This interview is over an hour long and the mp3 file is over 11MB, so beware of a longer-than-usual download.

We talked about Lynda's home life growing up in Washington DC, about her family, the two Michaels in her life (her brother Michael Tait and her husband Michael Randle), daughters Patience and Joy, college, her vanilla mom and dad (known to us as Bill and Gloria Gaither), being a black gospel singer in a white gospel world, Mahalia Jackson, Babbie Mason, racial reconciliation and more!

We certainly cover a lot of ground, but with Lynda's contagious, joy-filled personality, it's time that flies by.
