LIVE – WED., JUNE 15, 2022. This episode will feature inspirational music, positive inspirations, and the Sunday Best breakout artist MAURICE GRIFFIN who is here for the INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC HIGHLIGHT! This comes after he popped in on us for a magical night of praise as we presented him at the NEW COMMUNITY TEMPLE COGIC CHURCH IN PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA. Maurice was no stranger to the gospel stage and that was apparent during his riveting performance. By no stranger to the stage, we mean Sunday Best Season 2 no stranger to the stage. He made it to the top 20 and has not stopped since! “Maurice Griffin was born on a naval base in Virginia to military parents, but he spent his formative years in Chicago. It was there that Griffin would first become involved with gospel performance, working with the world-renowned gospel choir New Direction. Times weren't always good to Griffin, and shortly before he was picked as a participant for BET's Sunday Best, he had been homeless on the streets of Chicago. Things turned around for him in a big way after the TV series exposed his talent to multitudes of new fans, and he moved around from Florida to Texas to Los Angeles over the next several years, building communities of faith and releasing albums and EPs of his own solo music” (AllMusic.com). Griffin has released several smashing singles to include his #1 Billboard hit, Love Peace Happiness, and is here today to talk about his latest single, God of Miracles! We welcome him to the show! AND JAMES BAILEY who is here as our INSPIRATIONAL AUTHOR OF THE DAY! Jim Bailey is a Gulliver walking the nooks and crannies of a beach community simply trying to sell his books, do his research, and find a port where he can write the Next Great American Novel and Worldwide TV Series – only to meet the weird, the wacky, and the odd - person or situation which may or may not get him back in time to switch his car to the other side of the street before the cops tow away his sleeping quarters. And the Power of O.C.D. Cannot Be Denied: Jim Bailey’s diary reveals A Don Quixote of a Writer-Against-All-Odds: An artist on foot, sleeping in his car, struggling to push his great work of written art up the steep hill of Competition, Access, and The Marketplace. Or: Tilting at sun worshipers, book-readers, the homeless, agents, or producers he meets on his daily rounds of beaches, coffee shops and the rear aisle of bookstores he sneaks into trying to sell his books. Great characters. A funny read. One day he's meeting a movie star in Malibu that purchases his book and the next minute he's fighting off a psychotic street person. Jim is obsessed with getting a bestselling book that leads to a movie option. If you like quirky and fun books you will enjoy Jim's journey from one bookstore to another. Never leaving unless he cajoles someone to buy one of his books. COME JOIN me and this incredible author! His story is unbelievable!
