Gospel is just the truth of the word of God. Anybody can sing it, anybody; anybody can perform it.

The gospel needs to be preached all over the world. You cannot light a candle and put it under a roof.

I had been raised on country and western in Missouri. But gospel was great.

I was born in Alabama and my first live music experiences were in church. Every Sunday we watched regional gospel groups on television singing their hearts out.

I went back and researched the history of gospel; where it came from, slavery times, communicating with each other without their master knowing what they are saying, and that gospel artists view themselves differently.
