Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, yes, how about the Baltimore Ravens in the in
the in the Washington command is doing that thing? Think
crime has been lower in both areas too.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Okay, we'll give us something to do, dangy people, something
to cheer about.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I was watching this something, this video blog. This guy
does outside the stadium. He goes in there, in there too,
but he interviews people and Baltimore fans, but they're they're there.
They don't have no humbleness, they're hard. It's like, you know,
they was talking about.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
The football world. You know.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, first I thought fans are a little humbled than that,
because you know, at our job, we try to show
a little bit of courtesy, you know, to the other
NFC fans, you know, cause we got some scanty Bengal fans,
Pittsburgh fans, so we try to be nice on them.
Fight don't break out and people get fired.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
At the rival games specifically, they are, but.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
The fans coming home, especially because he was talking about
the haters. You know, it's a lot of mare haters
out there, and mostly is the national media because a
lot of those guys were former football stars, you know,
and they're not you know, they can't lights it up.
And I understand, you know, you got out the game.
Your mind is still there, but your body just can't
do it no more. So they do show some hate. Now,
I was watching Wanna you know, he two time MVP
(03:03):
won the Super Bowl, came out of Arena football, you know,
he took the NFL about stormy years ago. He's around
ninety nine, two thousand and one, and he started out
right critiquing you know, Lamar's play play by play. But
a lot of people took it as hate. But he
said he really was helping him, you know, because he
could see that he had the potential to be the
(03:23):
greatest quarterback of all time. That's what we're talking about.
Is crazy. Yeah, I mean he was pretty cool. I've
been watching his little blog and you know, he was
just showing some of the things he's doing really good. Now,
you know he's doing. But the thing about the people
gotta look at he ain't had no help, and he
had ejected up offensive coordinator for years, you know, so.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
We never was disappointed in him. We saw a lot
of potential quarterback. He just needed to write that. He
just needs to write pieces around you. You know, let's take
time sometime for them to build around. I mean, look
at Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I remember Tom Brady was drafted like in the seventh
round or something like that. They say his potential. Yeah,
and look where they got him with the right coach,
and look where he became, you know, came to go
the greatest of all times. Anyway, it's football world, and
you know, you gotta love it. You gotta love it.
Especially having YouTube. You get a chance to see what's
(04:24):
being said and what's being done in other cities. And
like my wife said, when you gonna go to a game,
I said, well, yeah, no, it's gonna get cold. But
the thing about I just don't like to travel there.
You know, the traffic. Then you gotta find a parking space.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
And you know, so it's tailgate.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah I like that. Yeah, if I go, if I
can get with my old crew, because I think they
still tailgating, I wouldn't mind if I can give it.
But they drink hard.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Though you don't have to match their drink to have
a good time.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Go y'all habits and get into your mind.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Well then you know what, live it up because you
don't do it every day. Don get live it up.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, I'm getting the ticket soon, and you know, get
out there and yell and scream and go crazy. I
don't know. Sometime I just enjoyed just sitting back in
the comfort of my my media room and the bathroom,
and I feel like I can get there in second.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
No one says you had to go to every game.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I might make it happen. Make it happen, Yeah, make
it happen.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
The viewers would like to see your excitement.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, man, but I mean I've been to so many
of them. You know. It's like you that's kind of
out of your time.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
You've been to the stadium.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Guy saying, I think I went to every game for
like five years.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Oh oh, my bad, bad man. I'm over here thinking
I'm talking to a rookie.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I was there the whole Coyle Bowler Flaco era. Yeah, wow,
I didn't. I didn't make it. I wasn't there like
when we moved here. I guess around twenty I'm sorry. Yeah,
two thousand and six or seven or something like this,
when my ticket my able my ability to get tickets
were starting to get thin because you know, you're not
(06:21):
in there. Yeah, because I had my connects were kind
of you know, waving off then. Anyway, I'm excited for
you to have this guest tonight, everybody. Charlotte Williams. Yeah,
it's gonna be great to listen to. I mean they
talked to her. They really turned up a lot in
(06:41):
her bio. Man, she's very traditional and I can hear
that traditional sound, you know, and both her and her
performers that was in the song that track, and I
was like, man, they really live it up. They can
go like a whole thirty minutes with that one song.
People be happy.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I love a good word, So come on, bring on
the extended times.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Just let it go people, people feeling this is this
is some challenging times. Man, when we're in there, we're
in political climbing. That's off the chart. We got we
got a basketball season coming up, so some people teams,
it's not the teams they thought it was gonna be.
So people. I think people are happy about their baseball
team didn't make it to the World series, a little
(07:26):
stress going on with people, and then some people teams
are sorry they only got two wins in the NFL. Anyway,
let's talk to Charlotte. Maybe she can shed some light
on this world. What's up, Charlotte Williams. Welcome to Late
Night with Jervys Love Worldwide and Kelly Hole. How you
doing tonight?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
I'm going so wonderful. Hi guys, thank you so much
for having me.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Oh happy to have you. Trust we are.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I was lucky enough to hear some of your music
on social media today, so I just I couldn't wait.
I said, I want to hear the person behind this
powerful message.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I want to have a conversation with her.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
That's right. So you got a chance to give her
some spends you on Spotify?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
No, I found some of her videos. She has original audio,
and so her original audio sometimes was some of her music.
And so I just when I posted the flyer, I
added in a little personal touch of music from her.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, I meant to reach out to Jay. You see
if you can send me some videos so we can
add on the music video shows the.
Speaker 4 (08:37):

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Okay, Well that that's right there. One stop shot.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
All right, Well, look, you guys have a great show
right here if you need me.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Thanks bat Man, and thank you again for joining us today. Charlotte,
please let our listeners know who you are and what
it is that you do.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Hi. My name is Charlotte Williams, and I am an
international gospel artist. I'm a songwriter, I am a radio
talk show host, and I just love the Lord.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Amen.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
I know it's late at night and in hey, you know,
we could be talking about a whole bunch of other things, but.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
We're talking about you. That's right, Amen.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
The song in the midnight out will God around?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
It's going work with.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Somebody done heard it? I'm believe.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Is that the freed Handy version.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Yep, We're left in the city.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Okay, Okay, that's one of my most cities. My mom
used to drive me to the bus stop every day
on that city and it just stuck.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
It just stuck.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
And I was grateful to be introduced to Fred him
and his music. And right, but not just his music,
it's just the contemporizing of gospel music has become allowed,
you know, and I think it's been allowed for quite
some time now, well maybe more recently when you consider
(10:24):
the history of the gospel music. But I like it
and I like that it can reach different people at
different stages of life and to accomplish the one goal,
and that's to bring them all closeer to Jesus. And
so when I hear your music, I'm like, Wow, she
gets it, you know, and it's so true. But what
(10:47):
is your personal inspiration behind your music?
