Awesome, powerful, outstanding and great were just some of the words being voiced by many after the concert/recording by Lee Williams and The Spiritual QC’s on Saturday, June 2, 2007. The word that best describe the recording for us is ANOINTED.
After devotion, the program began with The Golden Wings Quartet of Tupelo, Mississippi, ministering to the congregation of about 3,000. The Golden Wings is a great group. These guys are positioned to continue to deliver to the world that “Tupelo” style that has become a signature of Lee Williams and The Spiritual QC’s. They do not sound like the QC's, but they do have a very unique style and sound. If you have not heard these guys, you owe it to yourself to find their CD or DVD tilted You've Got To Leave It Here! Live In Concert. The group is currently on the Low Rush Music Label.
Linwood, the comedian, was allowed to entertain for about 40 minutes. He was much of what you would expect. Laughter was the order of the day. And, Linwood delivered. After Linwood, about 20 persons were allowed to tell us why they love the ministry (and what the group’s songs mean to them) of Lee Williams and The Spiritual QC’s. There were some very moving testimonies. Hopefully, the testimonies will make it on the DVD.
When James Chambers introduced Lee Williams and The Spiritual QC’s the musicians enter the sanctuary from various isles. Therefore, you had spotlights moving all over the sanctuary. After the musicians were in position, Lee, Leonard and Patrick moved into position from behind the curtain that covered the back of what would become the stage.
The group sang twelve songs. They included two (2) previously recorded songs, a new arrangement to an old familiar song, and many new songs. From the beginning of the first note by Al Hollis to the last beat of the drum. this was an anointed service. The members of the congregation were on their feet for most of the evening. When Lee began to sing “So much to be thankful for,” the Holy Spirit could truly be felt. If anyone present did not feel the power of the Holy Spirit during this song, they need to check their relationship with our Lord and Savior. The song was delivered with such an anointing that Patrick, Leonard, and Al were shouting and verbally praising God. The musicians left their instruments and just praised God. Lee stood STILL for at least 5 minutes (if not longer), not singing, not humming, just standing STILL. And, for those who were close enough to the group you could see the tears being shed. If only a tenth (10%) of the power that was present Saturday night emanates from the CD and DVD, you are sure to be blessed. In fact, the move of the Holy Spirit was so powerful until the title of the Live Recording has been changed to “So much to be thankful for.”
Patrick actually sings lead on four (4) songs. He shares lead duties with Lee on one song. Leonard sang lead on two (2) songs. One of the songs that Leonard sang was “Oh I Want to See Him.” The arrangement to this song is nothing but superb. It would not be surprising to find, immediately after August 28, 2007, soloists, groups and choirs adopting the unique arrangement presented by the group to this very traditional song. People were shouting It’s a hit, It’s a hit, It’s a hit, over and over. And, they are right. This song will get lots of airplay.
The guys ministered for about 75 minutes. No one would have been disappointed had the concert continued for another 75 minutes.
People came from all over the United States to attend this Live Recording. They came from as far away as California and New York. Many came from Texas, South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, Illinois, Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and numerous other states.
It should be noted that George Dean is one of the producers of this recording. So, you know this is going to be a great recording. August 28, 2007, is the release date for the CD and the DVD. What a blessing it will be to witness this anointed recording over and over and over.
By the way, we used 'congregation' to describe those attending the concert because it was not just a concert, but a spiritual service. |
