Story by: Gail NoblesPhoto: Wikipedia CC BY-SA 2.0This week, we're diving into a fascinating bit of musical history, a duet that sounds like a divine collaboration, but came together in a rather earthly, logistical way. We're talking about Shirley Caesar and Al Green, two great gospel singers, and their seemingly effortless rendition of "Sailing on the Sea of Your Love."Now, on the surface, it sounds like a match made in heaven, right? Shirley Caesar, the "First Lady of Gospel," and Al Green, the soul singer turned reverend. But as *The New York Times* pointed out back in 1984, this meeting of musical minds wasn't quite as spontaneous as it seems. Robert Palmer, in his article, quoted Miss Caesar as saying she'd be open to performing with Al Green, but emphasized the need for rehearsal, stressing they had never sung together.Here's where things get interesting. Conflicting schedules, a constant challenge in the music world, intervened. Miss Caesar, as the article revealed, recorded her part with her musicians, and then, while she was away on tour, Al Green came in to record his vocals solo. Think about that! Two powerhouse singers, seemingly singing *with* each other, but in reality, singing *to* each other, across time and space, thanks to the wonders of studio technology.And yet… listen to the song. You'd never know. The blend of their voices, the passion and conviction, it's seamless. It's proof to their individual talents, of course, but also to the skill of the producers and engineers who pieced it all together.“Sailing on the Sea of Your Love," released on Shirley Caesar's album "Sailin'," became a gospel hit, and a beloved example of how music can transcend logistical hurdles. Sometimes, the most beautiful harmonies are created not in perfect unison, but in separate moments, brought together by faith, talent, and a little bit of studio magic. And that, as they say, is the story behind the song.I'm Gail Nobles and you're listening to the gospel greats.

¿Por qué no creen, los que nos creen? El misterio de la incredulidad llena las páginas de los evangelios, hasta el punto de que lo más asombroso no es qué algunos no creyeran en Jesús, sino que no lo hicieran la mayoría de los que fueron testigos de sus milagros y escucharon sus palabras. El quinto capítulo de la Buena Noticia según Juan nos muestra, sin embargo, que Jesús dio claras evidencias de quién era Él. La sintonía, esta vez, está a cargo del cantante afroamericano Joe Turner, el "gritador de blues" de Kansas City que llego a ser pionero del rock &¨roll, La banda del músico cristiano galés Mike Peters, The Alarm, creía que había una "Realidad absoluta" (Absolute Reality 1985), que es la verdad de Cristo (Juan 5:19-29), una fe que compartían tres de los miembros del grupo que acompañaban en sus giras, U2. Los irlandeses grabaron en 1988 la canción que Woody Guthrie compuso a Jesucristo (They Laid Jesus Christ In His Grave) en 1940, cuando miraba por la ventana de su habitación el duro invierno de aquel año en Nueva York. Hasta conocer la verdad, "Bailamos en la oscuridad" (Dancing In The Shadows). Sobre ello canta el grupo de Andy Piercy, el músico británico que formaba un dúo a principios de los 70 con el cantautor cristiano Ishmael, antes de entrar en After The Fire, una banda de "la nueva ola" que tuvo tanto éxito que un día Bono se le acercó para decirle que quería ser un artista cristiano como él, que trabajaba en el medio normal de la música, no cantando para cristianos. José de Segovia habló con ellos cuando actuaron en el Rock-Ola, el mítico local de la Movida de Madrid en 1982. El clásico director de cine español José Luis Garci hizo una serie en 1992 para Televisión Española llamada "Historias del otro lado", que se puede ver ahora gratuitamente en la plataforma de RTVE y YouTube. Uno de sus relatos trata sobre el dilema de la fe, como el final de este capítulo del Evangelio según Juan. Se llama "Regalo de Navidad" y lo escribió con el ahora fallecido Juan Miguel Lamet. Narra el reencuentro en Asturias de dos hermanos, un científico español que se ha hecho famoso en el extranjero con sus estudios de biología y un reconocido teólogo jesuita, especializado en Patrística. El hombre de ciencia que interpreta el actor argentino Carlos Estrada, se está acercando a la fe, tras quedarse viudo, mientras que su hermano religioso ha perdido la fe. Hablamos de sus diálogos con la música del autor de la banda sonora de muchas películas de Garci, Jesús Gluck. A pesar de las evidencias que da Jesús (vv. 30-47), "Nadie escucha" (Nobody Listen), canta Adrian Snell en su disco "Alfa y Omega" de 1986. Cuando recibes su testimonio "Te entregas a Jesús" (Give Yourself To Jesus) dice Aretha Franklin en el concierto que se grabó en la Iglesia del Nuevo Templo Misionero de Los Ángeles en 1971 con el coro de la Comunidad del Sur de California del pastor Cleveland para el disco "Sublime Gracia" (Amazing Grace), al que asistió el cantante de los Stones, Mick Jagger y rodó para el cine, Sidney Pollack. Con esa fe, "Amas llamar a Jesús por su nombre" (Jesus I Love Calling Your Name), asegura la veterana cantante de góspel Shirley Caesar en 1983.

