There is a Negro Spiritual with lyrics

Over my head
I hear music in the air
Over my head
I hear music in the air
Over my head
I hear music in the air
There must be a God somewhere

What is the title of that song?

Chris, I think that was done by "God's Property" and I think the title is "Over my head".

Kirk Franklin had something to do with it.

I never could get with that guy, somethin' wasn't right about him.

Carey:

Oh come on! I remember hearing Wings Over Jordan or the Fisk Jubilee Singers do it years ago.

Carey--I found it:

http://www.hymnsite.com/fws/hymn.cgi?2148

The site that I went to had about two hundred Old Negro Spirituals but somehow omitted this one, that I found after some rough googlin' (I thought I could just ask an Old Negro, but apparently ain't none around here Old enough)

Now me and you can get together for some whiskey drinkin' and you can render some of these songs to me in dat deep, boomin' bull like Paul Robeson Basso Profundo voice of yours!
