  • - yes, sir. - have to.
  • 00:04:47.166 --> 00:04:48.634

  • But that--the whole homecoming bunch,
  • 00:04:57.643 --> 00:05:00.646

  • Seeing us sing around the house all the time.
  • 00:05:08.254 --> 00:05:10.256
  • Our mom did.
  • 00:05:10.256 --> 00:05:11.257
  • Our mom sang around the house.
  • 00:05:11.257 --> 00:05:12.792
  • She still sings around the house,
  • 00:05:12.792 --> 00:05:14.560
  • But i catch myself singing.
  • 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.529
  • - and for you, you have a real treat
  • 00:05:16.529 --> 00:05:19.732
  • Because when you talk about singers--
  • 00:05:19.732 --> 00:05:23.302
  • And i'm not just saying this because you're sitting there.
  • 00:05:23.302 --> 00:05:26.139
  • How many times have--
  • 00:05:26.139 --> 00:05:28.274
  • When you're on our programs, on the cruises,
  • 00:05:28.274 --> 00:05:31.511
  • On the family of the past, people come up and say,
  • 00:05:31.511 --> 00:05:34.280
  • Those kids are--
  • 00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:35.481

  • - almost. it's 33 years, i think.
  • 00:05:52.698 --> 00:05:54.700
  • It was '92, if i'm not mistaken.
  • 00:05:54.700 --> 00:05:57.937
  • - in this very room.
  • 00:05:57.937 --> 00:05:59.238
  • And i can remember the song, "he leadeth me."
  • 00:05:59.238 --> 00:06:01.707

