00:12:36.545 --> 00:12:37.046
17 where music kind of got in my system. my siblings sang, and mike tait
00:12:37.112 --> 00:12:39.481
System. my siblings sang, and mike tait started singing later, but i was
00:12:39.548 --> 00:12:40.883
My siblings sang, and mike tait started singing later, but i was going into fashion designing and
00:12:40.950 --> 00:12:42.384
Started singing later, but i was going into fashion designing and cosmetology.
00:12:42.451 --> 00:12:43.085
Going into fashion designing and cosmetology. when i was put in this
00:12:43.152 --> 00:12:44.119
Cosmetology. when i was put in this christian school, i started
00:12:44.186 --> 00:12:45.621
When i was put in this christian school, i started singing in the choir, and they
00:12:45.688 --> 00:12:47.256
Christian school, i started singing in the choir, and they started entering me in
00:12:47.323 --> 00:12:48.057
Singing in the choir, and they started entering me in competitions, and one thing led
00:12:48.123 --> 00:12:49.458
Started entering me in competitions, and one thing led to another, but it really did
00:12:49.525 --> 00:12:51.427
Competitions, and one thing led to another, but it really did not become a ministry--i
00:12:51.493 --> 00:12:53.696
To another, but it really did not become a ministry--i was--until i was in college in
00:12:53.762 --> 00:12:54.897
Not become a ministry--i was--until i was in college in virginia, and i remember, i used
00:12:54.964 --> 00:12:59.368
Was--until i was in college in virginia, and i remember, i used to get up in concert--and to say
00:12:59.435 --> 00:13:00.970
Virginia, and i remember, i used to get up in concert--and to say this today is funny, because it
00:13:01.036 --> 00:13:02.504
To get up in concert--and to say this today is funny, because it was the most innocent thing i
00:13:02.571 --> 00:13:04.707
This today is funny, because it was the most innocent thing i think i could say.
00:13:04.773 --> 00:13:05.908
Was the most innocent thing i think i could say. i'd get up in concert, and i
00:13:05.975 --> 00:13:07.610
Think i could say. i'd get up in concert, and i would be singing, and i would
00:13:07.676 --> 00:13:08.611
I'd get up in concert, and i would be singing, and i would ask people at the end of the
00:13:08.677 --> 00:13:09.545
Would be singing, and i would ask people at the end of the concert, i said, "would you pray
00:13:09.612 --> 00:13:10.646
Ask people at the end of the concert, i said, "would you pray for me?"
00:13:10.713 --> 00:13:11.313
Concert, i said, "would you pray for me?" i said, "you know, one day, i
00:13:11.380 --> 00:13:12.348
For me?" i said, "you know, one day, i want to be the world's greatest
00:13:12.414 --> 00:13:13.215
I said, "you know, one day, i want to be the world's greatest gospel singer, and pray that god
00:13:13.282 --> 00:13:15.417
Want to be the world's greatest gospel singer, and pray that god has this happen" and all this.
00:13:15.484 --> 00:13:17.553
Gospel singer, and pray that god has this happen" and all this. and i remember one night, when i
00:13:17.620 --> 00:13:18.821
Has this happen" and all this. and i remember one night, when i went to pray, and i was in my
00:13:18.888 --> 00:13:20.756
And i remember one night, when i went to pray, and i was in my dorm room, and the lord just
00:13:20.823 --> 00:13:22.191
Went to pray, and i was in my dorm room, and the lord just sweetly spoke to my spirit and
00:13:22.258 --> 00:13:23.592
Dorm room, and the lord just sweetly spoke to my spirit and said, "it's not as important
00:13:23.659 --> 00:13:24.827
Sweetly spoke to my spirit and said, "it's not as important that you be the greatest gospel
00:13:24.894 --> 00:13:26.996
Said, "it's not as important that you be the greatest gospel singer as it is you have my
00:13:27.062 --> 00:13:29.398
That you be the greatest gospel singer as it is you have my anointing upon your life," and
00:13:29.465 --> 00:13:31.433
Singer as it is you have my anointing upon your life," and so from that day--1981 is when
00:13:31.500 --> 00:13:33.636
Anointing upon your life," and so from that day--1981 is when i officially started doing my
00:13:33.702 --> 00:13:34.670
So from that day--1981 is when i officially started doing my concerts in churches all over--
00:13:34.737 --> 00:13:36.272
I officially started doing my concerts in churches all over-- i have just been praying for

