    Oh-Happy-Day appears 59 times in his arrangement of the Gospel song “Oh Happy Day”. I counted every one when I was 10 yrs old. Edwin Hawkins (1943-2018), Rest In “Happy” Peace.

        Amazing to think this hit #4 in the pop charts in late 60's. Radio was great then - you could hear everything.

        Neil I love the way you talk and how you explain things. Carl Sagan was also my mentor, I loved the way he talked and the way he laymamized science so anyone could understand it, you talk a lot like him, love listening to you. " Edwin Hawkins rest in peace"

        This gospel tune was a top ten hit when I was a HS senior on the south side in 1968-69. I still love it and rock to it. I think I’ll play it right now. RIP, Edwin Hawkins, and thanks.
