  • All those.
  • 00:05:55.678 --> 00:05:56.979
  • But i said, i want gloria, 'cause the conversations
  • 00:05:56.979 --> 00:05:59.982
  • We've had on the bus
  • 00:05:59.982 --> 00:06:02.418
  • And all through the years
  • 00:06:02.418 --> 00:06:03.920
  • And then driving home the other day,
  • 00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.255
  • The hour-long conversation i had with you
  • 00:06:06.255 --> 00:06:08.858
  • About your family coming to faith.
  • 00:06:08.858 --> 00:06:11.561
  • There's still so much i don't know about you too.
  • 00:06:11.561 --> 00:06:14.263
  • But this project is from an era of time in my life
  • 00:06:14.263 --> 00:06:20.369
  • Between 1980 and probably 1988.
  • 00:06:20.369 --> 00:06:27.076
  • Right when i joined y'all, i wrote all these songs.
  • 00:06:27.143 --> 00:06:30.213
  • And i was thinking today, i never dreamed in those years
  • 00:06:30.213 --> 00:06:34.851
  • That one day, i'd be sitting down
  • 00:06:34.851 --> 00:06:36.819
  • With the queen of lyrics in gospel music.
  • 00:06:36.819 --> 00:06:41.123
  • Don't give me that face.
  • 00:06:41.123 --> 00:06:43.292
  • I mean, who else is there?
  • 00:06:43.292 --> 00:06:45.061
  • I mean, in my lifetime--
  • 00:06:45.061 --> 00:06:46.362
  • - fanny crosby, i think, is a big--
  • 00:06:46.362 --> 00:06:48.331
  • You're ignoring a--[laughs] - oh, yes, of course.
  • 00:06:48.331 --> 00:06:50.299
  • I'm not leaving her out or dottie rambo or many others.
  • 00:06:50.299 --> 00:06:53.002
  • - yeah, there's lots of them.
  • 00:06:53.002 --> 00:06:54.036
  • - but in my lifetime,
  • 00:06:54.036 --> 00:06:56.672
  • I didn't know fanny crosby.
  • 00:06:56.672 --> 00:06:59.041
  • I know gloria gaither.
  • 00:06:59.041 --> 00:07:01.444
  • And one thing i love about you is,
  • 00:07:01.444 --> 00:07:03.813
  • You are madly in love with jesus, too,
  • 00:07:03.813 --> 00:07:07.650
  • And you love to talk about it.
  • 00:07:07.650 --> 00:07:09.118
  • - that's a favorite topic, yeah.
  • 00:07:09.118 --> 00:07:10.553
  • - i know, and i've learned so much about him from you.
  • 00:07:10.553 --> 00:07:13.489
  • And i want to thank you for that.
  • 00:07:13.489 --> 00:07:15.424
  • So this is a great honor for me today
  • 00:07:15.424 --> 00:07:18.961
  • To be interviewed by you.
  • 00:07:18.961 --> 00:07:21.264
  • Oh, lord, where is this going?
  • 00:07:21.264 --> 00:07:22.732
  • - this is sort of like coffee in the morning on the bus,
  • 00:07:22.732 --> 00:07:25.401
  • Except we're all dressed up and our hair is combed.
  • 00:07:25.401 --> 00:07:28.037
  • - yeah. [laughs]
  • 00:07:28.037 --> 00:07:29.972
  • - morning in the bus is like,
  • 00:07:29.972 --> 00:07:32.642
  • We both look like death warmed over
  • 00:07:32.642 --> 00:07:35.077
  • And we have three cups of coffee in a row.
  • 00:07:35.077 --> 00:07:38.180
  • - yeah, and have great conversations.
  • 00:07:38.180 --> 00:07:40.683
  • - i'm hooked up on something you just said.
  • 00:07:40.683 --> 00:07:43.553
  • You wrote these songs in this project
  • 00:07:43.553 --> 00:07:46.389
  • Pretty much in a clump?
  • 00:07:46.389 --> 00:07:49.025
  • - well, around 1980 when i graduated from college
  • 00:07:49.025 --> 00:07:52.562
  • And i was doing this full-time,
  • 00:07:52.562 --> 00:07:54.096
  • It was me alone in the car a lot.
  • 00:07:54.096 --> 00:07:57.266
  • And am and fm radio was all we had.
  • 00:07:57.266 --> 00:07:59.936
  • So it was a lot of silence.
  • 00:07:59.936 --> 00:08:01.470
  • I would just drive.
  • 00:08:01.470 --> 00:08:02.772
  • And i was wanting to write songs.
  • 00:08:02.772 --> 00:08:04.740
  • I just had a passion at that time
  • 00:08:04.740 --> 00:08:08.344
  • To be a songwriter.
  • 00:08:08.344 --> 00:08:10.212
  • You know, my goal back then, as far as career-wise,
  • 00:08:10.212 --> 00:08:15.551
  • Was to be a word recording artist.
  • 00:08:15.551 --> 00:08:17.753
  • And i thought, well, when i become a word recording artist,
  • 00:08:17.753 --> 00:08:20.189
  • I want to have some songs,
  • 00:08:20.189 --> 00:08:21.657
  • 'cause i want to be a word songwriter too.
  • 00:08:21.657 --> 00:08:24.060
  • That was the apex for me at that time.
  • 00:08:24.060 --> 00:08:26.262
  • You know, when you're getting started
  • 00:08:26.262 --> 00:08:28.130
  • And you see sandi patty up there on that record label
  • 00:08:28.130 --> 00:08:31.534
  • And this one on that record l--
  • 00:08:31.534 --> 00:08:33.135
  • You know, you want to be there, too, i guess.
  • 00:08:33.135 --> 00:08:36.105
  • And so i wanted to write songs.
  • 00:08:36.105 --> 00:08:39.508
  • And i thought of little things i thought
  • 00:08:39.508 --> 00:08:41.611
  • Would go good in songs,
  • 00:08:41.611 --> 00:08:42.878
  • Like he wants to spend eternity with me.
  • 00:08:42.878 --> 00:08:45.448
  • I mean, that thought alone.
  • 00:08:45.448 --> 00:08:48.250
  • Here's this god of all eternity past.
  • 00:08:48.250 --> 00:08:52.521
  • Where did he decide he needed me?
  • 00:08:52.521 --> 00:08:55.825
  • I don't know when that happened, but i'm not--
  • 00:08:55.825 --> 00:08:57.893
  • And when i say me, i mean all of us.

