"I was there in Memphis, Tennessee in 1978 at the recording of this masterpiece of worship and praise. I am glad to finally see it on CD. It was well past midnight, and the late Dr. Mattie Moss Clark was at her best. No one could make it happen like Mattie! The 1,000 plus Church of God in Christ (COGIC) International Mass Choir was singing as only they can. The Clark Sisters were defining their unique style. The audience was explosive! If you are a lover of traditional gospel live recording sessions, who must get this CD! It's awesome. Thank you Dr. Clark for such a precious memory."

"This was one of the first gospel albums I purchased back in 1980. In those days, gospel was not "so hot" accoring to secular standards, however this album is simply supurb. The late Dr. Mattie Moss Clark directs a choir over 1,000 voices. Twinkie Clarks plays organ all through the album while someone is on the drums and piano as well. Dorinda Clark delivers "If Ye Believe In God" and the Clark sisters also sang "What He's Done For Me" & "A Praying Spirit". The title cut is annointed as well. all I can say is if you miss that "church" sound on CD, i suggest you get this cd and give God the praise. I love "Solid Rock" Sung in choral traditional style."
