Talk:Let My People Come

Author's Comment

I removed the following paragraph from the article, which (per the article history) is a statement purportedly by the author which a later editor encyclopediafied; but since it is an original statement, not from any source other than the subject of the article, it doesn't belong.

Earl Wilson Jr. has commented: "I would like to comment and add some info on the description of the musical "Let My People Come" as stated above. I am the author of the music and lyrics of the show, Earl Wilson Jr. I dispute the comment that the show was "pornographic". It was "outrageous" then...and still is now. It was also nominated for a Grammy Award in 1974 for Best Score from an Original Cast Album, and it played all over the world from 1974 to 1987 often breaking attendance records in the cities it appeared in. It had a very positive effect on people by dealing with sexual taboos in a light and amusing way...and was often very moving and sensitive. You can learn more about the show as we archive the on going process of re-creating and updating this classic show. I'll be discussing it on my website in the near future because we will be re-producing it very soon."

Lawsuit

A song from the original show was the subject of a lawsuit. --Weazie (talk) 20:18, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Plot?

Does it have one or is it more of a revue? - Richfife (talk) 19:12, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

This reference links to a former basketball player, not a musical director. Jrharber56 (talk) 20:54, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Good catch. We don't appear to have a page for the musical director (unless he's also the guy from the Box Tops.) I have removed the link. --Nat Gertler (talk) 21:09, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