  • - yeah, i thought you had. - [laughs]
  • 00:12:33.075 --> 00:12:34.910
  • - but that brings a certain thing out of you,
  • 00:12:34.910 --> 00:12:37.680
  • And that is that you jump around.
  • 00:12:37.680 --> 00:12:40.916
  • You know, your brain jumps.
  • 00:12:40.916 --> 00:12:43.285

  • 00:12:48.157 --> 00:12:51.160

  • 00:12:51.160 --> 00:12:54.430
  • - it'll come back.
  • 00:12:54.430 --> 00:12:55.531

  • 00:12:55.531 --> 00:12:57.266
  • That you tend to pay attention in song bites.
  • 00:12:57.266 --> 00:13:03.839

  • Yeah, oh, let's talk about that.
  • 00:13:06.909 --> 00:13:08.844
  • - yeah.
  • 00:13:08.844 --> 00:13:09.945
  • - but when you write,
  • 00:13:09.945 --> 00:13:11.280
  • You also tend to write like that.
  • 00:13:11.280 --> 00:13:14.149
  • - in sound bites?
  • 00:13:14.149 --> 00:13:15.384
  • - you say sound bites that i can't forget.
  • 00:13:15.384 --> 00:13:18.587

  • 00:13:18.587 --> 00:13:20.556
  • That's a compliment.
  • 00:13:20.556 --> 00:13:21.891
  • - so for instance, let me give you a couple.
  • 00:13:21.891 --> 00:13:26.662
  • I love this line that came out of "rest in the arms of god":
  • 00:13:26.662 --> 00:13:32.635

  • Now, that sounds simplistic, but that really caught me.
  • 00:13:38.707 --> 00:13:42.177
  • It was like, you think you got to keep doing stuff...
  • 00:13:42.177 --> 00:13:45.648
  • - yeah.
  • 00:13:45.648 --> 00:13:47.016
  • - 'cause you're not getting the result that you want.
  • 00:13:47.016 --> 00:13:48.550
  • - and i'm not saying you shouldn't do stuff.
  • 00:13:48.550 --> 00:13:51.387
  • - no, but sometimes you're up against the wall
  • 00:13:51.387 --> 00:13:53.222
  • Of what you can do. - exactly.
  • 00:13:53.222 --> 00:13:54.657

  • 00:26:12.794 --> 00:26:14.229
  • There's a scripture that says, "and it came to pass."

