"The Lord Will Make a Way Somehow" (w/ Brother Roland Payne)

Reverend Raymond Branch is joined on this recording by the late Brother Roland Payne on lead vocal. Roland Payne was a childhood friend of Rev. Branch's and in their youth, the two made up half of a Gospel quartet in Louisiana. A move to Los Angeles late in life reunited him with Rev. Branch, and it is from that era that this recording, "The Lord Will Make a Way Somehow," originates.

Brother Roland Payne, vocal; Rev. Branch, guitar and vocal.
