00:00:23,914 --> 00:00:26,519
Down through the ages, gospel's what?

He just got the spirit all over him.

You know, that's what the
Lord wants us to have.

48
00:02:15,335 --> 00:02:19,840
Now, somebody gets drunk and
they get that cussin' spirit

49
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,221
and they get the cursing,

50
00:02:21,221 --> 00:02:22,983
but this fellow's got the spirit of God.

51
00:02:22,983 --> 00:02:24,674
Isn't that wonderful?

00:02:24,674 --> 00:02:26,176

00:02:27,337 --> 00:02:28,777
Of 34 years.

55
00:02:28,777 --> 00:02:30,000
I didn't know.

56
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,292
Well he's got what it takes, honey.

57
00:02:32,292 --> 00:02:33,753
He's got what it takes.

00:02:33,753 --> 00:02:35,485
God has blessed you.

How you sweetie?

60
00:02:36,366 --> 00:02:39,379
I have a God to glorify.

61
00:02:39,379 --> 00:02:43,303
The Lord gave me a charge
and that's my voice

62
00:02:43,303 --> 00:02:46,756
to sing and preach and I do both.

63
00:02:46,756 --> 00:02:50,680
Father God in the name of
Jesus, touch this brother.

64
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,432
He's your child.

65
00:02:52,432 --> 00:02:53,914
Deliver him.

66
00:02:53,914 --> 00:02:55,428
Give him his voice back, Lord.

67
00:02:56,276 --> 00:03:00,010
Take the strain from
speaking away from him

68
00:03:00,010 --> 00:03:02,182
and nobody but you can do it.

69
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:04,875
We ask these favors all in Jesus name.

70
00:03:04,875 --> 00:03:07,841
I feel like I had
something down inside of me

71
00:03:07,841 --> 00:03:08,796
that felt to people.

72
00:03:08,796 --> 00:03:10,258

75

and people who feel like nobody care.

76
00:03:17,237 --> 00:03:21,324
And in my song, I try my best
to lift the hearts of people.

77

Darling, I love you for that.

93
00:04:38,932 --> 00:04:41,811
I've been singing these
songs over 60 years.

94
00:04:41,811 --> 00:04:44,243
This is my daughter.

95
00:04:44,243 --> 00:04:47,101
I've been traveling with
my daughter at the piano.

96
00:04:47,101 --> 00:04:47,935
Yes indeed.

97
00:04:47,935 --> 00:04:49,659
You've been telling the message song.

98
00:04:49,659 --> 00:04:50,493
That's right.

99
00:04:50,493 --> 00:04:53,353
You've touched thousands
and they done seen Jesus

100
00:04:53,353 --> 00:04:55,245
if they never would've seen him.

101
00:04:55,245 --> 00:04:58,245
Somebody touched you one
day and Lord have mercy

102
00:04:58,245 --> 00:05:00,040
and you haven't been the same since.

103
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:00,933
That's right.

104
00:05:00,933 --> 00:05:02,185
Have mercy.

105
00:05:02,185 --> 00:05:04,514
No one in the world

106
00:05:04,514 --> 00:05:06,516
know me better than my daughter, Bertha.

107
00:05:07,577 --> 00:05:10,623
Bertha and I were known as
a mother and daughter team.

108
00:05:11,631 --> 00:05:15,495
And you know, she wrote a story about us

109
00:05:15,495 --> 00:05:19,039
and one day she decided to read it to me.

110
00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:21,702
My mother, Sister Willie Mae Ford Smith

111
00:05:21,702 --> 00:05:24,294
and daughter have traveled extensively

112
00:05:24,294 --> 00:05:27,988
from coast to coast,
north, east, and west.

113
00:05:27,988 --> 00:05:30,780
You name it, we been there.

114
00:05:30,780 --> 00:05:31,861
What were we doing?

115
00:05:31,861 --> 00:05:34,965
Mission work and singing to great crowds

116
00:05:34,965 --> 00:05:37,227
and small congregation.

117
00:05:37,227 --> 00:05:41,261
We take no limitation when
it came to serving people

118
00:05:41,261 --> 00:05:43,083
who really want to hear us.

119
00:05:43,083 --> 00:05:45,439
We did not choose a certain crowd.

120
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:46,523
We couldn't afford to.

121
00:05:46,523 --> 00:05:50,320
We worked about 1000 revivals.

122
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,966
We made our average 2000 programs.

123
00:05:54,004 --> 00:05:56,116
And some of our great churches we worked,

124
00:05:56,116 --> 00:06:00,310
when I say work and labor hard.

125
00:06:00,310 --> 00:06:03,296
It's not like this present time.

126
00:06:03,296 --> 00:06:06,946
We didn't have to be highly educated.

127
00:06:06,946 --> 00:06:09,459
We didn't have the degrees of music,

128
00:06:09,459 --> 00:06:11,871
but God was ever present.

129
00:06:11,871 --> 00:06:13,783
And we had been to so many cities

130
00:06:13,783 --> 00:06:16,716
where gospel singers was very unknown,

131
00:06:16,716 --> 00:06:20,530
but before we left they
become very involved

132
00:06:20,530 --> 00:06:22,532
and interested in the songs.

133
00:06:22,532 --> 00:06:24,064
How you can remember?

134
00:06:24,064 --> 00:06:26,236
And singing groups and soloists.

135
00:06:26,236 --> 00:06:27,332
You remember?

136
00:06:27,332 --> 00:06:30,250
We had went everywhere
teaching the soloists.

137
00:06:30,250 --> 00:06:32,952
We got great soloists who we know

138
00:06:32,952 --> 00:06:35,730
we had a hand in raising them,

139
00:06:35,730 --> 00:06:38,275
but really the true facts.

140
00:06:38,275 --> 00:06:41,891
No singer great or small has made it

141
00:06:41,891 --> 00:06:45,365
without the aid of my mama,
Sister Willie Mae Ford Smith.

142
00:06:48,813 --> 00:06:51,482
It's the
old time full gospel

143
00:06:51,482 --> 00:06:54,024
and inspirational voice
for the gateway city.

144
00:06:54,024 --> 00:06:56,736
Yes this is Columbus
Gregory here for KIRL

145
00:06:57,707 --> 00:07:00,650
would like to invite you to
join us this coming Sunday

146
00:07:00,650 --> 00:07:03,723
as we gather to honor that
legend of gospel singers,

147
00:07:03,723 --> 00:07:05,315
Mother Willie Mae Ford Smith

148
00:07:05,315 --> 00:07:08,017
for her 60 years of gospel singing.

149
00:07:08,017 --> 00:07:09,909
This special tribute is bringing together

150
00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:13,022
such inspiring singers as
Delois Barrett Campbell

151
00:07:13,022 --> 00:07:15,735
and the Barrett Sisters from
the windy city of Chicago

152
00:07:15,735 --> 00:07:18,368
Saint Louis' own Zella Jackson Price,

153
00:07:18,368 --> 00:07:21,621
and the favorite O'Neal Twins
with the Interfaith Choir.

154
00:07:21,621 --> 00:07:23,096
Don't miss it.

155
00:07:28,485 --> 00:07:30,880
When I first
started out singing gospel,

156
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,865
the churches didn't want it.

157
00:07:32,865 --> 00:07:35,355
They don't want that
coon shine stuff in here.

158
00:07:35,355 --> 00:07:37,867
We don't want that
ragtime singing in here,

159
00:07:37,867 --> 00:07:40,080
but that didn't stop me.

160
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,403
I kept going because
that's what God wanted.

161
00:07:43,403 --> 00:07:45,047
The gospel in song.

162
00:07:46,636 --> 00:07:49,392

185
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,362
If you can't talk to God.

186
00:09:45,362 --> 00:09:49,118
If you can't say something
to your neighbor about God.

187
00:09:49,118 --> 00:09:53,676
If you don't know God,
need to start over again.

188
00:09:55,285 --> 00:09:57,837
Well thank
God for Professor Dorsey.

189
00:09:58,708 --> 00:10:00,470
He's the only one that would dare

190
00:10:00,470 --> 00:10:03,416
to make gospel music
what it has become today.

191
00:10:04,504 --> 00:10:09,098
He took the church music spiritual hymns

192
00:10:09,098 --> 00:10:12,171
and pepped them up, put a rhythm to them

193
00:10:12,171 --> 00:10:13,646
and called it gospel.

