heart is there with you all of the time. To all of my grandchildren who give my life new meaning everyday.

Mr. Angelo “Coach” Morris (I thank you
for never being a “yes” man). Words are not
enough to express my love for your devotion and
loyalty. It has been 10 years since my last album and those
years have been filled with many trials, but through it all you
have been there for me.
To every band member, backing vocalist, producer, engineer, writer,
arranger, or side artist who has ever blessed me on stage or in the
recording studio - I salute you. May the law of reciprocity always apply in
our lives. May you stay committed and dedicated to the music ministry and
may you be encouraged.
To all of my friends in any form of media - if you have said something good
about me or if you have said something bad about me, I thank you as long as it
was the truth.
To all my friends, may you know that I am forever grateful for every hug and for
every argument. We did it in love and ain’t nobody mad but the devil.
To all of my brothers and sisters of song who departed during the last 10 years, I am
saddened for your passing, but I am gladdened for your life everlasting.

  • 3. Thank you, muchas gracias, and merci God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. Mama Rosa Lee, Father McArthur Norris, Charles Milton, Phillip, Jeannette, Michael (Hank Norris-Wright), the Akins-Bell Family, Norris Family, Wright Family for your love, support and even your beat downs because at the end of it all, we are family. To my children Namphuyo, Patrice, Patrick (deceased), Asher, and Chaka and to all my step children (father Noel Williams, King Sporty Williams) for understanding that even though I could only be there half of the time, my heart is there with you all of the time. To all of my grandchildren who give my life new meaning everyday. To my musical family, headed by my beloved friend Mr. Angelo “Coach” Morris (I thank you for never being a “yes” man). Words are not enough to express my love for your devotion and loyalty. It has been 10 years since my last album and those years have been filled with many trials, but through it all you have been there for me. To every band member, backing vocalist, producer, engineer, writer, arranger, or side artist who has ever blessed me on stage or in the recording studio - I salute you. May the law of reciprocity always apply in our lives. May you stay committed and dedicated to the music ministry and may you be encouraged. To all of my friends in any form of media - if you have said something good about me or if you have said something bad about me, I thank you as long as it was the truth. To all my friends, may you know that I am forever grateful for every hug and for every argument. We did it in love and ain’t nobody mad but the devil. To all of my brothers and sisters of song who departed during the last 10 years, I am saddened for your passing, but I am gladdened for your life everlasting. To Alistair Abrahams, Milton Wright, Frank Jordan, Andre Allen, Brett Grant, Jason Michael, Elder James C. Nelson & Asghsmo Assembly, The S-Curve Records Family: Steve Greenberg, Golda McCormack, Jennifer Grossbach, Marty Maidenberg, Steve Yegelwel, Mike Collin, Becky Sake, Brad Davidson, Dan Pearson, and the team at UMGD, to Questlove & The Roots (I owe you one for real), Jimmy Fallon, Circle House, Audiovision, The MOST, Thankful Thursday, Mustard Seed International Ministry, Margaret Reynolds and Revelation S.E.E.D., Charlie Bellinger-Bethea & family, the Morris Family, Gina Carino & family, Jonathan and Wendy Joseph & family, Willie and Gloria Gary, Ms. Dee McDonald, and the Wright Posse. Special thanks to Miktek for creating a mic that has fallen in love with my voice. I think we are made for each other. Last but not least, to all the artists that helped me shine. God Bless you and may we always be there for one another. If I forgot your name this time, keep loving me and sign on the dotted line ....................................................................................................................................