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Oh? Thank you so much. Well, I have to be
honest with you. I mean, I've always had the gift
of singing and song, but it always wasn't geared towards God.
I started out, you know, doing R and D maybe
thirty years ago, and so I got pregnant with my
(11:13):
daughter and her father and I did not make it.
So I dedicated most of my life to raising her
my adult life, i should say. And so you know,
I just knew deep down in my spirit, you know
that if I could make it through all of this, that,
you know, I would be in that place with God.
(11:34):
But since then, he you know, superseded my expectations and
actually revealed himself to me ool and it was so
ever present that I couldn't deny it. It was just
he does things in a way, you know, when he's
ready to let you know that it's him that you
(11:54):
know for sure without a doubt in your mind, right, no, man,
what you say, Yeah, no confusion exactly. And so I
was just so grateful that I just wanted to serve him,
and I still want to serve him, and I never
(12:16):
want him to leave me. So this is real worship,
you know, for God, because I have personal conversations with Him.
So my personal conversations aren't those songs. He answers me
or in those songs. My walk with the Lord is
all being expressed and some of my thoughts about him
(12:38):
through songs in a real way. So I heard the
Man of God saying traditional, But I don't consider myself
a traditional artist because I don't sing all school like
you know, you hear some of the gospel, however, you
can hear the soul in my voice because those are
the roots you know that I was raised my father.
(12:59):
My father, you know, listen to people like Nat King
Cole and people like I grew up listening to the blues,
Bobby Blue Bland, you know, bb King, you know, and
so I was raised around the Mississippi area, and so
you know, we sing from our heart we don't make
(13:20):
stuff up when we sing, and so everything in the
abundance of your heart, it'll come out. And that's what's
coming out in my worship. And it connects you with
the Spirit of God. That's my prayer because when He
saved me, he gave me an annoying thing, and he
gave me a job and a purpose. So I you know,
(13:41):
I told my pastor one day at that time that
I wanted to just sing, you know, around you know,
the nation, and I mean not the nature. I said,
I just want to, you know, go outside of the
church because I hear God calling me to connect the world.
And he said, why not, just that's the Lord of
(14:01):
things to the nation.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
He said, you're not thinking big enough, right exactly, And
so I said, you know what, light bulb.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
And that's when I knew because the Man of God
know I come from a five fo ministry, and you
know I know that you know what the Man of
God does confirm with God already put in your ferit.
So I already knew it. So all I had to
do was act upon it. And every since I've been
acting upon it, God has been Amen.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Amen to that. I love to have the servant leaders on.
I love when you all come and and just give
them the glory, you know, and and and you are
the shepherds of the common day just just because of
your craft. And so it's always amazing for me, the
creativity the worship, you know, and how we all just
(15:03):
assume the position of praise as soon as we hear it,
as soon as it bites us, as soon as we
hear that that note or that that that rhythm, or
you know, it's always some part of the song that
just grasped you. And so my question to you, you said,
you're you're always a songwriter or good at it. But
(15:25):
when it came down to you wanted to sing the
R and B and then switching back to the gospel,
how did that actually go about?
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Well, like I said, when I have my personal encounter
with God, you redirected my love from loving things that
are carnal, like my man, because that's what I was
singing to my man before. But God became my man. Yeah,
and so he let me know that you know, I'm
(15:58):
not carnal, I'm not a man that I should lie
and you have to worship me and spirit in the truth.
So I had to remove a lot of things, you know,
with his help, distractions, fleshly desires, you know, things of
this world because a Bible say you can't love me,
and it's like enmity towards God. To love the world,
(16:22):
you gotta choose. Are you gonna be spiritual minded or
are you gonna be pronminded? Which one? And so when
a person goes into worship, they have to really, you know,
put themselves in a position to be able to hear
from God and sometimes deny yourself or some of the
things that you know, you love, you know, to hear
(16:46):
from God. You know, sometimes you might have to fast
to get there, meaning you don't have to starve yourself
all day long, but just give up something, you know,
maybe an hour or two a day. Usually it's longer
than that. But I'm just saying, and if you want
to get started, or you might remove something from your
diet and say, you know, this is my sacrifice to
(17:06):
you God, you know, because he requires us to, you know,
try to seek his face and seek him more. And
so as I started removing what He started removing some
things from my life, I started realizing that I had to,
you know, grow up and be more mature in Christ.
(17:27):
And when God calls you, he doesn't. He gives you
requirements with that people you know, and it's not hard.
A lot of people are scared to walk with God
because they think, oh, I don't want to have to
give up so much. But it's not really hard because
if you try to hear him what, he's gentle, you know,
(17:50):
and he lovingly removes things from your life. Sometimes they
might hurt, sometimes you might quiet. You'll be like, why Lord,
because you love that thing so much? But he took
it away from you because it wasn't good for you.
He never let you go through it or allow you
to have what you thought you wanted, because He had
something better for you. So and he, you know, the
(18:13):
Bible says those who he loved he chasing. So if
he gave you that gift, he not gonna let his
word return void. It will come to pass. So you
just have to make yourself willing and open like a
vessel to be able to let him down for his
spirit into you and teach you, because the Bible said
(18:34):
Jesus is the best teacher, better than anybody can. And
that's how I learned. It wasn't something that I taught myself.
I studied the Word so that I could find out
what was pleasing to God. Why because I cared about
(18:57):
what he wanted, and I knew that I had to
work for him. And sometimes we have to be remove
ourselves to get that done. So you know it's not me.
I always pray before I write a song. I ask
the Lord to speak through me. Sometimes I wait before
I eat, just to hear clearly from him. And so
(19:21):
you know, it's a sacrifice, just like Jesus made a sacrifice.
You're not gonna get anything until you become you know, spirituality.
That's how you grow. You have to be spiritual minded.
You also have to have a good leader. Some of
these leaders, but I'm gonna paint the subject real quick.
I love you, but some of you have really let
(19:45):
us down by way of knowing the Word but still
doing what you want to do that part, that part,
and so you know you're leading us astray, and so
that's why we get weak, we give up, you know,
sickness in the church. People don't know that there's power
in the Word of God. Why because you're not giving
(20:07):
the accurate demonstration of showing what you can actually do.