194
00:10:14,624 --> 00:10:18,411
He was the first one to write
and publish gospel song.

195
00:10:20,139 --> 00:10:24,352
Before Mister Dorsey, they
didn't call me gospel singing.

196
00:10:24,352 --> 00:10:27,677
I was just a spiritual
singing revival worker.

197
00:10:27,677 --> 00:10:31,213
He said if you listen
to me, you can go far.

198
00:10:32,262 --> 00:10:34,544
And he didn't want no second best.

199
00:10:34,544 --> 00:10:36,586
He's rough as pig iron.

200
00:10:36,586 --> 00:10:39,101
He wanted you to be good or nothing.

201
00:10:40,340 --> 00:10:42,932
And you know we didn't have the freedom

202
00:10:42,932 --> 00:10:46,175
to sing gospel in our churches,

203
00:10:46,175 --> 00:10:49,859
but Dorsey got us together
and told us who we were.

204
00:10:49,859 --> 00:10:51,921
He was the first one to organize

205
00:10:51,921 --> 00:10:53,646
the gospel singers convention.

206
00:10:54,614 --> 00:10:57,096
The convention came out
of the people struggling

207
00:10:57,096 --> 00:10:58,858
trying to get together.

208
00:10:58,858 --> 00:11:00,520
And Dorsey said you get in here.

209
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:01,976
We'll help you.

210
00:11:01,976 --> 00:11:04,734
And it made some of the best missionaries

211
00:11:04,734 --> 00:11:06,926
that you ever wanna find.

212
00:11:06,926 --> 00:11:11,223
They call me
the father of gospel music.

213
00:11:13,883 --> 00:11:18,888
I started at Pilgrim Baptist
Church right here in Chicago.

214
00:11:21,739 --> 00:11:26,744
I formed the first gospel choir
and I been working with them

215
00:11:28,548 --> 00:11:31,431
for my God I don't know how long.

216
00:11:31,431 --> 00:11:33,045
Since I was a young fella.

217
00:11:34,614 --> 00:11:37,036
We thank you Lord
for last night's sleep.

218
00:11:37,036 --> 00:11:38,638
I've always had struggles,

219
00:11:38,638 --> 00:11:42,054
but I didn't take them to
heart and let them destroy me.

220
00:11:43,336 --> 00:11:47,036
I been thrown out of some
of the best churches.

221
00:11:47,036 --> 00:11:52,041
If they were good to ministry
of men they would've helped me

222
00:11:52,041 --> 00:11:57,106
and not thrown me out,
but I got out on my own

223
00:11:57,106 --> 00:12:00,780
and went on through the world with it

224
00:12:00,780 --> 00:12:05,785
and many, many people has been
helped and saved by gospel.

225
00:12:07,357 --> 00:12:10,740
Bless each of us
with that spiritual blessing

226
00:12:10,740 --> 00:12:12,104
that we so greatly need.

227
00:12:14,934 --> 00:12:17,677
The choir's a great thing to me.

228
00:12:17,677 --> 00:12:20,470
I directed choir all over this world,

229
00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:25,475
but yet when I get back here
I feel better than anything.

230
00:12:31,991 --> 00:12:35,305
And I'm not going to hold ya,

231
00:12:35,305 --> 00:12:37,907
but you've got a lot of work to do.

232
00:12:37,907 --> 00:12:41,621
In this man's world, the
musician, the singer,

233
00:12:44,574 --> 00:12:47,830
and those who can make that music count,

234
00:12:49,539 --> 00:12:52,915
gonna be heaven to use by God himself.

235
00:12:54,204 --> 00:12:58,237

I don't know
anyone that has written songs

260
00:15:22,832 --> 00:15:26,458
as heart searching as Thomas A. Dorsey.

261
00:15:27,366 --> 00:15:29,238
They come out of experience in him.

262
00:15:29,238 --> 00:15:31,167
That's what he said.

263
00:15:31,167 --> 00:15:33,996
There's no song that
could equal Precious Lord.

264
00:15:35,004 --> 00:15:38,037
He wrote Precious Lord
when he was discouraged

265
00:15:38,037 --> 00:15:39,562
and his spirit was broken.

266
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:45,645
Anyway I was in a
revival and my wife was

267
00:15:46,475 --> 00:15:47,526
to become a mother.

268
00:15:47,526 --> 00:15:50,269
I went away with the feeling

269
00:15:50,269 --> 00:15:55,274
that she'd make a lovely,
lovely mother when I came back.

270
00:15:55,434 --> 00:15:59,098
I knew my people were
well when I left home

271
00:16:00,949 --> 00:16:03,462
and they sent for me to come to the door.

272
00:16:03,462 --> 00:16:06,225
I said boy I brought them in the telegram.

273
00:16:06,225 --> 00:16:08,571
I took it and read it.

274
00:16:10,149 --> 00:16:11,755
I almost fell out.

275
00:16:11,755 --> 00:16:13,532
It said hurry home.

276
00:16:13,532 --> 00:16:15,537
Your wife just died.

277
00:16:16,736 --> 00:16:18,679
I don't know how you would accept that.

278
00:16:18,679 --> 00:16:21,014
I couldn't accept it at all.

279
00:16:22,682 --> 00:16:25,895
A friend of mine put me in a
car and took me right home.

280
00:16:25,895 --> 00:16:27,967
I got home and jumped out and ran in

281
00:16:29,318 --> 00:16:30,820
to see if it were really true.

282
00:16:31,711 --> 00:16:34,774
And one of the girls just started crying.

283
00:16:34,774 --> 00:16:36,005
Said Nettie just died.

284
00:16:36,005 --> 00:16:36,839
Nettie just died.

285
00:16:36,839 --> 00:16:38,981
Nettie just died and fell on the floor.

286
00:16:40,419 --> 00:16:44,997
The baby was left alive but the
next two days the baby died.

287
00:16:45,925 --> 00:16:48,040
Now what should I do then and there?

288
00:16:49,128 --> 00:16:50,990
And then they tried to tell me

289
00:16:50,990 --> 00:16:53,923
that things would soon be soothing to me,

290
00:16:53,923 --> 00:16:56,465
but none of it's never been soothing to me

291
00:16:56,465 --> 00:17:00,800
from that day to this day
but two fellas come by.

292
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:01,921
I forget their names.

293
00:17:01,921 --> 00:17:03,222
They were friends of mine.

294
00:17:04,794 --> 00:17:06,185
They were telling me about it

295
00:17:06,185 --> 00:17:07,603
and I said I don't know what to do

296
00:17:07,603 --> 00:17:12,084
and I don't know how
to do and I just tried

297
00:17:13,372 --> 00:17:16,856
to make my little talk to the Lord,

298
00:17:16,856 --> 00:17:20,703
but it was wasted I think
and I called the Lord.

299
00:17:20,703 --> 00:17:21,590
Said one thing.

300
00:17:21,590 --> 00:17:24,613
And one of the others said
no that's not his name.

301
00:17:24,613 --> 00:17:25,627
Say precious Lord.

302
00:17:27,664 --> 00:17:29,065
I said that does sound good.

303
00:17:30,589 --> 00:17:33,155
And got several amens on precious Lord,

304
00:17:34,313 --> 00:17:36,338
and ladies and gentlemen believe or not,

305
00:17:37,406 --> 00:17:39,932
I started singing right then and there.

306
00:17:40,848 --> 00:17:43,976

If you don't leave me home,
lead me until I reach one.

323
00:19:19,658 --> 00:19:24,663
You can't beat it and I've
done it from here to Europe,

324
00:19:24,663 --> 00:19:29,747
all over Europe and some
of the western countries

325
00:19:32,641 --> 00:19:34,550
and they all accept it.

326
00:19:35,795 --> 00:19:37,629
Do that Precious Lord thing.

327
00:19:39,448 --> 00:19:42,771
And I'm gonna keep on doing
it, ladies and gentlemen

328
00:19:44,423 --> 00:19:48,978
until the lady that I work
within makes another appearance

329
00:19:48,978 --> 00:19:52,021
and she's been dead for a long, long time.

330
00:19:52,021 --> 00:19:53,135
So that means what?

331
00:19:54,917 --> 00:19:57,857
That I intend to live
on the Lord's shoulder

332
00:19:57,857 --> 00:19:59,541
for many, many, many moons.

333
00:20:03,242 --> 00:20:04,496
Hey everybody.