  • - right.
  • 00:26:16.398 --> 00:26:17.532
  • - it doesn't say, "and it came to stay."
  • 00:26:17.532 --> 00:26:19.534

  • And they turn it on its ear.
  • 00:26:30.378 --> 00:26:32.347
  • - right.
  • 00:26:32.347 --> 00:26:33.682

  • - maybe.
  • 00:26:36.217 --> 00:26:37.786

  • 00:26:37.786 --> 00:26:39.754
  • - oh, well, she was always saying,
  • 00:26:39.754 --> 00:26:41.322
  • I can't wait till you kids are grown.
  • 00:26:41.322 --> 00:26:42.691
  • I think she regretted ever saying that.
  • 00:26:42.691 --> 00:26:45.360
  • I think a lot of young mothers might say that,
  • 00:26:45.360 --> 00:26:47.729
  • And then they think, oh, would i love to go back.
  • 00:26:47.729 --> 00:26:50.765
  • You know? - yeah.
  • 00:26:50.765 --> 00:26:52.434
  • I was behind a woman in the grocery line one day at kroger,
  • 00:26:52.434 --> 00:26:55.870

  • 00:26:55.870 --> 00:27:01.476

  • 00:27:06.581 --> 00:27:08.283
  • And he had mints and, you know, all kinds of stuff
  • 00:27:08.283 --> 00:27:11.119
  • That was displayed along the edge
  • 00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:13.888
  • Along the cash register.
  • 00:27:13.888 --> 00:27:15.990

  • And the banana peeling
  • 00:27:17.358 --> 00:27:18.526
  • Was hanging over the edge of the cart.
  • 00:27:18.526 --> 00:27:22.297
  • And i just was looking at him, and it's like,

  • He's an active little guy.
  • 00:27:24.566 --> 00:27:25.934
  • And she says, oh, i can't believe that six months ago,
  • 00:27:25.934 --> 00:27:29.771
  • I said i wished he could walk.
  • 00:27:29.771 --> 00:27:31.873