I tell you, if you really really try the Lord
for yourself, study his word and let him reveal himself
to you. It's the best man. When the Lord revealed
himself to me, I said, God, I never want to
(20:27):
be spiritually blind again, never, because I didn't know Jack,
and I had no guidance and I couldn't I didn't
even have discernment. If you know what that means.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I did, and that conviction will pull you in My
question and thank you for giving us that side note
before I ask my question, I want to put you
back on what you just said, because if your house,
and I mean your house where you're said, your church,
your sanctuary, your bishop leadership, and your church if it's scandalous,
(21:03):
if it's mixed up in mess, that may not be
the best place for you to gain that strength. Just
like you said, Charlie, you know, and what I'm grateful
for is that I've been blessed with a church home
where those things are not happening with my top leadership.
I'm not going to say the whole church is clean,
(21:25):
because we're a big church, but I know my leadership
is clean. I know my leadership feeds me. I know
my leadership is scandal free. I know my leadership is
bringing me closer to the message of my Savior, and
so I'm grateful as well when I can have that
in my life. Because people get attached to some of
(21:47):
these pastors and their celebrity and not what they're actually
doing to save folks from this world, to transition folks
back to our Savior.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
They just popular.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
So so you got to watch out people for what
it is that you value. And just like Charlotte told us,
you know, you have to make that decision do you
want to live for God or do you want to
live for the world. And that sacrifice, that continue sacrifice
starts off a little rough, but with determination all things
(22:24):
will work out, especially when God is guiding you through it.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Man. And so we want to mostly put all of
the responsibility on the leader. However, we need to realize
we all have a responsibility and that's where I come
in there. Whatever your gift is, God holds you a
kind of but for you from what He gave you.
He don't expect for you to go be shy about
(22:50):
it or put it under the rug or you know,
of course we know that you're gonna you know, think
as a baby when you were a baby in Christ.
But how long you gonna stay on the baby bottle
to know that you gotta stand up for yourself because
Mama can't go for you to heaven and explain anything
on your behalf. Nobody we can pray for you right
(23:13):
here on earth. But when God asked you, where were you?
Why didn't you? Why did you? How did this happen?
What are you gonna say?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
My mama could tell you right.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Now, that's gonna work, because He's gonna say, I knocked
on your door, okay, that you might have life. I
paid the sacrifice and you need to realize your life
doesn't belong to you. So once I came into the
full knowledge of right and he revealed himself and his
wife to me, I knew what I had to do.
(23:50):
I wasn't confused, and I'm just really just walking out
the rest of my journey. That's all I'm doing. And
I'm hoping that someone else will be blessed by hearing
the things that I went through and the things that
God can do and that He has done for me.
That's what I think about.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
It says here that you are also a community leader
and a mentor is there some type of nonprofit in
the background that we haven't talked about.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Okay, go over there one more time, my son.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
It says that you're a community leader and a mentor.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Oh, a mentor. Okay, No, I don't have a nonprofit. However,
I accept people if they want to sew into my ministry,
they are welcome to do that. I am working on
having I have a show called Let's Talk Gospel, and
I'm working on having it syndicated right now as we speak.
(24:55):
So I interview a lot of people who have been
in gospel, who encourage us, who lead us. And it's
on many different social media platforms. If you looked up
jam Vibes broadcasting network. The Smith helped me with that platform.
I'm on three C TV with Lisa Good out of
(25:17):
North Carolina, and also I'm a radio host with Urban
Influencer Radio. My show comes on every Monday seven pm
ten pm what is the Eastern time, and so you know,
there's a lot of different Wise, I'm on Facebook, all
(25:40):
of my music is on all social media platforms, Apple Music, Spotify,
and YouTube, Amazon Music everywhere, so you know, and if
you want to sell into my ministry, my cash appist
dollars sign sandor in capital s A N D O
R I and I do a lot. I'm a praising
(26:04):
wasship leader at my church, and yes, I do mentor
young artists who are breaking into the music industry, hopefully
providing them the dudes and the downs and just then uh,
you know, an encourager towards them.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
What's your overall advice for that population, Like do you
have some type of boot camp or you know, how
are you helping them out or is it just the
candid conversation to kind of uplift Like what is your message?
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Yeah, I can't really say everything is all the same
because it's on a need to know basics. Everybody's case
is individual. You know, their needs are different. But I
just act as one who the information passes through my
hands and I try to if I know this person
(26:54):
does this, I'll pass them on to that person. If
I know that this person has resources by that person.
And there's a lot of things that I have my
hand in. And you know, someone may just start out.
They need that exposure and they need, you know, platforms
to be heard on if they need. Because I'm with
(27:18):
Gospel East Texas Music professionals and I'm with Gospel Industry
Network and I'm also with GSWC.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
You get a lot writer.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Yeah, so any little information that they might need, you know,
even by getting their music to the next level. Sometimes
you know, you might just have an idea, but you
need somebody to listen to it to let you know,
this might need this, This might need that. Maybe you
need to have a website, have a professional presence. You know,
we all need somebody to hold our hands, you know,
(27:53):
and tell us things we may not know exactly.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
In the industry has changed a lot, and you've been
there for it. What's the biggest change you've noticed in
pulling together the whole package, going from the idea of
the song to writing it to doing all that you
do in the background to get it to us. Do
you think it's simpler now or was it simpler when
(28:17):
you first started.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
I think it all depends on the producer that you choose.
So put, you know, choose your producer wisely, make sure
that they have finished something from start to finish, that
they have evidence of what they have worked on, a
finished product so that you can hear it, and make
(28:41):
sure that there's something called industry standard. So you don't
want to just make you know, singing the shower type music.
You want something that the radios have what they're going
to play. They know how long they want the song
to be, they know the quality of the song. You
can't think they're gonna go play you with Fred Hammond
(29:02):
or Vicki whining when you sound like you know it's
my bode, it's not clear. If you want to make
sure you get with somebody that know what they're doing,
been there, done that. It's gonna make sure they represent
your sound in the best.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Like, hey man, she's giving you that raw, uncut advice.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
I would be taking.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Notes if I was you listen instead of seeing in
I would definitely be taking note.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Okay, because Ms.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Williams is not new to the gospel scene, and that's
what I'm grateful for that you're bringing your expertise to
the game. I'm just curious, though, do you have any
new songs that you would like to promote this evening.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
Well, I'll be honest with you, I am new to gospel.
I've only been been the gospel scene about three years.
