EYE ON GOSPEL
Everyone's talking
about John P. Kee,
but is all of it true?
By MAR�ARET MANSFIELD .
Sweeping both the Stellar and
Gospel Music Workshop of
America's Excellence Awards,
spawning three hi! albums, and a
pied piper kind of' popularity,
John P. Kee's uccess has won
him the kind of fanfare tha; i
normally reserved for ecular ar
tists.
He was nearly mobbed at the
GcspetMusic Workshop of
America. And like secular artists,
John Kee 's life has been the tar�et
of rumors. The latest is that he
wa arrested for possession of
cocaine. But John P. Kee's heard
it all. "I treat it with a smile," he
aid, dismissing the rumors. He
has his own theory as to why the
rumors have cropped up.
"My ministry is a treet minis
try, and many in the church don't
want to hear what I have to ay;
particul rly bout drugs in the
church. But I lived that, and I
won't hut up on my
deliverance." In fact, Kee's
music is secondary to his minis
try. "Now is the day of
deliverance," ays the 28-year old
Singer, who has a top-ten gospel
hit entitled "There Is Hope." And
when he' not singing, he's
recruiting kids on the streets. An
avid basketball player, Kee and
some of the members of his New
Life Community Choir venture
out into the treets challenging
inner-city youth to pi y ball. If
Kee wins, they have to Ii ten to
hat he h to ay. He ually
wins.
And for all of hi youthful ex
uberance, Kee ha teered clear of
the urban contemporary path
most of hi counterparts have
taken, ing hi If instead
the keeper of the fl me for tradi
tional g pel music, aying, "You
can't forget about the people who
go to church. I want to bring that
music to another level." .
It' n i ue he'll take even
more to rt next month hen
he intend to found hi own
church. For now, though, hi
ministry i hi music.
Infamous Cull Leader Dies:
In' an ironic twist of fate, former
Watts minister turned infamous
cult leader Eldridge Broussard Jr.
wa found dead in the same
Oregon farmhou _ e where fOl-'
lowers killed hi eight-year old
daughter three years go. Brous-
ard won national ttention when
he .defe&le<l cult members who
beat hi daughter ath while
disciplining her. At the t1m of
his death, Broussard, who
founded the Watts Christian Cen
ter (which became the Bcclesia
Athletic Association when the
group moved to Oregon) had
faced 'federal charges of enslav
ing 29 children.
