JoeyDeFrancesco Interview September 6, 2005 - Gospel Met Jazz Organ

This interview with Joey DeFrancesco was done when Joey, Papa John DeFrancesco, and 4 Gospel Organists came together for 1 day at the Hammond Organ Center which was located in Woodlyn, PA.
Joey was very giving in sharing his talent with others while learning from others as well. This interview hopefully gives you a little insight into Joey as a person and his love for the Organ.
Fred Blain of WNAP Gospel Highway 11, who is also an organist, interviewed "Papa" John, P J Morgan, John Peters, Eddie Howard, Jr, Clay Bogan, III, and Steven Eaklor

Thank you for this interview 🙏🏽 I am lucky to say, I met Joey and Gloria in 2005 at a gig, in St. Louis, mo and the great Houston person introduced me and my boyfriend, kevin Frazee to Joey and Gloria 💚
I was mesmerized, and could not speak much when meeting them. I and kevin were in aw with Joey and Houston, both giants of music 🙏🏽 thank you Joey for bringing back the hammond b3 organ 🎹 Gloria just uploaded the most amazing tune Joey did, how great thou art, check it out, so appropriate for today, Thanksgiving day, 2023 💚 love and miss you Joey D, your the best, and Gloria thank you for those videos you uploaded🙏🏽 Joey was so right about organist sounding sterile, cold with no soul who are nasty and just screaming on the organ. Kevin played drums with Houston person an one amazing weekend in Kansas City, mo at Bobby’s on broadway, after their gig we drove to the Louie to see Joey and Houston play together, it was the best road trip for a gig, plus the Louie is amazing, the hill 🇮🇹🍕🍝 Kevin Frazee passed from Covid a year before Joey, he played with a great organist, Chris Hazelton, check him and kevin out on UA-cam they have many great tracks, love Kansas City organ jazz 🎹💚🌈