Oh yeah, I started like two years ago professionally putting
my music. It just seems like I've been around forever
because of the wealth of knowledge and the doors that
God have opened for me in such a short period
(30:04):
of time. Yeah, but I learned, and I did go
through some some of them blocks to learn. I say,
don't just listen. Listen if y'all are new and putting
music out, don't just go with the first person that
says they're going to help you, because it's shots out
here to take your money, and don't do what they
say they gonna do, you know, I say, try to
(30:26):
do your research, get yourself a team, get somebody to
help you with your social media, get somebody else to
help help you with your music, get somebody else to
help you with your bookings and stuff like that. And
you don't need to be trying to spend all this
money on paying this manager and that manager until you
get the record sales going and the bookings that you need.
(30:47):
Because there's levels to this thing. There's a beginning level,
a second level, then a third level.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I had to learn all.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
This stuff the hard way, I hope not get all
yourself caught writy. Make sure you get your stuff with
ASCAP or BMI. You know, you can make choice which
one you want to go with, but they collect your
royalties for you. You know. It's just a lot to it.
And so I have a website. My website is www
(31:16):
dot Charlotte william Songs dot com. That's where it's at
the end, Charlotte Williamssongs dot com. And you can find
me reach out to me if you need to say
something or want you know, whatever. But for the most part,
I'm just doing what God called me to do, and
that is sing my song, write to him. And I'm
(31:38):
a price and worship you know all the time. I
love President because I love the presence of God. I'd
rather have that than anything.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Amen, I agree, definitely. I agree. You've been giving us
so much advice this evening. I'm grateful for it. Also
put us down to the business side of the music.
Thank you for that. I'm curious now that you're not
singing to your man and you singing to the man,
(32:11):
are you going to continue down this path or would
you still kind of mix up the messica.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
I'm never ever gonna just stop watching him, my Lord,
because he's in me and I'm with him and I
love him, and I know too much about him, you know,
to just walk away. I know there's powering the things
I say, things that I do.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
I would never.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Want him to just leave my side. So I'll be
so careful into making choices, watching how I treat people
reading my word, you know, doing things. Don't when they
say the fear of God, that's what they mean. They
don't mean they don't ever fear him. It just means
try to reverence him and do the things that he likes.
(32:56):
But in answer to your question, I'm always God is
always pouring songs into me. I can't do them all,
but I've done a whole lot. I have a new
I just released what a Great God, Uh, featuring the
other Dempster, and yeah, that one is really nice. I
(33:20):
just did a song with Michael Robinson called It's Already
Spoken on Your Plan and he knew who I was
running the beginning and that's what that song said. It's
powerful and but I'm about okay Christmas song, So I'm
a really you know, let's y'all listen to this holiday
again for Christmas. But as soon as Christmas time is
(33:42):
out with, I have some new production that I did
with Calvin Cooper out of Connecticut, and it's called Jesus
You're My Everything, and it was you all the time,
That's what that's the name of the other one. So yeah,
be on the lookout for those two great songs. And
(34:02):
then I did I have a song that I'm going
to release as well with Birdcross too, and it's called
I've Come to Know Jesus.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Well, that's the react about you.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
I'm excited here and you're just gonna be hitting them
in the head this season, that seas and that season
very relevant, very present.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
I love it, love it so much.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
You know, there was a portion in the show that
I normally allowed people to not allow, but I asked
our interviewers, interviewees to go ahead and plug all their
work behind it.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
You came in, plug in. But if there's anything.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
That you would like to tell us again, or maybe
you miss something, please take this opportunity to help our
listeners or if they just then how can they find you,
how can they support you?
Speaker 5 (34:56):
Well, they can support me back. Want to say, Amazon
download my music? Like I said, dollar Sign Sandorian, that's
my cash app. I appreciate just hearing comments. You may
not have a financial listen, but just hey, you on
the right track, you know, keep going everything that you
(35:20):
do towards the Kingdom of God. It matters, and just
you could go, you know, like my page on YouTube,
like my page on Facebook. I'm on Facebook. You know
you could follow me there. So any little thing that
you do just to you know, give up, make me smile.
(35:41):
Let me know you like what I'm doing. You support
what I'm doing is appreciate.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
It, and thank you again for sharing. Do you have
any last words? I'm wondering. Are you hanging out with me?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Me?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
I'm doing some editing.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
What did meet me wearing today? Batman? Was she cute?
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Yeah? Today she had a little pink, little pink, little
sweat and it was cool this morning we took our walks,
little the lore.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
Sweating, Charlie.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
I'm sorry to ask, but you gotta see how he
dresses me.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
You got to see it. See you see what I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Got she wearing football jerseys?
Speaker 5 (36:40):
You know?
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Me? Me is just a regular person. She gets up,
she gets dressed like we all do. And that's just
so cute to me.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
I always I'm always like, what is me me wearing
one of those cute little left dogs.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
She was trying to get down here today to listen
to the show. No question, there's no question. Enjoyed the interview.
Sound like Charlotte has her thing going on. But the
main thing is just keep you know, just keep praising
the Lord and and go to people where they are
because people are in pretty bad places right now and
(37:15):
they need to hear someone praise the Lord despite what
they're going through or despite where they came from. So
that's the main thing being a witness.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Agree, completely agree, Charlotte. Would you mind praying us out
this evening?
Speaker 5 (37:32):
You talking to me or talking? Oh okay, I just
want to say when you can see with don't walk
off sight. You gotta walk by. Say that faith is
something you cannot see when you pray.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Just really, and so.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
You call, I know you'll be bare.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
To kick you up.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
He'll take you up when you're fall bevers, No need
to u.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
Hear me me me fall change in my life. Just
let him walk in. I know you might be feeling
like you don't know whether you're going or you're coming,
but just walk by face, don't walk by what you see,
(38:41):
because God ways is not our ways, and He's always
went through that's for good news. He'll never leave you.
He'll never forsake you, will stay by your side. I
pray this radio station keeps continuing to do well, you know.
I pray for everybody you know, just listening, whatever you're
going through. I pray the Lord meet you right there
(39:04):
and bring you through. I thank you the Lord for
his spirit and you for having a willing ear to
listen to what the Spirit has to say, taking the
time to support me my platform, and these wonderful people
of God who take their time to let us talk
(39:24):
about the work of God on their platform. And I
just pray that you know, you just get the strength
to reading the word of God and know that God
cares about you. Thank you in the name of Jesus.

