🏾🏃🏽♀️💃🏾🏃🏽♀️💃🏾
Amen....OutStanding.
I just watch this on (365) Black History month movie channel. This Song😢😅 brings back when I grew up "going 😭 to church!!!! I love All the Actors and Actresses in this movie. This Gospel Song ❤️ makes my 💜❤️💜 heart, leap for Joy". That women sang that song!!! Didn't she??? Hallelujah 🙏🙏🙏🙏 ""Thank you Lord Jesus Christ"" I Love Harry, Sidney, Bill, Richard... All the actors in this movie.. They look like they had a lot of fun making this movie... 👍 Good job!!!!!
Me & my mom love this song! Its the best version !
By far my favorite Gospel song.She can sing-best version.
Do you know who made this version??
@@lindenbyass6902 OK! Everyone keeps saying this is the best version but it's no comparison to the original production of this version. You better sew your ears back on and go listen to the first!
@@BaKheru Still looking for the name of the artist
this is what the youth are missing today religion and family.
Donald Hawkes and REAL gangsters
Let's bring it back.
My Favorite Version Of This Song, By Far!
Sister Louise!!! "You are in rare form tonight!!!!"
Leo Hawkins You remember the line well, AND it points out a flaw in the movie! How can it be "tonight" if they're leaving immediately after church for an afternoon church picnic? My guess is they shot the interior church scenes at night and forgot to edit Flip Wilson's line. Either way, sister Louise WAS a great singer of a good Christian song!
snowrocket. You are very perceptive. I hadn't realized the connection with Flip Wilson's night comment with the impending church picnic.
Leo Hawkins I honestly missed it myself until I'd seen it several times. Also, look at the rest of the scene. The gangsters arrive (in daylight) behind the church bus (which is for the picnic). When some of them leave them before the song is done, they drive away in daylight. The filmmaker's "continuity" person is supposed to catch this stuff, but invariably several things in EVERY movie get missed. IMDB.com is great for trivia and goofs like this.
I always thought that was a young Mikki Howard sing that song...
Yeah, he almost went out and got him a bottle...lol
This was a great movie. This sister can sing
That sister break that song down thank you Jesus. and the choir.
How I got over…only thru God…can I get an Amen🙏
Still rockin in 2023 😊
I LOVE THIS GOSPEL SONG THANKS TO THIS MOVIE. THANKS BILL COSBY. LOVE THE MOVIE TOO.
She "SANG" this song!!!
The imaging of the scene enhances the song but not only is this the best version it was probably one the first gospel songs to start it's popular rise we still see today.
Back in 2019 ..watched this movie in the 70's..
I have mad respect for gospel music, but this is gospel-funk! And that is a good thing!
Great Actor, ACTRESSES, THE BEST, LEGENDS MISS THOSE TIMES
I'm walk me some Street of gold
LOL! IKR?!! She MEANT that thang'....
Crystal Hogan 🎼 I wanna wear a diamond gem
In the new Jerusalem
I wanna walk the street of gold
In the homeland of the old
I'm going to view the host in white
Who travel both day and night
Coming up from every nation
On the way to the great carnation
I’m wanna sing hallelujah
Trouble over
My soul look back and wonder how I got over🎼
Guess who was playing the guitar at the church picnic? #rayparkerjr
Mr Big Money that's right
Mr Big Money Ray Parker Jr
Mr Big Money Raydio
Mr Big Money Thanks. I missed that part.
Yup with his fine self😍😍😍😍
I grew up to all of their movies...uptown Saturday night, Let's do it again....love this scene as a kid....I also love that J Dilla..has brought this nostalgic masterpiece to everyone's attention...
This has always been on every playlist I have made...starting with a cassette and now on my iPhone. This song touches this white soul to the very, very core.
Do you know who made this version??
I love this movie but really love this part. Thanks for posting.