334
00:20:05,845 --> 00:20:08,147
You gonna go in the raw
because I'm just gonna

335
00:20:08,147 --> 00:20:09,491
sit these boxes on plates.

336
00:20:10,328 --> 00:20:13,552
You have a napkin tucked in front of you?

337
00:20:13,552 --> 00:20:14,894
Yes ma'am.

338
00:20:14,894 --> 00:20:16,766
I mean up in your chest.

339
00:20:16,766 --> 00:20:17,980
I'll put one up there.

340
00:20:17,980 --> 00:20:20,082
Just get the food on the table.

341
00:20:25,339 --> 00:20:26,916
This is the pixie.

342
00:20:26,916 --> 00:20:28,380
Listen little Willie.

343
00:20:28,380 --> 00:20:29,214
Little Willie don't worry

344
00:20:29,214 --> 00:20:30,459
about the mule going blind.

345
00:20:33,859 --> 00:20:35,962
I'm welcoming Keith boy.

346
00:20:37,006 --> 00:20:39,501
I'm so glad to have you here, baby.

347
00:20:39,501 --> 00:20:40,335
You see this Bible?

348
00:20:40,335 --> 00:20:41,300
You see this, mother?

349
00:20:41,300 --> 00:20:42,355
Yes.

350
00:20:42,355 --> 00:20:43,517
That's Keith's Bible

351
00:20:43,517 --> 00:20:44,516
I saw it yesterday.

352
00:20:44,516 --> 00:20:47,496
I said I
wonder if he gonna be.

353
00:20:47,496 --> 00:20:50,549
Mother thought that I
was gonna be a preacher.

354
00:20:50,549 --> 00:20:51,830
See that vision was wrong.

355
00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:52,963
That was the vision.

356
00:20:52,963 --> 00:20:53,796
That was Keith.

357
00:20:53,796 --> 00:20:54,630
That was the vision.

358
00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:56,460
That was Keith that was
gonna be the preacher.

359
00:20:56,460 --> 00:20:58,787
But some of the preachers they tell me

360
00:20:58,787 --> 00:21:00,189
called by the thunder.

361
00:21:00,189 --> 00:21:01,023
Wait a minute.

362
00:21:01,023 --> 00:21:02,689
He said he doesn't really know yet.

363
00:21:02,689 --> 00:21:03,523
Oh okay.

364
00:21:03,523 --> 00:21:08,528
When you're divinely
called, man, you'll go.

365
00:21:08,528 --> 00:21:09,381
You'll go.

366
00:21:09,381 --> 00:21:11,097
Can't nobody tell you not to,

367
00:21:12,001 --> 00:21:13,893
'cause you know grandma knows.

368
00:21:13,893 --> 00:21:16,155
You gonna study with God,
he'll go study with you.

369
00:21:16,155 --> 00:21:18,537
You know mother you gonna more,

370
00:21:18,537 --> 00:21:23,392
quite a few people who didn't
know about going study,

371
00:21:23,392 --> 00:21:25,874
but then when they found out about it,

372
00:21:25,874 --> 00:21:27,886
it made them even stronger.

373
00:21:27,886 --> 00:21:30,990
Keith is saying oh the
Lord hasn't called me yet.

374
00:21:30,990 --> 00:21:33,082
I don't really know but
what we're saying is--

375
00:21:33,082 --> 00:21:33,916
That's alright.

376
00:21:33,916 --> 00:21:34,749
Be a runner.

377
00:21:35,924 --> 00:21:37,299
Just like Jonah.

378
00:21:38,187 --> 00:21:39,831
Tell me 'bout this dress.

379
00:21:41,942 --> 00:21:44,623
I just love this dress.

380
00:21:44,623 --> 00:21:45,955
Do you really?

381
00:21:45,955 --> 00:21:47,622
I do.

382
00:21:47,622 --> 00:21:48,475
When you got out the car I thought--

383
00:21:48,475 --> 00:21:49,970
I didn't choose.

384
00:21:49,970 --> 00:21:52,721
Okay but I wanna tell
you that's a nice thing

385
00:21:52,721 --> 00:21:54,253
to change the subject on,

386
00:21:54,253 --> 00:21:56,805
but I wanna tell you this one thing.

387
00:21:56,805 --> 00:21:59,091
If the Lord called you to preach,

388
00:22:00,429 --> 00:22:04,813
Jonah was told to go to
Nineveh, a wicked city.

389
00:22:04,813 --> 00:22:06,198
That's a preacher.

390
00:22:07,176 --> 00:22:09,768
Jonah, you go down there and
preach the people down there

391
00:22:09,768 --> 00:22:11,700
and tell 'em what I said.

392
00:22:11,700 --> 00:22:12,881
See when you read your Bible,

393
00:22:12,881 --> 00:22:14,663
you know what you're talking about.

394
00:22:14,663 --> 00:22:15,574
This book tell you.

395
00:22:15,574 --> 00:22:19,528
Search the scripture for in them you sink.

396
00:22:19,528 --> 00:22:21,540
You have eternal life.

397
00:22:21,540 --> 00:22:24,390
Keith thing on being in the
belly of the whale, is he?

398
00:22:25,384 --> 00:22:28,256
Well he'll think he's
in the belly of the hell

399
00:22:28,256 --> 00:22:30,282
if you don't wanna do
what the Lord say do.

400
00:22:30,282 --> 00:22:32,234
I didn't say that he had to go.

401
00:22:32,234 --> 00:22:34,423
That he's got to do it or what,

402
00:22:34,423 --> 00:22:38,927
but if he is and he don't
do what thus say the Lord,

403
00:22:38,927 --> 00:22:40,579
I'm a living witness I'll
stand and look at you

404
00:22:40,579 --> 00:22:42,714
and say why didn't you obey God?

405
00:22:45,684 --> 00:22:49,298
Mama, not cutting you
off about the whale,

406
00:22:49,298 --> 00:22:53,075
but it's sweeter then but all of us

407
00:22:53,075 --> 00:22:55,804
ain't gonna be sweet like you.

408
00:22:55,804 --> 00:22:58,511
Mama, I'm not sweet like you,

409
00:22:58,511 --> 00:23:00,913
but I'm gonna get off that
track but I'ma get back on.

410
00:23:03,319 --> 00:23:06,925
The devil in order to get you to cease

411
00:23:06,925 --> 00:23:11,353
what you are doing for
God will use 1000 tricks.

412
00:23:12,424 --> 00:23:13,942
Oh yes he will.

413
00:23:13,942 --> 00:23:17,896
But you have to be
just as persistent as he

414
00:23:19,918 --> 00:23:22,124
if you're going to survive.

415
00:23:26,595 --> 00:23:30,374
But you got to tell the devil
you can tear my stocking.

416
00:23:30,374 --> 00:23:33,412
You can flatten my tire, I'll catch a cab.

417
00:23:33,412 --> 00:23:35,724
You can close the door the bathroom

418
00:23:35,724 --> 00:23:39,432
and I'll take a wash
up instead of a shower,

419
00:23:39,432 --> 00:23:41,434
but I'm going on anyhow.

420
00:23:43,512 --> 00:23:44,626
Bless the Lord.

421
00:23:45,569 --> 00:23:46,403
Thank you Jesus.

422
00:23:46,403 --> 00:23:48,727
Mother Smith had to sing

423
00:23:49,728 --> 00:23:51,993
when the children didn't have no food.

424
00:23:53,052 --> 00:23:56,164
She had to sacrifice her own personal life

425
00:23:56,164 --> 00:24:01,140
living for the master and
you see that's a great work.

426
00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:02,581
Oh yes it is.

427
00:24:02,581 --> 00:24:04,793
My brothers and sisters
when you like Mother Smith

428
00:24:04,793 --> 00:24:07,576
can give up and surrender to the Lord

429
00:24:08,497 --> 00:24:13,340
at the expense of the devil
and I know the devil was busy.

430
00:24:13,340 --> 00:24:16,065
Oh he closed doors in her face.

431
00:24:16,065 --> 00:24:19,401
Wouldn't let her sing that
bluesy stuff in the sanctuary.

432
00:24:20,279 --> 00:24:22,505
Preachers turned their backs on you,

433
00:24:22,505 --> 00:24:26,168
but that's what they do to you
when you're a child of God.

434
00:24:26,168 --> 00:24:27,526

Put you on top and come off the bottom.

505
00:28:15,934 --> 00:28:19,788
I started to work in blues
because they was something

506
00:28:19,788 --> 00:28:21,880
that the people loved.

507
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,504
Most of the people who took
that were not Christian people.

508
00:28:25,504 --> 00:28:27,809
And I was doing alright for myself.

509
00:28:29,267 --> 00:28:32,984
But the voice of God whispered.

510
00:28:34,312 --> 00:28:37,463
Says you need to change a little.

511
00:28:43,389 --> 00:28:45,704
Professor
Dorsey had something

512
00:28:45,704 --> 00:28:49,067
that he didn't know himself
just what to do with it.

513
00:28:49,067 --> 00:28:51,950
He just kept trying to find someone

514
00:28:51,950 --> 00:28:55,554
that would help him to put
off what was in his heart.

515
00:28:55,554 --> 00:29:00,308
That was Miss Sallie
Martin who sang his songs

516
00:29:00,308 --> 00:29:02,594
and acted like a business manager for him.

517
00:29:04,402 --> 00:29:06,904
♪ Jesus alone ♪

518
00:29:08,103 --> 00:29:09,347
Taught me.

519
00:29:09,347 --> 00:29:11,029
Sent me many places.

520
00:29:11,029 --> 00:29:13,054
He had the money and I had the singing.

521
00:29:15,247 --> 00:29:16,244
And she was a great singer.

522
00:29:16,244 --> 00:29:19,888
And then the folk would
come in buy sheet of music

523
00:29:19,888 --> 00:29:24,893
and he just he had a little
white bag in the drawer

524
00:29:25,073 --> 00:29:27,328
and he just dropped the dimes in there.

525
00:29:28,232 --> 00:29:30,499
So I could see he wasn't
keeping up with nothing.

526
00:29:30,499 --> 00:29:31,342
I said you got something here,

527
00:29:31,342 --> 00:29:33,612
but you just don't know
what to do with it.

528
00:29:33,612 --> 00:29:35,604
I addressed you to do it.

529
00:29:35,604 --> 00:29:37,426
And I took over.

530
00:29:37,426 --> 00:29:39,040
And he lives today on it.

531
00:29:41,970 --> 00:29:42,804
Thank you.

532
00:29:42,804 --> 00:29:44,295
I made it for him in 10 years.

533
00:29:45,824 --> 00:29:48,857
So it was
mine to travel around

534
00:29:48,857 --> 00:29:53,134
and wherever I go I'd carry
the music, sing the songs.

535
00:29:54,162 --> 00:29:57,996
Sell the music after the service was over

536
00:29:57,996 --> 00:30:02,212
and that's the way Mister
Dorsey's business was built.

537
00:30:02,212 --> 00:30:04,313

00:31:58,637 --> 00:31:59,941
Yes, that's soul, too.

564
00:32:02,460 --> 00:32:04,162
I wanna show you around, honey,

565
00:32:04,162 --> 00:32:06,893
'cause you haven't been
here in a long time.

566
00:32:06,893 --> 00:32:09,597
Haven't been here in a long, long time.

567
00:32:09,597 --> 00:32:10,430
How 'bout that?

568
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,435
Right down the block right over there.

569
00:32:15,493 --> 00:32:18,406
That's where I had the gospel
singers singing clinic.

570
00:32:18,406 --> 00:32:21,019
Is there where Professor Dorsey

571
00:32:21,019 --> 00:32:22,671
and all those guys used to?

572
00:32:22,671 --> 00:32:23,852
Professor Dorsey came.

573
00:32:23,852 --> 00:32:25,741
Many ways blocked.

574
00:32:25,741 --> 00:32:27,759
Now I think you remember that.

575
00:32:28,667 --> 00:32:31,763
We would analyze your voices
and see what you could do.

576
00:32:33,046 --> 00:32:36,684
Who gave you the
authority to analyze voices?

577
00:32:36,684 --> 00:32:37,936
The Lord.

578
00:32:37,936 --> 00:32:38,967
The Lord okay.

579
00:32:38,967 --> 00:32:41,129
Now you going up this way

580
00:32:41,129 --> 00:32:43,511
for no reason at all but down this way

581
00:32:43,511 --> 00:32:45,824
is where you should go
where there's information,

582
00:32:45,824 --> 00:32:47,385
so make a right turn.

583
00:32:47,385 --> 00:32:48,336
Okay.

584
00:32:48,336 --> 00:32:51,259
Now here
we coming to True Life.

585
00:32:51,259 --> 00:32:54,172
That's True Life right there
on that corner right there.

586
00:32:54,172 --> 00:32:55,076
You see?

587
00:32:55,076 --> 00:32:58,166
Where I first started my workout.

588
00:32:58,166 --> 00:32:59,567
Why did you
stop going to True Life?

589
00:32:59,567 --> 00:33:01,330
Well I stopped going to True Life

590
00:33:01,330 --> 00:33:04,653
'cause they didn't want women preaching.

591
00:33:04,653 --> 00:33:06,615
You know I kind of agree with that.

592
00:33:06,615 --> 00:33:07,448
You do?

593
00:33:07,448 --> 00:33:08,817
I agree with that wholeheartedly.

594
00:33:08,817 --> 00:33:10,378
Oh my God.

595
00:33:10,378 --> 00:33:12,633
You been brainwashed
and I like to help you.

596
00:33:12,633 --> 00:33:13,825
Well the Bible brainwashed me.

597
00:33:13,825 --> 00:33:16,014
Well you go and get the Bible.

598
00:33:16,014 --> 00:33:18,857
You see if God could make a jackass talk,

599
00:33:18,857 --> 00:33:20,749
how come he can't make a woman preach?

600
00:33:20,749 --> 00:33:24,295
Maybe he can but I really
have bad feelings on that.

601
00:33:24,295 --> 00:33:26,557
I don't agree with that because of what,

602
00:33:26,557 --> 00:33:30,388
that's not what I get out of the Bible

603
00:33:30,388 --> 00:33:32,831
as far as women you know in the pulpit.

604
00:33:32,831 --> 00:33:33,892
I just don't like it.

605
00:33:33,892 --> 00:33:35,446
I'm not too fond of it.

606
00:33:35,446 --> 00:33:40,338
And as a woman it's nice
enough to cook you food,

607
00:33:41,349 --> 00:33:43,902
make your beds, clean your house,

608
00:33:43,902 --> 00:33:45,797
care for your children and you,

609
00:33:46,675 --> 00:33:49,487
how come she can't take
the word and carry it?

610
00:33:49,487 --> 00:33:52,000
I'm not a chauvinist
or anything like that.

611
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,984
I just think women ought to
stay in their proper place.

612
00:33:55,984 --> 00:33:57,495
Well
what is a proper place?

613
00:33:57,495 --> 00:33:58,647
Behind the man.

614
00:33:58,647 --> 00:34:00,178
Oh dear.

615
00:34:00,178 --> 00:34:02,801
God did not take me out of the man's back.

616
00:34:02,801 --> 00:34:03,712
I tell you what.

617
00:34:03,712 --> 00:34:06,972
Why don't you tell me about
all these churches you sang at

618
00:34:06,972 --> 00:34:08,767
all these years ago and everything.

619
00:34:08,767 --> 00:34:09,715
I tell your pastor--

620
00:34:09,715 --> 00:34:11,890
'Cause I wanna respect my grandmother.

621
00:34:11,890 --> 00:34:13,401
I don't wanna make you mad.

622
00:34:13,401 --> 00:34:15,977
I didn't know you had
that type of feeling.

623
00:34:16,865 --> 00:34:18,326
Well I mean.

624
00:34:18,326 --> 00:34:19,357
I didn't.

625
00:34:19,357 --> 00:34:20,648
I really didn't know.

626
00:34:20,648 --> 00:34:21,990
It's no big thing.

627
00:34:21,990 --> 00:34:23,121
Don't get upset.

628
00:34:23,121 --> 00:34:24,325
I'm not upset.

629
00:34:25,593 --> 00:34:28,980
It is a problem some time
your family get on ya.

630
00:34:30,181 --> 00:34:32,681
You know just a lot of
jealousy in the family.

631
00:34:32,681 --> 00:34:36,554
It's not a poison jealousy
but jealousy's just jealousy.

632
00:34:36,554 --> 00:34:38,306
They don't want you to go.

633
00:34:38,306 --> 00:34:40,138
They kind of hang onto me.

634
00:34:40,138 --> 00:34:41,009
Oh yeah.

635
00:34:41,009 --> 00:34:43,681
You know moms I've got
to leave for Houston.

636
00:34:43,681 --> 00:34:45,343
I gotta go to New York.

637
00:34:45,343 --> 00:34:48,446
And they want me on
television in California

638
00:34:48,446 --> 00:34:50,558
and they don't want me to return home

639
00:34:50,558 --> 00:34:52,100
for at least a couple of weeks.

640
00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:54,973
I've never been away
from home for two weeks

641
00:34:54,973 --> 00:34:58,389
and it's causing a lot
of problems in my home.

642
00:34:59,417 --> 00:35:01,456
I don't know what to do.

643
00:35:01,456 --> 00:35:05,173
You know Zella it's hard
being a gospel singer.

644
00:35:05,173 --> 00:35:06,307
Having a career.

645
00:35:07,585 --> 00:35:12,210
I have been down to Union
Station getting on the train

646
00:35:13,722 --> 00:35:15,583
and look at my little kids.

647
00:35:15,583 --> 00:35:19,027
They'd be brought down
there because they know.

648
00:35:19,027 --> 00:35:20,722
Mama don't leave us.

649
00:35:25,984 --> 00:35:27,228
Well I'll see you later.

650
00:35:29,217 --> 00:35:32,640
I went to Springfield,
Missouri in a revival.

651
00:35:37,695 --> 00:35:38,529
I called home.

652
00:35:38,529 --> 00:35:39,848
I talked to my husband.

653
00:35:39,848 --> 00:35:41,289
He said you ought to
be ashamed of yourself.

654
00:35:41,289 --> 00:35:42,888
These little children are here

655
00:35:44,392 --> 00:35:46,504
and you're running around the town.

656
00:35:46,504 --> 00:35:47,819
What good are you doing?

657
00:35:48,927 --> 00:35:50,138
I told him on the phone.

658
00:35:50,138 --> 00:35:52,841
I said look I'm gon' leave
you in the hands of the Lord

659
00:35:52,841 --> 00:35:55,643
'cause I can't do nothing
about what I'm doing now.

660
00:35:55,643 --> 00:35:57,826
God has given me this work.

661
00:35:57,826 --> 00:36:01,192
He said if you're not on
that train Saturday morning,

662
00:36:02,315 --> 00:36:05,436
I bid you just stay there
'cause I'll be after ya,

663
00:36:09,767 --> 00:36:12,257
and that night I had to terrible time

664
00:36:12,257 --> 00:36:14,035
in the revival meeting.

665
00:36:15,959 --> 00:36:20,175
The man in there I said
is going back to Jesus.

666
00:36:20,175 --> 00:36:23,193
Honey he said he's gonna pat my hips

667
00:36:23,193 --> 00:36:25,798
and what made me start wearing robes.

668
00:36:25,798 --> 00:36:27,851
He like I like the way you built up.

669
00:36:27,851 --> 00:36:29,403
I'm gon' pat your hips.

670
00:36:29,403 --> 00:36:33,481
And I just kept singing to
that man going back to Jesus.

671
00:36:33,481 --> 00:36:35,043
I can hear my savior calling.

672
00:36:35,043 --> 00:36:36,534
Repentant tears are falling.

673
00:36:36,534 --> 00:36:39,440
And he looked at me like he was crazy.

674
00:36:40,475 --> 00:36:41,853
He turned his head sides.

675
00:36:42,730 --> 00:36:45,356
And after tears just fall down his cheeks.

676
00:36:46,915 --> 00:36:51,850
I got off the train Saturday morning.

677
00:36:51,850 --> 00:36:54,562
My husband was looking
up in one coach for me

678
00:36:54,562 --> 00:36:58,326
and the Lord made him know let her lone.

679
00:36:58,326 --> 00:37:01,269
He fell in the elevator shaft.

680
00:37:01,269 --> 00:37:02,280
He did?

681
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,753
Looking for me not paying
attention to this elevator

682
00:37:05,753 --> 00:37:08,269
that takes out the baggage
down in the basement.

683
00:37:09,127 --> 00:37:12,720
He was injured so bad he
couldn't get up after he sat down

684
00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:17,645
and that man stayed that
way 'bout eight years.

685
00:37:17,645 --> 00:37:18,897
Well he said he was through.

686
00:37:18,897 --> 00:37:20,551
He wasn't gon' bother me anymore.

687
00:37:22,220 --> 00:37:26,215
When you realize you're
not doing it just for Zella

688
00:37:26,215 --> 00:37:29,837
and get the children and
support of the children,

689
00:37:29,837 --> 00:37:33,791
and a husband, a family, and
all that out of your mind,

690
00:37:33,791 --> 00:37:36,844
and see souls out there that are drifting,

691
00:37:36,844 --> 00:37:38,836
and you throwing out a lifeline.

692
00:37:38,836 --> 00:37:42,190
And Zella just as true as
I'm talking to you today,

693
00:37:42,190 --> 00:37:45,723
God has a way for you to go and you can do

694
00:37:45,723 --> 00:37:49,007
what God wants you to do but you do it

695
00:37:49,908 --> 00:37:52,076

00:48:55,462 --> 00:48:57,254
I would like to just do the traditional

898
00:48:57,254 --> 00:49:00,147
and be able to come down the middle too

899
00:49:00,147 --> 00:49:02,930
with some contemporary and
you know bridge it together

900
00:49:02,930 --> 00:49:04,742
where you can reach you know both sides.

901
00:49:04,742 --> 00:49:06,864
If we gon' stay alive 'cause
you got this young crowd

902
00:49:06,864 --> 00:49:09,406
out here now you know and
a lot of the older folk

903
00:49:09,406 --> 00:49:12,549
that we were singing to 20 years ago,

904
00:49:12,549 --> 00:49:13,814
them gone home and sat down now,

905
00:49:13,814 --> 00:49:15,773
but you got to appeal to
the younger crowd out here.

906
00:49:15,773 --> 00:49:17,380
So I think you gotta have both of 'em.

907
00:49:17,380 --> 00:49:19,857
I think you gotta come down the middle.

908
00:49:19,857 --> 00:49:20,788
You gotta be able to do them both.

909
00:49:20,788 --> 00:49:22,079
We have a song out now that seems

910
00:49:22,079 --> 00:49:23,821
to appeal to the young people.

911
00:49:23,821 --> 00:49:25,876
I noticing last night
that they really like it.

912
00:49:25,876 --> 00:49:28,215
So it must be something in the song,

913
00:49:28,215 --> 00:49:29,707
in the beat of the song or something.

914
00:49:29,707 --> 00:49:30,540
It's the beat.

915
00:49:30,540 --> 00:49:32,359
The first you need to catch his ear.

916
00:49:32,359 --> 00:49:33,530
Once you catch his ear, hey.

917
00:49:33,530 --> 00:49:34,782
He'll stay right with it.

918
00:49:35,651 --> 00:49:36,573
You got him then.

919
00:49:36,573 --> 00:49:38,594
Now all of a sudden he's
listening to religious music.

920
00:49:38,594 --> 00:49:39,427
He didn't know that.

921
00:49:39,427 --> 00:49:41,318
You can see an artist like Mama

922
00:49:41,318 --> 00:49:43,490
whose been around for 60 years.

923
00:49:43,490 --> 00:49:46,293
If you notice that even
she and some of her music

924
00:49:46,293 --> 00:49:48,385
has changed a little bit over the years

925
00:49:48,385 --> 00:49:49,637
as she's come forward.

926
00:49:49,637 --> 00:49:52,179
She never reached commercial success

927
00:49:52,179 --> 00:49:54,602
like Rosetta Tharpe or Mahalia Jackson.

928
00:49:54,602 --> 00:49:56,467
She never reached the commercial.

929
00:49:56,467 --> 00:49:57,301
I still think like the right people--

930
00:49:57,301 --> 00:49:59,026
She never got the commercial success.

931
00:49:59,026 --> 00:49:59,877
Never heard her.

932
00:49:59,877 --> 00:50:03,000
Yeah but you got to understand
that my father was there

933
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,714
and my grandfather was a
tremendous influence over,

934
00:50:06,714 --> 00:50:11,248
so anything that even
remotely was connected

935
00:50:11,248 --> 00:50:14,481
to the world like commercialism,
it was tearing down.

936
00:50:14,481 --> 00:50:16,493
Her job was to preach the gospel.

937
00:50:16,493 --> 00:50:17,935
She was an evangelist.

938
00:50:17,935 --> 00:50:20,457
Music was the way she could do it.

939
00:50:20,457 --> 00:50:22,830
Contemporary, inspiration or whatever,

940
00:50:22,830 --> 00:50:24,441
that message got to be there in the days

941
00:50:24,441 --> 00:50:25,963
like we're living in now.

942
00:50:25,963 --> 00:50:27,264
The time like this is.

943
00:50:27,264 --> 00:50:28,676
That message.

944
00:50:28,676 --> 00:50:32,083

Delois'
husband is a minister

977
00:52:55,722 --> 00:52:59,459
of the Beersheba Baptist Church
on the southside of Chicago.

978
00:53:01,388 --> 00:53:04,818
He wants her to help him at the church

979
00:53:04,818 --> 00:53:07,437
and the church people wants her so bad.

980
00:53:08,455 --> 00:53:11,778
She works just as hard to a small audience

981
00:53:11,778 --> 00:53:15,132
as she would with her
sisters to a large audience,

982
00:53:15,132 --> 00:53:18,585
and sometimes I think
she goes a little further

983
00:53:18,585 --> 00:53:21,271
to get the spirit moving in that church.

984
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,601
The Lord is in this holy temple.

985
00:53:24,601 --> 00:53:26,513
All of us ought to keep silent

986
00:53:26,513 --> 00:53:27,985
and to be reverent in his presence.

987
00:53:27,985 --> 00:53:31,778
Let's go into his presence with praises

988
00:53:31,778 --> 00:53:35,305
and with thanksgiving and
give honor unto his holy name.

989
00:53:36,743 --> 00:53:38,471
Sister Campbell will be in charge.

990
00:53:38,471 --> 00:53:40,072
Praise the Lord.

991
00:53:40,072 --> 00:53:41,645
Good morning everybody.

Glad to be here this morning.

Let's say amen.

Let's say thank you Jesu.

Hallelujah.

996
00:53:49,838 --> 00:53:52,624
Where there's joy, there's peace.

997

We're blessed this morning.

998
00:54:00,240 --> 00:54:02,522
We've got shelter, clothing, and strength.

999
00:54:02,522 --> 00:54:03,485
We're blessed.

1000
00:54:03,485 --> 00:54:04,865

1024
00:55:13,030 --> 00:55:15,642
and just coming up here
is just doing it publicly.

1025
00:55:15,642 --> 00:55:20,647
You are saved already but for witnesses

1026
00:55:21,128 --> 00:55:25,502
and for verification could you
say, I believe in my heart.

1027
00:55:25,502 --> 00:55:26,823
I believe in my heart.

1028
00:55:26,823 --> 00:55:28,215
That Jesus Christ.

1029
00:55:28,215 --> 00:55:29,416

1030
00:55:29,416 --> 00:55:30,427
Is the son of God.

1031
00:55:30,427 --> 00:55:31,627
Is the son of God.

1032
00:55:31,627 --> 00:55:32,480
And he came.

1033
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:33,314
And he came.

1034
00:55:33,314 --> 00:55:34,278
And gave his life.

1035
00:55:34,278 --> 00:55:35,432
And gave his life.

1036
00:55:35,432 --> 00:55:36,483
And died for me.

1037
00:55:36,483 --> 00:55:37,317
And died for me.

1038
00:55:37,317 --> 00:55:38,762
That I might be saved.

1039
00:55:38,762 --> 00:55:39,596
That I might be saved.

1040
00:55:39,596 --> 00:55:41,468
And I confess it with my mouth.

1041
00:55:41,468 --> 00:55:42,678
I confess it with my mouth.

1042
00:55:57,005 --> 00:55:58,006
Thank you.

1043
00:55:59,323 --> 00:56:02,207
You're saved and there's rejoicing.

1044
00:56:02,207 --> 00:56:03,470
I am worthy of him.

1045
00:56:03,470 --> 00:56:06,493
Yes you're saved today
and you are a new person.

1046
00:56:06,493 --> 00:56:10,124
It is my job to feed
you and to nourish you

1047
00:56:10,124 --> 00:56:11,588

That's tomorrow.

1054
00:56:25,714 --> 00:56:29,066
No, I'm talking about
the trip to Europe?

1055
00:56:29,066 --> 00:56:30,903
Oh yes, we got the call.

1056
00:56:30,903 --> 00:56:32,759
We're supposed to leave
here November the fifth.

1057
00:56:32,759 --> 00:56:34,431
Maybe we can go a little earlier.

1058
00:56:34,431 --> 00:56:36,285
He wants us to come a little earlier.

1059
00:56:36,285 --> 00:56:37,934
Then how long will you be gone?

1060
00:56:37,934 --> 00:56:40,780
Possibly five or six days.

1061
00:56:42,059 --> 00:56:46,233
Yeah well but these trips
are getting longer and longer

1062
00:56:46,233 --> 00:56:49,256
and then you'll be gone
over Sunday, won't you?

1063
00:56:49,256 --> 00:56:50,481
Yeah, I'll be gon' back.

1064
00:56:50,481 --> 00:56:51,982
Maybe two Sundays.

1065
00:56:53,343 --> 00:56:55,882
Then it'll be
longer than five days.

1066
00:56:55,882 --> 00:56:57,194
You talking about two Sundays.

1067
00:56:57,194 --> 00:56:59,396
Well you know I'm talking
about the actual singing,

1068
00:56:59,396 --> 00:57:01,401
but I didn't include the traveling.

1069
00:57:03,230 --> 00:57:04,164
So I don't know.

1070
00:57:05,150 --> 00:57:08,285
You know it always is a
question about like the church.

1071
00:57:08,285 --> 00:57:12,779
You know like you directing the singing.

1072
00:57:12,779 --> 00:57:14,584
Sort of you know.

1073
00:57:15,754 --> 00:57:18,182
More or less kind of being the assistant

1074
00:57:18,182 --> 00:57:20,535
with me some of the time.

1075
00:57:20,535 --> 00:57:21,369
We'll be back.

1076
00:57:21,369 --> 00:57:22,339
I'll get the service ready.

1077
00:57:22,339 --> 00:57:23,670
I mean the songs ready.

1078
00:57:23,670 --> 00:57:25,352
I'll get the songs.

1079
00:57:25,352 --> 00:57:27,661
And then someone can just conduct them

1080
00:57:27,661 --> 00:57:29,836
and one Sunday I don't
think it'll be too bad.

1081
00:57:29,836 --> 00:57:31,706
I could get somebody else to do it.

1082
00:57:31,706 --> 00:57:32,540
It ain't that.

1083
00:57:32,540 --> 00:57:35,442
It's just that no one can
really take your place

1084
00:57:35,442 --> 00:57:37,784
with the ministry that you're doing.

1085
00:57:37,784 --> 00:57:41,318
Nobody else can really
do it like you do it

1086
00:57:42,817 --> 00:57:44,761
and I'll be glad when the time comes

1087
00:57:44,761 --> 00:57:49,636
that our ministry can be together
as a husband and wife team

1088
00:57:49,636 --> 00:57:53,853
more than you know you
and your sister team.

1089
00:58:00,996 --> 00:58:03,470
You want eggs with your sausage?

1090
00:58:03,470 --> 00:58:04,304
No, no.

1091
00:58:04,304 --> 00:58:05,144
I'll just take some toast.

1092
00:58:05,144 --> 00:58:05,977
Give me the bread.

1093
00:58:05,977 --> 00:58:06,811
I'll put that in.

1094
00:58:06,811 --> 00:58:08,110
I don't want none.

1095
00:58:08,110 --> 00:58:09,861
I'll get the bread.

1096
00:58:16,460 --> 00:58:21,465
You know Frank, this has been
my life dream to go abroad.

1097
00:58:21,918 --> 00:58:24,131
This has been from a
childhood day I dreamed

1098
00:58:24,131 --> 00:58:27,034
of being a great singer
and singing over in Europe

1099
00:58:27,034 --> 00:58:30,477
and now that the chance
has come to just stop

1100
00:58:30,477 --> 00:58:35,272
and you know and don't be
able to fulfill my dream

1101
00:58:35,272 --> 00:58:37,944
when it really coming into reality,

1102
00:58:37,944 --> 00:58:40,457
it would be quite a let down to me,

1103
00:58:40,457 --> 00:58:41,858
and maybe if I was going over there

1104
00:58:41,858 --> 00:58:43,190
and see what it's actually like,

1105
00:58:43,190 --> 00:58:45,472
then maybe I can really come into

1106
00:58:45,472 --> 00:58:49,419
what you really want me
to do in your ministry.

1107
00:58:50,777 --> 00:58:52,284
Am I getting this over to you?

1108
00:58:52,284 --> 00:58:53,701

Gospel music has become a business.

1164
01:02:59,109 --> 01:03:00,551
Now years ago you know it was different.

1165
01:03:00,551 --> 01:03:03,212
Gospel singers was evangelizing.

1166
01:03:06,198 --> 01:03:09,426
When I came up in gospel,
we didn't do concerts.

1167
01:03:09,426 --> 01:03:11,367
We did revivals.

1168
01:03:11,367 --> 01:03:14,411
We did the singing and we would
have a minister to come in

1169
01:03:14,411 --> 01:03:19,075
and give a sermonette and we
stayed in one church one week

1170
01:03:19,075 --> 01:03:21,768
and we would catch tremendous
crowds every night.

1171
01:03:21,768 --> 01:03:24,841
Years ago that was the big thing.

1172
01:03:24,841 --> 01:03:26,483
People being saved.

1173
01:03:26,483 --> 01:03:28,174
Well now we're living unfortunately,

1174
01:03:28,174 --> 01:03:31,340
we're living in a hit record society.

1175
01:03:32,767 --> 01:03:35,422
I think it's unfortunate for gospel music

1176
01:03:37,007 --> 01:03:38,875
'cause a lot of times we get
caught up on the hit record

1177
01:03:38,875 --> 01:03:41,608
and miss the substance.

1178
01:03:41,608 --> 01:03:43,810
Now that's why I like
them Baptist churches.

1179
01:03:46,282 --> 01:03:48,865
Sometimes you know it's
a little different.

1180
01:03:48,865 --> 01:03:51,558
We were at a Baptist church
Sunday in Saginaw, Michigan,

1181
01:03:51,558 --> 01:03:53,510
and you know get back on
some of that old stuff

1182
01:03:53,510 --> 01:03:56,382
and at the cross and
throw out the lifeline

1183
01:03:56,382 --> 01:03:57,754
and all that they know
what you talking 'bout,

1184
01:03:57,754 --> 01:03:58,885
but when you get up there on the stage

1185
01:03:58,885 --> 01:04:03,810
where you're competing with a
ticket price of $6, $8, $10,

1186
01:04:03,810 --> 01:04:05,693
then that's a performance.

1187
01:04:05,693 --> 01:04:07,343
Got to have a little showmanship in it.

1188
01:04:07,343 --> 01:04:10,184
Regretfully unfortunately
when you pay $8 for a ticket,

1189
01:04:10,184 --> 01:04:11,138
you come to be entertained.

1190
01:04:11,138 --> 01:04:11,988
That's basically now.

1191
01:04:11,988 --> 01:04:13,861
'Cause you worship in church right?

1192
01:04:13,861 --> 01:04:15,742
Yeah.

1193
01:04:15,742 --> 01:04:18,582
Yeah you worship in church so
that's not a worship service.

Well Mother had this program.

1264
01:07:22,298 --> 01:07:24,550
You know she was the first black

1265
01:07:24,550 --> 01:07:29,555
to have a gospel program
at Kiel Auditorium,

1266
01:07:30,386 --> 01:07:33,509
and it was called Bringing
the Nations Back to God.

1267
01:07:33,509 --> 01:07:35,251
In fact it was
the first gospel music

1268
01:07:35,251 --> 01:07:37,784
that was ever held in the auditorium.

1269
01:07:37,784 --> 01:07:40,857
She felt that she
could move out of the church

1270
01:07:40,857 --> 01:07:43,059
and come into a civic setting.

1271
01:07:43,059 --> 01:07:45,564
She said that her thing was
to take it out in the world,

1272
01:07:45,564 --> 01:07:47,523
preach the gospel to everybody.

1273
01:07:47,523 --> 01:07:50,727
That was a form of evangelizing for her.

1274
01:07:50,727 --> 01:07:52,679
But it was a swinging thing

1275
01:07:52,679 --> 01:07:54,440
because nobody else had ever done it.

1276
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:58,214
And by this time she
had national recognition.

1277
01:07:58,214 --> 01:08:01,027
So therefore when she got
ready to plan the program,

1278
01:08:01,027 --> 01:08:05,611
she could pull stars or
people who were renowned

1279
01:08:05,611 --> 01:08:07,123
in the field from every place

1280
01:08:07,123 --> 01:08:08,965
and they would respond to her.

1281
01:08:08,965 --> 01:08:10,609
Like Sister Rosetta Tharpe.

1282
01:08:11,788 --> 01:08:14,140
The Golden Gate Famous
Golden Gate Quartet.

1283
01:08:14,140 --> 01:08:15,301
You remember?

1284
01:08:15,301 --> 01:08:17,676
And Mahalia Jackson.

1285
01:08:18,556 --> 01:08:20,466
Thomas A. Dorsey.

1286
01:08:20,466 --> 01:08:21,523
Thomas A. Dorsey yeah.

1287
01:08:21,523 --> 01:08:23,269
I remember all the running
around they had to do.

1288
01:08:23,269 --> 01:08:25,471
Yeah the old man he was running around,

1289
01:08:25,471 --> 01:08:27,837
putting out ply cards and he was

1290
01:08:27,837 --> 01:08:29,989
a so called business manager.

1291
01:08:31,229 --> 01:08:32,580
That was one heck of a job,

1292
01:08:34,126 --> 01:08:36,302
but you know dad had big ideas anyway.

1293
01:08:36,302 --> 01:08:37,283
But he was always supportive

1294
01:08:37,283 --> 01:08:38,885
of anything she did.

1295
01:08:38,885 --> 01:08:41,087
But I think he
recognized her talent, too.

1296
01:08:41,087 --> 01:08:44,811
He recognized what she had to
offer way more than she did

1297
01:08:44,811 --> 01:08:47,073
because what she did she
just took it for granted

1298
01:08:47,073 --> 01:08:48,514
that that's the way it should be.

1299
01:08:48,514 --> 01:08:51,988
Dad used to even pantomime
the songs that she would sing.

1300
01:08:51,988 --> 01:08:53,293
You remember how he used to pat.

1301
01:08:53,293 --> 01:08:54,795
This one would go.

1302
01:08:56,210 --> 01:08:58,147
Yeah, he was the biggest
cheering section she had.

1303
01:08:58,147 --> 01:08:59,725
That's the way his feet would like

1304
01:08:59,725 --> 01:09:02,288
when he would be sitting there.

1305
01:09:02,288 --> 01:09:04,240
And he's always sit on the front.

1306
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:05,899
Always sit on the front.

1307
01:09:05,899 --> 01:09:09,111
And he would critique and then
he would be just as happy.

1308
01:09:09,111 --> 01:09:11,147
He had that happy expression look around

1309
01:09:11,147 --> 01:09:12,703
to see who was enjoying it.

1310
01:09:12,703 --> 01:09:14,696

Yeah.

1360
01:11:57,937 --> 01:12:02,034
But I know this place really
holds a lot of memories now.

1361
01:12:02,034 --> 01:12:03,284
I just remember when Mother used

1362
01:12:03,284 --> 01:12:05,011
to get off the train this big entourage

1363
01:12:05,011 --> 01:12:06,182
of folk coming off the train.

1364
01:12:06,182 --> 01:12:07,553
It was really something to see.

1365
01:12:07,553 --> 01:12:09,095
Always the last one off.

1366
01:12:09,095 --> 01:12:09,946
Always.

1367
01:12:09,946 --> 01:12:11,087
Yeah it's true.

1368
01:12:11,087 --> 01:12:13,369
What really
used to fascinate me

1369
01:12:13,369 --> 01:12:16,569
was the way the Pullman
Porters responded to mom

1370
01:12:16,569 --> 01:12:18,914
and daddy didn't do a lot of tipping

1371
01:12:18,914 --> 01:12:21,367
'cause you know there was
none for poor in those days.

