This Magic Moment: My Journey of Faith, Friends and the Father's Love
This is the remarkable true story of a white Mississippi businessman with a lifelong passion for R&B/Doo-Wop music, who in a “Magic Moment” encounter with one of his favorite groups, discovers his God-given talent for singing this style of music. He also discovers that his passion for music held a higher purpose, one that led to a three-decade, deep friendship with Prentiss Barnes and Harvey Fuqua of The Moonglows, Bill Pinkney of The Original Drifters and Rufus McKay of the Red Tops and Ink Spots that blessed and enriched all of their lives. Bill writes lovingly about his divinely-inspired experiences that includes producing two Gospel CDs for The Original Drifters and performing onstage at Boston Symphony Hall with The Moonglows at the Doo Wop Hall of Fame induction ceremonies, all while building a highly-successful insurance firm. The real strength of this book lies in the deep chemistry that existed between Bill and each of these singers. When people of different backgrounds and races come together with the love given from above, miraculous things are possible.
This Magic Moment has received endorsements from Mary Wilson of The Supremes; Christian singer/songwriter Michael W. Smith; Terry Stewart, former president & CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum, and many other notables. The Midwest Book Review described the book as, 'A deftly written, impressively informative, inherently fascinating, inspired and inspiring read from first page to last...'
