BROADCAST SELECTION: "Stretch Out", Delores 'Honey' Sykes

Remember Sunday 'night' church? This is how it was under Apostle Dr. Richard D. Henton, at any given Sunday evening service. Only a scant number of large Pentecostal churches now even hold in the PM on weekends. Nevertheless, Delores "Honey" Sykes, formerly of the Chicago Duncanaires, delivers her all in this song, which pulls this congregation 'into the aisles' at this rendition. This was the only time in nearly 25 years of live broadcasting that Pastor Henton 'reacted' to the choir's selection in his microphone on-air. The Spirit was so high, I don't even think he got to his sermon afterwards! Again, my father Lee Spearman directed this 1996 live radio broadcast/telecast of the Breakthrough Hour. Eric Jackson is operating the hand-held camera. Linda Goodwin uses the main camera, and Teddy Simmons mans camera one. Camera two, was perched on the roof (my idea for great overheads in absense of a jib, until we moved to a new location in 1998). The announcer here is my mother Florida Spearman. The late Steve Ross directs, Willie Harmon and Larry Robinson organ and piano, Leander Taylor is on the drums, John Henton plays bass, and in the audience on the front row is the First Lady Carolyn D. Henton wearing royal blue.
