In God’s Own Time (My Change Will Come)

I’ve tried to “hold out” 😉 on posting original versions of songs the Joyful Voices has sung in the past thinking that I should expose people to songs they may not have heard before, but the choir’s 17 year repertoire is so large that I’ve overlooked posting some great songs. So I’m going to start posting more songs that JVOI has sung over the years.

Here is the original 1979 version of “My Change Will Come” performed by James Cleveland and The Triboro Mass Choir under the direction of Rev. Albert Jamison from their 1979 Grammy nominated album of the same name. Rev. Albert Jamison went on the succeed Rev. Cleveland after his death as the head of the Gospel Music Workshop of America (GMWA) that was founded by Rev. Cleveland in 1967.  The song runs over seven minutes but is cut short leaving one longing to hear the rest of the song and find out what other wonderful things may have happened that we’ll never know about.

Many people may also be interested to learn there are two verses (at 1:16 and 2:13) that JVOI never learned. In addition, it’s also fun to hear Rev. Cleveland give his two signature asides…”Shhhh” which he uses both to quiet the audience (4:15) as well as direct the choir to sing softer  (5:15) depending on when it is used, and “heh heh” (4:25) that he often uses in delight.
