Im sitting here thinking and reminiscing about Andrae Crouch (who passed on yesterday at the age of 72) and the incredible impact his music has had on my life since I was 15 years old. It held me through some dark times when I was a youngster. I was in a band once when I was 17 called In Jesus Name. we opened for Andrae Crouch at a show here in Albuquerque. He was so gracious to all of us and complimented us on our music. He then came on stage and brought the packed house down. 10 years ago I met him again at the Dove Awards, shook his hand, and burst into a blubbering mass of tears. Ha. I couldnt say a word besides thanks. He was gracious again. Here are some videos I found on YouTube tonight of Mr. Crouchs songs that still touch me deeply - along with the added brilliance of Cece Winans and Tata Vegas voices. May God speed Andrae Crouch into his glorious presence. https://youtube/watch?v=bnXkDgM1B18&list=RDtp-UOjstQ1o&index=9 https://youtube/watch?v=3JByePXtnHU https://youtube/watch?v=pn12xo2Dwas
