Smitty: When you first developed the concept and the songs, what were your thoughts at that time when you were putting that together? I know you mentioned a little bit about the message of the album title, but what overall message were you trying to convey other than those things?

RL: Well it was really easy putting it together, because, I for the last, oh, for the last forty years, began closing my concerts with a medley of spirituals, gospels songs, hymns, and I would vary them from time to time, just playing different one’s, and they’ve always been with me. So when it came time to put this album together, I kinda knew what songs I wanted to be on it. Of course Smokie wrote his own song (God Can Work It Out) which of course was apropos, and Darius Brooks wrote his own song (Healed Heart) which was apropos. Donald Lawrence we chose, we just told him we were going to do “Prayer Of Jabez” of his (both laughing), and “Pass Me Not” has always been one of my favorite songs going back to when I was a kid, because we used to do it almost every Sunday morning when daddy (Ramsey Emmanuel Lewis Sr.) was the choir director. “Oh Happy Day”; when that song came out in the sixties, it was one of the songs I dearly loved and it was on an “LP” and I must have worn out two or three “LP’s”, that whole LP, but especially “Oh Happy Day”.

Smitty: Yes, a very familiar song after all these years. Talk about how you came up with the melody for “With One Voice”?

RL: Yes, the song “With One Voice”, I was finished practicing one day or at least I thought I was finished, and that little simple eight bar melody came to me and I found myself just playing those eight bars over and over and over again. And each time I played it I was waiting for something to say, well you know it’s a simple song and it doesn’t feel good anymore. However, seems like the more I would play it, the better it felt. So I just played it for a couple people and said, ‘what do you think of it this’? They said “Yeah you should put that on the album”. It was a moment of inspiration that the song “With One Voice” came to me. So it was just a love affair, a love of God, a love of all that abound, a love of the spiritual life that brought this album together finally, and all the wonderful people. I mean if you listen to the album, this is the first album out of the eighty that I have done that I have played many times for my family and friends. It’s not so much that I’m on it, but, you know there are sixty-five people in the choir and there are ten musicians including my trio and the gospel musicians, and Smokie, and Darius and Donald, and the parishioners. And the theme that we captured, the spirit that was in the church that night, and when I play it, it all just comes back to me. So if nobody buys it (laughing)……….
