"OAKapella" was not limited to male groups, trios, small groups, and traditional choirs. DYNAMIC PRAISE ( Directed by Owen Simons, ) is known for its Gospel Music Performances; but they also sang Hymns and Spirituals as well. Here is an example from The Fall Concert in November of 1991 in the skating rink (Moran Hall was proving to be too small for AYS concerts by this time.). Who knew that Dynamic Praise had a BASS Section? By the way can someone tell me who directed this song?

AEOLIANS. "AIN'T GOT LONG TO BE HERE." This video begins with the 1984 debut performance at the 1984 ACHE HBCU Choir Festival held at Alabama A&M University. Since all of the music performed required had to be composed by Black authors, Dr Alma Blackmon took the opportunity to present this spiritual composed by Mervyn E Warren. The final part of this video segues 20 year laters at the 2004 Aeolian Reunion Concert held at the Cathedral Chapel in Atlanta GA.

In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the Oakwood College Graduating Class of 1985, we are presenting the Baccalaureate service. "STAYING POWER" preached by Dr. Barry Black has gone down in history as one of the most powerful and inspirational sermons ever preached at the Oakwood University Church. Dr Black was eloquently introduced by the late Dr Benjamin Reaves, President of Oakwood College. This video released originally on VHS videocassette, is another very Precious Memory from Oakwood College.

A MUST SEE Sermon Highlight Compilation featuring Iconic Black SDA Preachers from the 1980s and 90s. Featured are Charles Bradford, E. E. Cleveland, E.C. Ward, Walter Pearson, H.L. Cleveland, Dr. Barry Black, and Henry Wright among others. This compilation features short video clips from classic sermons originally archived on VHS video cassettes, demonstrating how the "old school" preachers were adept at making us smile with humorous illustrations, while still delivering those basic doctrinal truths. Watch closely, and you will also observe many Legendary SDA "saints" who have passed on, worshipping in the congregational scenes. This 77 minute video compilation ends with a historical appearance of Elders Bradford, Cleveland, and Brooks sharing the same pulpit for a compelling appeal. Share your memories about these inspiring old school preachers or of anyone that you see in the congregation below.

Back in 1990, Take 6's founder of the Grammy Winning Acapella Band would often be asked in TV interviews
how TAKE 6 got started. Claude McKnight would inevitably start the story with Back in 1980......

I'm sure First Church Inspirational Choir director Cleveland Wilson would agree that this 1992 performance with Eleanor Wright singing solo on A Better Day, (a song she composed), was a highlight of their 50 year existence. For those who don't know, Eleanor along with the Blend Wright Trio and the Dale Wright Memorial Church in Germantown, Ohio, almost singlehandly made gospel music "legal" in the SDA denomination back in the late 60s and 70s.