Story by: Gail NoblesCover art by: Gail NoblesThe great I AM! Hello!  I'm Gail Nobles. There's something I want to share with you. One day I was watching television and ask God: Lord, did you hear what the president said? He's got me worried. And I heard the Lord say: I know. Hard times are coming, but who am I? My word is fulfilling, and I'm coming just as the scripture said. The great I Am! Oh let me tell you about him! The very essence of existence. The Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end. When you look up at the stars understand this, he created them with just a word. His word. Genesis chapter 1 tells us “Let there be light and there was light.” Not just light, but the light of the world shining through the darkness. John chapter 8 verse 12 tells us that Jesus said: I am the light of the world. He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but she'll have the light of life. According to Acts 7,  He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The God of our fathers.The covenant-keeping God who walked through the pages of history and science, parting seas and bringing fourth rivers in the desert-yes he is the sustainer of life!  When Moses stood before the burning bush trembling, God spoke with authority. Exodus 3 verse 14 I Am that I Am: and he said, Thus shslt thou say unto the Children of Israel,  I AM hath set me unto you. Gospel singing Joe Douglas featuring Lena Byrd Miles sings The Great I AM. Gospel singing Shirley Caesar sings Who Is He. I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to a show about the gospel greats. But today's topic is The Great I Am. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And the message will continue. Tune in again next time for more of the topic: The Great I AM.

El mal es un misterio para todos. El creyente sabe por lo menos de dónde viene el bien, pero el mal es un enigma para cualquiera. Aparece en un mundo que Dios crea como muy bueno, cuando entra esa Serpiente antigua (Génesis 3:1), que el Apocalipsis (12:9) llama el diablo o Satanás. En este pasaje del Evangelio se le conoce también como Belcebú o príncipe de los demonios (Lucas 11:15) y Jesús lo compara a un "hombre fuerte que guarda su palacio, armado" (v. 21). Las campanas de ese reino infernal suenan al principio de la canción del grupo australiano AC/DC al comienzo de su disco "De vuelta al negro" (Back In Black 1980) tras la muerte de su cantante, Bon Scott, aunque el guitarristas Angus Young dice que no son satanistas, ni hacen magia negra. El grupo cristiano sueco Jerusalem se expresa igual de duramente en el rock para "Saquear el infierno y poblar el cielo" (Plunder Hell and Populate Heaven) en la canción en que Ulf Christiansson "baila sobre la cabeza de la serpiente" (Dancing On The Head of the Serpent 1987). Es el lenguaje de victoria que usa Jesús para hablar de su triunfo y saqueo del botín del hombre fuerte (Lucas 11:22). El espiritual negro "Satanás, vamos a derribar tu reino" (Satan We´re Gonna Tear Your Kingdom Down) suena con extraordinaria fuerza en la voz de la veterana cantante de góspel Shirley Caesar en la versión que hace en 2016 para la serie Greenleaf. Hay películas que no son lo que aparentan. Cuando uno ve el cartel de "El exorcismo de Emily Rose" (2005) se cree que está ante un producto más de este subgénero del terror que nace con la extraordinaria película "El exorcista" (1973). La obra del evangélico Scott Derrickson es, sin embargo, una curiosa combinación de película de juicios con el relato de un exorcismo ocurrido en Alemania en 1976, que llevó a juicio a dos curas y a los padres de Anneliese Michel. Como en la obra de Friedkin y Blatty de lo que se trata aquí es del dilema de la fe, la realidad del diablo que lleva a la existencia de Dios. Para ello, Derrickson recurre al personaje de la abogada agnóstica que interpreta esa maravillosa actriz neoyorquina que es Laura Linney, que defiende a un sacerdote que encarna el gran actor inglés, ahora fallecido, Tom Wilkinson. Se completa el cuadro teológico con un fiscal protestante, que no cree en la verdad de la posesión- Escuchamos algunas de sus interesantes escenas con los comentarios de José de Segovia sobre la banda sonora original de Christopher Young. La "Joya coronada de Satanás" es una canción de los hermanos Louvin del álbum de country-góspel "Satán es real" (1959), que ahora canta Bruce Springsteen, pero que hizo ya famosa, Emmylou Harris en 1975. El libro que lleva el nombre del disco es una fascinante biografía sobre estos dos hermanos de educación bautista: uno (Ira) alcohólico, violento y mujeriego, que se caso cuatro veces hasta que una de sus esposas le abatió a tiros cuando intentaba estrangularla, mientras que el otro (Charlie) siguió el buen camino. El remedio a la maligna influencia que anida en nuestro corazón (Lucas 11:27-28) viene cuando escuchamos y ponemos en práctica la Palabra de Dios, como dice la canción "¡Escucha!" (Listen 1981) del grupo canadiense Siervo (Servant), formado en la comunidad hippy cristiana de Jim Palosaari en 1976, que llevó la Revolución por Jesús a Inglaterra.

