Brother Charlie, how are you?

You know to get right up in that mic, 'cause everybody want to hear that voice.

(both laughing) - I'm doing well, and I see you got everybody all in place, and we're so glad to have you back on "Alabama Gospel Roots."

You glad to be back?

- Oh, we're glad to be back, everybody glad to be back.

- Man, y'all got the choir, the orchestra, and everything.

- [Charlie] Got a drummer in the box.

- Oh yeah.

Hey, we can't forget the drummer in the box.

Quickly, let me say this, 'cause I think today as we present ourselves to the "Alabama Gospel Roots" audience, we want to pay tribute to Doug Royale, is that right?

- Amen, amen.

- That's right, absolutely.

- He's gone on to glory, and we are thankful for the time that he spent, and he would be back there on that base giving orders today, wouldn't he?

(group agreeing) Somebody say he's still giving orders.

(all chuckling) - Taking charge and taking names.

- All right, all right.

So you guys, for those who have not seen you, you've kind of been playing together off and on forever, right?

- Long time.

- Long time.

I remember you at the American Gospel Quartet Convention.

- Yeah.

- Brother Al had you out there to catch his mic when he did the James Brown moves.

(all chuckling) - That's right.

He caught it.

- He ain't doin' no James.

- He ain't doin' no James Brown.

(George laughing) Brother Al, tell me a little bit about what's going on down there, sir.

- Oh, well, I slipped at work in a truck, and slipped on a patch of ice, and broke my ankle in three places there.

- Wow, well, we say be healed, huh?

Healed by the blood.

- Amen, amen.

- All right, and call me when the check comes.

(group laughing) We don't have time to introduce everybody, but this is because everybody's been, but Giovanni, how you been?

- I'm good.

- Great, you still working with the food bank?

- That's changed a little bit due to government funding, but I'm still volunteering there.

- Still volunteering, all right, all right.

She got, oh man, we got the footsies going on.

- [Singer] Yeah, she got the foot.

- I wanna that first song was rocking, man.

Y'all, you mean, hey, we need, we're gonna have to give y'all a whole show, Mike just said, woo.

(George and Charlie laughing) But this song that you have coming up, tell us a little bit about that.

- About "Heal Our Land"?

- "Heal Our Land," yes.

- Well, as you know, Mike Ousley and you, Brother George, and Reverend Al Lewis and I got together to pray on all the strife going on in our country and all the division, shared a lot of things, two and a half, three hours together.

- Yeah.

- Did some praying.

- Yeah.

- And said, "Lord, what do we do to be your hands and feet in this situation?"

And just a few weeks later, you called me up, said, "Charlie, I'm doing the dishes in my kitchen.

I got a song come to me.

I'm gonna sing it in the phone and text it to you.

You gotta finish writing it."

You did.

- See, y'all thought I couldn't sing, uh-huh.

(Charlie chuckling) - Well, I won't comment.

(group laughing) - Oh, you were doing good Charlie.

You were doing good.

- No, it was excellent.

(George laughing) In fact, we've invited you to join us, you just won't do it.

- Well, hey, I got, I'm gonna get some red, I'm gonna be right there when the love comes.

- But all four of us participated in the writing of that song over several months, and we took it to a studio, Mark Phillips' studio.

- Yeah.

- Asked him if he would produce the song.

He said, "Yeah."

I said, "What's the budget gonna be?"

And he said, "This is kingdom work."

- Yeah.

- It was the last work that he did in his studio before he caught COVID and passed.

- Yeah, and we're thankful for him and his life.

- He loved the Lord, and he poured his heart into this song.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Better be careful when the last thing you're doing, you never know what you're going on the glory on, I'm telling you, and he said, "No charge."

- No charge He said it was kingdom work.

- Kingdom work, so this is a very special song you're getting ready to do, is that right?

- Special to us, sure is, yes sir.

- All right, well, let's get ready to hear it then, what about it?

- All right.

Are you ready for it?

Alexander City, hello to you.

"Alabama Gospel Roots" loves you, yes indeed.

14,843 people there, Andalusia, 8,805 people, that's in Covington County.

Now, like I always say to you, do a little exercise.

Don't just sit there.

If you can move, move your hands, do something, 'cause we need you to stay around for us, okay?

We love all of you.

Now it's time to salute our Golden Vessel.

This name was called in by this lady's daughter-in-law, and I know it's kinda like daughter, not even daughter-in-law.

Her name is Mrs. Lizzie Phillips of Vance, Alabama.

Mrs. Phillips is the mother of four boys.

She loves gardening.

She drives her white truck all around the town, I understand.

Her mother gave birth to 11 children, and Mrs. Phillips is the second oldest, so she tells everybody what to do and they better do it too.

She's a long time volunteer at the Vance Library, and she loves watching the shoot 'em ups, they call it.

That's the cowboy pictures.

I know somebody else at my house that loves watching them too, and we don't need a color television 'cause it's all in black and white.

And she also loves watching "Alabama Gospel Roots," so Mrs. Lizzie Phillips, you're our Golden Vessel, and we dedicate the entire show to you.

Now let's hear some more great gospel music on "Alabama Gospel Roots."

(bright music) ♪ Now and then an old friend of mine ♪ ♪ That I've not seen in some time ♪ ♪ Would stop by and ask me where you been ♪ ♪ What's on your mind ♪ He's wondering why I'm not drinking ♪ ♪ And paintin' this whole town red ♪ ♪ I tell him I'm serving Jesus ♪ And that old man is dead ♪ This man you see before you ♪ May look a lot the same ♪ I may wear the same clothes ♪ Have the same old name ♪ But you're looking' at the outside ♪ ♪ If you could see inside instead ♪ ♪ You would see a brand new man ♪ ♪ Cause this old man is dead (bright music continues) ♪ I used to live such a wicked life ♪ ♪ I had no hope inside ♪ I was lost in the darkness ♪ Lookin' for a light ♪ Then one night in a little church ♪ ♪ I listened to what the preacher said ♪ ♪ I gave my heart to Jesus ♪ Now that old man is dead ♪ This man you see before you ♪ May look a lot the same ♪ I may wear the same clothes ♪ And have the same old name ♪ But you're looking' at the outside ♪ ♪ If you could see inside instead ♪ ♪ You would see a brand new man ♪ ♪ Cause this old man is dead ♪ But you're looking at the outside ♪ ♪ If you could see inside instead ♪ ♪ You would see a brand new man ♪ ♪ 'Cause that old man is dead (bright music continues) - It's "Alabama Gospel Roots," and we are so glad to have River of Praise here with us.

- That's what I'm talking about.

Well, listen, it's great having great singing, and we like to always say this, and I want you guys to repeat after me when I say this, okay?

I'm not gonna say anything you'll be ashamed to repeat, okay, so here we go.

We're all sisters and brothers.

- [Group] We're all sisters and brothers.

- There's only one color.

- [Group] There's only one color.

- And that is the color of love.

- [Group] And that is that color of love.

- That's exactly right.

Everybody, have a great week, smile, be happy, and show happiness, and happiness will come back to you, ain't no doubt about it.

You're gonna have the best week you've ever had because you saw the Sixth Avenue Baptist Church Men of Distinction, and all the other people who've been on "Alabama Gospel Roots" tonight.

Listen, I'm getting outta here, but be well, and we want one more song from you, can we get it?

- Yes sir.

- All then, well, put your hands together.

You still got time to call a neighbor, call a friend.

Tell 'em Sixth Avenue Baptist Church Male Chorus is on, and they're going to be blessed.

We'll see you on next Saturday.
