With Chaka Khan at Agape

A Secret Place

I heard Chaka do the song with pianist Wayne Lindsey the Friday before Easter at "Prayers in the Wind," but he wasn't available Easter Sunday, so I was asked to learn the song and perform it with Chaka and the Agape Ensemble. It's a Richard Smallwood composition and arrangement that just smokes. Nothing like stepping up to the plate...with no run through. Fortunately it worked out fine.

I was supported brilliantly by the Agape House Band: drums, Rayford Griffin; bass, John Hart; guitar, David Neal; saxophone, Cal Bennett; synth, Ming Freeman; percussion, Idris Hestor; violin, Chris Woods - with the Agape Ensemble headed up by Tim McAfee Lewis.
