I Can Depend on God by Rev. Charles H. Nicks, Jr. and the St. James Baptist Church Adult Choir

I'm here with another RUclips Gospel video. As a fan of old school gospel, I had to take us back to the year 1990. The Rev. Charles Hercules Nicks, Jr., born on 1941 in Lincoln, Nebraska, was a trailblazer in gospel music. If Twinkie Clark is the "Queen of Hammond B3", then Rev. Nicks would arguably be the "King of the Hammond B3". In 1957, he became the organist for the St. James Baptist Church Young Adult Choir, where he would later serve as the church's pastor. In addition to serving the St. James Baptist Church, he is recognized as a charter member and the 1st vice-president of the Gospel Music Workshop of America, or GMWA, which was founded under the "King of Gospel" Rev. James Cleveland. Also, he was a founding member of the Baptist Assembly of Free Spirit Churches, which was the foundation of what we know today as one of America's largest Black denominations, the Full Gospel Baptist Church, currently under the leadership of Presiding Bishop, Paul S. Morton, Sr. With the Holy Spirit guiding him, the membership of St. James increased to more than 2000. This multi-talented man did everything from play the Hammond, to direct a 1,000 (I promise you I didn't make this up) member choir, to writing songs that we still hear today (Search Me Lord, which was revamped by Ricky Dillard, is one of them.) Even though Rev. Nicks passed away at the young age of 47, we are blessed to have his music still inspire the gospel music world right now. Therefore, it is with great honor that I present to you this famous gospel song, "I Can Depend On God." from the "Hold Back the Night" album, released two years after his passing. I do not own this song, nor am I seeking monetary gains or publicity. I hope you enjoy this classic. Take care and God Bless!
