  • Mother and SuperIntendant Debra Freeman blessed us on the organ after a mens day service 7/13/14. This type of playing I grew up on in the Church Of God In Christ. Listen and enjoy!

    It’s enough for an atheist to want to go to church

      Not really 😉
      But to be honest, there is other religious inspired music which made me go into churches (not to church though). No expensive Stereo system can ever match the impression of a classical church organ.

      I can think of one thing, the sound of a Hammond running through a Leslie, accompanied by a killer bass player, and a spirit filled gospel choir singing praises to Jesus in a bitter sweet minor key. 👍👍👍

    Im white ( descended from Scotland but family living in Australia ) and I love my culture and am proud of it but I have to say I absolutely adore your culture. I have always wanted to come over to America and spend time in all the soul towns ( is that an expression haha ) like Memphis, etc and I have always wanted to try soul food and go to a few services in your churches and pray to the Lord with you guys. If I wasn't Scottish, I would definitely be proud to be born black. Consider me your brother from another mother.

    I may be a Jew (not related to you by any means, unless you are some of my black Jewish brothers and sisters), but I see this woman and am reminded of one of my sweet grandma’s from my Pentecostal church in my hometown. Before I moved west to attend Bible college (I’m majoring in pastoral theology at a Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada Bible College), I had this one woman who made me an honorary grandchild. Harriet plays the organ every Sunday night at Bethel Apostolic, and like this sweet sister when she plays you can definitely feel the anointing. Thanks for posting this video, it was a blessing to me.

  • @STSGuitar16
    @STSGuitar16 Před 3 lety +7

    Incredible. What amazing feel. I'm just a 22 year old white boy who grew up in a mostly-white baptist church, and as a huge fan of the blues and gospel music, this just cuts directly to my core. Growing up, church was always soooo boring to me, but the coolest parts were always when the organist would play a piece while they pass around the offering plates and stuff. Now, this was a pipe organ so it definitely had a different sound to a B3, but it was always my favorite part of any church service.
    But this....this is just something else entirely! I would go to church every single day to hear some B3 playing like this!!! Something about that instrument just hits you right in the feelings and conveys emotion so incredibly well. And with playing chops like Mama Debra, you might as well skip the sermon, I just got all that I need by hearing her playing that organ. I am serious, there is nothing that a preacher could say that could make me feel the spirit as much as a Hammond B3 can. Maybe that is blasphemous to say that, but what a great tradition.
    To any young worship leaders out there who may read this, please please PLEASE don't let this instrument die and disappear from modern churches. Take in that raw emotion and embrace it in your services. It is just next level good.

    Just wanna say... this is one of the coolest videos I've seen on this website. Brings me to a time I wasn't even around to see.. and to my younger years when I still went to church with my mother and grandparents. But really, religious affiliations aside, this is just awesome. Love the sound of those organs and man can she play.

    33 years of playing piano and keyboards, and I can learn most things, but I will never be this cool.