Concerts in churches all over-- i have just been praying for god's anointing.
00:13:38.173 --> 00:13:38.974
I have just been praying for god's anointing. so it doesn't matter what god
00:13:39.041 --> 00:13:40.209
God's anointing. so it doesn't matter what god wants to do with this voice or
00:13:40.276 --> 00:13:41.143
So it doesn't matter what god wants to do with this voice or with this person but that when i
00:13:41.210 --> 00:13:42.778
Wants to do with this voice or with this person but that when i sing, it's not "i'm just another
00:13:42.845 --> 00:13:44.380
With this person but that when i sing, it's not "i'm just another singer" but that yokes are
00:13:44.446 --> 00:13:46.015
Sing, it's not "i'm just another singer" but that yokes are broken, and burdens are lifted,

Whomever he needs to get you with in order to fulfill his will in your life," and it's

Like, the best cheerleader. i've had people that have supported me and all of those
00:14:12.441 --> 00:14:13.542
I've had people that have supported me and all of those things, and they're great, but
00:14:13.609 --> 00:14:15.177
Supported me and all of those things, and they're great, but for you to tell bill for year

Things, and they're great, but for you to tell bill for year after year after year, you know,

For you to tell bill for year after year after year, you know, about getting this kid--

After year after year, you know, about getting this kid-- and i remember, at a dove--one

And i remember, at a dove--one of the dove awards, after you had talked to bill for a long
00:14:22.718 --> 00:14:23.919
Of the dove awards, after you had talked to bill for a long time, bill was like, "well, come

Had talked to bill for a long time, bill was like, "well, come see me when you're in

Time, bill was like, "well, come see me when you're in indianapolis doing a project or

Always said, baby, if you don't mean it, don't sing it." and so i don't get up and play

Mean it, don't sing it." and so i don't get up and play church.
00:34:35.963 --> 00:34:36.764
And so i don't get up and play church. i like having fun, but it's a
00:34:36.831 --> 00:34:37.965
Church. i like having fun, but it's a very serious thing.
00:34:38.032 --> 00:34:39.100
I like having fun, but it's a very serious thing. >> tell us about your--your
00:34:39.167 --> 00:34:40.902
Very serious thing. >> tell us about your--your personal encounter with god.
00:34:40.968 --> 00:34:43.804

Personal encounter with god. when did it get personal for you?

You? >> my dad led me to the lord at 12.
00:34:48.509 --> 00:34:49.043
>> my dad led me to the lord at 12. i was 12, sitting at our kitchen
00:34:49.110 --> 00:34:50.645
12. i was 12, sitting at our kitchen table, and i've always said
00:34:50.711 --> 00:34:53.447
I was 12, sitting at our kitchen table, and i've always said about that time, "god was my
00:34:53.514 --> 00:34:55.416
Table, and i've always said about that time, "god was my savior, but he wasn't my lord."
00:34:55.483 --> 00:34:56.984
About that time, "god was my savior, but he wasn't my lord." i know the difference now, and
00:34:57.051 --> 00:34:59.086
Savior, but he wasn't my lord." i know the difference now, and it was kind of like fire
00:34:59.153 --> 00:35:00.922
I know the difference now, and it was kind of like fire insurance.
00:35:00.988 --> 00:35:01.422
It was kind of like fire insurance. i'm like, "i'm not going to
00:35:01.489 --> 00:35:02.190
Insurance. i'm like, "i'm not going to hell" or whatever, you know.

