Paul Simon And Friends - A Night Of Gospel Details

Paul Simon And Friends - A Night Of Gospel

Here is an overwhelming evening of stirring gospel performances, featuring a multitude of gospel superstars from every tradition, all on a single stage and overseen by the pioneering singer/songwriter and ardent gospel fan Paul Simon. From the ecstatic, over-the-top beauty of Jennifer Holliday’s wild belting, to the tight harmonies of the Oak Ridge Boys and Mighty Clouds of Joy, to the soulful crooning of the late Luther Vandross, to the contemporary gospel of Andrae Crouch, from ‘Oh Happy Day’ and ‘I Made a Step’ to traditional songs like ‘His Eye Is on the Sparrow,’ this show gathers an extraordinary wealth of music, devotion, intensity, fun and excitement into a single evening. Host Paul Simon joins the Oak Ridge Boys for ‘Slip Slidin’ Away,’ and his own ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ is paired with the classic ‘Still Waters Run Deep.’ The opener and the finale of ‘Amazing Grace’ bring all the superstars together in a rousing burst of gospel glory.