  • Everybody was looking at each other.
  • 00:06:16.522 --> 00:06:18.090
  • Singers know good singers.
  • 00:06:18.090 --> 00:06:19.926
  • And they said, and these kids are--
  • 00:06:19.926 --> 00:06:21.761
  • I don't know how young you were then,
  • 00:06:21.761 --> 00:06:23.729
  • But, boy, you were good.
  • 00:06:23.729 --> 00:06:24.897
  • - well, we were younger than we are now.
  • 00:06:24.897 --> 00:06:26.232
  • - definitely.
  • 00:06:26.232 --> 00:06:27.233
  • [laughter]
  • 00:06:27.233 --> 00:06:28.434
  • Well, in our early 20s, yep.
  • 00:06:28.434 --> 00:06:29.836
  • - i can't tell you how--
  • 00:06:29.836 --> 00:06:31.504
  • How much i've been looking to this because,
  • 00:06:31.504 --> 00:06:35.341
  • Personally, you know my admiration for you
  • 00:06:35.341 --> 00:06:37.643
  • And what you do.
  • 00:06:37.643 --> 00:06:38.778
  • And you probably have traveled with us
  • 00:06:38.778 --> 00:06:40.680
  • More than any other group out there
  • 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.381
  • For any long period of time.
  • 00:06:42.381 --> 00:06:43.382
  • - wow.
  • 00:06:43.382 --> 00:06:44.617
  • - i can't think of any other group who's
  • 00:06:44.617 --> 00:06:46.152
  • Been around and on the road with us, done cruises with us,
  • 00:06:46.152 --> 00:06:50.189
  • Family fest, all the kind of conventions.
  • 00:06:50.189 --> 00:06:53.426
  • And you're always a delight.
  • 00:06:53.426 --> 00:06:54.760
  • It's so--it's just a joy to have you here today.
  • 00:06:54.760 --> 00:06:57.063
  • - thank you. - thank you so much.
  • 00:06:57.063 --> 00:06:58.364
  • - it's going to be good.
  • 00:06:58.364 --> 00:06:59.765
  • And today, you are singing songs
  • 00:06:59.765 --> 00:07:02.201
  • Written by two old people.
  • 00:07:02.201 --> 00:07:04.804
  • - oh. [chuckling]
  • 00:07:04.804 --> 00:07:06.539
  • - i never--the kid who said, bill gaither,
  • 00:07:06.539 --> 00:07:08.875
  • Are you still alive?
  • 00:07:08.875 --> 00:07:10.276
  • [laughter]
  • 00:07:10.276 --> 00:07:11.410
  • - that's right.
  • 00:07:11.410 --> 00:07:12.912
  • - well, if he knew you, he would know you are very alive.
  • 00:07:12.912 --> 00:07:15.314
  • [laughter]
  • 00:07:15.314 --> 00:07:16.949
  • - and--and so somehow, you went in and chose
  • 00:07:16.949 --> 00:07:19.819
  • 10 or 11 or 12 tunes.
  • 00:07:19.819 --> 00:07:21.487
  • - it was hard.
  • 00:07:21.487 --> 00:07:22.688
  • - it was very-- it was hard to choose.
  • 00:07:22.688 --> 00:07:24.957
  • We literally-- i mean, i don't know.
  • 00:07:24.957 --> 00:07:26.459
  • We sat in matthew's office and listened to a lot of songs.
  • 00:07:26.459 --> 00:07:30.630
  • We read a lot of, you know, titles.
  • 00:07:30.630 --> 00:07:33.065
  • And then we couldn't decide.
  • 00:07:33.065 --> 00:07:34.634
  • And so we would listen down.
  • 00:07:34.634 --> 00:07:36.469
  • We would youtube you and the vocal band,
  • 00:07:36.469 --> 00:07:39.105
  • And we would listen to sometimes different versions
  • 00:07:39.105 --> 00:07:41.741
  • Because we've had so many versions
  • 00:07:41.741 --> 00:07:43.142
  • Of the vocal band and the trio.
  • 00:07:43.142 --> 00:07:45.011
  • And those songs have been done and redone.
  • 00:07:45.011 --> 00:07:47.046
  • And so we would listen to several versions of those songs
  • 00:07:47.046 --> 00:07:50.049
  • Before we could make our decision, yeah.
  • 00:07:50.049 --> 00:07:52.552
  • - we wrote this next song from a response
  • 00:07:52.552 --> 00:07:56.088
  • At a concert when the crowd-- we were in new jersey.
  • 00:07:56.088 --> 00:07:59.792
  • And we hadn't been up there much,
  • 00:07:59.792 --> 00:08:01.160
  • And it was really an ethnic mix of people.
  • 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.596
  • - okay.
  • 00:08:03.596 --> 00:08:04.997
  • - they were whistling and yelling and screaming.
  • 00:08:04.997 --> 00:08:07.433
  • And we thought, should this be right, you know?
  • 00:08:07.433 --> 00:08:12.471
  • So on the-- on the bus, we said,
  • 00:08:12.471 --> 00:08:16.008
  • We need a song that can respond to when
  • 00:08:16.008 --> 00:08:18.911
  • People think you're great.
  • 00:08:18.911 --> 00:08:20.012
  • And there's nothing wrong with that.
  • 00:08:20.012 --> 00:08:21.280
  • That's part of it. - sure.
  • 00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:22.748
  • - but sooner or later, the praise has to go from here.
  • 00:08:22.748 --> 00:08:25.885
  • So on the bus, we said, we thank you for your kindness.
  • 00:08:25.885 --> 00:08:29.989
  • We thank you for your love.
  • 00:08:29.989 --> 00:08:32.058
  • We've been in heavenly places, felt blessings from above.
  • 00:08:32.058 --> 00:08:35.027
  • We've been sharing all the good things
  • 00:08:35.027 --> 00:08:37.863
  • This family can't afford.
  • 00:08:37.863 --> 00:08:40.433
  • And we appreciate all that, but let's just turn our praise
  • 00:08:40.433 --> 00:08:43.235
  • To heaven and praise the lord.
  • 00:08:43.235 --> 00:08:45.171
  • That's the very reason we wrote this.
  • 00:08:45.171 --> 00:08:46.572

  • 00:12:59.625 --> 00:13:02.428
  • We would learn songs on the piano at the church,

  • 00:26:38.109 --> 00:26:40.111
  • Are weird about calling it manifestation

  • Or calling it positive thinking and all those things,
  • 00:26:42.847 --> 00:26:46.017
  • But the word of god tells us that, as we think, we will do,
  • 00:26:46.017 --> 00:26:49.554
  • And that when we take on the mind of christ
  • 00:26:49.554 --> 00:26:51.523
  • And we say out loud what we are expecting,
  • 00:26:51.523 --> 00:26:55.627

  • When your day starts.
  • 00:27:05.370 --> 00:27:06.838
  • - and we've all been through stuff.
  • 00:27:06.838 --> 00:27:08.339

