  • Pretty much impossible to focus on one particular song when the person you're speaking with has written SO MANY classics. If you were to ask 10 people what their favorite Richard Smallwood song is you would most likely get 30 different answers lol and that's a testament to just how many great songs he has penned over the years. My personal favs include Praise Waiteth, Holy, Thank You, ok let me stop because I myself have about 20 personal favs! Please show him some love in the comments. He shared so much wisdom in this interview and I pray it blesses you as much as it blessed me. He will forever be the Presiding Quadrupled ArchBishop of Sacred Melodies and Musicalities in my eyes #MeetTheWriter #RichardSmallwood #LivingLegend #IFeltThat

    Mannnn, Mr. Smallwood is absolutely one of my favorite favorites. Through his gift, I have had many moments with God that I cherish. His music takes me straight to praise, those private priceless moments with our Father. Thank You Mr. Smallwood for your obedience to the Holy Spirit. KEVON, KEVON, can you hear me? I love you, and I am so excited for you!!

    Kevon, one of the things I really enjoyed about this interview is that as an interviewer, you let Richard speak without a zillion (unnecessary) questions as some interviewers feel they should do; because clearly, he already came with very powerful, insightful, and enlightening things to say on his own that all musicians could suck in and learn from. Richard Smallwood is a natural, deeply talented and humble individual inspired by God, and you allowed him to bring it out. Great job man!

  • @TheQodeshiymPodcast

    I wanted Kevon to do Richard Smallwood, but I thought he wouldn't do it because I thought it was for unknown writers, but when I saw the title of the video, 🙌🏽🏃🏿. This man is truly an inspiration, his work with both vision and the richard smallwood singers is amazing. Thanks to Kevon and Smallwood for meeting and having a great interview.

    • @rashawndaatkinson1845

    Kevon I see you dressed up today. You may as well end the series. It doesn’t get any better than this. Thank you for this series. I’ve enjoyed it. And this!! Richard Smallwood! My favorite song writer. My choir sings all the songs you did excerpts of at the beginning. Mr Smallwood, May the Lord continue to bless your incredible ministry. Your music has moved and soothes so many souls. Years ago I had a friend going through something and I just kept singing “I’ll trust you” esp the part “ I won’t dread the terror by night, for angels are all around me. So I will not fear”. My favorites “Total Praise” and from when I was in college, “the Resurrection”. Blessings to you

    Wonderful interview. Richard Smallwood is my favorite. He is special. You can always tell when Richard has something to do with a song even if he or his choir aren't singing. For example, the first time I heard 'Don't Cry', 'Secret Place' and 'That Name' I just knew Richard Smallwood had something to do with them.

    Thank you so much great interview! I stopped halfway through to look up the boys choir that Richard mentioned singing Total Praise and you can find it by searching "Libera Total Praise". I watched the virtual version I'm sure both are awesome. He was right it's amazing to hear the young boys voices singing that song. Thank you so much Kevon for bringing Richard to us like this. What a blessing! Someone commented that he is the goat and I would have to agree!

    This has been such a blessing! I’ve been struggling with my lack of consistency in sitting down to write songs! To find that someone as great as you writes in somewhat the same manner (although LOADS better) is quite an encouragement! Really hoping Richard Smallwood sees this... he may not remember me but back in the late 80’s early 90’s I played percussion at Metropolitan Baptist Church (with Maurette Brown-Clark, David Warr, Greg Grainger, etc.) I used to just sit in the background and admire your talent. I’ve since then started playing keyboard myself and you are the first person I tried to study. I haven’t gotten anywhere near your level, but I’m not doing bad! Thank God, thanks for Richard and thanks to you as well Kevon! I love how you infuse pure talent with humor! A favorite has interviewed another favorite!

  • @fiyaboy05
