    Andrae Crouch & The Disciples-\”I Don\’t Know Why\”

    Apparently it’s Andrae Crouch week on my web page.  I just can’t help myself, every night this week I’ve been editing video I shot with Andrae last month.  Hearing the group together again for the first time in more than 35 years was filled with so many great moments that I just keep wanting to hear more.  Which means I just keep putting together more videos and then posting them for everyone to hear.

    Not only did original Disciples members Sandra Crouch, Perry Morgan, and Bili Thedford show up for the afternoon jam session, but two members of Andrae’s old backup band were also present, Bill Maxwell on drums and Hadley Hockensmith on guitar.  And as an added bonus the legendary bass play Abraham Laboriel dropped by to play on a couple of numbers.  This video of, “I Don’t Know Why” near the end of the song has a couple of awesome solos from Hadley and Abe.  Another reminder of why Andrae & the Disciples were so far ahead of everyone else in Gospel music at the time.

    Also on this video Andrae had Sue, one of the singers from his church, join in on the vocals.  Enjoy.
