My purpose in life is to impact upon the spiritual, social, and economic conditions that impinge upon the human family in this point of our history. If not addressed, we will raise up a generation with no morals, no respect for self or others. I’m sure that many of you can bear witness to this truth. I Elder William T.

Encouraged to record by a former music program director and DJ, Mr. Blues Man Jay Butler our first CD entitled "Elder Howard and Family made it to no. 7 on WXOK in Baton Rouge, 17 on KOKY in Little Rock, and no. 12 in Wilmington Delaware. It is traditional, contemporary gospel, Reggae, and Social R&B with some old Sam Cooke, Bobby Womack, and Otis Redding brought up to date addressing social issues. If you like what we are trying to do and the music you hear bless us with your support. There are numerous groups and individuals approaching the business solely from the standpoint of materialistic gain. This product was only a test production. It allowed me to see that God had ordained working on a new concept in music. The new CD is minus Destiny and Phillip. I do this because I care! is my motto. The new CD entitled "Because We Care" is minus Destiny Johnson and Phillip Charles. It introduces one of the greatest vocalist and vocalist arrangers of the 21st century in the presence of our family relative Mr. Ricky Ross. He and I both have played in films as movie extras. You can hear Rick throughout most of the background and as the second lead in "I'm Going Home". "Because We Care" is a CD that is unique and historic It is multi-genre (Gospel, Social R&B, Reggae, Jazz, and Country). To my knowledge this is the first time in history bag pipes have been combined with reggae which you can hear in the title "Where Is Your Faith".
