Despite such controversies, the thousands of messengers did not go to the dome-topped Scope Convention Hall in Norfolk to argue. They went for song and sermons and uplift.

He booked a concert at Manhattan's Lincoln Center, and it sold out. Westbury asked him back for a one-week gig for $100,000. Love 76 has sold 43,000 copies, through mail orders drawn by the TV spots.
