  1. Hey Azizi,

    Love what you did here. I have been hunting the net for a gospel by an AA. I heard it while I was in the University in the mid 20s, around 2003/2004 about a guy with a wife and kid, no job, left the house because he couldn't cater for his family...the guy that sang the song in the video sorta looked like Luther Vandross. It was a Gospel video collection on VCD then. The refrain was like: hold on, hold on...just putting that out in case you'd seen something like that.

    Again, great work here. Keep it up.

    1. Greetings, damy.

      You're welcome. I appreciate "hearing" from people who happen upon this blog.

      I'm sorry that I don't know the song you are asking about. I'll get it in mind and hope that I find it, and/or others reading this may know it and share that info.

      Peace and love!
