"You'll never get nowhere smokin' the pipe!"

James Salton of Prayer House of Deliverance
Local Memphis Commercial for Up From the World on WLMT UPN 30.
This commercial played for years and was famous among locals.

"Get dope out your vein
and hope in your brain.
You'll never get nowhere
smokin' the pipe.
Never.
You wanna get your lesson out
and wanna be smart in school?
Get rid of the drugs.
Get away from the in crowd.
Get'a close to God."

@ANewEraRecords He was doing these commercials in the late 80's. Around 88 or 89.

[nsureuhamilton]

@CRobertGray Yes, not in the same area though. Salton is toward the back, Bishop Patterson (G.E. & J.O. Sr. & Jr.) are buried across from the Grotto, Isaac Hayes & N.J. Ford are in this section as well.

[nsureuhamilton]

He's buried in Memorial Park Funeral Home and Cemetery in Memphis, TN., and I saw his grave marker, you'll never guess what they put on it...this very saying he does on this video!!!! Don't believe me, check for yourself.
