Comments on: Kitty Parham http://averyfineline.com/2008/06/23/kitty-parham/ Criticism and commentary on southern gospel music and culture Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:13:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3 By: 1 old fan http://averyfineline.com/2008/06/23/kitty-parham/#comment-523931 1 old fan Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:12:46 +0000 http://averyfineline.com/2008/06/23/kitty-parham/#comment-523931 I would guess the reason Bill got caught off-guard may be because not all music companies are as quick to release their artists to do outside project as s/g labels seems to be. S/g seems to be about the only genre where labels will allow artists to do other projects without the LABELS exchanging money for the privilege. And many black gospel artists are on MAJOR mainstream labels, and they would be less likely to GIVE an artist away than a smaller Christian label might. Just a thought, anyway.

He usually is a great businessman. I seem to remember this video being discussed back then when he was going to do it. Someone in the comments acted like it is older than I would have thought offhand. I am surprised that Gaither hadn’t done his homework beforehand. He usually is a great businessman.

I wrote the Gaither organization a number of years ago and asked if it had considered doing a video with African-American gospel artists. The reply said that Gaither had made such a video but was unable to release it for various legal reasons. I believe #1 is correct and that this was done by Gaither.

I don't believe it was ever released due to record label artist release issues. Some notables I recognized were Albertina Walker of The Caravans, Richard Smallwood, ace guitar player Al Willis and if looks don't deceive me, that appears to be the late Billy Preston on organ. I do remember a pretty good buzz on this years ago. Hey Avery,
