Nothing less can be said about Rev. Charles Nicks. What a great virtuoso and a class man he was. He tore up the GMWA conventions a few nights just by walking near the organ lol.

whenever Rev. Nicks would walk into the National Baptist Convention whomever was on the organ would stop playing and get up so Rev. Nicks could plat the organ. God bless his legacy. PRECIOUS MEMORIES HOW THEY LINGER

I'm a lifelong Detroiter and so is my husband, who's a Presbyterian minister. If I had known all this was going on over at St. James and known where it was my life might be very different today, because I would've joined your church and choir and majored in music instead of engineering. St. James Church is one of God's gifts to Detroit. May God bless you and the congregation. Thank you for posting these treasures.
