Minister Louis Farrakhan
Minister Louis Farrakhan became the Nation of Islam leader in '77. But, music was his first love. He gained fame as a calypso singer and gifted violinist. While headlining a show in Chicago, he attended a Nation of Islam convention and ultimately converted. Although controversial, Farrakhan shares pulpits with ministers from various denominations and addresses diverse organizations. In '99, he battled prostate cancer and came back to the public stage in '00, still maintaining a demanding schedule.
