Thanks so much for interviewing Maurice. I grew up in Ghana and heard a lot of his work....especially with Fred Hammond (e.g., Radical For Christ...etc). I always wondered who was on bass and was amazed that he always gave the music 'exactly' what it needed. In a nutshell, his playing is the epitome of simplicity and excellence.
I'm here because I just listened to the Isley Brothers' tiny desk and holy moly monster bass tone!!! of course you two know each other!! :) beautiful bass brothers right here!! wow!!
What an awesome interview!! Two bass legends, shooting the breeze!! You guys make me proud to be a Chicagoan, and a bass player!!! To have so many stories to share is amazing!!! But when Maurice mentioned Kahari (Parker), a family friend, it brought back good memories!! Rest In Heaven, Kahari!! You will be remembered, always!!
Thank you! for this great interview. Im from New Zealand, I first heard Maurice on Fred hammond "speak those things" in the early 2000's. He inspired my bass playing with many other young pacific islanders growing up in the Samoan Assembly of God churches 🙏🏽
Even though I’m not a bassist, Maurice is one of my all-time favorite bassists. It’s great to see how these people that we look up to came up into the scene. It’s very inspirational. What I keep getting from these interviews is, “Just be ready.”
Boy I 've waited for this interview for years and thanks so much Sharay for getting him. He's inspired myself and a whole generation of bass players. Can t talk about gospel bass without mentioning Maurice Fitzgerald!!
This right here, two of my bass heroes in one room😐...this 2 major reasons I work so hard at all hours of the night😂😂. Thank you Sharay, for everything you do. Thank you Sir Maurice for opening my eyes to different territories bass wise.
I remember my first time seeing Maurice with Fred Hammond i got so excited because i thought it was my homie Ron Turner a dope 🔥 bassist they look like twins its crazy... Great interview
Your Right, think everyone has one. Just saw your message and was kinda surprised at your impression. You gotta hear him do his Bobby Jones impression.... HILARIOUS!!!!
We need a Sharay Reed interview!!!!!! Who else thinks so?
YES. .. I want a Sharay interview😎😎😎
Never in my life had I looked forward to interviews until you started doing these interviews

These two! The reason I started playing, The reason I stop playing, and the reason I play again. Love ya'll. God's Blessings on you both!
That "Tell The Devil I'm Back" will rival anything right now!
Tell The Devil I'm Back is a RAW album boy!!!!! I LOVE that album man!!! Calvin and Maurice is SICK!!!!!!!

All these dudes I knew about when I left Chicago and when I came back in 92 these cats where rising . So proud to say I am a Chicago musician.
Two of the greatest bassist on the planet
Kahari used to come work out with us up at morgan park! he told us about that DC gig and we were all floored!
This was very very good!!!
Maurice inspired me a lot.
Boy I 've waited for this interview for years and thanks so much Sharay for getting him. He's inspired myself and a whole generation of bass players. Can t talk about gospel bass without mentioning Maurice Fitzgerald!!
This was toooo good! Maurice is my all time favourite bass player! I wish he spoke about how he played for Andrae Crouch too

Great interview with a Legend in Gospel Bass!
Can't believe you have one legend interviewing another!
John P. Kee - Strength. Some of the best Gospel bass of all time!!
We need season two!!!!!! Swol, Rodney East, Donald Alford, Rick Robinson! 🔥🔥🔥
From watching these videos I'm starting to see how much influence John. P. Keep had on so many up and coming musical artists.
educational!!!!!!!!
What’s there to dislike about this? Can’t please everyone for sure... 🤦🏾♂️
True that
Haters or racists. That’s what I think.
this is a great interview! Sharay just let him talk and didn't try to guide the interview too much. Great stories from a legend!
Mo Fitz 💪🏿🔥🔥🔥
Great interview again. Could you post a list of the recordings/ albums that you’re referencing/ talking about.
I remember my first time seeing Maurice with Fred Hammond i got so excited because i thought it was my homie Ron Turner a dope 🔥 bassist they look like twins its crazy... Great interview
Calvin Rogers was just roasting this dude😂😂😂
Ethan that he mentioned, is a BAD Bassist. I think he's with Lionel Richie now, actually dated a Ugandan friend of mine 😎
Is it possible to have a list of songs that he played on?
Maurice is STUPID!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣LMAOOOOO!!!! That Darius Brooks impersonation is HILARIOUS!!!!!! He sounds JUST like Darius!!!!!
Who is Joy?
LOL...I think he means Joey Woolfalk
@@seunstealth grazie
I met “Big Mo”....Arrogant dude.... Nice Bass player tho
Really?
Rodney Napier Jr. Yessir...Fa Sho....
Would have never guessed that. Gotta few homies that played with him on a few gigs... he be clownin
Rodney Napier Jr. Not saying he is not a Nice Guy, maybe he was having a bad Night I don’t know. But he was kinda Arrogant/ Jerky
Your Right, think everyone has one. Just saw your message and was kinda surprised at your impression.
You gotta hear him do his Bobby Jones impression.... HILARIOUS!!!!
