They can talk all they want. He is the SOLE reason that I have 33 keyboard instruments in my home collection, including two Hammond organs, each with their own Leslies, three acoustic pianos, two vintage Rhodes electric (Not electronic) pianos, one vintage electric Wurlitzer piano and many modern and vintage synthesizers and keyboards - three independednt sound systems, two dedicated music computers, two 24 channel mixers and much more. I watched Phil play from when I was 2 weeks old and he was 9 yrs. old until his family moved from Hannibal to Chicago. Until I went to another church decades later, I had no idea that there was any other way to play a Hammond organ!
I think people and especially so called Christians have to understand God does not save us because of our gifts. You have to have a personal relationship with God. Only God can give you the ears and eyes and heart to hear, see, and receive that divine relationship.
I am so sorry about his passing. I could listen to him play all day too, especially since I love that spiritual church sound! I never knew him or knew of him, but do know he was a FORCE TO BE RECONED WITH on the organ. He could sing too. SMH! His playing knocks your socks off! LMAO (corny and pun intended) RIP Bishop Willis.
There's only one Bishop that I know that can make a Hammond praise The Lord and that's the one and only Bishop Phil Willis! God bless you Bishop, we love ya!
*Shalom & ABBA'S Impeccable Will 2U & Your Children & Sers........short 4 Servants Of The Most High: Exodus **3:13**-15 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. Isaiah **7:13**-15 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also. Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. Mathew **1:22**-23 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Can You Tell Me Why Does Men Call Him By So Many Other Names, Not Even Prophesied .?*
