This is an OAKpella Gem! First of all how many of yall even remember this song? Secondly tell us the last time you heard an SDA congregation break out into "spontaneous acapellia" with no need for accompianment?

"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?
