Even as a child I used to love to hear these guys. When I grew in the Lord I realized I was chasing the anointing. We have a lot of great singers, but you can tell those who spend time in prayer. ❤️
Love this sweet and beautiful song and version. So well done. So much heart, soul and talent. We thank Thee, O' Lord for Thy grace and mercy. In the name and Power of our Lord, Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen. 🙏❤
The “Kingsmen” sing in perfect harmony from the very depths of their souls. I was blessed to see them in person in Louisiana after my blessed father passed way in 1988. There was such an anointing in the building. I felt like “I Had Just Stopped By On My Way Home!”
I don't think there has ever been a group that had such a good time and enjoyed singing these wonderful Gospel songs more than The Kingsmen. I miss Big Jim, Anthony and the others that performed with them back in the day.
They've had some of the craziest stories to tell, too! 1:When Ernie Philips left the Kingsmen Quartet back in Late 1983, Jim Hamill was doing something somewhere, when this funny-looking young man, with kinda long hair, came up to him, and told him that he could sing Tenor. Jim took one look at him, and apparently didn't really like him at first glance...but they got to talkin', and Jim and Eldridge Fox gave that guy a chance. They told him that he'd have to get a haircut, and that he'd have to dress up, and learn their material...and the next thing you know, he was in! That was, of course, Garry Sheppard. There was another story, about how there was this small Plane that Jim and Ernie and some of the others had to use... They took off, and, down at the end of the Runway, they barely cleared the Treeline! Come to find out, they had a lot of weight onboard the Plane... and it was almost too much, what with Records and Tapes that they had to carry with 'em. In the meantime, Jim just barely got his door closed on that Plane. He had to sit up front. When they went to get out of the Plane, Jim just barely touched the unlocking apparatus on that door...and it popped open! It had barely been shut the entire trip...and, had Jim done anything to jar that door up in the air, that door woulda popped open, right then and there, and Jim Hamill woulda fell out of that Plane, and would've fallen to his death! There's a lot more I could tell, but I'll save it for later. Have a great day!
This is probably the best performance by Garry in his career! This song , with its tempo, suits his high pitched voice. I really enjoyed Big Jim’s testimony too. I believed he was indeed a saved man. Love to hear people tell their experience of grace.
Anthony Burger was his name... the greatest gospel pianist probably of ALL time! He passed away suddenly playing for God on one of the Gaither cruises. 😢 But he’s most likely playing for the angels on that golden piano. 😇
@@marvaeblanscett9492 Anthony was very fine. We were privileged to hear him live one time. There are others of his caliber that have also accompanied Gaither videos. Anthony was the accompanist for a lot of the early years; then Gordon Mote and now Matthew Holt. All three very fine players in their own rights. Also, Kim Collingsworth with The Collingsworth Family is quite gifted too.
@@marvaeblanscett9492 my dad was a huge Anthony burger fan. I’m a piano player myself but veered miles away from anything resembling Christian music eons ago. But Anthony burger was a bad bad man on those keys. :)
One of the absolute best group of singers ever! Individually they would be great, together they are simply extraordinary! Great song delivered perfectly! This particular group of men were definitely anointed and it shines through! Praise GOD!
Ray Dean Reece-Sings Bass is the only one still singing with this group. He will be 85 May 16. 2024. He has some problems getting around but still goes to the office every day and still sings at some favorite programs. God Bless him and all the other Kingsmen!
I wrote I Just Stopped By in March of 1991. I had been in Chicago and passed through St Louis on my way home to Northern New Mexico. I stopped in to visit with my foster brother Mark Catanzero when his second son Monte was a baby. I had also been diagnosed with lymphoma for the second time and was thinking a lot about heaven. God eventually healed my lymphoma two years later. Praise His Name!
We used to go to concerts a man from Muncie Indiana held large gospel concerts on Saturday nights,My brother had played in a group with bass player Tim Surrett his group came to our home on a Saturday nite great times indeed that wud been 1983. The bass player Tim later married Sonya Issacs of The Issacs...
I've been listening to this group along with all the true hearted full of love and voices that testify through southern gospel for 41 yrs...I miss 4 part harmony syncopation and the joy and peace 41 yrs of old skool southern gospel..wooooo...
We enjoy this great singing and music, but someday when what they are singing about becomes a reality for us, we will excel in the Spirit of the Lord. Praise Jesus
Best song sung by these Christian brave warriors of our Lord Jesus Christ. They sang so well and too used their talent and its perfectly done. Song is a handsome fine and a warmly done.❤Amen. May the God almighty be with you all take care after you all as long as you have a life to lived on earth. ❤Amen. Praise the Lord God almighty and Jesus Christ our holy king and our savior yeshua the beloveded son of God almighty Jehovah. ❤Amen ❤❤. Amen.
I think every group that leaves home , hearth , and family to fulfill the Great Commission is God's favorite. Looks like a lot of fun, and it is, but when you see the world hru God's eyes, it leaves you with a heavy burden to see everyone saved. Those of us who have done our preaching from a song book, as our Bible, will never know what the impact has been on the Eternal souls until we get home. God Bless those that challange us to work, for the night is coming, when no man. can work.
Anthony Burger always played with flare and excitement, especially when he was with The Kingsmen. He was definitely one of the very best piano players out there, and his best years were with The Kingsmen.
I remember the days when I'd listen to their albums and tapes for hours. I had (still have) one tape I made of Chattanooga Live and Live Naturally and figured I'd played it over 1000 times. Got me through some rough spots. The days of the 70's, 80's, and 90's where fabulous. I asked Squire Parsons one day in Ottumwa, Iowa about his days with the Kingsmen and he got choked up and his eyes were watery. All he could say was "Those were glorious days".
Keith Owen I tell ya what-with songs such as Travelling Home, The old ship of Zion, The lovely name of Jesus, When they call my name, Standing on the solid rock, We do not die, & the medley at the last of the record, I, like you, have been blessed many times over! To use an old expression "If that don't light yer fire, yer wood's wet!!!
I always said I hated southern gospel music because I had an idea of what I THOUGHT was southern gospel. I didn't want my dad to listen to that "garbage," but he could listen to the Kingsmen or the Cathedrals. To me, they weren't southern gospel. Why? I don't know. I was a Kingsmen girl and I collected their cassettes. I loved Arthur Rice. I had the pleasure of meeting the group when I as 10. They are outstanding men. I still listen to their music and, to me, there isn't any group that is any better. They lived what they sung.
Mark Catanzero and I co-wrote I Just Stopped By On My Way Home on Memorial Day of 1990. I had gone to Illinois and was headed home to New Mexico. I stopped in to see Mark as I passed through St Louis.
Was at this concert and was the first time I saw the Kingsmen. I was seven years old. Was in awe and have been ever since. They are the best quartet still singing.
Jim Hammil may be one of the most underrated SINGERS in gospel music history. Obviously he's a hall of famer and icon but a lot of that is due to his personality and his humble willingness to let others shine. But nobody could take the lead on a song like this quite like "Big Jim"
If your a born again Christian your just stopping by on your way home to be with your father
I like this song. How true it is that this world is not our home. We're looking for a city whose builder and maker is God.
Amen brother!!!
Benjamin God bless you!!!
This is what I call music!
Foot tapping.. Encouraging... Soul blessing... Amen and Amen!!!
The feller on the piano! X-D Amen!
Anthony burger is the greatest pianist ever in gospel music

Hello Sharon
How are you doing today?
These Sanger's and these songs still have meaning they are still making a difference in the lives of others and doing the work of the Lord's work
