charities more on that later in the show but for now let's keep things going as we recognize the west coast impact on the history and the impact of gospel music in general check this out [Music] wow the influence of west coast gospel on me runs deep the west coast gospel music scene has been so impactful on us gospel music from the west coast is like that's my mount rushmore so many great great great talent i mean people these are people that i just admire you got your james cleveland's of the west coast you got you know your kirk cars walter hawkins and edward hawkins and tremaine daryl coley la mass choir tp mob andre crouch means a lot to me i saw under cops when i was five years old and i just had my epiphany moment then like that's what i want to do and the fact that i got to spend real quality time with him uh while he was here and he mentored me and it's just amazing andre crouch has a song in the hymnal how do you have a song in the hymnal and not be a large impact on the body of of the world of music yeah not just gospel that comes from the west coast the biggest gospel song ever oh happy day came from the west came from edmond hawkins it's a west coast thing there's something different about the la gospel sound than across the rest of the country jesus is what connects us all but the style the tempo the swag all of that is a little bit different my influence is definitely west coast all day there's no gospel music without the west coast yeah [Music] dwyane woods i love him so much he's uniquely himself he's not in competition with anybody you know sometimes in gospel music we can try to out-sync each other but there's something awesome about somebody who feels comfortable in their skin in their anointing and their testimony and shares it freely with the world and that's why i love dwayne woods uh to be able to hear what he hears and execute what he executes and pull out of singers what he does is uh it's it's mind-blowing and it's amazing he's the bb to my cece winans if you will like a brother and sister relationship and when we get together it's nothing but jokes laughs and fun but definitely he's an amazing artist in his own right and i'm thankful for his gift his impact and even all the music that he's you know working on and what's to come for him i'm excited just for everything he's a part of and happy to know him i loved wayne wood let's declare it [Music] you say [Applause] oh worth of he's a friend y'all is [Music] i know [Music] take [Music] walking away is is [Music] nobody jesus came up [Music] i never get

dark darkest and darkest fans i've been loving them since a teenager and i want to say in 1998 when their focus album came out i was just everything was on replay need to know need to know and child of god like it was just so you know innovative first tour i ever did with fred hammond in 1999 featured dawkins and dawkins i'm not sure there's a better singer than eric dawkins and a better technician because he can not only sing circles around everybody but he can tell you how he did it and what he was going for and he's been a great vocal coach to me for certain sessions and to my wife as well [Music] know [Music] [Music] there's something that i want to say [Music] so listen real close it's about the way i feel inside for the one i love got a bit of advice for y'all you need to

meeting cause you got me all about my feelings ain't nobody ever done the things you're [Music] nothing else for you to prove [Music] cause i remember the time i could have lost my life and it choked me up every time and all i can say is that i'm so thankful today still amazed at how you love me this way and i know that you're not finished [Music] that's just what you [Music] nobody tell me difference does one for me today like rocking me to sleep and then loving me awake i may never know why he chose me i don't deserve it my crying must have heard it and that's enough for me in my feelings [Music] nothing else for you to prove to keep on coming through that's just what you don't never change cause i really like feeling this way well hello and greetings family my name is pastor warren campbell of the california worship center here in los angeles california as i was thinking about what i wanted to say to you guys that word light light just kept coming to me it reminded me of a scripture in uh john chapter 8 verse 12 when jesus is talking to some guys and he says listen i'm the light of the world and he says whoever follows me will never live in darkness but will have the light in them i thought about that and i said you know what if jesus lives in us and he is the light oh man it's an awesome responsibility for us to leave our lights on doesn't matter who you are uh how much experience you have you don't have to be somebody's bishop or apostle or a pastor or somebody like that god put the light in you not for yourself but for somebody else who is in darkness so they can see you and see a way out or wherever they are don't you dare turn your light off and say you know what i got in mine let everybody else get this no leave the light on for everybody else to see leave the light on for the generation coming behind you leave the light on because this world is dark and we need to see our way out leave your light on listen that's it for me god bless you be encouraged be encouraged god loves you so do i [Music] now tonight family is not just about music it's also about ministry we have all been called to give of ourselves our time our talent our treasures to be a blessing to others and throughout tonight's show we're going to give you an opportunity to help some families who rely on ronald mcdonald house charities and your donations to help them focus on what's most important staying close to their sick children yeah let's take a look in 2016 we were hit in a head-on collision by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel i was 25 weeks pregnant with juliana here and my husband was driving we were medevac to the hospital i had a hip contusion had to have an emergency c-section and juliana was born 12 hours later she weighed one pound 11 ounces and sustained a grade four brain bleed it was really hard for us just not knowing how we were going to be able to stay close to our daughter for her recovery after we were released from the hospital you never know when life tragedies or different things will knock on your door the impact that they make when they're allowing these families to remain close and remain together while they're going through a really really difficult time when you have a child with special needs having hospital visits and with that does come surgery so for us it's been important to know that we can always depend on ronald mcdonald house charities it's the one thing that we know that we have in our corner to know that they are helping families who are dealing with sick children is very inspiring to me every bit of giving that goes toward that cause is a worthy investment [Music] my god family this season has impacted all of us in one way or another but guess what we will not be defeated we're going to look to music as a source of inspiration to support others to get through this each year the concert series helps raise awareness of ronald mcdonald house charities and its mission of improving the health and well-being of children and their families and this year is no different due to the impact of the covet 19 pandemic rmhc needs your support more than ever visit rmhc.org icgt2021 to donate to families to help them stay together while their sick children are being treated now let's keep