  • 00:34:38.689 --> 00:34:39.690
  • - that's really good.
  • 00:34:39.690 --> 00:34:40.925
  • - that is--judy, even--even you were.
  • 00:34:40.925 --> 00:34:42.560
  • - oh, me?
  • 00:34:42.560 --> 00:34:43.694
  • Oh, yay.
  • 00:34:43.694 --> 00:34:44.896
  • [laughs]
  • 00:34:44.896 --> 00:34:46.130
  • - i threw you a curve on that.
  • 00:34:46.130 --> 00:34:48.533
  • - you were about done with the project, and i told matthew,
  • 00:34:48.533 --> 00:34:52.603
  • Could they do an a cappella version of the classic
  • 00:34:52.603 --> 00:34:56.073
  • That sandi patty and larnelle had done?
  • 00:34:56.073 --> 00:34:58.743
  • Gloria and i wrote that way back, probably 40 years ago.
  • 00:34:58.743 --> 00:35:04.182
  • - wow.
  • 00:35:04.182 --> 00:35:05.816
  • - and on that one, i had help with danny daniels on--
  • 00:35:05.816 --> 00:35:09.987
  • On the verse because that was getting in an area
  • 00:35:09.987 --> 00:35:13.824
  • I wasn't quite sophisticated enough on.
  • 00:35:13.824 --> 00:35:17.628
  • And i said, danny, help me on this.
  • 00:35:17.628 --> 00:35:19.730
  • We had a chorus.
  • 00:35:19.730 --> 00:35:21.232
  • I--i said, help me on this verse, the major and the minor.
  • 00:35:21.232 --> 00:35:24.235
  • - gotcha. - wow.
  • 00:35:24.235 --> 00:35:25.736
  • - and then gave the lyric to ms. gloria.
  • 00:35:25.736 --> 00:35:28.539
  • - wow.
  • 00:35:28.539 --> 00:35:29.674
  • - wow. what amazing.
  • 00:35:29.674 --> 00:35:31.475
  • - and the song has been amazing.
  • 00:35:31.475 --> 00:35:33.511
  • And i said, what would happen if they
  • 00:35:33.511 --> 00:35:37.148
  • Would put their a cappella treatment to this?
  • 00:35:37.148 --> 00:35:39.450
  • - well, i remember joyce calling us and saying,
  • 00:35:39.450 --> 00:35:42.153
  • Bill called me today, and he's suggesting we do
  • 00:35:42.153 --> 00:35:46.190
  • "i've just seen jesus."
  • 00:35:46.190 --> 00:35:47.258
  • [laughter]
  • 00:35:47.258 --> 00:35:48.326
  • And i'm thinking, oh, oh, really?
  • 00:35:48.326 --> 00:35:50.394
  • - does he know we're a trio?
  • 00:35:50.394 --> 00:35:51.662
  • - does he know we're a trio? that was first.
  • 00:35:51.662 --> 00:35:53.564
  • - does he know--
  • 00:35:53.564 --> 00:35:55.199
  • Does he know we're not larnelle harris?
  • 00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:57.802
  • - or sandi patty. - or sandi patty, right.
  • 00:35:57.802 --> 00:35:59.937
  • - but, you know, as we began to explore that option,
  • 00:35:59.937 --> 00:36:05.243
  • It definitely wasn't on our radar of songs to pick
  • 00:36:05.243 --> 00:36:07.778
  • Because it's always been such a big duet song.
  • 00:36:07.778 --> 00:36:13.517
  • But, again, matthew just took it
  • 00:36:13.584 --> 00:36:16.487
  • And was able to make it
  • 00:36:16.487 --> 00:36:18.756
  • The three of us interacting together
  • 00:36:18.756 --> 00:36:20.825
  • With the lyric and making it our--
  • 00:36:20.825 --> 00:36:23.027
  • A story we were telling to each other
  • 00:36:23.027 --> 00:36:25.396
  • And to our audience that made it fit.
  • 00:36:25.396 --> 00:36:28.165
  • - and i was so intimidated by it,
