Review by Bryce Cowlings

Lillie Reaching A Gift Of Love: A Soulful Gospel Journey That Still Resonates Released in 1976, Lillie Reaching A Gift Of Love by Lillie Knauls is a hidden gem in the world of funk and soul-infused gospel music. Hailing from the USA and Canada, with Sweden also embracing its release under Paragon Records, this album stands as a testament to Knauls' ability to blend heartfelt spirituality with raw musicality. With tracks that speak directly to both the heart and the spirit, it’s no wonder this record remains cherished by gospel enthusiasts. One track that sticks out is "Jesus, I Feel Your Touch." It’s not just the title that grabs you—it’s how Knauls delivers her message with such warmth and conviction. Her voice feels like an embrace; it doesn’t shout at you but instead pulls you close, inviting you into a moment of reflection. The instrumentation here is simple yet powerful—gentle piano chords paired with understated percussion create space for her vocals to shine. This song reminds listeners of faith's personal side, where belief isn't abstract or distant—it’s intimate, tangible, something you can almost reach out and hold. Another standout is “Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child.” If you know anything about traditional spirituals, then you already get why this one hits different. Knauls takes what could easily feel heavy and transforms it into something uplifting without losing sight of its roots. The arrangement keeps things stripped back, letting the emotion in her voice carry the weight. There’s a certain ache in her delivery, but also hope—a reminder that even in loneliness, grace finds a way through. You don’t forget a performance like that anytime soon. The rest of the album flows beautifully between celebratory anthems like “Jesus Is Lord Of All” and meditative pieces like “He Giveth More Grace.” Tracks like “Spiritual Medley” showcase Knauls’ versatility, weaving together familiar hymns with seamless transitions. And while some songs lean more toward quiet devotion, others burst forth with joyful energy, proving she knows exactly when to let loose and when to pull back. What makes Lillie Reaching A Gift Of Love special isn’t just its genre-blending sound—it’s the authenticity behind every note. Listening to it now, decades after its release, feels almost surreal. Here’s an artist who wasn’t trying to chase trends or reinvent herself for commercial gain. She sang because she had something to say, plain and simple. And honestly? It kinda blows your mind thinking about how much work went into albums like these back then. No fancy tech, no endless edits—just real voices, real instruments, and real passion poured into every second. Makes you wonder if we’ve lost a bit of that magic today. So yeah, give this album a spin if you’re looking for something soul-stirring. Just don’t be surprised if you find yourself hitting repeat… or maybe shedding a tear or two. After all, good music does that sometimes—it sneaks up on you when you least expect it.

Over 20 yrs i have been looking for this album on YouTube and just couldn't find it. I was just finding some of the songs. Had the LP record,(loooong time)lend it to a Pastor and his daughter broke it. Little apology with no replacement. Tonight I have eventually found the entire album. Thank you Lord. Your word says, "Seek and you shall find." This has made my assignment at work tonight very delightful. ??❤

I love this album. My mother played it when I was a child. I watched her worship God with tears in her eyes. She passed January 26, 2017, of Lung Cancer. She was 81 years old now she is with God, Praising with the Angels. I searched for this Album last year but I could only find the song “Reaching.” Now look today, I find the whole album. Thank you Jesus! Thank you for whoever downloaded the whole album. I believe just for me, Pastor Alaenna J. Harvey, who loved watching her mother Worship!
