“Oh Happy Day” is a 1967 gospel music arrangement of an 18th century hymn. Recorded by the Edwin Hawkins Singers, it became an international hit in 1969, reaching US #4 and UK #2 on the pop charts. It has since become a gospel music standard.
Edwin Hawkins’ funk style arrangement of the hymn “Oh Happy Day” has a long pedigree: It began as a hymn written in the mid-18th century (“Oh happy day that fixed my choice”) by English clergyman Phillip Doddridge (based on Acts 8:35) set to an earlier melody (1704) by J. A. Freylinghausen. By the mid-19th century it had been given a new melody by Edward F. Rimbault and was commonly used for baptismal or confirmation ceremonies in the UK and USA. The 20th century saw its adaptation from 3/4 to 4/4 time and this new arrangement by Hawkins, which contains the repeated refrain only (all of the original verses being omitted).

The people employed are not receiving a living wage.
Whether fast food workers or abjunct professors, too many are given temporary status that does not reach enough hours per week to qualify for health insurance and benefits.

The Dylann Roofs – and those in making and waiting, are ‘worthy’ successors of their lowlife white supremacist progenitors..
This is why I can’t stand David Axelrod. I wish he’d shut the fuck up. There is more than enough to impeach this scum. We can never normalize his destructive treasonous behavior.

No case?
Phuck Outta Here
We are talking about TREASON AGAINST THIS COUNTRY!!
Have a stadium full of seats, Axelrod.
Just a peek into the general mindset, warped projections, biases and skewed perspectives of the not so slick racially ‘privileged’ opportunists who routinely mistreated and endlessly disrespected, disregarded, diminished and dismissed the Princeton and Harvard educated historic First Lady – the black wife of 25+ years of the historic president they hitched their wagons to for self-profit..
And Axelrod is said to have been one of the ‘nicer’ ones..
Imagine that..