  • 00:36:28.165 --> 00:36:30.768
  • Not only because it was such an iconic song,
  • 00:36:30.768 --> 00:36:33.904
  • But that's probably the hardest thing we've ever done.
  • 00:36:33.904 --> 00:36:36.574
  • I enjoy having to work hard for something.
  • 00:36:36.574 --> 00:36:39.443
  • And we definitely had to work hard on this song,
  • 00:36:39.443 --> 00:36:42.046
  • But then also, just the--
  • 00:36:42.046 --> 00:36:45.850
  • The emotional toll it took on us.
  • 00:36:45.850 --> 00:36:49.353
  • Because i'm telling you, the first time, taking us back
  • 00:36:49.353 --> 00:36:55.693
  • To when matthew was sitting at the piano
  • 00:36:55.693 --> 00:36:57.428
  • And we learned the beginning-- because it has that,
  • 00:36:57.428 --> 00:36:59.764
  • Like, very monumental, very recognizable intro
  • 00:36:59.764 --> 00:37:04.368
  • That the piano and the orchestra does.
  • 00:37:04.368 --> 00:37:06.504
  • Well, we mimicked that with our vocals.
  • 00:37:06.504 --> 00:37:08.205
  • - yeah.
  • 00:37:08.205 --> 00:37:09.307
  • - so we're-- we learned that part.
  • 00:37:09.307 --> 00:37:10.875
  • And when we first got to that first chorus--
  • 00:37:10.875 --> 00:37:13.444
  • ♪ i've just seen ♪
  • 00:37:13.444 --> 00:37:16.280
  • And when--none of us could sing jesus
  • 00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:18.683
  • Because we were squalling already.
  • 00:37:18.683 --> 00:37:20.618
  • We couldn't-- we couldn't sing it.
  • 00:37:20.618 --> 00:37:22.687
  • And we were like, wait, wait, wait,
  • 00:37:22.687 --> 00:37:24.522
  • You're going to have to give us a minute.
  • 00:37:24.522 --> 00:37:26.257
  • - but it let us know it was going to be something special
  • 00:37:26.257 --> 00:37:28.292
  • If we could get it done.
  • 00:37:28.292 --> 00:37:29.293
  • - yeah.
  • 00:37:29.293 --> 00:37:30.594
  • - and it has turned out very well, we thought.
  • 00:37:30.594 --> 00:37:32.229
  • - well, and there's singing songs and then--
  • 00:37:32.229 --> 00:37:37.802
  • Or songwriting, but then there's storytelling.
  • 00:37:37.802 --> 00:37:41.539
  • And this song, it tells the story
  • 00:37:41.539 --> 00:37:44.775
  • In such a dramatic way positively, you know,
  • 00:37:44.775 --> 00:37:50.915
  • In such a way that it--
  • 00:37:50.915 --> 00:37:52.650
  • It actually paints the picture
  • 00:37:52.650 --> 00:37:56.454
  • Of it happening for the first time.
  • 00:37:56.454 --> 00:37:58.756
  • And it--it's so wonderful.
  • 00:37:58.756 --> 00:38:00.524
  • - it puts you there too.
  • 00:38:00.524 --> 00:38:01.559
  • - yes, it does.
  • 00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:03.227
  • - it puts you right there.
  • 00:38:03.227 --> 00:38:04.829
  • - and i knew--
  • 00:38:04.829 --> 00:38:06.330
  • - he really saw me too.
  • 00:38:06.330 --> 00:38:08.165
  • - yeah.
  • 00:38:08.165 --> 00:38:09.333
  • - as if till now i've never lived.
  • 00:38:09.333 --> 00:38:12.169
  • And here's the line for all of us,
  • 00:38:12.169 --> 00:38:13.771
  • "all that i've done before."
  • 00:38:13.771 --> 00:38:15.740
  • - "doesn't matter." - whoo.
  • 00:38:15.740 --> 00:38:18.175

