Interviews with the Artists that are on JB's Top Ten Songs of the Week:

"From the Cross to Your Heart"

I was searching some of the artists looking for the Bullet Song and Honorable Mention Song for the Week of 5-29-11 when I happen to see George Wells' page so I jumped on in. Something happened. Strange .. nothing fancy about the orchestration, but what was it? . . It grabbed me, it touched me. The voice sure wasn't George's (it was a woman's voice) so I sent him a message and asked who it was that sang the song .. here is his reply ... It explains why I was in a daze after listening to it.

From George Wells;

James. thanks for the kind remarks. The vocalist is Jesse Smith of Eva, AL

She sings with her family group: "Free Indeed". I must mention that Jesse is a very kind person. She has done about 12 demos for me and she never refuses to help me. Yet, she does it for free. We went into the studio with her and a great piano player a few years back to do From The Cross to Your Heart. Derrick finished up the piano track and when it was Jesse's turn to add the vocal we were spell bound. Everyone said: "Don't Touch it" And we didn't. That was her first and only take on that song. What feeling she put into the song. Thanks again for asking.

From JB's Top Ten;

George, had I been there in the studio with you and heard Jesse do that track I would have said the same thing everyone else had said, "Don't Touch It!" Incredible ... just spellbinding... Congratulations on being the Honorable Mention Song of the Week ... Blessings .... James Banfield