it going so we can see the next west coast artist check this out oh molly music is just so dope he's so amazing because he doesn't um stifle his creativity and i think he's drawing a generation of children who maybe didn't grow up singing jesus is on the main line even though he is and you can tell them what you want they just approach you different and so i think that's really amazing because one must be wise to win souls and so when i think of molly i believe he's really wise and drawing um drawing this young generation to jesus definitely an innovator yeah i don't think there's uh anybody like like molly music definitely a a a broken mold and there's nobody like him like he's he's literally whatever you need him to be musically i think brilliance um i i love molly as a writer i love him as a as an artist i love him as a producer and i just really think that what he's doing is speak in volumes and he's just one of the most brilliant minds in gospel music right now in this racial music [Music] all the period belongs to you all the glory belongs to you oh god all the glory belongs to you all the glory belongs to you oh god all the lord belongs to you lord it belongs to you [Music] all the glory belongs to you lord [Music] let the lord hear our voices everybody involved sing it from their heart say all the glory belongs [Music] [Music] you took my strife all i can say is keep the music clear don't stop let them use your face [Music] oh [Music] belongs [Music] hallelujah [Music] oh ringing [Music] oh [Music] all i can say is so right now in appreciation hallelujah hallelujah is [Music] hey sing it again for that experience go away [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] oh thank you thank you all over the world we love you thank you hallelujah you give us crowns hallelujah we lay them down hallelujah you bring promotion and we are sure devotion right back [Music] oh jesus what's the man to do after that but i cry out where's my hat god oh lord what's the man to do after that it belongs to you oh god [Music] man hope you enjoy the gospel wow it's even stronger than as it [Music] and is working on me let's go fellas [Music] [Applause] [Music] and i'm turning pages glory to glory from [Music] so i'll keep it straight [Music] i am will you see me [Music] and forget yourself [Music] compared oh take my hand i will [Music] right oh to the party i love you but i got my clothes [Music] some of you need to move on you acting like you're strong but it's the weakest thing to stay right there when god called you out god say get a box for me [Music] you selfish you think you're the only one but you're wrong you're not the only one [Music] [Music] [Music] little [Music] [Music] [Music] is [Music] is [Music] i can't move [Music] all of these years i've been asking for the fire elijah brought out them 400 province and casket all of my bread in the basket all of my family acted all of my work in action right now i'm laying this backwards all of my angles reacting how much money does it take to fix these bricks these arrays takes all the canyons while the earthquake his first word has turned into his first name [Music] [Music] oh [Music] is [Music] [Music] right [Music] are you enjoying the show so far man i know i am all you got to do if you're loving what you're seeing talk to us tell us about it in the chat right now now we have heard some incredible music tonight so listen i need you to hear me on this for real tonight's concert is about more than just great gospel music it's also about giving back for a great cause i remember visiting a ronald mcdonald house in chicago and it left a huge impression on my heart just seeing families that are just like yours in mind i mean these are people who love their children and would love nothing more than to see them get better some families come from hundreds of miles away to get medical treatment for their children and need a place to stay that won't break the bank ronald mcdonald house is that haven for them many families don't pay a dime family at all and they get to stay there with hot meals comfortable accommodations for however long their child is being treated now that's a blessing some of us will never experience firsthand what these families are going through but we can show them our support by donating today if you have enjoyed the show when the concert ends we need you to go to rmhc.org icgt2021 to give your best gift the website is also on your screen and in the video description for easy and secure giving august 2017 i went in for an ultrasound appointment found out that rory my baby c she wasn't growing at a good pace so my sonographer doctor sent me on an emergency flight to houston texas we stayed for about a week at the hospital and then my insurance kind of capped so that's what brought us to ronald mcdonald house charities it was super clean it was really like a home away from home they even provided you meals wheelchairs transportations to your doctor's appointments back and forth to the hospital and there were other families there so it's very welcoming it's such a blessing because it was a stressful time for us i remember going some years ago with anthony brown and just seeing the the faces of those children that were just so joyful it was just it was so encouraging but reminded me of the faithfulness of god because of what ronald mcdonald house charities is doing these people who are in some adverse situations are still happy and they still have joy they still are able to be together it's a big weight to be lifted off of people's shoulders when you don't know where you're going to stay you need to be close to your child but you can't afford weeks and weeks of hotel stays you might lose your job you might lose your job yet it really can help families that are in the bond i think it's so important especially in this season for us to sow into ronald mcdonald house charities imagine if you had a sick child on top of dealing with a season where we were all trying to figure out what was happening but ronald mcdonald house charities was still there still taking care of families during that season i think if for no other reason we need to make sure that they have the opportunity to sow into these families and minister to these families so we all can be prepared for what's next [Music] now let's keep it going so we can see the next west coast artist check this out erica campbell one of the hardest working women in the gospel music industry her work ethic is second to none she is active and and not just busy but she's very very productive and i certainly admire her and warren as a couple and they're friends of ours but i admire their work ethic as well the first thing that comes to mind when you say erica campbell oh my gosh beautiful super kind super awesome uh super gifted and she's a superhero to me she's a radio host a singer a wife a first lady all the hats that she wears and she's still graceful enough to reach out and pour into so many you know up-and-coming artists like me and that is my sister i mean just consistent anytime you see her she's going to give you the ultimate ultimate performance um she has just been just such a brilliant light in the industry and i love my sister to pieces i'm just so excited to be on the same stage i got a question for you is the light of god shining in your life [Music] is [Music] got [Music] [Music] she hit the floor yeah is didn't think i'm so fresh [Music] and the is says let your light so shine but for the world so they can see what's good in your life and glorify your father which is in heaven they think
