Yes. I want to know who that was on the piano. It reminds me of the pastor's daughter when I was growing up - absolutely identical style and the last time I heard Sheri Benvenuti play was over 50 years ago. I am desperate to know who that was. They transported me to a wonderful place. I cried my head off.

Yes Thomas Dorsey truly a genius. They did a documentary on him a few years back. He said he was at work and they called for him to come home. When he got there and waiting for news from the doctor I believe the baby died first and then his wife. He said he just sit down on the couch and said precious Lord take my hand. It was on channel 9.

This song ""Precious Lord", always brings me to tears. Both of my favorite aunts died in 2001 to cancer months apart. At the loss my aunt who was a head nurse in Los Angeles, I was a mess tryiing to get to California, crying throughout the trip, I had to fly to pack up my Grandmother who was in her 80s at the time, from Florida and take her to California bury her youngest daughter...my Father had died of an anueyrism years before....At the grave site, after the church service, out of nowhere, a deacon started singing this song in the most heartfelt soulful manner, not a dry eye was to be seen, it was spontaneous and I will NEVER forget the comfort it brought to all of us saying goodbye to this wonderful woman, who cared for so many patients in her career. God Bless Jennifer Holiday who I saw in Dream Girls in NYC back in the 1980s, you have Honored Rep. John Lewis, who will be forever beloved to all of us.