Bonita Burney Simmons Born to Sing... Without a doubt, Bonita has been anointed to sing! She was born on March 28, 1971 in Stamford, CT and was singing before she could even speak! As early as age 3, Bonita would hear lyrics on the radio and mimic exactly what she heard. During her first live performance, Bonita blew her audience away! People were so impressed and amazed, as they simply couldn't believe this big voice was coming from such a little girl! After spending her early years with her parents in Hartford,CT, her family relocated to Kinston, NC in 1974. Bonita would hone her skills while participating in music programs offered in Lenoir County Public Schools. She joined the chorus and in 5th grade, she was chosen to sing “The Way We Were” by Barbara Streisand. When she sang that song, there was not a dry eye in the room. During her 8th & 9th grade years, she was always active in the community, performing at events like NAACP banquets or weddings. She is a graduate of Kinston High School, Class of 1989, an alumni of Craven Community College with an Associates of Arts, and and alumni of the UAFWB Bible College where she graduated as valedictorian of the 2015 class with a Bachelor of Biblical Studies. To maintain a competitive edge, Bonita took years of private lessons with vocal coaches under the tutelage of Thomasine Hassell, Chantel Hollacheck, the late Wynona Daves, and Martha Mainor. Bonita's Singing Career... At age 12, she started her own gospel singing group, a trio called “Tried by Fire.” Determined and focused, Bonita thrived in her role as band leader and demonstrated her entrepreneurial skills at a very young age. Bonita would open up for all the national recording gospel artists who came to town like Shirley Caesar, John P. Kee, Luther Barnes, The Winans, The Williams Brothers and many others. Bonita has appeared and won first place on numerous occasions at the world famous Apollo Theatre in New York City. By the time she reached high school, she was already considered a professional singer! Today, Bonita is enjoying the flexibility of being an independent recording artist. Her talent is in high demand, as she is frequently requested to sing at venues and events throughout Eastern North Carolina! In June of 2017,  Bonita was nominated and won two awards given by The Rhythm of Gospel Awards for Traditional Artist of the Year and Best Performance by a Female Artist in Jacksonville, Florida. She also in July of 2017 was nominated and recognized as the winner in the Independent Gospel Artist category of Traditional Vocalist of the Year from the Radio Alliance Awards also located in Jacksonville, Florida.  Although she's experienced many tribulations, Bonita's life lessons are part of her unique tapestry that enables her to relate to people who are hurting. One of her biggest accomplishments is her outreach work with those who are incarcerated, sharing God's love through song. Indeed, Bonita has defined her own success, choosing to embrace an obedient lifestyle according to God's will for her life and career. She simply allows God to do the navigation and depends solely on Him to direct her career path- living by her motto, “If I make the way, then I'll have to pay the way. But if I allow HIM to make the way, he'll pay the way!" Bonita married her husband/manager, Eric B. Simmons in 1994. They have three wonderful children- Mykeva, E.J. and Landon. In October of 2000, Bonita was ordained into the Ministry as "Elder" by national Bishop Andrew Mcrorey Jr. of the Joy Mission Church of Deliverance, Hartford, CT. She also continues to serve Family Worship Center, "Ministry of Restoration" where the Pastor is George E. Fields Jr. Because serving and outreach is a part of the tapestry for Bonita's unique song ministry, being a part of the legacy of her father, the late, Bishop Landon O. Burney and the ministry that he founded is the reason she serves with great tenacity. Bonita and her family became members of Without Limits Christian Center in 2016 where the Pastors are James and Le'Conte McIver. Whenever and wherever there's a NEED; Bonita serves

