A Tribute To Lee Williams R.I.H

[Music] i can't hear [Applause] [Music] then i find out somebody's sick somebody's in the hospital or somebody has passed and gone [Music] and more heals [Music] [Music] it was their recording debut the chart smashing i've learned to lean by me williams and the spiritual qcs that turned this veteran quartet from mississippi into gospel superstars in the early 90s lee williams and the spiritual qc's right now they are the hottest group in the country lee williams has spent his entire life in tupelo mississippi where he grew up in a gospel-loving church-going household his uncle formed the first spiritual qcs and when that group disbanded in 1964 lee and his brother willie started it up again with new personnel for decades when lee wasn't driving a truck for a living in his hometown he and the new qc's performed in and around tupelo but when a memphis dj heard one of their tapes the doors to gospel music stardom swung open for lee al hollis leonard shumpard and roger mckinney sometime late at night doing all she cared to make everything [Applause] [Music] quartet music is very much a lie and when it's presented as the williams brothers lee williams the harmonizing form when you hear that quality in those kinds of voices and it relates to what the economic situation is today then that gives credence to why it's still real and still alive in 2002 lee williams and the spiritual qcs were inducted into the international gospel music hall of fame often playing more than 200 dates a year these veteran performers have managed to mix the rhythms of r b and gospel with a deep spiritual method [Music] [Music] obviously it's it's got to be that god approves of the music that we are doing because he's the only one that can advance it or he can stop it you know what i'm saying and and uh i think it's because god has approved the music that we're doing and the way we do it and and he has put his stamp on it and anything he put his stamp on and it's going where he wanted to go our music is made for people that are down people that looks like they have no direction in which they want to go and people are just going the wrong direction and know it but you know sometimes when people are headed in the wrong direction they uh tends to block out whatever it is that you have to tell them about changing their direction changing their ways and stuff they usually have a block that they put there but we was trying to do some music that would open that block that something can get past that may trick their heart to want to change their mind eight times stellar award winners the 101 world number one gospel quartet group in the nation how about a big hand for lee william and especially qc [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] yes it is [Music] if i could tell god just talk to him and tell him i it would be hard for me to get past telling him i appreciate you i love you and for all you've done for me and for the people that i know the people that are close people that in general i just love you for being god [Music] if you call me in the morning [Music] and i failed to answer my phone [Music] i may be getting ready or i may be already gone because i just stopped by [Music] on my way home [Applause] [Music] the cooling water sun came about when we were in the bahamas a few years back there was a group group actually in the in the bahamas by the name of cool and water and i told the that have been a wonderful song to to do when then duck said well we're doing a duet project so why don't you just call lee williams down to do the song with with you and i said that's a great idea and really the rest is history i mean the song had his name written all over so that's how it came about when marilyn called me and offered me the song i liked the song but i got like you know feel what i'm doing i gotta feel like this kind of like sent to me from [Music] me above let me stand [Music] i am tired i am weak [Music] i am one