I'm like, "i'm not going to hell" or whatever, you know. i'm free, and it's going to be
00:35:03.457 --> 00:35:04.959
Hell" or whatever, you know. i'm free, and it's going to be good, but i didn't know what it
00:35:05.026 --> 00:35:07.094
I'm free, and it's going to be good, but i didn't know what it was like to really live a
00:35:07.161 --> 00:35:08.362
Good, but i didn't know what it was like to really live a committed life, and it wasn't
00:35:08.429 --> 00:35:09.530
Was like to really live a committed life, and it wasn't until i got put in a christian
00:35:09.597 --> 00:35:10.631
Committed life, and it wasn't until i got put in a christian school--i failed the ninth grade
00:35:10.698 --> 00:35:11.933
Until i got put in a christian school--i failed the ninth grade terribly bad, and that's because
00:35:11.999 --> 00:35:13.968
School--i failed the ninth grade terribly bad, and that's because i was--
00:35:14.035 --> 00:35:14.302
Terribly bad, and that's because i was-- >> that's hard to believe.
00:35:14.368 --> 00:35:15.836
I was-- >> that's hard to believe. >> yeah, i know, and i made
00:35:15.903 --> 00:35:16.737
>> that's hard to believe. >> yeah, i know, and i made straight "as" and "bs" through
00:35:16.804 --> 00:35:17.772
>> yeah, i know, and i made straight "as" and "bs" through the eighth grade, but i was put
00:35:17.838 --> 00:35:18.639
Straight "as" and "bs" through the eighth grade, but i was put in the school, duke ellington
00:35:18.706 --> 00:35:19.807
The eighth grade, but i was put in the school, duke ellington high school of the performing
00:35:19.874 --> 00:35:20.908
In the school, duke ellington high school of the performing arts for visual arts.
00:35:20.975 --> 00:35:22.643
High school of the performing arts for visual arts. my portfolio made it, and i was
00:35:22.710 --> 00:35:24.378
Arts for visual arts. my portfolio made it, and i was going to be this graphic
00:35:24.445 --> 00:35:25.213
My portfolio made it, and i was going to be this graphic designer and all this kind of
00:35:25.279 --> 00:35:26.614
Going to be this graphic designer and all this kind of stuff, and fashion designer,
00:35:26.681 --> 00:35:28.749
Designer and all this kind of stuff, and fashion designer, and--but i got with the wrong
00:35:28.816 --> 00:35:30.051
Stuff, and fashion designer, and--but i got with the wrong crowd, and my failure was just
00:35:30.117 --> 00:35:31.953
And--but i got with the wrong crowd, and my failure was just because i just decided i wasn't
00:35:32.019 --> 00:35:33.621
Crowd, and my failure was just because i just decided i wasn't going to do my work, and i
00:35:33.688 --> 00:35:35.356
Because i just decided i wasn't going to do my work, and i remember my dad, at that point,
00:35:35.423 --> 00:35:36.557
Going to do my work, and i remember my dad, at that point, and my mom deciding they weren't
00:35:36.624 --> 00:35:38.392
Remember my dad, at that point, and my mom deciding they weren't going to discipline me any way,
00:35:38.459 --> 00:35:40.061
And my mom deciding they weren't going to discipline me any way, shape, or form, because i had to
00:35:40.127 --> 00:35:41.062
Going to discipline me any way, shape, or form, because i had to go back to that eighth grade,
00:35:41.128 --> 00:35:42.463
Shape, or form, because i had to go back to that eighth grade, the school that i left, and sit
00:35:42.530 --> 00:35:43.831
Go back to that eighth grade, the school that i left, and sit in those desks that seemed like
00:35:43.898 --> 00:35:44.966
The school that i left, and sit in those desks that seemed like they had gotten smaller.
00:35:45.032 --> 00:35:45.933
In those desks that seemed like they had gotten smaller. it was quite humiliating, and
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:47.802
They had gotten smaller. it was quite humiliating, and put in a christian school, and
00:35:47.868 --> 00:35:49.870
It was quite humiliating, and put in a christian school, and as much as i tease them about
00:35:49.937 --> 00:35:51.105
Put in a christian school, and as much as i tease them about it, it was a predominately white
00:35:51.172 --> 00:35:53.007
As much as i tease them about it, it was a predominately white christian school, and you're
00:35:53.074 --> 00:35:54.175
It, it was a predominately white christian school, and you're coming straight out of the inner
00:35:54.242 --> 00:35:55.443
Christian school, and you're coming straight out of the inner city into a school with
00:35:55.509 --> 00:35:56.777
Coming straight out of the inner city into a school with predominately white kids--it was
00:35:56.844 --> 00:35:58.112
City into a school with predominately white kids--it was kind of weird at first, and my
