God has blessed Rev.Billy in many ways.While playing drums for the gospel group Singing Scotts he decided it was time to start his own groupand with alot of praying the Crystal Light Gospel Singers was started. Rev.Billy and the Crystal Light Gospel Singers play all over NC and as far away as Florida.No matter where their singing took them Jesus was always a big part of their lives.Jesus blessed many people through their songs and Ministry,many accepted Jesus as their personal savior. They started writing their own songs,he recorded his first album "Travelin On" in the year 1972,this album was a touch of how great God had blessed the group.It wasnt long after the album that Billy started his own recording studio,recording for other groups too.He named his recording studio Crystal Light Recording Studio after his group.Durning the next 2 years two more albums,"Spirit" and "Truth" more gospel comming up.In 1976 Bro.Billy was inspired by the love of his mother Ms.Tessie Locklear who was her sons biggest support person in his life.Through her love of Jesus she taught her son all he needed was Jesus in his life. Even though shes present with Jesus now her teaching still lives on.This is how the "Rest Home Story" was wrote in honor of his beloved mother,Ms Tessie.This song is one of the most requested songs even today.Following Bro.Billy was inspired to write "The Mothers Prayer" album has touched many souls and is requested daily on his radio station 89.5 FM which was started in March 2006.The ministry is in the process of going all digital in its television stations which will expand all over the world when finished.
