Always have loved Bishop Robinson!!! I didn't know about him until later in my childhood, I bought "Keep The Faith" and had wondered why I hadn't heard of him or his church.. But you know when you are in CA you're kinda late with a lot of stuff! LOL

I was there the day this was recorded and I'm still there.

[chordson]

Also on drums was Danny James. This was the first live recording in the Cathedral.

[chordson]

The musicians at5 that time were Michael Powell on piano, Brad Pope on organ, the late Anthony Williams on organ, Dennis Wilson on drums. Brad Pope played the organ on this song. He has been the organist at Zion Cathedral COGIC in Freeport, NY for nearly 30 years. Bishop Robinson was his first musical mentor, followed by Dr. Frank Anthone White, who is now his pastor along with his father, senior pastor Bishop Frank O. White.