Appreciate you guys tuning in. We got a great, great

She's a powerhouse gospel artist. We just got to listen
to her music. Man, powerful stuff. Man took me back, man,
the old old school church man, real praise and worship. Yeah,
(01:23):

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, yes, how about the Baltimore Ravens in the in
the in the Washington command is doing that thing? Think
crime has been lower in both areas too.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Okay, we'll give us something to do, dangy people, something
to cheer about.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I was watching this something, this video blog. This guy
does outside the stadium. He goes in there, in there too,
but he interviews people and Baltimore fans, but they're they're there.
They don't have no humbleness, they're hard. It's like, you know,
they was talking about.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
The football world. You know.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, first I thought fans are a little humbled than that,
because you know, at our job, we try to show
a little bit of courtesy, you know, to the other
NFC fans, you know, cause we got some scanty Bengal fans,
Pittsburgh fans, so we try to be nice on them.
Fight don't break out and people get fired.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
At the rival games specifically, they are, but.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
The fans coming home, especially because he was talking about
the haters. You know, it's a lot of mare haters
out there, and mostly is the national media because a
lot of those guys were former football stars, you know,
and they're not you know, they can't lights it up.
And I understand, you know, you got out the game.
Your mind is still there, but your body just can't
do it no more. So they do show some hate. Now,
I was watching Wanna you know, he two time MVP
(03:03):
won the Super Bowl, came out of Arena football, you know,
he took the NFL about stormy years ago. He's around
ninety nine, two thousand and one, and he started out
right critiquing you know, Lamar's play play by play. But
a lot of people took it as hate. But he
said he really was helping him, you know, because he
could see that he had the potential to be the
(03:23):
greatest quarterback of all time. That's what we're talking about.
Is crazy. Yeah, I mean he was pretty cool. I've
been watching his little blog and you know, he was
just showing some of the things he's doing really good. Now,
you know he's doing. But the thing about the people
gotta look at he ain't had no help, and he
had ejected up offensive coordinator for years, you know, so.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
We never was disappointed in him. We saw a lot
of potential quarterback. He just needed to write that. He
just needs to write pieces around you. You know, let's take
time sometime for them to build around. I mean, look
at Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I remember Tom Brady was drafted like in the seventh
round or something like that. They say his potential. Yeah,
and look where they got him with the right coach,
and look where he became, you know, came to go
the greatest of all times. Anyway, it's football world, and
you know, you gotta love it. You gotta love it.
Especially having YouTube. You get a chance to see what's
(04:24):
being said and what's being done in other cities. And
like my wife said, when you gonna go to a game,
I said, well, yeah, no, it's gonna get cold. But
the thing about I just don't like to travel there.
You know, the traffic. Then you gotta find a parking space.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
And you know, so it's tailgate.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah I like that. Yeah, if I go, if I
can get with my old crew, because I think they
still tailgating, I wouldn't mind if I can give it.
But they drink hard.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Though you don't have to match their drink to have
a good time.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Go y'all habits and get into your mind.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Well then you know what, live it up because you
don't do it every day. Don get live it up.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, I'm getting the ticket soon, and you know, get
out there and yell and scream and go crazy. I
don't know. Sometime I just enjoyed just sitting back in
the comfort of my my media room and the bathroom,
and I feel like I can get there in second.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
No one says you had to go to every game.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I might make it happen. Make it happen, Yeah, make
it happen.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
The viewers would like to see your excitement.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, man, but I mean I've been to so many
of them. You know. It's like you that's kind of
out of your time.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
You've been to the stadium.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Guy saying, I think I went to every game for
like five years.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Oh oh, my bad, bad man. I'm over here thinking
I'm talking to a rookie.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I was there the whole Coyle Bowler Flaco era. Yeah, wow,
I didn't. I didn't make it. I wasn't there like
when we moved here. I guess around twenty I'm sorry. Yeah,
two thousand and six or seven or something like this,
when my ticket my able my ability to get tickets
were starting to get thin because you know, you're not
(06:21):
in there. Yeah, because I had my connects were kind
of you know, waving off then. Anyway, I'm excited for
you to have this guest tonight, everybody. Charlotte Williams. Yeah,
it's gonna be great to listen to. I mean they
talked to her. They really turned up a lot in
(06:41):
her bio. Man, she's very traditional and I can hear
that traditional sound, you know, and both her and her
performers that was in the song that track, and I
was like, man, they really live it up. They can
go like a whole thirty minutes with that one song.
People be happy.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I love a good word, So come on, bring on
the extended times.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Just let it go people, people feeling this is this
is some challenging times. Man, when we're in there, we're
in political climbing. That's off the chart. We got we
got a basketball season coming up, so some people teams,
it's not the teams they thought it was gonna be.
So people. I think people are happy about their baseball
team didn't make it to the World series, a little
(07:26):
stress going on with people, and then some people teams
are sorry they only got two wins in the NFL. Anyway,
let's talk to Charlotte. Maybe she can shed some light
on this world. What's up, Charlotte Williams. Welcome to Late
Night with Jervys Love Worldwide and Kelly Hole. How you
doing tonight?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
I'm going so wonderful. Hi guys, thank you so much
for having me.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Oh happy to have you. Trust we are.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I was lucky enough to hear some of your music
on social media today, so I just I couldn't wait.
I said, I want to hear the person behind this
powerful message.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I want to have a conversation with her.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
That's right. So you got a chance to give her
some spends you on Spotify?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
No, I found some of her videos. She has original audio,
and so her original audio sometimes was some of her music.
And so I just when I posted the flyer, I
added in a little personal touch of music from her.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, I meant to reach out to Jay. You see
if you can send me some videos so we can
add on the music video shows the.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Song we have tonight though, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
You can.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Okay, Well that that's right there. One stop shot.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
All right, Well, look, you guys have a great show
right here if you need me.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Thanks bat Man, and thank you again for joining us today. Charlotte,
please let our listeners know who you are and what
it is that you do.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Hi. My name is Charlotte Williams, and I am an
international gospel artist. I'm a songwriter, I am a radio
talk show host, and I just love the Lord.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Amen.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
I know it's late at night and in hey, you know,
we could be talking about a whole bunch of other things, but.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
We're talking about you. That's right, Amen.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
The song in the midnight out will God around?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
It's going work with.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Somebody done heard it? I'm believe.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Is that the freed Handy version.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Yep, We're left in the city.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Okay, Okay, that's one of my most cities. My mom
used to drive me to the bus stop every day
on that city and it just stuck.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
It just stuck.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
And I was grateful to be introduced to Fred him
and his music. And right, but not just his music,
it's just the contemporizing of gospel music has become allowed,
you know, and I think it's been allowed for quite
some time now, well maybe more recently when you consider
(10:24):
the history of the gospel music. But I like it
and I like that it can reach different people at
different stages of life and to accomplish the one goal,
and that's to bring them all closeer to Jesus. And
so when I hear your music, I'm like, Wow, she
gets it, you know, and it's so true. But what
(10:47):
is your personal inspiration behind your music?
