I don’t think Kirk knows how much that song changed how people saw gospel music. Kirk changed the game and that song is still being sung at church almost 20 something years later. Forever a hit!

[@erinhooks5284]

I got to meet Kirk Franklin and Donnie McClurkin 2 years before that in 2012 at the Dove Awards in Atlanta. I grew up in a straight lace white Methodist church and I used to sneak and listen to 97.5 in Atlanta during the night in my room, they'd play Kirk, Donnie, Dorothy Norwood, Andrae Crouch, CeCe Winans, Yolanda, The Clark Sisters, Donald Lawrence and The Tri City Singers, alllll of them. I grew up now raising my kids on this. My daughter LOVES Hezekiah Walker.

[@TheFadingTheory]

Never liked the song, or thought it was good. Some churches sing songs over and over because the original group, etc. was/is popular and they (the church) want to seem hip and trendy by performing it. I do appreciated that others sing songs repeatedly, because they like the song.

Never understand why this is not on television. It's an amazing and hilarious award show. Tv One, BET, somebody needs to pick this up.

[@BCommentary23]

+ChellyWhit lol. But eventually it will go cause every year they talk about it on his morning show then i see the clips on youtube and i be mad lol cause it's hilarious from start to finish and everyone in there is representing a local business which is amazing on Steve's part.

[@chellywhit]

+BrittanyMaree exactly! this is what our community needs to see on television. But I guess it's all in God's timing.
