I enjoyed this DVD myself. The other posters and the opening review have given a good idea of what it's all about. The Mahalia Jackson and Shirely Ceasar performances (both recorded in England, the former in 1984 and the latter in 1964) are almost worth the price of admission as both are quite powerful. The narrators, by the way, are identified during the proceedings. They include Rev. Wyatt T. Walker, one of Dr. King;s associates, and Dr. Horace Boyer, a scholar of gospel music. However, the editors stupidly cut up an extremely rare clip of the Edwin Hawkins Singers singing one of the greatest gospel records of all time, "Oh Happy Day". The entire perfromance should have appeared as an extra. It's wonderful. You will surely play it more than once.
