I am posting this as a tribute to legendary Gospel outfit The Soul Stirrers and also to showcase Sam Cooke's Gospel singing roots and talents before he leaned to the world of popular music. I am not posting this as a religious statement, although I am Christian (spec. Catholic), this is purely to indulge in the vocal mastery of this group, as their voices tell the story. One of pictures (no.2) is of the Cook(e) family back in Clarksdale Mississippi. Enjoy!

i dont believe in god at all, but i feel like its about being nearer to one and other not just to god, its time we lift our voices in our brothers and sisters names not just god.

The Roman Catholic Church, or more simply, The Church, is the One True Faith and the Revelation of the One True God. The Head of The Church is not His Holiness but the Lord Jesus Christ. The Pope is first among his bishops.

This is the very first Gospel song I ever heard, and I absolutely loved it the first time I heard it! Sam's voice was certainly blessed by God. It just draws you in and sticks with you forever. I was brought up by his secular tunes and for the longest, I was more familiar with them, but his Gospel work is a whole other dimmension. I will definitely share this with everyone that crosses my path. Thanks so much for the upload!

If your catholic, then your considered catholic not christian. but i know what you mean but if your practicing catholic faith that haves the pope as the head of the catholic church thats weird. christians don't pray to the virgin mary either,Jesus died for the church not any pope. I once was a catholic which like most, i was brought into it by family tradition not by choice.. Thanks be to God for His Son Jesus Christ.
