With the recent passing of Charlton Heston, I was reminded of one of our skit from the Gospel Cafe show. Charlton Heston (Moses) was a excellent actor and his worked will continue to bring joy to many new viewers.
Here's Ten Commandments in 2 minutes:
Baby found in the Nile. Baby becomes Prince of Egypt. Prince has a soft spot for slaves. Prince finds out he is a slave. Prince is banished into the wilderness. Prince finds Shepard family. Prince becomes Shepard. Shepard goes to the top of the mountain. Shepard meet the Great I Am. Shepard becomes a messenger. Messenger returns to Egypt. "Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape" (oops! wrong movie, but love the line) "Let my people go!" "No!" Bricks made without straw. "Let My People go!" "No!" "You'll be cursed!" Pharaoh says "So!" Pharaoh & Egypt cursed. River of blood, fire on water, locust and first born slain. Pharaoh says "Go!". Slaves freed. Pharaoh heart harden. Pharaoh goes back on word. Pharaoh's Army traps slaves by the sea. Red Sea opens up.(Back in the day, this was called a miracle. Now in the movie it's called special effects). Slaves waltzes through the parted sea. Pharaoh's Army drowns in the Red Sea. Messenger goes to the mountain top receives the commandments. "Thou shall not kill" "Thou shall not steal" "Thou shall not bear false witness" and seven more. Messenger returns from mountain to find former slaves in a freak-neak, Mardi-Gras, Bacchanal, Carnival and Idol worship all rolled up into one times ten. Slaves wanders in the wilderness for several hundred years.

April Artist Of The Month

When I was young, my father used to listen to many gospel artists, there were some I liked and some I just couldn't get into. He did however, turned me on to Reverend James Cleveland. Rev. James Cleveland voice was like no other during his period. His truly blessed voiced soar over our stereo and drew me near. I would later sing a song made famous by him in our church choir. I did a decent job, but there's only one James Cleveland. he went on to create the Gospel Workshop of America, He worked with Aretha Franklin on her groundbreaking gospel Cd "Amazing Grace" and worked with some of the best choir ever.

This month we celebrate his legacy and his outstanding work.

JAMES CLEVELAND was born in Chicago, Illinois on December 5, 1931 to Rosie Lee and Benjamin Cleveland during the height of the greatest depression. James’ grandmother attended Pilgrim Baptist Church, where she was a member of the choir. James had no choice but to attend these rehearsals with his grandmother and found himself sitting through these choir rehearsals – bored stiff!! Eventually James decided he would conquer the boredom through attempting to sing along with the choir. It was in one of these rehearsal that James’ singing was noticed and he was made choir mascot. The choir director, Thomas A. Dorsey wrote a song for him which launched the career of what was the be a long line of performances. Through Dorsey’s teaching and directing young James was influenced in a great way.
