“It was a true pleasure to have Gerald here. Yes, the audience loved it, I thought Gerald did a great job mixing in stories about old school music into talking about his book. It was a good awareness to play to the expectations of the audience. Of course, Gerald is very good at connecting with his audience, that is why he is so successful!”
— Cully Sommers, Detroit Public Library “Gerald, thanks for the inspirational time you spent here with us at Detroit’s SHAR House. The movie, "The Rhythm" coupled with the overview of your recent book "God and the DJ" have our clients wanting for more, but more important, it provided them with the essential ingredient called, HOPE.”
