Yes, he did play an integral influence on gospel music; however,

I have to agree with Hoovie ........... VERY mixed feelings!

About the video .... Not necessarily about Hawkins. I'm not a huge fan of Black Gospel - but I do recognize his contribution to Gospel Music and there are some of his songs that I really like.

Is all that as clear as mud ?:toofunny

Not so much Hawkins - more what Oprah said and some of the other commentary. Quite honestly, I don't know if all that was about Jesus "showing up" or not.

Please know that while I am not a huge fan of Black Gospel, I am not so much biased because of who they are or what they wear etc (though Oprah saying this stuff while having admitted believing there are many ways to God with Jesus being one of them, totally reeks!) ... I might say the same thing about some UPC services.

This was from 2006.

I love black gospel, so I guess that's why it appeals to me so much. We sang so many of their songs at youth camps!

Just so many memories!

I think they DID feel something - how could you not?
