Thank Him for the
Rain,
Title song from the
album, Thank Him for the Rain by
Pastor Leroy and
Dewayne Williams, produced by Pastor Leroy and Dewayne Williams for
Omnipresent Productions. (father and brother of
Latoya Williams)
Released the summer of 2008, Thank Him for the Rain, through crafty production and exquisite musicianship pushed
Gospel music to the forefront. Known for his trademark double neck guitar
Leroy Williams (the father) vision became a reality, teaming with his son Dewayne Williams, then a high school student to create this masterwork. The artists combine influences ranging from
Earth Wind and Fire, and
Michael Jackson, to the Winans,
The Flecktones, and even progressive rock groups like
Dream Theater.
Production began when Dewayne was a
Jr High student, but a fire delayed completion until he'd nearly completed high school. In
2003, the album caught the attention of promoters building an artist roster for a joint production between
Southern Gospel sensation
Bill Gaither and
Bishop TD Jakes. This provided opportunity for the
Williams to share the stage with many of the biggest stars from both urban and southern gospel music, including The Gaithers,
Smokey Norful,
Mary Mary,
The Mighty Clouds of Joy, and many more.
In
2006 Pastor Leroy and Dewayne Williams where featured in a book written by
John Engel entitled "Uncommon
Sound, the

Guitar Players that
Changed Music", along with
Jimi Hendrix,
Sir Paul McCartney, and many other great artists.
