Few gospel groups can equal the Williams Brothers in terms of longevity and popularity. The trio dates back to 1960, when Doug and Melvin's father, the late Leon "Pop" Williams founded the group. In April 1991, Melvin, Henry and Doug decided to merge musical talent with industry expertise to form their own label dedicated to spreading the good news of Jesus Christ through anointed music. As a result, Blackberry Records was born.
Blackberry Records' first release, "This Is Your Night," received a Grammy nomination in the category of Best Soul Gospel Album and won two Stellar Awards. Since that time, the Brothers have earned a gold record for the WOW Gospel project that included their performance with Stevie Wonder, and have performed in some of the nation's most prestigious concert halls, including: Madison Square Garden, The Apollo Theatre, Radio City Music Hall, Carnegie Hall, The Grand Old Opry, The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and The House of Blues.
In addition, they have shared the stage with talented artists such as: Stevie Wonder, Juanita Bynum, Jars of Clay, Mary Mary, Yolanda Adams, Kirk Franklin, Donnie McClurkin, Denise Williams, Mighty Clouds of Joy, Vickie Winans, Luther Vandross, Philip Bailey, Fred Hammond, the Mississippi Mass Choir, Maurice White, Andrae Crouch, Bebe & Cece Winans, Shirley Caesar, James Cleveland, Al Green, Kool and the Gang, Patti LaBelle, Sound of Blackness, Amy Grant, Steve Winwood, Peabo Bryson, Chaka Khan, James Taylor and many more. They have performed for the Governor of the State of Mississippi on several occasions, and were headliners in the "Celebrating a 50 Year Grammy Legacy" event, hosted by Governor Barbour.
Melvin, Doug, Henry and their musicians travel around the world with their distinctive Gospel sound, performing to enthusiastic audiences of all ages. When the group is not traveling, they make their homes in Mississippi. They spend their time running their record label and recording music at Terminal Studios, their Grammy award winning recording studio in Jackson.

From KSDK.com
KSDK-- It happened a little more than a week ago. Two St. Louis fire trucks collided on the way to a fire in North St. Louis. As it turns out, the whole thing was captured by the red light camera in the intersection and someone has just posted that video on the website You Tube.
City officials have been reviewing every aspect of this video, trying to understand how the accident happened. However, they were hoping the public wouldn't see it, at least until after their investigation was complete.
Fire Chief Dennis Jenkerson says, "If this doesn't make you stop and think before you start driving some of these trucks, you shouldn't be driving."
The video shows one fire truck on Martin Luther King, the other on Taylor and then the two colliding in the intersection. It was a massive accident with only minor injuries to the eight firefighters involved.
And now the tape has been posted for everyone to see on the website you tube.
Jenkerson says, "When the guys see this this is going to have an immediate impact on them cause its so graphic. It's a violent accident."
City officials began reviewing the video immediately after the crash. It came from a recently installed red light camera at the intersection. As for who posted it on the website You Tube, that remains a mystery.
The fire chief says this tape is just part of a lengthy investigation. He says they're talking to everyone involved about what they could hear and see before the crash.
He says, "One or both of these drivers might have been looking at the fire. And the heavy smoke coming off this building."
Director of Public Safety, Charles Bryson isn't pleased that the tape has been released to the public. However, he thinks it will become a valuable training tool for the department.
Bryson says, "Go over it and see do we need to change policies in any way shape or form and what do we need to tell to our new recruits."
The fire chief actually brought recruits to the scene that day. He wants them to learn from what happened.
He says, "Same situation all over again, I don't know if we'd be so lucky. That's why we want to take that same situation and make sure we don't have it ever again."
The fire department expects its investigation to be completed in about a week. They will then determine whether any punishment or policy changes are in order. One thing they're already planning is a safe driving class for firefighters.
-----DISCLAIMER-----
This is for Fire Training purpose only. It is not for entertainment purposes.I do not own this video. Like I said before it is for education only nothing else.