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Oh? Thank you so much. Well, I have to be
honest with you. I mean, I've always had the gift
of singing and song, but it always wasn't geared towards God.
I started out, you know, doing R and D maybe
thirty years ago, and so I got pregnant with my
(11:13):
daughter and her father and I did not make it.
So I dedicated most of my life to raising her
my adult life, i should say. And so you know,
I just knew deep down in my spirit, you know
that if I could make it through all of this, that,
you know, I would be in that place with God.
(11:34):
But since then, he you know, superseded my expectations and
actually revealed himself to me ool and it was so
ever present that I couldn't deny it. It was just
he does things in a way, you know, when he's
ready to let you know that it's him that you
(11:54):
know for sure without a doubt in your mind, right, no, man,
what you say, Yeah, no confusion exactly. And so I
was just so grateful that I just wanted to serve him,
and I still want to serve him, and I never
(12:16):
want him to leave me. So this is real worship,
you know, for God, because I have personal conversations with Him.
So my personal conversations aren't those songs. He answers me
or in those songs. My walk with the Lord is
all being expressed and some of my thoughts about him
(12:38):
through songs in a real way. So I heard the
Man of God saying traditional, But I don't consider myself
a traditional artist because I don't sing all school like
you know, you hear some of the gospel, however, you
can hear the soul in my voice because those are
the roots you know that I was raised my father.
(12:59):
My father, you know, listen to people like Nat King
Cole and people like I grew up listening to the blues,
Bobby Blue Bland, you know, bb King, you know, and
so I was raised around the Mississippi area, and so
you know, we sing from our heart we don't make
(13:20):
stuff up when we sing, and so everything in the
abundance of your heart, it'll come out. And that's what's
coming out in my worship. And it connects you with
the Spirit of God. That's my prayer because when He
saved me, he gave me an annoying thing, and he
gave me a job and a purpose. So I you know,
(13:41):
I told my pastor one day at that time that
I wanted to just sing, you know, around you know,
the nation, and I mean not the nature. I said,
I just want to, you know, go outside of the
church because I hear God calling me to connect the world.
And he said, why not, just that's the Lord of
(14:01):
things to the nation.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
He said, you're not thinking big enough, right exactly, And
so I said, you know what, light bulb.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
And that's when I knew because the Man of God
know I come from a five fo ministry, and you
know I know that you know what the Man of
God does confirm with God already put in your ferit.
So I already knew it. So all I had to
do was act upon it. And every since I've been
acting upon it, God has been Amen.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Amen to that. I love to have the servant leaders on.
I love when you all come and and just give
them the glory, you know, and and and you are
the shepherds of the common day just just because of
your craft. And so it's always amazing for me, the
creativity the worship, you know, and how we all just
(15:03):
assume the position of praise as soon as we hear it,
as soon as it bites us, as soon as we
hear that that note or that that that rhythm, or
you know, it's always some part of the song that
just grasped you. And so my question to you, you said,
you're you're always a songwriter or good at it. But
(15:25):
when it came down to you wanted to sing the
R and B and then switching back to the gospel,
how did that actually go about?
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Well, like I said, when I have my personal encounter
with God, you redirected my love from loving things that
are carnal, like my man, because that's what I was
singing to my man before. But God became my man. Yeah,
and so he let me know that you know, I'm
(15:58):
not carnal, I'm not a man that I should lie
and you have to worship me and spirit in the truth.
So I had to remove a lot of things, you know,
with his help, distractions, fleshly desires, you know, things of
this world because a Bible say you can't love me,
and it's like enmity towards God. To love the world,
(16:22):
you gotta choose. Are you gonna be spiritual minded or
are you gonna be pronminded? Which one? And so when
a person goes into worship, they have to really, you know,
put themselves in a position to be able to hear
from God and sometimes deny yourself or some of the
things that you know, you love, you know, to hear
(16:46):
from God. You know, sometimes you might have to fast
to get there, meaning you don't have to starve yourself
all day long, but just give up something, you know,
maybe an hour or two a day. Usually it's longer
than that. But I'm just saying, and if you want
to get started, or you might remove something from your
diet and say, you know, this is my sacrifice to
(17:06):
you God, you know, because he requires us to, you know,
try to seek his face and seek him more. And
so as I started removing what He started removing some
things from my life, I started realizing that I had to,
you know, grow up and be more mature in Christ.
(17:27):
And when God calls you, he doesn't. He gives you
requirements with that people you know, and it's not hard.
A lot of people are scared to walk with God
because they think, oh, I don't want to have to
give up so much. But it's not really hard because
if you try to hear him what, he's gentle, you know,
(17:50):
and he lovingly removes things from your life. Sometimes they
might hurt, sometimes you might quiet. You'll be like, why Lord,
because you love that thing so much? But he took
it away from you because it wasn't good for you.
He never let you go through it or allow you
to have what you thought you wanted, because He had
something better for you. So and he, you know, the
(18:13):
Bible says those who he loved he chasing. So if
he gave you that gift, he not gonna let his
word return void. It will come to pass. So you
just have to make yourself willing and open like a
vessel to be able to let him down for his
spirit into you and teach you, because the Bible said
(18:34):
Jesus is the best teacher, better than anybody can. And
that's how I learned. It wasn't something that I taught myself.
I studied the Word so that I could find out
what was pleasing to God. Why because I cared about
(18:57):
what he wanted, and I knew that I had to
work for him. And sometimes we have to be remove
ourselves to get that done. So you know it's not me.
I always pray before I write a song. I ask
the Lord to speak through me. Sometimes I wait before
I eat, just to hear clearly from him. And so
(19:21):
you know, it's a sacrifice, just like Jesus made a sacrifice.
You're not gonna get anything until you become you know, spirituality.
That's how you grow. You have to be spiritual minded.
You also have to have a good leader. Some of
these leaders, but I'm gonna paint the subject real quick.
I love you, but some of you have really let
(19:45):
us down by way of knowing the Word but still
doing what you want to do that part, that part,
and so you know you're leading us astray, and so
that's why we get weak, we give up, you know,
sickness in the church. People don't know that there's power
in the Word of God. Why because you're not giving
(20:07):
the accurate demonstration of showing what you can actually do.
