1. Doug Smith Interview: Voltage Bros to Mercy Club, Working Night Shift Judy Rodman 35:16

In my interview with Doug Smith you’ll learn how this gifted music maker working with R&B icons including Millie Jackson, Nikka Costa and Prince quit it all one night. Called to the ministry, he traded the limelight to be a flashlight working with the homeless, planting gardens in ‘food deserts’, and working ‘the night shift’ to help rescue and change lives.  And he’s back with music, too! Now Doug (aka ‘Truth’) and fellow former Voltage Brother Paul Scott (aka ‘Pjaye’) write, produce and perform as ‘Mercy Club’.  They let me include a little snippet for you!
