  I do! They fit the strong lead singer description for sure but what I can’t seem to find is it paired with an upbeat choir.

  Like imagine being in a pew of a small black church in Georgia. They’ve got a piano, a bass, and maybe a small drum kit. The singer is going ham and a small choir is backing them up.

  My Lord Jesus, glory be! (Glory be! Glory be!)

  Lord Jesus always there for me! (Glory be! Yes indeed!)

    Yes … it’s called a James Brown concert

    I’ve never been to one but I have several friends who said they did. There are also a bunch of videos that show it and if you watch them long enough (because the real life performances are really long) … it’s not an event, it’s a spiritual.

      I love James Brown but what I’m describing is very much not a James Brown concert, he has a full band with horns and electric instruments
