Just a Closer Walk With Thee

Cory Henry plays "Just A Closer Walk with Thee" (arranged by Kenneth Morris) on the Hammond organ, an instrument integral to the gospel sound. Dr. Henry Louis Gates sits with Reverend James Bryson of the legendary First Church of Deliverance, who explains the reaction by some church members to this strange new instrument.
