One I know is "I'm on my Way" (response) "to Glory Land" (response). Anyone know where I can find more. I think Woody Guthrie did Call and REsponse singing, didn't he? |

27 Feb 04 - 09:10 AM (#1125116) Subject: RE: Call and Response songs - gospel From: Jerry Rasmussen A cxouple of songs that come to mind, which are not well known are Who Built The Ark? Lead: Who built the Ark? Response: Brother Noahey repeated twice; Then, sung by lead singer and harmonies: Brother Noahey built that Ark Brother Noahey built that Art Oh, Moanah, You shall be free, oh you shall be free When the good Lord sets you free And, an old southern black gospel song Toll The Bell: Lead: Toll the bell Response: I done got over Repeat twice The lead and harmonies sing : I done got over at last The verses are familiar to many black gospel songs. For example: Lead: My hand got stuck to the gospel plow Response: I done got over at last Lead: I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now Response: I done got over at last More commonly, many black gospel songs have the first line sung by the lead, and then the lead and harmonies join together, repeating the first line: Lead: Woke up this morning with my mind, standing on Jesus All: Repeat twice Lead: Hallelu Response: Send down Lead: Hallelu Response: My Lord All: Hallelujah Jerry |
