My purpose: to lift your spirit and to motivate you.

I'm so blessed that I can still be here to bring the music and have new generations of fans. My Pops would be so proud.

We enjoyed the fact that we were called to the folk festivals and we got to know Joan Baez, Dylan. We were singing strictly gospel, but then after we started hearing songs that they would sing, we saw that those songs were very fitting for us because they were singing the truth, and truth is gospel.

I'm just singing what I feel in my heart.

There is a great feeling in a small venue, with the closeness of the people and the intimacy.

I never sang for a Grammy, for money, for fame. That's my whole purpose for singing: for people, for the fans.

The Devil is a liar. He cannot win. And that's all we're seeing is a bunch of devils [Donald Trump]. So we have to pray and just look out for one another. Keep your chest out, stick your head up and walk tall.
