My Dad Willie D. White and his quartet group ” The Mighty Wind” they started the group the same year that i was born 53 years ago 1957, i can still remember when singers like “The .’Original Five Blind Boys”, “The Young Caravans” who included .Norwood”, “The Mighty Cloulds Of Joy “and The Staple Singers all came to our home, they were on stage with them too. i can remember when they gained the attention of Motown Records President and Founder Berry Gordy came to our home to hear their rehearsal , Mr Gordy offered them a recording deal …They declined the offer to be a secular singing group…Saying” What Profit A Man To Gain the world and lose his soul,Although the group never recorded with the Detroit record company, during that period they could still be heard on the radio each Sunday morning performing on a 15 minute show that was sponsored by Car Load Sam who hosted the legendary Flint gospel radio show.***Now get this, they went to the radio program to sing on the air… I remember..Oooops my age is showing…
