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.
