(organ music playing) (crowd applauding) I wanna tell you a little story now about a man called Shoutin' John.

(audience cheering loudly) - Shoutin' John is an eighty-six-year-old man who's about to be put out of a church by the church leaders.

He came in dancin'.

- [Crowd] Yes!

(upbeat music) - They tell him, "You can't do all that dancing in our church," right, because they are an upper class, more established, respectable church.

- And Shoutin' John tells them, you know, all the things that God has done for him.

And they still say, "No, Shoutin' John, if you don't stop shouting, we are not going to allow you to come back to the church," and Shoutin' John says - Then listen, Brother Deacons, if I can't shout in your church...

He said, hold my mule.

I'm gonna shout it right now.

He said, oh yeah.

- Shirley Caesar declared that there is inherent dignity in this man who they couldn't silence.

Hold my mule.

- She made folks believe and know that not only that I got a feeling that everything's gonna be all right.

Guess what?

I know I'm all right.
