- Hey, my brother.

- Welcome to "Alabama Gospel Roots."

- Thank you for having me, I appreciate you to have me on.

- Kind enough to have you.

I got you.

(both laughing) Well, listen, call a neighbor, call a friend, and let 'em know that we are back again.

- That's good.

- And I know what happened.

- What happened?

- You heard all this good time that your brother was having at "Alabama Gospel Roots."

- All right.

- And you say, "Bro, break me off a piece of it."

- I wanna get in on the business there.

I wanna get in on it right there.

- And we all win because a lot of people out in our listening and viewing audience, they love some Lusters.

- Praise God.

- Because they love some Charles Johnson.

- Yeah.

Amen.

- Okay.

- Thank God for you, appreciate that.

- Yes, indeed, and we love you as well.

- Thank you, God.

- Okay, now let me ask you, 'cause we've heard the story from Darrell.

He told me that you, when it came down to chicken, that you always got the best piece from him.

(Ricky laughing) I'm just kidding.

I'm just kidding.

I'm just kidding.

- That's true, though.

(both laughing) - Oh, brought back some memories, right?

- Yes, it did.

- So now, you guys were from a big family, right?

- Yes we are.

- How many?

- 15.

- 15.

- 10 boys and 5 girls.

- Wow.

- Raised by a single parent, my mom only.

My father unfortunately passed at a early age and left my mom to raise all 15 of us.

- Okay.

Now, Mom had to do some strong raising, I know.

- Yes, she did 'cause we were some mischievous kids.

- Well, we got a few of those mothers left like that.

But now, not many.

- Not many.

No.

- That can round up 15 of 'em.

- That's right.

- Yes.

- Amen.

- Sometimes, you got a whipping for something you didn't even do.

- That's true.

- Well, she start from the, if nobody told on the other one, she said, "I'm gonna start from the top and go all the way down to the bottom."

- Somebody gonna say something.

(Ricky laughing) I ain't do it, Mom.

I ain't do it.

- That's right.

(both chuckling) - Pointing fingers, right?

- Yep, and fortunately, when she got down to me, 'cause at that time, I was the baby.

- Uh-huh.

- And she was too tired to whip me.

(George laughing) I was in the bright pants.

- Hey, being the baby paid off, right?

- (laughs) Amen.

- Great, well, we're so glad to have you now.

So I know you were with Brother Charles Johnson.

- Yes.

- For a good while.

How long were you with Charles Johnson?

- For about 10 years.

- 10 years.

- Yes, sir.

- And now you've been traveling all over the place doing your own personal solo ministry, right?

- Yes.

Yes, I have.

- Great, and you'll go anywhere they call you, right?

- Amen, as long as there's souls out there to be saved, I wanna be in the midst there.

- That is a beautiful thing.

- Help somebody be saved.

- We're gonna get Darrell on one of the shows coming up.

And if you stick around, we might get y'all to do something together.

That would be awesome.

- Hey, that would be great, I look forward to it.

I always look forward to singing with my youngest baby brother.

- All right now.

(Ricky laughs) All right, you still got the upper hand, right?

- Yes, I do.

- At least he make you think it.

- I'm wanna make that known.

Well, we appreciate our audience and I'm sure they'll just glad to see you.

They love you and they're gonna push you a little bit further than you would push yourself.

Now, let's say a very special hello and salute to a very important person.

I'm gonna call him important because he's meant so much to so many for so long.

91 years of age.

He's young, he's a young guy, and his name is Mr. Dave Hatcher Sr.

He's a resident of Hueytown, Alabama, born in Orrville, Alabama.

And he's a chairman of the Deacon Board at Macedonia Baptist Church.

He worked 26 years in the US Post Office, father of three and seven grandchildren.

Had a chance to spend some time with him not too long ago.

And I'm telling you, boy, he's got a good-looking automobile.

He said he special ordered it.

I don't remember the year of it, but it still looks brand new 'cause he takes real good care of it.

And that's what people do, when they wanna hold on to something, they take care of it.

That's right.

That's a word for somebody.

So Mr. Dave Hatcher Sr., you're a man among men, and we appreciate you and we are honored to say that you're our Golden Vessel.

Now, we're gonna dedicate the entire "Alabama Gospel Roots" show to Mr. Dave Hatcher Sr. and here it goes, more great gospel music.
