I give Donnie mad props fr acknowledging Lynette Hawkins-Stephens contribution to Gospel...she is so underrated!! I always looked forward to a new hawkins release because i knew there would be a song that Lynette would just rip to shreds..lol All of Walter's songs are as timely as they are timeless...RIP I pray that the last Family tour that took place in 07 (?) will be made available for DVD release sometime soon... God bless.
Lynette I miss you so much! I'll always remember Walter's hospitality when he threw our "Raisin" cast a party at his house. I grew up listening to the Hawkins. They blessed me in so many ways.
Now this is RESPECT for the true Gospel pioneers! Way to give props Donnie. Totally agree, Lynette is very significant in Gospel Music history.
