-----------May 30, 2005Cleavant Derricks Biography Lister Cleavant Derricks(May 13, 1910 - 1977) Baptist minister Cleavant Derricks was a writer of gospel songs whose works are counted as standards among Southern Gospel quartets today. "Just a Little Talk With Jesus", "When He Blessed My Soul", "We'll Soon Be Done With Troubles and Trials", and "When God Dipped His Love in My Heart" are just a few of the more than 300 songs he contributed to gospel music. Many of his songs were published by Stamps-Baxter in the Depression era. In addition to songwriting, Derricks served as pastor and choir director in Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Washington, DC. Derrick’s son (also named Cleavant) began a career in entertainment by following in his father’s footsteps initially. The two co-wrote a Grammy nominated project called Satisfaction Guaranteed in 1976, which was released on the Canaan label a year before the elder Derricks’ death. It was a follow-up to the 1975 release Just A Little Talk With Jesus. The son is better known for his acting career that followed. He was an original cast member on the sci-fi television series Sliders, portraying the character Rembrandt “Crying Man” Brown. He also won a Tony Award for his work in the production Dreamgirls. The elder Derricks’ efforts were recognized by the GMA in 1984 when he was posthumously inducted into their Hall Of Fame. The SGMA Hall of Fame inducted Derricks as well in 2001.
