Description

Mae Gibson Brown, co-founder of Salt and Pepper Gospel Choir and mother of Chuck Brown, talks about C.C.'s early years, his amazing musical talent and his career as a choir director, a lead singer with the New Haven-based band Mikata, and a Broadway actor/singer. Before his tragic death last December at age 57, Chuck had become the choir director for a network of five gospel choirs in southern Maryland.
The interview is interspersed with classic gospel songs which Chuck sang while teaching gospel piano lessons to a fellow musician.
