His whole recording career was built on covering the songs of others.

Plus, the first known practicer of Dick in a Box has to be recognized.

He's one of the many, many, Christian music industry pimps who did no more than take any successful music industry idea, steal it, and call it Christian music. They use to call it, claiming the works of Satan for the Lord. Pitiful prostitutes for profit I call them.

He never had an original creative idea in his life.

I can't understand a business casting its lot with an Uber-Christian unless they're of a similar mind.

He made his name by performing 'safe' versions of black artists' songs - for kids whose parents didn't want them to listen to "them coloreds.'
