Thread Name: Origins: This Old Time Religion (Spiritual/Gospel)
Subject: Lyr Add: The Old Time Religion (All Over Me}
Here's a link to a YouTube video of a 1960s group called the Violinaires singing "It's That Old Time Religion" {Got It All Over Me".
The words & tune for this gospel song are very different from "Give Me That Old Time Religion". "It's That Old Time Religion" {Got It All Over Me" has a call & response pattern. The tune is jazzy/uptempo. The vocalist have a band backing them up. Members of the singing group {as well as the audience} clap their hands and stomp their feet as additional accompaniment for the singing.
Btw, the group's look {they're wearing cream colored suits with black ties} and their choreography remind me of male 1960s R&B groups like the Temptations & The Four Tops.
Here's an admittedy incomplete transcription of the words that I heard in the video clip:
