00:18:59,897 --> 00:19:01,723
it was sung by the Walker Sisters
358
00:19:01,774 --> 00:19:03,432
of Raleigh, North Carolina.
359
00:19:03,484 --> 00:19:04,768
If there was the right promoter
360
00:19:04,819 --> 00:19:06,059
or something down in this area,
361
00:19:06,069 --> 00:19:09,355
they would have been pushed
to the top a long time ago.
362
00:19:09,406 --> 00:19:14,119
Some people get breaks
and some people don't.
363
00:19:15,872 --> 00:19:19,406
Oh yes.
364
00:19:19,457 --> 00:19:23,578
Hi sugar, how you doing?
365
00:19:25,673 --> 00:19:27,998
All right, "Walk The Streets Of The City,"
366
00:19:28,049 --> 00:19:29,959
let's do one in G first.
367
00:19:30,010 --> 00:19:32,211
I thought I sung that in C because it was,
368
00:19:32,262 --> 00:19:34,631
you know, we had a little
conflict over that one.
369
00:19:34,682 --> 00:19:36,465
- We got-
- With this one?
370
00:19:37,935 --> 00:19:39,886
- Nope, sorry. Wrong key.
- Na-ah, that's not it.
371
00:19:39,937 --> 00:19:43,097
No, it's not.
372
00:19:43,148 --> 00:19:44,891
Gotcha!
- Is it G?
373
00:19:44,942 --> 00:19:46,183
Let's find out, what is it?
374
00:19:46,234 --> 00:19:47,602
Woo, hold tight.
375
00:19:47,653 --> 00:19:49,478
I told you to rest, easy does it.
376
00:19:49,530 --> 00:19:51,104
- Yeah, no, no, no.
- Yeah, listen to mama.
377
00:19:51,114 --> 00:19:53,576
We've been.
378
00:19:53,910 --> 00:19:54,860
When you continue to,
379
00:19:54,911 --> 00:19:57,486
you gotta breathe
everybody's got to breathe
380
00:19:57,538 --> 00:19:58,362
just a little bit.
381
00:19:58,413 --> 00:19:59,865
Yeah, yeah, you gotta breathe.
382
00:19:59,916 --> 00:20:01,448
Gotta catch their breath, that's the truth.
383
00:20:01,458 --> 00:20:02,366
Let me see,
384
00:20:02,417 --> 00:20:03,910
what key is that, G?
- What was the name
385
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:04,828
of the song you said?
386
00:20:04,879 --> 00:20:06,203
Oh, what I sung to you.
387
00:20:06,254 --> 00:20:07,288
Three years ago,
388
00:20:07,339 --> 00:20:09,498
I had problems with
circulation on my left leg.
389
00:20:09,550 --> 00:20:13,930
So I had to have it
amputated below the knee.
390
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:19,936

me to continue on.

We're gonna get the sounds just right.
430
00:22:38,448 --> 00:22:41,150
Make sure the volume, because, you know,
431
00:22:41,201 --> 00:22:42,401
when I sing, I sing loud.
432
00:22:42,452 --> 00:22:43,651

436
00:22:47,457 --> 00:22:49,199
we're making this because you sing loud.
437

That looks like when
y'all maybe first started.
444
00:23:07,644 --> 00:23:10,096
I don't even think.
- Yeah.
445
00:23:10,147 --> 00:23:13,850
Yeah, yeah, that's when we
were really getting down to it.
446
00:23:13,901 --> 00:23:14,975
And that was an anniversary.
447
00:23:14,985 --> 00:23:18,312
That was the first anniversary,
'cause we had corsages.

the first anniversary?

This one is the closest one.
452

524
00:27:10,012 --> 00:27:11,670

525
00:27:11,721 --> 00:27:15,725

cookbook on the market.

00:27:19,604 --> 00:27:21,731

533
00:27:42,378 --> 00:27:45,079
she owned a soul kitchen in Raleigh,
534
00:27:45,130 --> 00:27:47,290
called Mae's Country Kitchen.
535
00:27:50,718 --> 00:27:54,463
I cooked real meals.

00:27:54,514 --> 00:27:55,464
Not no sandwiches.
537
00:27:55,515 --> 00:27:56,965
I would go down there every day.
538
00:27:57,017 --> 00:27:59,344
I don't care if I was working in Cary.
539
00:27:59,395 --> 00:28:05,432
I would come back at 12 o'clock
and eat at Mae's Kitchen.
540
00:28:05,483 --> 00:28:06,725
I had the little booths
541
00:28:06,776 --> 00:28:08,394
up and down the side of this wall.
542
00:28:08,445 --> 00:28:12,231
I had the little barstools
and I could walk around
543
00:28:12,282 --> 00:28:13,565
and talk to each one of them.
544
00:28:13,616 --> 00:28:17,362
You see all kinds of people
there, all walks of life.
545
00:28:17,413 --> 00:28:22,408
Some of them half drunk, but
they would be there.
546
00:28:22,459 --> 00:28:24,035
I fed people.
547
00:28:24,086 --> 00:28:27,246
You don't know what they're dealing with.
548
00:28:27,297 --> 00:28:29,539
I talked their kinda language,
549
00:28:29,590 --> 00:28:35,129
something that they needed
to hear, no negative mess.
550
00:28:38,933 --> 00:28:41,718
She could handle a congregation
551
00:28:41,769 --> 00:28:45,972
of hundreds of people, all of
us hungry at the same time,
552
00:28:46,023 --> 00:28:48,809
all of us going into the fellowship hall
553
00:28:48,860 --> 00:28:50,436
at the same time,
554
00:28:50,487 --> 00:28:53,814
you knew that Mother Perry had put her love
555
00:28:53,865 --> 00:28:56,024
and her professional touch to it.
556
00:28:56,076 --> 00:28:57,901
If you didn't come back for the preaching,
557
00:28:57,952 --> 00:29:02,448
you sure came back for the food.
558
00:29:02,499 --> 00:29:05,410
She and her family share meals together
559
00:29:05,461 --> 00:29:06,701
several times a week, you know?
560
00:29:06,711 --> 00:29:10,331
And they are all grown and
married and have their own lives
561
00:29:10,382 --> 00:29:15,304
and careers, but they dine
together several nights a week.
562
00:29:16,637 --> 00:29:23,270
Their daddy started
it and if they weren't here,
563
00:29:23,686 --> 00:29:25,179
especially by this time,
564
00:29:25,230 --> 00:29:28,099
he'd be on the phone
calling every one of them.
565
00:29:28,150 --> 00:29:33,654
♪ Here we go again ♪
566
00:29:35,365 --> 00:29:36,690
He would look after those kids
567
00:29:36,741 --> 00:29:39,609
while I was gone and I stayed on the road.
568
00:29:39,660 --> 00:29:45,750
And he never ever said
to me that you can't go.
569
00:29:45,875 --> 00:29:50,797
He made it possible.
570
00:29:51,714 --> 00:29:53,374
Even though she traveled a lot,
571
00:29:53,425 --> 00:29:56,710
she'd let people know,
"I gotta get back home.
572
00:29:56,761 --> 00:29:59,297
I still am a wife and a mom."
573
00:29:59,348 --> 00:30:00,256
Sorry I'm late.
574
00:30:00,307 --> 00:30:01,382
You made it though.
575
00:30:01,433 --> 00:30:04,177
Well, he wanted to be sitting
at the end of that table,
576
00:30:04,228 --> 00:30:07,637
facing his children,
they laughing and talking
577
00:30:07,688 --> 00:30:08,473
and cutting up.
578
00:30:08,524 --> 00:30:11,235
Get a little bit of everything.
579
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,647
♪ Trying to get rid of all,
all my sins ♪
580
00:30:17,698 --> 00:30:18,857
Let's say a prayer.
581
00:30:18,908 --> 00:30:21,235
Dear Heavenly Father, we
thank you for this moment.
582
00:30:21,286 --> 00:30:23,237
We thank You for what we
have accomplished this day.
583
00:30:23,247 --> 00:30:27,073
We thank You for us being
a close, connected family.
584
00:30:27,124 --> 00:30:29,202
Thank you for being able to see my children
585
00:30:29,253 --> 00:30:30,786
about almost every day.
586
00:30:30,837 --> 00:30:33,705
Keep them safe if it is Your will.
587
00:30:33,756 --> 00:30:35,957
Now Lord, we are truly and thankful
588
00:30:36,008 --> 00:30:37,751
for what we are about to receive,
589
00:30:37,802 --> 00:30:41,214
for the nourishments of our
bodies for Christ sakes,
590
00:30:41,265 --> 00:30:43,267
amen.
- Amen.
591
00:30:43,975 --> 00:30:45,091
It wasn't too long, was it?
592
00:30:45,101 --> 00:30:46,009
It wasn't too long,
593
00:30:46,060 --> 00:30:47,844
we didn't have to get
the offering trays out
594
00:30:47,895 --> 00:30:50,096
it was good.
595
00:30:50,147 --> 00:30:51,890
Yeah.
- Regina has worked another,
596
00:30:51,941 --> 00:30:55,060
she could almost have ran
the restaurant for me.
597
00:30:55,111 --> 00:30:57,480
Y'all pretty well knew
what you're supposed to do.
598
00:30:57,531 --> 00:30:58,688
I knew how to clean the stove
599
00:30:58,698 --> 00:30:59,981
and I didn't wash many dishes.
600
00:31:00,032 --> 00:31:01,649
Sometimes I went back there to wash dishes
601
00:31:01,659 --> 00:31:05,070
just to get out of the front.
602
00:31:05,121 --> 00:31:06,197
Regina!
603
00:31:06,248 --> 00:31:08,156
Ain't nobody could be
in the kitchen but mama.
604
00:31:08,208 --> 00:31:10,116
And still can't go in there now.
605
00:31:10,167 --> 00:31:11,034
Can't go in there now.
606
00:31:11,085 --> 00:31:12,702
Don't put nothing in the sink.
607
00:31:12,753 --> 00:31:14,788
Can't wash dishes.
- Can't do nothing.
608
00:31:14,839 --> 00:31:18,459
Can't even walk in there.
609
00:31:18,510 --> 00:31:20,294
- Wilbur and Wilbur and-
- Wilbur was here,
610
00:31:20,345 --> 00:31:22,128
yeah, Wilbur.
- Wilbur was here,
611
00:31:22,179 --> 00:31:23,046
playing the piano, yeah.
612
00:31:23,097 --> 00:31:24,171
When you were a little boy
613
00:31:24,181 --> 00:31:26,048
and we had a piano in there.
- Just running in here
614
00:31:26,058 --> 00:31:26,925
with me all of the time.
615
00:31:26,976 --> 00:31:28,427
I didn't care what note y'all was on,
616
00:31:28,437 --> 00:31:31,096
I was just gonna run right in.
617
00:31:31,147 --> 00:31:33,599
When all of those kids was young,
618
00:31:33,650 --> 00:31:36,643
I taught them to love everybody
619
00:31:36,694 --> 00:31:37,768
because I knew that in this life
620
00:31:37,778 --> 00:31:39,938
there's a lot of things you got to confront
621
00:31:39,989 --> 00:31:41,188
and you got to have enough faith
622
00:31:41,198 --> 00:31:43,817
and you got to be able to
put enough trust in God
623
00:31:43,868 --> 00:31:48,457
that you can handle what
comes up against you.
624
00:31:53,503 --> 00:31:54,879
In 1997,
625
00:31:56,088 --> 00:32:00,469
I lost my oldest child, Kenny.
626
00:32:04,138 --> 00:32:06,340
He was a smart child.
627
00:32:06,391 --> 00:32:08,225
He was so sweet
628
00:32:09,394 --> 00:32:13,221
and he really loved karate.
629
00:32:13,273 --> 00:32:18,152
And right out of high
school, he went into service.
630
00:32:18,570 --> 00:32:20,271
He was overseas a whole lot.
631
00:32:20,322 --> 00:32:21,229
And when he come home,
632
00:32:21,281 --> 00:32:27,161
we would just be so
overwhelmed, there come my baby.
633
00:32:28,622 --> 00:32:32,824
When he was sick, when they
called me, I went to Germany.
634
00:32:32,875 --> 00:32:35,295
And I went to visit him.
635
00:32:35,379 --> 00:32:36,995
And they had this long board
636
00:32:37,046 --> 00:32:41,750
across there with different plugs in it.
637
00:32:41,801 --> 00:32:45,128
And my baby would have
638
00:32:45,179 --> 00:32:47,797
something in each every one of them plugs,
639
00:32:47,848 --> 00:32:49,592
trying to keep him.
640
00:32:49,643 --> 00:32:51,852
I never saw him move.
641
00:32:52,437 --> 00:32:54,981
I just sit there and watched.
642
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:08,869
There's nothing like losing a child.
643
00:33:10,330 --> 00:33:13,198
You can't help but think
about it and it hurts
644
00:33:13,249 --> 00:33:15,876
just like it happened yesterday.
645
00:33:18,714 --> 00:33:20,789
As we are born in the world,
646
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,166
we don't know how we gonna leave.
647
00:33:23,217 --> 00:33:30,057
And I didn't want to question
God, 'cause He's in control.
648
00:33:30,224 --> 00:33:35,220
And it seemed like when I
begin to like trust God,
649
00:33:35,271 --> 00:33:38,941
I got a little bit of more ease.
650
00:33:39,066 --> 00:33:42,903
I said, God, You handle this.
651
00:33:43,195 --> 00:33:45,939
I can't handle this.

- How are you, all right?
- Hello.
700
00:37:11,655 --> 00:37:14,397
- Hey, Miss Mae.
- Hello.
701
00:37:14,448 --> 00:37:15,481
- Hi.
- Look at you,
702
00:37:15,532 --> 00:37:17,483
ooh, that's beautiful.
703
00:37:17,534 --> 00:37:19,319
Hey sweetie.
- Morning, how are you?
704
00:37:19,370 --> 00:37:21,822
- I'm good, love you all.
- You look good.
705
00:37:21,873 --> 00:37:23,531
Hey, Deacon Exum.
- All right.
706
00:37:23,583 --> 00:37:25,784
Everybody loves Sister Perry.
707
00:37:25,835 --> 00:37:27,953
Bless your heart.
708
00:37:28,004 --> 00:37:28,829
Good to see you.
709
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,330
She's a God-fearing woman,
710
00:37:30,381 --> 00:37:32,917
you can look and count on her.

Hallelujah!

00:51:00,441 --> 00:51:04,977
Oh yes. I don't
know about that one, Lena.
963
00:51:05,028 --> 00:51:07,397
- Yeah.
- I love this one.
964
00:51:07,448 --> 00:51:10,650
- Yeah, the yellow.
- I love this color, yes.
965
00:51:10,701 --> 00:51:11,900
It's beautiful.
966
00:51:11,951 --> 00:51:14,654
So it's a hard choice.
967
00:51:14,705 --> 00:51:17,031
What would The Branchettes wear?
968
00:51:17,082 --> 00:51:21,869
You knew it was gonna
represent the glory of God.
969
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:23,829
Every woman was sitting there going, yes,
970
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:29,001
celebrate yourself by the
way you adorn yourself.
971
00:51:29,052 --> 00:51:30,420
They were ready now.
972
00:51:30,471 --> 00:51:33,798
I looked at my
closet, had just about forgotten
973
00:51:33,849 --> 00:51:36,216
that I had this one.
- It's gorgeous.
974
00:51:36,267 --> 00:51:39,554
And I said, oh my goodness,
975
00:51:39,605 --> 00:51:42,097
I'm gonna wear that dress today.
976
00:51:42,148 --> 00:51:45,267
I have put a whole lot
of prayer in this project.
977
00:51:45,318 --> 00:51:51,575
And one of the things that
would just thrill me so much,
978
00:51:51,826 --> 00:51:54,736
if in this service,
979
00:51:54,787 --> 00:51:56,696
with God being in charge,
980
00:51:56,747 --> 00:52:00,825
that somebody would just
stand up in that congregation
981
00:52:00,876 --> 00:52:06,172
and tell God, "Thank
you, I've been saved."
982
00:52:06,674 --> 00:52:08,123
People might not express it,
983
00:52:08,174 --> 00:52:11,753
but there's gonna be a
change in somebody's life.
984
00:52:11,804 --> 00:52:14,129
That's what I'm working for.
985

986

for all of them that come
out to do this for us

00:59:38,749 --> 00:59:43,328
for The Branchettes, and
I thank God for that.

We're still carrying the legacy on.
1104

I've come too far now to turn around.
1105
00:59:51,554 --> 00:59:53,880
Continue to give us that
strength that we need.
1106
00:59:53,932 --> 00:59:58,219
All our families, we need
You in a time just like this.
1107

All our friends, we need you too.

Now, God bless us.

We shall be blessed.
1111
01:00:08,155 --> 01:00:11,606
Reverend, will you please dismiss us?
1112
01:00:11,657 --> 01:00:12,691
God, our Father.
1113
01:00:12,742 --> 01:00:14,818
God, we thank You for
showing up and showing out.
1114
01:00:14,869 --> 01:00:17,113
God, we thank You for
allowing Your Holy Spirit
1115
01:00:17,164 --> 01:00:19,698
to rest, rule and abide in this place, God.
1116
01:00:19,749 --> 01:00:22,994
Now God, after every song and every prayer,
1117
01:00:23,045 --> 01:00:25,079
we've done all that was
asked for us to do God.
1118
01:00:25,130 --> 01:00:27,497
God, we ask that as we leave this place,
1119
01:00:27,548 --> 01:00:28,748
but not from Your presence,
1120
01:00:28,799 --> 01:00:30,834
that You take us over
the dangerous highways
1121
01:00:30,885 --> 01:00:33,254
and return us safely to our homes.
1122
01:00:33,305 --> 01:00:36,381
And God let us find everything that we left
1123
01:00:36,432 --> 01:00:38,883
better than it was, as we return, God.
1124
01:00:38,934 --> 01:00:43,388
Now watch over us and keep
us until we meet again.
1125
01:00:43,439 --> 01:00:45,975
And we all say, amen.
- Amen.

that have been doing

but the dedication is
something that we honor.
1142
01:01:40,163 --> 01:01:41,529
They're compelled.
1143
01:01:41,580 --> 01:01:44,491
It's down to their heels.
It's all through their bodies.
1144
01:01:44,542 --> 01:01:47,087
It's so much bigger than them.
1145

1150
01:02:11,694 --> 01:02:14,771
And I just feel good too.
1151
01:02:14,822 --> 01:02:20,953
Absolutely.
1152
01:02:30,338 --> 01:02:32,456
There's an old hymn that I love
1153
01:02:32,507 --> 01:02:34,916
called "A Satisfied Mind."
1154
01:02:34,967 --> 01:02:38,421
Every time I hear that song,
I think of Sister Perry.
1155
01:02:43,851 --> 01:02:45,802
I love people.
1156
01:02:45,853 --> 01:02:50,442
Because if I didn't love people,
1157
01:02:51,318 --> 01:02:56,563
all of my running would be in vain
1158
01:02:56,614 --> 01:02:59,658
and I don't want it to be in vain.
1159
01:03:01,453 --> 01:03:02,361
Her whole life,
1160
01:03:02,412 --> 01:03:07,574
she's strengthened the
ties between human beings.
1161
01:03:07,625 --> 01:03:09,118
They feel closer, they see each other
1162
01:03:09,169 --> 01:03:13,621
because of the vast amount
of love that is in her heart.
1163
01:03:13,672 --> 01:03:18,377
That's just an example
of what one person can do
1164
01:03:18,428 --> 01:03:20,171

01:03:20,222 --> 01:03:22,005