00:35:58.179 --> 00:35:59.280
Predominately white kids--it was kind of weird at first, and my parents, though, taught us to
00:35:59.347 --> 00:36:01.349
Kind of weird at first, and my parents, though, taught us to love people.
00:36:01.415 --> 00:36:01.949
Parents, though, taught us to love people. they made no issues of color or
00:36:02.016 --> 00:36:03.317
Love people. they made no issues of color or skin or anything like that.
00:36:03.384 --> 00:36:04.418
They made no issues of color or skin or anything like that. so it wasn't really that hard to
00:36:04.485 --> 00:36:06.087
Skin or anything like that. so it wasn't really that hard to adjust, but being in that school
00:36:06.153 --> 00:36:07.588
So it wasn't really that hard to adjust, but being in that school and having bible and those kind
00:36:07.655 --> 00:36:09.123
Adjust, but being in that school and having bible and those kind of things all day has a way of
00:36:09.190 --> 00:36:11.559
And having bible and those kind of things all day has a way of working deeper into your
00:36:11.626 --> 00:36:13.961
Of things all day has a way of working deeper into your personal life, and at the age of
00:36:14.028 --> 00:36:15.363
Working deeper into your personal life, and at the age of 16, i heard a missionary from
00:36:15.429 --> 00:36:17.798
Personal life, and at the age of 16, i heard a missionary from venezuela speak, and i remember
00:36:17.865 --> 00:36:20.868
16, i heard a missionary from venezuela speak, and i remember being in a pew at a little
00:36:20.935 --> 00:36:21.969
Venezuela speak, and i remember being in a pew at a little church saying, "god, whatever
00:36:22.036 --> 00:36:24.372
Being in a pew at a little church saying, "god, whatever this means, i totally surrender
00:36:24.438 --> 00:36:26.340
Church saying, "god, whatever this means, i totally surrender my life to you, my will to you
00:36:26.407 --> 00:36:28.376
This means, i totally surrender my life to you, my will to you for full-time christian
00:36:28.442 --> 00:36:29.477
My life to you, my will to you for full-time christian service," and i thought i was
00:36:29.543 --> 00:36:30.278
For full-time christian service," and i thought i was going to be a missionary, like
00:36:30.344 --> 00:36:31.379
Service," and i thought i was going to be a missionary, like in africa somewhere, running
00:36:31.445 --> 00:36:32.747
Going to be a missionary, like in africa somewhere, running through the jungles and all
00:36:32.813 --> 00:36:33.748
In africa somewhere, running through the jungles and all that.
00:36:33.814 --> 00:36:34.148
Through the jungles and all that. didn't quite happen.
00:36:34.215 --> 00:36:34.749
That. didn't quite happen. and not that it can't, but, um--
00:36:34.815 --> 00:36:36.550
Didn't quite happen. and not that it can't, but, um-- >> i thought i was going to do
00:36:36.617 --> 00:36:37.918
And not that it can't, but, um-- >> i thought i was going to do that too.
00:36:37.985 --> 00:36:38.286
>> i thought i was going to do that too. >> [laughs]
00:36:38.352 --> 00:36:39.420
That too. >> [laughs] i think everybody--the way you
00:36:39.487 --> 00:36:40.288
>> [laughs] i think everybody--the way you just give it your all.
00:36:40.354 --> 00:36:41.322
I think everybody--the way you just give it your all. but at that point, gloria, god
00:36:41.389 --> 00:36:43.891
Just give it your all. but at that point, gloria, god just began to work in my
00:36:43.958 --> 00:36:45.126
But at that point, gloria, god just began to work in my personal life, and i've been
00:36:45.192 --> 00:36:46.193
Just began to work in my personal life, and i've been having my quiet time, and i
00:36:46.260 --> 00:36:47.662
Personal life, and i've been having my quiet time, and i read, and i pray, and i don't
00:36:47.728 --> 00:36:48.929
Having my quiet time, and i read, and i pray, and i don't say that in any bragging way,
00:36:48.996 --> 00:36:50.831
Read, and i pray, and i don't say that in any bragging way, but it's like we have to feed
00:36:50.898 --> 00:36:53.034
Say that in any bragging way, but it's like we have to feed our bodies every day, and i got
00:36:53.100 --> 00:36:54.201
But it's like we have to feed our bodies every day, and i got this from my dad.
00:36:54.268 --> 00:36:55.002
Our bodies every day, and i got this from my dad. i mean, he would be the--that
00:36:55.069 --> 00:36:56.904
This from my dad. i mean, he would be the--that midnight oil--burning that
00:36:56.971 --> 00:36:58.873
I mean, he would be the--that midnight oil--burning that midnight oil, just up, praying
00:36:58.939 --> 00:37:00.074
Midnight oil--burning that midnight oil, just up, praying and reading--almost, outside of