1372
01:12:21,367 --> 01:12:24,490
They just knew him but they would just bow

1373
01:12:24,490 --> 01:12:26,922
and scrape to her and
she'd come strutting down

1374
01:12:26,922 --> 01:12:29,535
this place like a peacock.

1375
01:12:29,535 --> 01:12:31,097
They really thought
she was somebody close.

1376
01:12:31,097 --> 01:12:32,418
We did, too.

1377
01:12:32,418 --> 01:12:33,659
Took a lot of it for granted,

1378
01:12:33,659 --> 01:12:36,956
but you know looking back hot stuff,

1379
01:12:37,974 --> 01:12:40,579
and you know sometimes now people talk.

1380
01:12:41,567 --> 01:12:43,782
Willie Mae for who?

1381
01:12:43,782 --> 01:12:47,280
And it's hard for us to
imagine that nobody knows.

1382
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:49,095
You know, the kids now, you know.

1383
01:12:49,095 --> 01:12:51,457
They have no idea who she is.

1384
01:12:51,457 --> 01:12:55,298
Oh yeah I believe and
they scratch their head,

1385
01:12:55,298 --> 01:12:57,987
but she was Madam Willie Mae Ford Smith.

1386
01:13:00,101 --> 01:13:03,809
We think about where she
was and that she's older now

1387
01:13:03,809 --> 01:13:07,663
and how much it meant to
her then and Dad's gone

1388
01:13:07,663 --> 01:13:12,668
and all of those emotions
were so significant you know

1389
01:13:13,609 --> 01:13:15,661
and was such a big part of our lives.

1390
01:13:15,661 --> 01:13:17,280
We didn't think about it at the time.

1391
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:18,954
That's true but you know you think about

1392
01:13:18,954 --> 01:13:21,507
how happy he was every time she come in.

1393
01:13:21,507 --> 01:13:22,731
Every time yeah.

1394
01:13:24,577 --> 01:13:27,282
And it never did.

1395
01:13:27,282 --> 01:13:32,287
It never did affect us I think
because just talking about it

1396
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:36,011
and just being in this environment.

1397
01:13:36,011 --> 01:13:40,540
When we first started
driving in here, I got sad.

1398
01:13:40,540 --> 01:13:43,462
I really felt sad to
see that they caved too.

1399
01:13:45,651 --> 01:13:48,936
Think 'bout what it used
to be and what it is now.

1400
01:13:48,936 --> 01:13:51,097
Yeah you really don't.

1401
01:13:51,097 --> 01:13:52,498
How much it meant to her.

1402
01:13:52,498 --> 01:13:54,221
Yeah if you blot out your mind,

1403
01:13:54,221 --> 01:13:56,373
you don't think about it as it is,

1404
01:13:56,373 --> 01:13:58,394
but once you come down
here and put it altogether

1405
01:13:58,394 --> 01:14:00,008
into one package, Jesus.

1406
01:14:06,232 --> 01:14:08,454
I won't
be through with my work

1407
01:14:08,454 --> 01:14:11,090
until God takes my voice.

1408
01:14:12,638 --> 01:14:15,291
I may have cracks in my voice

1409
01:14:15,291 --> 01:14:19,555
as wide as the banks of
the Mississippi River,

1410
01:14:19,555 --> 01:14:22,151
but ole Mississippi keeps on flowing,

1411
01:14:23,139 --> 01:14:27,593
and I believe that that's the
way it is with Doctor Dorsey.

1412
01:14:27,593 --> 01:14:31,680
He's been very ill with two broken hips,

1413
01:14:32,838 --> 01:14:34,600
but he made us all look around

1414
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:38,364
and he said that old
coot can do a long time

1415
01:14:38,364 --> 01:14:41,290
and every time you'd see him,
he's jumping on that walker,

1416
01:14:42,148 --> 01:14:44,882
and I'm thanking the Lord for that.

1417
01:14:44,882 --> 01:14:47,583
And my daily prayer is for Mister Dorsey

1418
01:14:47,583 --> 01:14:49,808
to meet us in the next convention.

1419
01:14:55,050 --> 01:14:56,482
I hope he come.

1420
01:14:56,482 --> 01:14:57,456
I want him to come.

1421
01:14:58,624 --> 01:15:01,667

Oh you got all praying on ya.

1439
01:16:07,533 --> 01:16:10,916
Do you remember when you
came through Saint Louis

1440
01:16:10,916 --> 01:16:14,790
and we had a middle state
quartet convention going on?

1441
01:16:14,790 --> 01:16:16,442
You and Mister Frye?

1442
01:16:16,442 --> 01:16:21,447
You went back to Chicago and
you explained this gospel field

1443
01:16:21,547 --> 01:16:25,441
to Miss Bucks and Theodore Frye.

1444
01:16:25,441 --> 01:16:29,605
I remember well and Missus
Lucille Jones was in with it.

1445
01:16:29,605 --> 01:16:30,966
Do you remember?

1446
01:16:30,966 --> 01:16:32,698
Well Lucille Jones come after that

1447
01:16:32,698 --> 01:16:35,401
because it wasn't nobody
but Theodore Frye,

1448
01:16:35,401 --> 01:16:37,923
Magnolia Bucks and Mister Dorsey.

1449
01:16:37,923 --> 01:16:39,745
When Mister Dorsey they talked

1450
01:16:39,745 --> 01:16:43,121
and said I think we
could have a convention.

1451
01:16:43,121 --> 01:16:46,332
So when he come back to the office,

1452
01:16:46,332 --> 01:16:48,324
he said what you think about it?

1453
01:16:48,324 --> 01:16:49,858
I said I think it's alright.

1454
01:16:50,976 --> 01:16:55,851
And then he decided we were
gonna have it in Chicago in '33.

1455
01:16:55,851 --> 01:16:58,329
I know it was the root of it was

1456
01:16:58,329 --> 01:17:00,936
it sprouted from Saint Louis

1457
01:17:00,936 --> 01:17:04,099
for the middle state quartet convention

1458
01:17:04,099 --> 01:17:05,771
and I was president of it.

1459
01:17:05,771 --> 01:17:10,105
Mister Dorsey and Mister Frye got the idea

1460
01:17:10,105 --> 01:17:13,709
and went back to Chicago
and organized a convention

1461
01:17:13,709 --> 01:17:16,362
which was the proper thing to do.

1462
01:17:16,362 --> 01:17:19,114
So you see I know that happened.

1463
01:17:19,114 --> 01:17:19,985
That happened.

1464
01:17:19,985 --> 01:17:22,278
The man didn't ask for the idea.

1465
01:17:22,278 --> 01:17:24,323
He asked 'bout when did it start.

1466
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:27,192
He didn't ask for the who got the idea.

1467
01:17:29,260 --> 01:17:30,928
Well you know
it started, don't ya?

1468
01:17:30,928 --> 01:17:33,141
19 and 33 in Chicago.

1469
01:17:34,229 --> 01:17:35,761
Pilgrim Baptist Church.

1470
01:17:35,761 --> 01:17:38,113
Jesse Austin was the minister.

1471
01:17:38,113 --> 01:17:42,748
The convention was definitely
organized in Saint Louis

1472
01:17:44,019 --> 01:17:46,752
at Washington Tabernacle Baptist Church.

1473
01:17:46,752 --> 01:17:50,118
At back when you had the first meeting

1474
01:17:50,118 --> 01:17:51,887
that was in Chicago.

1475
01:17:51,887 --> 01:17:53,289
Right.

1476
01:17:53,289 --> 01:17:54,380
But we would gave out.

1477
01:17:54,380 --> 01:17:57,393
We had a few scattering
remarks in Chicago.

1478
01:17:57,393 --> 01:18:00,476
You had officers elected.

1479
01:18:00,476 --> 01:18:02,808
President, secretary.

1480
01:18:02,808 --> 01:18:05,008
And I wonder in Saint Louis,
I told him I didn't want

1481
01:18:05,008 --> 01:18:05,981
to be no more secretary.

1482
01:18:05,981 --> 01:18:09,224
And I don't get my
blood pressure up about it

1483
01:18:09,224 --> 01:18:11,647
and it's no use arguing the point.

1484
01:18:11,647 --> 01:18:12,868

draped the room in white

1496

concentration service.

1497
01:19:00,025 --> 01:19:00,969
