I got two of the premium Southern soul artists on
my show. Man.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I can't contain my excitement, man, fix stay right there.
I got to ask you a question, man, I want
to know more about your gospel singing roots and was
it difficult to transition from gospel to secular?
Speaker 7 (13:07):
You know the hardest part about it was things were
a lot different when I made the transition than they
are now.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Church people were mad at.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
Me, man, you know, they and then not only that,
the people in the secular world were wondering if I
was really serious about doing it or if I was
just sticking my head over here trying to see what
it looked like. So I had to prove, you know,
that I was serious about doing it before some of
the secular people.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Would open the door and let me in, so to speak.
And then the church.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
People, they eventually softened up.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
I give you a quick story. My grandmother god Wrestler.
So she was.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
A di viout Christian woman, and she found out that
I was doing some southern soul blues and she.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Stayed mad at me.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
I mean, she was mad at me until she got
sick and went in the hospital, and those ladies at
the those nurses realized that I was the same Vic
Allen singing those songs they like, so they started looking
out for her real good.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
That's what she said.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Oh Man, that's your.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Grandson, that's my grandson. Oh I love my grandmama said
me too. Man.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I bet they brought more life and joy in her body,
you know, and in the spirit.
Speaker 2 (14:32):

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Oh yeah, Victor, I got you, man, uh Man I

Marvin Cease his Double Crosser.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Man, Man, Man, what made you do it?
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Man?
Speaker 7 (14:46):
I'm gonna tell you it goes back to what I
was just saying about, you know, me liking loving soul music. Man,

mean that deep down inside. And those songs were songs that. Man,
when I was in high school, everybody was I was

a lot different when I made the transition than they
are now.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Church people were mad at.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
Me, man, you know, they and then not only that,
the people in the secular world were wondering if I
was really serious about doing it or if I was
just sticking my head over here trying to see what
it looked like. So I had to prove, you know,
that I was serious about doing it before some of
the secular people.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Would open the door and let me in, so to speak.
And then the church.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
People, they eventually softened up.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
I give you a quick story. My grandmother god Wrestler.
So she was.
Speaker 7 (13:48):
A di viout Christian woman, and she found out that
I was doing some southern soul blues and she.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Stayed mad at me.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
I mean, she was mad at me until she got
sick and went in the hospital, and those ladies at
the those nurses realized that I was the same Vic
Allen singing those songs they like, so they started looking
out for her real good.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
That's what she said.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Oh Man, that's your.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Grandson, that's my grandson. Oh I love my grandmama said
me too. Man.

you know, and in the spirit.