Midnight oil, just up, praying and reading--almost, outside of my mom, the last light going out
00:37:03.644 --> 00:37:05.513
And reading--almost, outside of my mom, the last light going out in the house in this room, this
00:37:05.579 --> 00:37:06.414
My mom, the last light going out in the house in this room, this little lamp by his bed.
00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:07.715
In the house in this room, this little lamp by his bed. he would say, "chub, baby, just

Little lamp by his bed. he would say, "chub, baby, just read the scriptures, chub.

He would say, "chub, baby, just read the scriptures, chub. this is your lifeline, baby."
00:37:11.018 --> 00:37:12.586
Read the scriptures, chub. this is your lifeline, baby." and he had a real raspy, funny

And he had a real raspy, funny voice, and so that stuck with me.
00:37:16.957 --> 00:37:17.525
I know if i'm going to feed this
00:37:17.591 --> 00:37:19.093
I know if i'm going to feed this flesh, i've got to feed my

00:50:06.927 --> 00:50:08.929
I never said anything to anybody about expenses, and the first day--i think it was, like, a
00:50:08.995 --> 00:50:10.697
About expenses, and the first day--i think it was, like, a two-year point i had been
00:50:10.764 --> 00:50:11.731
Day--i think it was, like, a two-year point i had been singing--john bonds in fairfax--

Two-year point i had been singing--john bonds in fairfax-- or, alexandria, virginia--

>> took up an offering for me, nearly two-hundred-something dollars, and it's funny.
00:50:18.205 --> 00:50:20.173
Nearly two-hundred-something dollars, and it's funny. i never made it a point up until
00:50:20.240 --> 00:50:21.441
Dollars, and it's funny. i never made it a point up until that time to say anything about
00:50:21.508 --> 00:50:22.709
I never made it a point up until that time to say anything about money.
00:50:22.776 --> 00:50:23.276
That time to say anything about money. from that day on, i always got
00:50:23.343 --> 00:50:24.578
Money. from that day on, i always got an offering.
00:50:24.644 --> 00:50:25.479

An offering. i always had--somebody always gave me something, and--but i

Gave me something, and--but i got things twisted up. i got a little bit ahead, and
00:50:29.649 --> 00:50:30.951
Got things twisted up. i got a little bit ahead, and money started kind of jumping
00:50:31.017 --> 00:50:32.085
I got a little bit ahead, and money started kind of jumping out there in front, and it was a
00:50:32.152 --> 00:50:33.587
Money started kind of jumping out there in front, and it was a defining moment.
00:50:33.653 --> 00:50:34.321
Out there in front, and it was a defining moment. i think i was in kansas city at
00:50:34.387 --> 00:50:35.455
Defining moment. i think i was in kansas city at the time.
00:50:35.522 --> 00:50:35.889
I think i was in kansas city at the time. it was, like, two, three years
00:50:35.956 --> 00:50:36.723
The time. it was, like, two, three years after i started singing.
00:50:36.790 --> 00:50:37.491
It was, like, two, three years after i started singing. the lord said, "this has got to
00:50:37.557 --> 00:50:38.758
After i started singing. the lord said, "this has got to be a ministry.
00:50:38.825 --> 00:50:39.726
The lord said, "this has got to be a ministry. it can't be about money.
00:50:39.793 --> 00:50:41.595
Be a ministry. it can't be about money. it's got to be a ministry," and
00:50:41.661 --> 00:50:43.430
It can't be about money. it's got to be a ministry," and the lord started over for me--on
00:50:43.497 --> 00:50:46.399
It's got to be a ministry," and the lord started over for me--on me, and i don't--i hope i
00:50:46.466 --> 00:50:48.401
The lord started over for me--on me, and i don't--i hope i haven't lost sight, but ever
00:50:48.468 --> 00:50:49.703
Me, and i don't--i hope i haven't lost sight, but ever since then, i've been trying to
00:50:49.769 --> 00:50:50.871
Haven't lost sight, but ever since then, i've been trying to keep my focus and just do it for
00:50:50.937 --> 00:50:53.640
Since then, i've been trying to keep my focus and just do it for the right reasons.
00:50:53.707 --> 00:50:54.341
Keep my focus and just do it for the right reasons. so that was a defining moment.
00:50:54.407 --> 00:50:55.375
The right reasons. so that was a defining moment. i would say probably '83, '84,
00:50:55.442 --> 00:50:56.810
So that was a defining moment. i would say probably '83, '84, where this is what i needed to
00:50:56.877 --> 00:50:58.311
I would say probably '83, '84, where this is what i needed to be doing my lifetime.
00:50:58.378 --> 00:50:59.479
Where this is what i needed to be doing my lifetime. if nobody paid me or not, i'd
00:50:59.546 --> 00:51:00.614
Be doing my lifetime. if nobody paid me or not, i'd still be singing.
00:51:00.680 --> 00:51:02.115
If nobody paid me or not, i'd still be singing. i'd still be writing songs,
00:51:02.182 --> 00:51:03.216
Still be singing. i'd still be writing songs, because this is what i'm called
