Some voices don't just perform — they minister. On this episode of The Trend with Justin A. Williams, Justin welcomes Khristian Dentley, the baritone of Take 6, the most awarded a cappella group in history and a defining voice in modern gospel. Khristian traces his journey from singing in church as a boy to joining a group whose harmonies have shaped generations, reflecting on where his gift began and what has kept it alive. But this conversation reaches beyond biography. Khristian and Justin dig into music as something deeper than entertainment — a force meant to be felt, to teach, and to endure. They talk about how song can hold us through our deepest pains and still point us toward hope, healing, and good. Whether you come for the gospel legacy or the philosophy of sound, this is an episode about why music matters, and why it lasts.

In this special episode, I sit down with Kori and Marcia Withers — the daughter and wife of the legendary Bill Withers — for an intimate conversation about family, music, and the stories that endure. We dive into their beautiful new book, Grandma's Hands, inspired by one of Bill's most beloved songs, and explore how it carries his spirit forward for a whole new generation of readers.

Along the way, Kori and Marcia share reflections on Bill's remarkable career — from his late start in music to becoming one of the most soulful and authentic voices in American songwriting — plus a behind-the-scenes look at their own writing process and what it means to steward a legacy this profound. It's a heartfelt conversation about love, memory, and the hands that shape us.

Tune in for stories you won't hear anywhere else, straight from the Withers family.
