I used to hear the thumping bass from this track in the late 60's booming through the wall of Dino's coffee bar in Beachlands, Hayling Island, while I collected money from the tourists parking their cars on the beach for 2/6d  (4/- on Sundays).

 

 

I don't recognize the tune but I assume it's homegrown.

So why not change the title to Tippaporn's Gospel Thread.  555

'Holy people rolling joints' lol, love Country Joe

I remember the Nazareth version Tippers from years ago. What a voice the lead singer had! Powerful and moving.

Too bad it's brass and percussion only.  Otherwise that ensemble is missing Johnny Depp on guitar clad in his full Pirates Of The Carribean garb.

Bow Down Mister is a song written by English singer Boy George, under the pseudonym "Angela Dust", and recorded by his first musical group following his departure from Culture Club, Jesus Loves You. Inspired by a trip George took to India, the song is a tribute to the Hare Krishna movement and incorporates the Hare Krishna mantra. Indian singer Asha Bhosle performs the female vocals on the song but is uncredited on the single release.

Recorded between '88 & '89 and released on the '90 The Martyr Mantras album.

Well, if folks still haven't gotten religion by this time then I'm afraid there's no salvation for ya and it's time to move on.

There's an old spiritual entitled Steal Away.  There were a few song titles that I found which were not covers of this song but were excellent enough and fit in the parameters of this thread as well.

Give it a rest Tippaporn and stop trying to ram this religion/gospel stuff down folks necks. Please.

I know you will say that if I don't like it, don't read it, but I don't know that until I have read what you write.

Anyway I think you will be on my ignore list soon. Bye.

Sorry to hear about your confusion, KannikaP.  Perhaps this explanation will clear things up for you.

I've been a music enthusiast of the first order the entirety of my life.  There are few things in this world that I could freely gift to others that can match the gift of music.  That explains why I'm here and why I post in proliferation.  It explains why I enjoy providing not just the song itself but, depending, perhaps it's roots, it's historical context, interesting tidbits, and whatever other relevant information about the music which others might find, say, enriching.  It's done out of my love for music, you see.

I've been posting on this thread since 2017.  Those who have been with me through those years have come to know that I enjoy posting music which follows a theme.  Perhaps it's anti-war protest songs, or female artists, or train songs, or the roots of rock 'n' roll songs, or particular genres.  Or music that was birthed by particularly profound human events.  Such as spirituals, which have sadly rubbed you the wrong way, due to your own personal beliefs I'm sure.  Especially as you seem to have been bitten by the assumption that because I post this genre of music I do so not to show how that genre evolved and expressed itself in our era but only because I'm trying to push religion. 

My dear fellow, you could not have it more wrong.  For one, I am not religious in the least.  For another, in fact, I am probably one of the few that understand full well that there is nothing to save.  In which case you'll never find me trying to convince anyone of anything.

The Thais have this wonderful saying for people who become much too serious.  Jai yen yen.  Have a beer and enjoy a smile.

Thanks for this, I understand. I too have been a professional performer for most of my life, since 14 years old, so my knowledge and appreciation of all genres of music is vast. It was just the Gospel (religious) bit which rubbed me up the wrong way as I am an atheist until proved wrong. Cheers.

Religion and politics.  Two sordid subjects which, if happiness is your goal in life, are best to avoid. 

Anyway, I'm happy to have us understand one another.  Cheers, mate. 

And now for another gospel tune . . . .

Seriously, though, while I can't get into a lot of gospel music there is certainly some of it which, while not gospel in the strictest sense, is heavenly (excuse the pun) to my ears.  I'll repost one of my favourites.

Perhaps I'll make mention of why I like to post themes.  Since I am so deep into music a theme forces me to explore it, research it, through which process I find myself not only educated but continually being blessed (again, excuse my penchant for being a smartass) by finding such celestial () gems as Nina Simone's Sinnerman.
