I was not fortunate enough to run into Obama. We were at the same church per se, but I would never be there when he was there.

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

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.

One day, when I was about eight years old, some kids pushed me on stage at school during a talent show because they knew I could sing.

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 just had a wonderful life, and I couldn't ask for anything else.

We stay strong. We stay positive, keep our heads up, love one another, spread love. The Devil can't win when you have God on your side.
