Strange, all the "famous" people listed here and most I have never heard of. oh well, we're all famous to a certain degree i guess.

Dewayne, Rick and Bubba had that on their site. I fell for it at first since their book Rick and Bubba for President came out.

That's too funny.

Steve Chapman is from Point Pleasant, West Virginia. His dad was a pastor and state secretary when I was a kid in WV.

If this is the same Tim Akers that I know he's done much more, playing on several movie soundtracks (The Prince of Egypt and the Robert Duval movie The Apostle)

He's played with numerous Nashville recording artists and was CMA nominated at least once.

I found the following pic on the web where he's playing while some girl named Leann sings.

Born White Station Miss.

Grammy Award: Smokestake Lightnin, 1956

Rock and Roll Hall of fame
1956 SmokeStack Lightnin
1960 Soonfull
1962 The Red Rooster

I would be interested in finding out when this was, as all sources I have consulted mention only a Baptist connection.

Of course it WOULD explain why his mom wouldnt have nothing to do with him for playing the "devils music"...right in line with old tyme COGOP sanctimony.

Just a little spoon of your precious love

Yep, that is the Tim Akers........and yes he has done and continues to be a major musical influence in Nashville. He is a fantastic musician.

He and Reg work together a lot.

I found this clip from the Biography "The Howlin Wolf Story" where it talks about his mother being a religious woman.

I believe the film clip is used just to illustrate "black religious people" and do not believe that it is supposed to directly indicate the Burnett family involvement.

However I do not believe that this is the proof you described is it Cpt Jack?

Yes it is. Good job in finding it.

Gerald,
I dont know how you can separate who is and who is not members here. When I seen it they were talking about his mothers strong convictions. Well they dont get much STRONGER than the Old CHURCH OF GOD FLAG WAVERS.

Dr. Ron · Postby **Dr. Ron** » August 1st, 2008, 5:36 am

Oh yeah, since his name came up.

Kenneth Copeland was in business with a COGOP guy selling airplanes before he got "called". He sold the COGOP the last twin engine airplane we bought for HQ. He made a killing off that plane.

Then I think we sold it back to him when it was time to sell it.

But he has visited the HQ and knew all the old guys. He acutally flew the GO on one flight.

I just want to know if he sang to Bro. Tomlinson about wanting his fanny brown.

(Joke stemming from thread about Copeland's doo-wop songs in the late 1950's).
