My Dad Went Viral at almost 70 (Here's How) | Cue The Q Podcast

My dad played guitar alongside Stevie Wonder in 1977, helped bring The Winans to Washington State for $3,500 before they ever won a Grammy, and built the home recording studio I learned everything in. Three years ago, in his late 60s, he started posting a gospel song every single Thursday on Facebook — and one video hit 92,000 views. This is that story. https://www.facebook.com/navele.davis... On this episode of Cue The Q Podcast, I sit down with my father, Neville "Pop" Davis, to talk about growing up the 12th of 12 kids in Bogalusa, Louisiana, learning guitar in a rare Spanish E tuning from a man named Blind Pete, playing alongside Stevie Wonder during the Songs in the Key of Life era, bringing The Winans to Washington State, founding Gospel Fest, and how staying consistent for years finally paid off in a way he never expected.