I tell you, if you really really try the Lord
for yourself, study his word and let him reveal himself
to you. It's the best man. When the Lord revealed
himself to me, I said, God, I never want to
(20:27):
be spiritually blind again, never, because I didn't know Jack,
and I had no guidance and I couldn't I didn't
even have discernment. If you know what that means.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I did, and that conviction will pull you in My
question and thank you for giving us that side note
before I ask my question, I want to put you
back on what you just said, because if your house,
and I mean your house where you're said, your church,
your sanctuary, your bishop leadership, and your church if it's scandalous,
(21:03):
if it's mixed up in mess, that may not be
the best place for you to gain that strength. Just
like you said, Charlie, you know, and what I'm grateful
for is that I've been blessed with a church home
where those things are not happening with my top leadership.
I'm not going to say the whole church is clean,
(21:25):
because we're a big church, but I know my leadership
is clean. I know my leadership feeds me. I know
my leadership is scandal free. I know my leadership is
bringing me closer to the message of my Savior, and
so I'm grateful as well when I can have that
in my life. Because people get attached to some of
(21:47):
these pastors and their celebrity and not what they're actually
doing to save folks from this world, to transition folks
back to our Savior.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
They just popular.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
So so you got to watch out people for what
it is that you value. And just like Charlotte told us,
you know, you have to make that decision do you
want to live for God or do you want to
live for the world. And that sacrifice, that continue sacrifice
starts off a little rough, but with determination all things
(22:24):
will work out, especially when God is guiding you through it.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Man. And so we want to mostly put all of
the responsibility on the leader. However, we need to realize
we all have a responsibility and that's where I come
in there. Whatever your gift is, God holds you a
kind of but for you from what He gave you.
He don't expect for you to go be shy about
(22:50):
it or put it under the rug or you know,
of course we know that you're gonna you know, think
as a baby when you were a baby in Christ.
But how long you gonna stay on the baby bottle
to know that you gotta stand up for yourself because
Mama can't go for you to heaven and explain anything
on your behalf. Nobody we can pray for you right
(23:13):
here on earth. But when God asked you, where were you?
Why didn't you? Why did you? How did this happen?
What are you gonna say?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
My mama could tell you right.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Now, that's gonna work, because He's gonna say, I knocked
on your door, okay, that you might have life. I
paid the sacrifice and you need to realize your life
doesn't belong to you. So once I came into the
full knowledge of right and he revealed himself and his
wife to me, I knew what I had to do.
(23:50):
I wasn't confused, and I'm just really just walking out
the rest of my journey. That's all I'm doing. And
I'm hoping that someone else will be blessed by hearing
the things that I went through and the things that
God can do and that He has done for me.
That's what I think about.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
It says here that you are also a community leader
and a mentor is there some type of nonprofit in
the background that we haven't talked about.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Okay, go over there one more time, my son.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
It says that you're a community leader and a mentor.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Oh, a mentor. Okay, No, I don't have a nonprofit. However,
I accept people if they want to sew into my ministry,
they are welcome to do that. I am working on
having I have a show called Let's Talk Gospel, and
I'm working on having it syndicated right now as we speak.
(24:55):
So I interview a lot of people who have been
in gospel, who encourage us, who lead us. And it's
on many different social media platforms. If you looked up
jam Vibes broadcasting network. The Smith helped me with that platform.
I'm on three C TV with Lisa Good out of
(25:17):
North Carolina, and also I'm a radio host with Urban
Influencer Radio. My show comes on every Monday seven pm
ten pm what is the Eastern time, and so you know,
there's a lot of different Wise, I'm on Facebook, all
(25:40):
of my music is on all social media platforms, Apple Music, Spotify,
and YouTube, Amazon Music everywhere, so you know, and if
you want to sell into my ministry, my cash appist
dollars sign sandor in capital s A N D O
R I and I do a lot. I'm a praising
(26:04):
wasship leader at my church, and yes, I do mentor
young artists who are breaking into the music industry, hopefully
providing them the dudes and the downs and just then uh,
you know, an encourager towards them.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
What's your overall advice for that population, Like do you
have some type of boot camp or you know, how
are you helping them out or is it just the
candid conversation to kind of uplift Like what is your message?
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Yeah, I can't really say everything is all the same
because it's on a need to know basics. Everybody's case
is individual. You know, their needs are different. But I
just act as one who the information passes through my
hands and I try to if I know this person
(26:54):
does this, I'll pass them on to that person. If
I know that this person has resources by that person.
And there's a lot of things that I have my
hand in. And you know, someone may just start out.
They need that exposure and they need, you know, platforms
to be heard on if they need. Because I'm with
(27:18):
Gospel East Texas Music professionals and I'm with Gospel Industry
Network and I'm also with GSWC.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
You get a lot writer.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Yeah, so any little information that they might need, you know,
even by getting their music to the next level. Sometimes
you know, you might just have an idea, but you
need somebody to listen to it to let you know,
this might need this, This might need that. Maybe you
need to have a website, have a professional presence. You know,
we all need somebody to hold our hands, you know,
(27:53):
and tell us things we may not know exactly.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
In the industry has changed a lot, and you've been
there for it. What's the biggest change you've noticed in
pulling together the whole package, going from the idea of
the song to writing it to doing all that you
do in the background to get it to us. Do
you think it's simpler now or was it simpler when
(28:17):
you first started.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
I think it all depends on the producer that you choose.
So put, you know, choose your producer wisely, make sure
that they have finished something from start to finish, that
they have evidence of what they have worked on, a
finished product so that you can hear it, and make
(28:41):
sure that there's something called industry standard. So you don't
want to just make you know, singing the shower type music.
You want something that the radios have what they're going
to play. They know how long they want the song
to be, they know the quality of the song. You
can't think they're gonna go play you with Fred Hammond
(29:02):
or Vicki whining when you sound like you know it's
my bode, it's not clear. If you want to make
sure you get with somebody that know what they're doing,
been there, done that. It's gonna make sure they represent
your sound in the best.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Like, hey man, she's giving you that raw, uncut advice.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
I would be taking.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Notes if I was you listen instead of seeing in
I would definitely be taking note.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Okay, because Ms.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Williams is not new to the gospel scene, and that's
what I'm grateful for that you're bringing your expertise to
the game. I'm just curious, though, do you have any
new songs that you would like to promote this evening.
