Willie Ruff from the program:
"I would say that this tradition [Scots Gaelic] is part of the DNA of every kind of musical expression that blacks have done in this country. Ask Aretha Frankin, ask Mahalia Jackson".

Also, Dr. Bobby Jones, "the Godfather of Soul", before he saw the Scots singing,

"[Gospel] has nothing to do with white culture".

After he heard the Scots,

"The similarites are so much there, the only basic difference is the language. It sounds like blacks singing".
