    The Gospel keynotes sang a song titled ‘Only God Knows’. They sing: My heart goes out to those who can spend Christmas at home this year. My heart goes out to those who will be all alone this year.🎶

    Welcome back to your favorite spot in the world where the rhythm meets the spirit. You’re tuning in with your host Gail Nobles.

    Today I’m talking about the legendary Gospel Keynotes with their heartfelt tune. Only God knows, and let me tell you folks that song hits deep.

    My heart goes out to those who will be all alone this year. 🎶

    Now let’s take a moment and soak that in. Isn’t that the truth? Christmas-a time for joy, a time for family, but hey, life isn’t always that picture-perfect holiday card is it? Still, Christ is always there, reminding us that it’s really all about Him every day.

    For many out there, this season can be tough whether it’s due to circumstances, distance, or maybe lost loved ones, not everyone gets to enjoy the holiday glow surrounded by their nearest and dearest. And you know what? That’s OK! Because while the festivities might feel a little dimmer, the message of love, hope, and faith shines bright my friends.

    That’s where songs like this come in. They remind us to extend our hearts and hands to those who are struggling. So whether you’re celebrating with a crowd or navigating the holiday solo just remember you’re not alone.

    In the spirit of the season, I’m calling on all you listeners out there. Reach out to someone who might be feeling blue this Christmas, drop a call, send a message. Even a warm smile can make a world of difference. We’ve all got a little light to share, and together, we can spread that holiday cheer, no matter where we find ourselves.

    So stay tuned because we’ve got more uplifting tunes to talk about coming your way to keep that spirit alive. This is Gail Nobles reminding you to keep the faith spread love and let music lift you higher.

    Today’s topic: The Gospel Keynotes. Only God knows where you’ll spend Christmas this year 🎶

    Today’s topic is the Edwin Hawkins singers. They sing: Children, Oh children, won’t you try to get together? Children Oh children, try a little love for your sisters and brothers.

    My dear friends, today I invite you to join me in a melody that rings through the ages, a song that speaks to our hearts. It is an anthem of love and unity, as expressed by the Edwin Hawkins Singers in their call to "Get Together."

    The song comes from their 1971 album: The Edwin Hawkins singers-Children Get Together.
    In a world that often pulls us apart, we hear the clarion call that beckons us to embrace our sisters and brothers with a spirit of love and compassion. In the beauty of this song, we find a profound truth: every child, every individual, is a thread woven into the magnificent creation. We must remember that it is love that binds us together and forges the connections that transcend the barriers of race, creed, and circumstance.

    Let us take a moment to think about this call. It urges us to reach out—to think about the life we lead and how we interact with one another. Are we lifting each other up? Are we approaching our fellow beings with kindness? Or are we stuck in our own narrow outlooks, forgetting that we are all part of the same human family?

    Friends, it is not enough to simply coexist. We must actively engage in the sacred act of love. This love is not merely an emotion; it is a duty, a responsibility we owe to one another. It asks us to stand in the face of division, to break down the walls of indifference and to say, "I will take a step toward you; I will meet you where you are."

    The Edwin Hawkins Singers remind us, "Try a little love for your sisters and brothers." Such simple words carry immense weight. It asks us to take action—to extend our hands, to open our hearts, and to share the burden of one another’s struggles. To love is to recognize the inherent dignity in every human being, regardless of where they come from or what they believe.

    Let us embrace this vision, where love is our guiding principle. Love is powerful enough to heal wounds, to mend broken relationships, and to foster a world where understanding prevails over conflict. In this collective love, we can build bridges, break chains, and uplift those who have been grouped together and oppressed.

    So please, let us pledge to try a little more love for our sisters and brothers.

  • The Second Chapter - The Train 9:9:24 3.23 PM

    The Second Chapter - The Train 9:9:24 3.23 PM
    Sep 9 2024
    Keyboardist: Gail Nobles

    The song The Train is by the male Gospel group known as The Second Chapter. It’s a song of journey towards salvation. The way their music is played in the song is like the sound of a train. I don't know much about the group Second Chapter, but that song,The Train, should have gotten an award if it didn't.

    The song came from the 1994 album entitled Feel the Spirit. They tell the story in the song about a train and a conductor who was an old sanctified man that would get happy up in the engine, how he would reach and grab hold of horn, and he would start blowing. Second Chapter would give a demonstration in their music how the horn and the bell and train would sound. And they would sing Whoo! woo! if you don't want to go, you don't have to go, you don't have to ride this train.

    You can hear the Second Chapter’s song The Train from their album Feel the Spirit on Spotify. I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to a show about the gospel greats. Thank you for listening.