Speaker 5 (29:43):
Well, I'll be honest with you, I am new to gospel.
I've only been been the gospel scene about three years.
Oh yeah, I started like two years ago professionally putting
my music. It just seems like I've been around forever
because of the wealth of knowledge and the doors that
God have opened for me in such a short period
(30:04):
of time. Yeah, but I learned, and I did go
through some some of them blocks to learn. I say,
don't just listen. Listen if y'all are new and putting
music out, don't just go with the first person that
says they're going to help you, because it's shots out
here to take your money, and don't do what they
say they gonna do, you know, I say, try to
(30:26):
do your research, get yourself a team, get somebody to
help you with your social media, get somebody else to
help help you with your music, get somebody else to
help you with your bookings and stuff like that. And
you don't need to be trying to spend all this
money on paying this manager and that manager until you
get the record sales going and the bookings that you need.
(30:47):
Because there's levels to this thing. There's a beginning level,
a second level, then a third level.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I had to learn all.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
This stuff the hard way, I hope not get all
yourself caught writy. Make sure you get your stuff with
ASCAP or BMI. You know, you can make choice which
one you want to go with, but they collect your
royalties for you. You know. It's just a lot to it.
And so I have a website. My website is www
(31:16):
dot Charlotte william Songs dot com. That's where it's at
the end, Charlotte Williamssongs dot com. And you can find
me reach out to me if you need to say
something or want you know, whatever. But for the most part,
I'm just doing what God called me to do, and
that is sing my song, write to him. And I'm
(31:38):
a price and worship you know all the time. I
love President because I love the presence of God. I'd
rather have that than anything.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Amen.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Amen, I agree, definitely. I agree. You've been giving us
so much advice this evening. I'm grateful for it. Also
put us down to the business side of the music.
Thank you for that. I'm curious now that you're not
singing to your man and you singing to the man,
(32:11):
are you going to continue down this path or would
you still kind of mix up the messica.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
I'm never ever gonna just stop watching him, my Lord,
because he's in me and I'm with him and I
love him, and I know too much about him, you know,
to just walk away. I know there's powering the things
I say, things that I do.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
I would never.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Want him to just leave my side. So I'll be
so careful into making choices, watching how I treat people
reading my word, you know, doing things. Don't when they
say the fear of God, that's what they mean. They
don't mean they don't ever fear him. It just means
try to reverence him and do the things that he likes.
(32:56):
But in answer to your question, I'm always God is
always pouring songs into me. I can't do them all,
but I've done a whole lot. I have a new
I just released what a Great God, Uh, featuring the
other Dempster, and yeah, that one is really nice. I
(33:20):
just did a song with Michael Robinson called It's Already
Spoken on Your Plan and he knew who I was
running the beginning and that's what that song said. It's
powerful and but I'm about okay Christmas song, So I'm
a really you know, let's y'all listen to this holiday
again for Christmas. But as soon as Christmas time is
(33:42):
out with, I have some new production that I did
with Calvin Cooper out of Connecticut, and it's called Jesus
You're My Everything, and it was you all the time,
That's what that's the name of the other one. So yeah,
be on the lookout for those two great songs. And
(34:02):
then I did I have a song that I'm going
to release as well with Birdcross too, and it's called
I've Come to Know Jesus.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Well, that's the react about you.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
I'm excited here and you're just gonna be hitting them
in the head this season, that seas and that season
very relevant, very present.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
I love it, love it so much.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
You know, there was a portion in the show that
I normally allowed people to not allow, but I asked
our interviewers, interviewees to go ahead and plug all their
work behind it.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
You came in, plug in. But if there's anything.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
That you would like to tell us again, or maybe
you miss something, please take this opportunity to help our
listeners or if they just then how can they find you,
how can they support you?
Speaker 5 (34:56):
Well, they can support me back. Want to say, Amazon
download my music? Like I said, dollar Sign Sandorian, that's
my cash app. I appreciate just hearing comments. You may
not have a financial listen, but just hey, you on
the right track, you know, keep going everything that you
(35:20):
do towards the Kingdom of God. It matters, and just
you could go, you know, like my page on YouTube,
like my page on Facebook. I'm on Facebook. You know
you could follow me there. So any little thing that
you do just to you know, give up, make me smile.
(35:41):
Let me know you like what I'm doing. You support
what I'm doing is appreciate.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
It, and thank you again for sharing. Do you have
any last words? I'm wondering. Are you hanging out with me?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Me?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
I'm doing some editing.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
What did meet me wearing today? Batman? Was she cute?
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Yeah? Today she had a little pink, little pink, little
sweat and it was cool this morning we took our walks,
little the lore.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
Sweating, Charlie.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
I'm sorry to ask, but you gotta see how he
dresses me.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
You got to see it. See you see what I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Got she wearing football jerseys?
Speaker 5 (36:40):
You know?
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Me? Me is just a regular person. She gets up,
she gets dressed like we all do. And that's just
so cute to me.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
I always I'm always like, what is me me wearing
one of those cute little left dogs.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
She was trying to get down here today to listen
to the show. No question, there's no question. Enjoyed the interview.
Sound like Charlotte has her thing going on. But the
main thing is just keep you know, just keep praising
the Lord and and go to people where they are
because people are in pretty bad places right now and
(37:15):
they need to hear someone praise the Lord despite what
they're going through or despite where they came from. So
that's the main thing being a witness.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Agree, completely agree, Charlotte. Would you mind praying us out
this evening?
Speaker 5 (37:32):
You talking to me or talking? Oh okay, I just
want to say when you can see with don't walk
off sight. You gotta walk by. Say that faith is
something you cannot see when you pray.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Just really, and so.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
You call, I know you'll be bare.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
To kick you up.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
He'll take you up when you're fall bevers, No need
to u.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
Hear me me me fall change in my life. Just
let him walk in. I know you might be feeling
like you don't know whether you're going or you're coming,
but just walk by face, don't walk by what you see,
(38:41):
because God ways is not our ways, and He's always
went through that's for good news. He'll never leave you.
He'll never forsake you, will stay by your side. I
pray this radio station keeps continuing to do well, you know.
I pray for everybody you know, just listening, whatever you're
going through. I pray the Lord meet you right there
(39:04):
and bring you through. I thank you the Lord for
his spirit and you for having a willing ear to
listen to what the Spirit has to say, taking the
time to support me my platform, and these wonderful people
of God who take their time to let us talk
(39:24):
about the work of God on their platform. And I
just pray that you know, you just get the strength

cares about you. Thank you in the name of Jesus.
