“O How Good And How Pleasant” is one of the Gospel song that we always love to sing.
It is composed by The L.A Gospel Messengers – James Cleveland (1931-1991 – He won 4 times of the Grammy Award, A-lister of Gospel musician)
It is one of the first songs that we learned when we formed our choir. Its magical rhythm just holds us together, give us energy. Especially at the middle, repeating “together” and “Oh Yes! It’s Wonderful~” creating a spectacular sensation ! Follow with the last part, the repeating of “So Good”, musical interval generating extraordinary energy with this powerful lyric. It is just gorgeous ~ !
In fact, our then-instructor Greg Hartdige entered into the arena of gospel music after his talent was discovered by well-known James Cleveland. This song has had such a background.
