Great clip but I did not know that he was a pastor. I first saw him on the Bill Gather Hour were he did the one about Amazing Grace.
I have since learn that you can play most hymns using the black keys only. Now thats amazing.

Brotha Jaycee, another great post.
Like Momma Brock noted (above), I did not know he was a pastor.
But Rev. Wright did talk about the pentatonic structure of black music. However, nowadays, artists like Soulja Boy have made our music diatonic. *SMH*
This was a nice, short snippet of a sermon. I got my church in for the week! I'll send my tithes to you later. :)
Glad to know you were blessed! So am I

Where can I get the full version of this sermon? Thanks
