For better or worse, I've always been ready to change,

We were on the same bill as this other blind group, Jackson Harmony, from Mississippi, ... Well, the promoter decided to bill it as 'the blind boys of Alabama against the blind boys of Mississippi.' The crowd loved us, the name stuck, and things took off for us.

So we started singing, and eventually we began to think we had something special. I thought we could sing as well as The Golden Gate Quartet, and if they could go out in the world and do it, well, so could we.

Ben Harper came to us with some gospel songs in mind, and that worked. I thought that was a good idea to cut it with a rock 'n' roll guy because that shows he knew something about the Lord. We liked him and he liked us, and that made it better.

That play was a hit from jump street, ... That changed our world forever.

And when you are serving the Lord, you go where he takes you without fear.