  • - well, you--you make songwriters look awfully,
  • 00:44:54.271 --> 00:44:59.910
  • Awfully, awfully--
  • 00:44:59.910 --> 00:45:01.145
  • [laughter]
  • 00:45:01.145 --> 00:45:02.913
  • You know, gloria and i have been married now for 63 years,
  • 00:45:02.913 --> 00:45:07.117
  • And we've written most of our lives.
  • 00:45:07.117 --> 00:45:09.720
  • Contrary to what mark lowry said,
  • 00:45:09.720 --> 00:45:11.622
  • I did not marry her because she was a lyricist.
  • 00:45:11.622 --> 00:45:13.857
  • [laughter]
  • 00:45:13.857 --> 00:45:15.793
  • I married the little rascal because i loved her.
  • 00:45:15.793 --> 00:45:18.262
  • I loved her mind.
  • 00:45:18.262 --> 00:45:19.530
  • I loved the give and take that we had together,
  • 00:45:19.530 --> 00:45:23.333
  • But neither one of us ever claimed to be great singers
  • 00:45:23.333 --> 00:45:26.804
  • Or great musicians.
  • 00:45:26.804 --> 00:45:28.272
  • So songwriters have got to depend on great communicators,
  • 00:45:28.272 --> 00:45:31.742
  • And we've had the best.
  • 00:45:31.742 --> 00:45:33.110
  • You know, michael english, sandi patty.
  • 00:45:33.110 --> 00:45:35.612
  • - right.
  • 00:45:35.612 --> 00:45:36.680
  • - you know, david phelps. i mean--
  • 00:45:36.680 --> 00:45:38.649
  • I mean, why are we-- the martins.
  • 00:45:38.649 --> 00:45:40.784
  • Why are we--except with this project, you--
  • 00:45:40.784 --> 00:45:44.054
  • You kids have not done a lot of our tunes for only one reason,
  • 00:45:44.054 --> 00:45:47.758
  • Because you were singing with us
  • 00:45:47.758 --> 00:45:49.426
  • And you had to get songs that we weren't singing.
  • 00:45:49.426 --> 00:45:51.328
  • - that's very true.
  • 00:45:51.328 --> 00:45:52.462
  • - but thank god that finally happened.
  • 00:45:52.462 --> 00:45:53.931
  • - finally. - yes.
  • 00:45:53.931 --> 00:45:55.799
  • - you know, a lot of artists have--
  • 00:45:55.799 --> 00:45:57.901
  • A lot of artists do gaither tributes.
  • 00:45:57.901 --> 00:46:00.370
  • And we've always wanted to do one.
  • 00:46:00.370 --> 00:46:01.905
  • It just hasn't been the right time.
  • 00:46:01.905 --> 00:46:03.473
  • - yeah.
  • 00:46:03.473 --> 00:46:04.808
  • - we felt this was the right time for us and--
  • 00:46:04.808 --> 00:46:06.476
  • - i don't even know if we've ever
  • 00:46:06.476 --> 00:46:09.179
  • Been able to voice to you that the gaither trio was one
  • 00:46:09.179 --> 00:46:14.151
  • Of the trios that mom gravitated to on songs
  • 00:46:14.151 --> 00:46:17.855
  • That she taught us to sing.
  • 00:46:17.855 --> 00:46:19.223
  • Mom would go to the music store,
  • 00:46:19.223 --> 00:46:21.091
  • And she would look at the songbooks.
  • 00:46:21.091 --> 00:46:22.593
  • And if there were three people on the cover--
  • 00:46:22.593 --> 00:46:25.863
  • - especially--
  • 00:46:25.863 --> 00:46:27.197
  • - two women and a man.
  • 00:46:27.197 --> 00:46:28.632
  • - she would pick it up
  • 00:46:28.632 --> 00:46:30.334
  • And thumb through it and take it home.
  • 00:46:30.334 --> 00:46:32.603
  • Because that's how we met the lanny wolfe trio,
  • 00:46:32.603 --> 00:46:34.071
  • Never, ever having heard them sing.
  • 00:46:34.071 --> 00:46:36.974
  • But the three people on the front,
  • 00:46:36.974 --> 00:46:38.375
  • We learned some of their songs.
  • 00:46:38.375 --> 00:46:39.910
  • - one of the very first songs we learned
  • 00:46:39.910 --> 00:46:41.311
  • Three-part harmony to was "i will serve thee."
  • 00:46:41.311 --> 00:46:43.714
  • - that's right.
  • 00:46:43.714 --> 00:46:44.715
  • - and then we were little.
  • 00:46:44.715 --> 00:46:45.849
  • I was probably about six years old.
  • 00:46:45.849 --> 00:46:47.050
  • - yeah.
  • 00:46:47.050 --> 00:46:48.552
  • - judy learned the melody because she was the youngest.
  • 00:46:48.552 --> 00:46:50.153
  • - i was five.
  • 00:46:50.153 --> 00:46:51.255
  • - mom taught me my harmony part,
  • 00:46:51.255 --> 00:46:52.656
  • Which was usually women's alto,
  • 00:46:52.656 --> 00:46:55.225
  • By singing it in my ear until i memorized my part.
  • 00:46:55.225 --> 00:46:58.128
  • - yeah.
  • 00:46:58.128 --> 00:46:59.630
  • - joyce memorized her part, and it was three-part harmony.
  • 00:46:59.630 --> 00:47:01.632
  • - that's right.
  • 00:47:01.632 --> 00:47:02.633
  • - so "i will serve thee."
  • 00:47:02.633 --> 00:47:04.268
  • - i was so glad you included that one on--it's so simple.
  • 00:47:04.268 --> 00:47:07.170
  • A lot of people-- oh, it's not a performance
  • 00:47:07.170 --> 00:47:10.140
  • Kind of song necessary. - right.
  • 00:47:10.140 --> 00:47:11.942
  • - it's a participation kind of song for the audience.
  • 00:47:11.942 --> 00:47:15.512
  • We still, vocal band, will sing it from time--not every night,
  • 00:47:15.512 --> 00:47:18.548
  • But we will sing it.
  • 00:47:18.548 --> 00:47:19.883