  • 00:32:18.259 --> 00:32:19.460
  • Because, you know, i think the music
  • 00:32:19.460 --> 00:32:22.497
  • Is just a vehicle for the message.
  • 00:32:22.497 --> 00:32:24.899
  • I'm prejudiced towards the lyric.
  • 00:32:24.899 --> 00:32:27.535
  • I mean, what makes a gospel song a gospel song?
  • 00:32:27.535 --> 00:32:30.304
  • It's not the melody.
  • 00:32:30.304 --> 00:32:32.240
  • There's not a saved a flat and a lost g.
  • 00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:35.643
  • It's the lyric that delivers the message,
  • 00:32:35.643 --> 00:32:40.548
  • But the melody delivers the lyric.
  • 00:32:40.548 --> 00:32:43.084
  • So it's hand in hand.
  • 00:32:43.084 --> 00:32:44.385
  • And i know i've watched, through the years,
  • 00:32:44.385 --> 00:32:46.521
  • Like, people like bill, michael english,
  • 00:32:46.521 --> 00:32:48.322
  • And musical-- real musical people.
  • 00:32:48.322 --> 00:32:51.292
  • They hear the music first.
  • 00:32:51.292 --> 00:32:54.095
  • Michael english definitely did.
  • 00:32:54.095 --> 00:32:55.396
  • I watched him. - mm-hmm.
  • 00:32:55.396 --> 00:32:56.731
  • - and then he would read the lyric.
  • 00:32:56.731 --> 00:32:59.100
  • And the music had to reach him before.
  • 00:32:59.100 --> 00:33:01.436
  • But, you know, you and i-- you and me--
  • 00:33:01.436 --> 00:33:03.805
  • Is it "you and i" or "you and me"?
  • 00:33:03.805 --> 00:33:05.173
  • - depends on where you're going with the sentence.
  • 00:33:05.173 --> 00:33:06.841
  • - you and i...
  • 00:33:06.841 --> 00:33:08.042
  • - that's good.
  • 00:33:08.042 --> 00:33:09.544
  • - always read the lyric first.
  • 00:33:09.544 --> 00:33:11.379
  • - yeah. - i mean--
  • 00:33:11.379 --> 00:33:12.947
  • - yeah, but, you know, the music is the cradle
  • 00:33:12.947 --> 00:33:17.985
  • That rocks that idea, and it has to fit the baby.
  • 00:33:17.985 --> 00:33:21.989
  • - oh, yes. oh, yes.
  • 00:33:21.989 --> 00:33:23.758
  • "mary, did you know?" i had it from '84 to '91.
  • 00:33:23.758 --> 00:33:26.828
  • And a lot of people wrote it.
  • 00:33:26.828 --> 00:33:27.962
  • - and didn't somebody write it before--
  • 00:33:27.962 --> 00:33:29.664
  • - babbie mason wrote a melody.
  • 00:33:29.664 --> 00:33:32.967
  • Others attempted.
  • 00:33:32.967 --> 00:33:34.836
  • I offered it to bill.
  • 00:33:34.836 --> 00:33:36.237
  • He wasn't interested.
  • 00:33:36.237 --> 00:33:38.139
  • [laughter]
  • 00:33:38.139 --> 00:33:40.341
  • And buddy greene.
  • 00:33:40.341 --> 00:33:42.176
  • You know, thank god i waited,
  • 00:33:42.176 --> 00:33:44.445
  • Because i think that melody is a "greensleeves."
  • 00:33:44.445 --> 00:33:49.183
  • - it's amazing.
  • 00:33:49.183 --> 00:33:50.651
  • - i think it's perfect for that.
  • 00:33:50.651 --> 00:33:52.086
  • - and he's got his story about that music too.
  • 00:33:52.086 --> 00:33:54.188
  • - he does?
  • 00:33:54.188 --> 00:33:55.389
  • - that he was, i think, listening
  • 00:33:55.389 --> 00:33:57.725
  • To some early american--
  • 00:33:57.725 --> 00:34:00.528
  • - well, i remember now.
  • 00:34:00.528 --> 00:34:02.163
  • And christmas songs in the minor key is what he said.
  • 00:34:02.163 --> 00:34:05.766

  • He was doing all the ones in the minor key,

  • And so he was set up.
  • 00:34:13.474 --> 00:34:15.376
  • - mark lowry has always been one of our favorite people.
  • 00:34:15.376 --> 00:34:19.147
  • Love mark lowry.
  • 00:34:19.147 --> 00:34:21.549
  • He is such a great man.
  • 00:34:21.549 --> 00:34:23.851
  • And i was blessed to produce his latest project.
  • 00:34:23.851 --> 00:34:28.890
  • And he did all new songs that he had written.
  • 00:34:28.890 --> 00:34:33.561

  • "mary, did you know?" on there,
  • 00:34:36.063 --> 00:34:37.431
  • And let's just do it a little bit different style.
  • 00:34:37.431 --> 00:34:39.200
  • And the style of this "mary, did you know?"
  • 00:34:39.200 --> 00:34:42.003
  • Is so organic and pure
  • 00:34:42.003 --> 00:34:46.440
  • That i thought, let's just-- let me call the family.
  • 00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:49.911

  • 00:34:49.911 --> 00:34:51.112
  • Would you be ok to have the isaacs?
  • 00:34:51.112 --> 00:34:53.981
  • And he said, everybody but becky.
  • 00:34:53.981 --> 00:34:56.717
  • [laughter] no, i'm just kidding.
  • 00:34:56.717 --> 00:34:58.085
  • - he did not.
  • 00:34:58.085 --> 00:34:59.120
  • - i'm his favorite. - you are.
  • 00:34:59.120 --> 00:35:00.855
  • But he said, oh, man, i love the idea of that.
  • 00:35:00.855 --> 00:35:03.524
  • And with our style and who we are,
  • 00:35:03.524 --> 00:35:06.861
  • Being able to add to mark's
  • 00:35:06.861 --> 00:35:10.164
  • Just pureness and his wonderful singing,
  • 00:35:10.164 --> 00:35:13.100