To the Lord, one day she came. I've got to tell you again about Shirley Caesar. I learned a lot about true gospel music listening to her sing. When Shirley Caesar sings the gospel, she sings like she means business. She doesn't sugarcoat the gospel. She tells it like it is in her songs and doesn't leave out the truth. Ceasar has been singing since 1951. That's when she signed to Federal Records at the age of 12. You know that's a long time. And she still sings and moves like she's twelve years old. She doesn't look her age at all. God has blessed Shirley Caesar. According to SoundScan, she has sold 2.2 million albums since 1991. She's won awards and has been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. She has been honored with a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions in gospel music.Caesar has been referred to as the First Lady of Gospel music, and The Queen of Gospel Music. I've bought Shirley Caesar's cassettes and CD's and played them to death; mostly cassettes. I was always listening out for her on the Sunday morning radio show, “Inspirations Across America” back in the day. Although things have changed in music & radio, I still listen out for Shirley Caesar. She's the best still singing and preaching the gospel. I'm Gail Nobles reminding you of the gospel greats.

Rev. Dr. Stefanie Minatee, A native of Newark, New Jersey, Rev. Stef, as she is affectionately called, is the artistic director & founder of the Grammy-Award winning choir, Jubilation; and has built her life and career around music. Rev. Stef formed the acclaimed choir, Jubilation, in 1998 at the request of New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) CEO Larry Goldman and Newark Councilman/Assemblyman Donald K. Tucker. She has led the choir in numerous performances nationally and internationally since that time. Jubilation's first album “Launch Out Project” was released in 2009 followed by o Happy Day in 2010; 2013 Jubilation Christmas; 2018 It's All about You and in 2022 Worship Him. Jubilation won a Grammy after being featured with Latifah on the 2009 compilation album, Oh Happy Day: An All-Star Music Celebration, and also sang behind her at the 2010 Super Bowl. Jubilation's reputation as New Jersey's most decorated community choir dates to 1999, when Minatee, known to all as Rev. Stef, auditioned more than 300 singers from the tristate area for a Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration at NJPAC. She selected 120 from that group, including Queen Latifah's mother, Rita Owens. The group went on to sing that year with Shirley Caesar, another gospel giant. In 2002, Jubilation was tapped as the choir on Ray Charles Celebrates: A Gospel Christmas Album. In 2010, the choir earned a Grammy with Latifah and other artists for a track on the compilation album Oh Happy Day. The choir also travelled on tours to Japan and was featured on stages with artists like Isaac Hayes and tours to places like Japan. •You may also “like” and share the podcast episode; or you may Subscribe to be alerted when the newest show is published.

CANDICE YVONNE Houston native Candice Yvonne is a new and upcoming gospel singer, producer, songwriter and author of the book series “Tainted Identity” available on Amazon or wherever books are sold. She received her calling to music and the arts at a very young age, learning the piano, playing the clarinet and singing her church choir but was discouraged by self doubt and lack of confidence in her abilities. Even though she sung in choirs across the city for names like Shirley Caesar and Hezakiah Walker to name a few, it wasn't until the passing of her biological mother that she decided to stop being imprisoned by her past and live in the purpose that God had predestined for her. Singles like “Chicken” and “Freedom Ring” paint a lyrical picture of what can be achieved if you just believe in yourself and step out on Faith. She is a forced to be reckoned with, so keep a look out for more from this dynamic artist. EYE SAW Cue Summitt, better known as Eye Saw, is the newest artist on the rap scene. He certainly has proved himself time and time again. Finding his way from a wreck-less lifestyle of evictions and short comings he was able to live through the struggle just above rock bottom in witness and now Eye Saw has come to find an enlightened dimension of life. Eye Saw's perspective is to tear down the lies of society in hopes for more to step into the awareness of conscious life. Discovering passion in writing has brought an accumulation of music with a unique point of view. Hence, the cue ("Q") to the Summit. How Eye Saw comes across, he looks to tap into the masses like on a mountain top, able to see the big picture. Eye Saw is yelling out his voice in hopes that the echoes he records can be heard by a listening ear.
