“When I start to think about all the things, I'm doing sometimes I just have to thank the man upstairs. Because I'm doing the morning show here in Chicago 5 days a week, and I have the syndicated radio show that's been going on now for several years.

“Everything comes from one thing, everything comes from the Spirit. Jazz would not exist had it not been for gospel music, the blues would not exist had it not been for spiritual blues, which goes back to slave songs our fore fathers were singing while they were out in the field.

But the stimulus is One Voice.” PeopleWorldSpiritualSpiritSongCultureCoursesFatherGrowthVoiceOne ThingGroupsFieldsColorSingingJazzSlaveVariousAround The WorldStimulusGospel MusicContinuous Growth Author:Ramsey Lewis
