Quote for the Day:

"The internet offers an opportunity to reach people that we might not otherwise be able to reach.

They are projecting that at some point people will be attending church via the internet.

I don't think going this far is a good thing, but the internet can definitely be an enhancement to our ministries, as long as it is not intended to be a replacement."

Quote for the Day:

"I had a complete fit. I said I'm starving. I've just come from New York and I can't get anything at all.

You're [Clarence Paul] a producer, you should be able to do something for me.

We sneaked into the United Sound, sneaked the Funk Brothers in there, sneaked The Andantes in there, and this was all done early in the morning, because Motown would not let their people do anything else.

Clarence Paul, Stevie Wonder and Morris Broadnax wrote 'I'm Holding On' for me. Stevie was coming up with the melody, and Clarence was pretty much the producer and director of putting it all together, but Morris Broadnax, who lived across the street from me - and it was he I used to cry to about Clarence Paul who was married - wrote all the lyrics.

Other songs that Stevie, Morris and Clarence wrote - like 'Hey Love' which Stevie did first and then I covered it [for Karen Records, in 1969] and Aretha's 'Until You Come Back To Me' - were all written for me, about my relationship with Clarence Paul.'
