All you need is love

Richard and Gail Miller Sing the Gospel of Love. Yet another record by Richard Miller a quadraplegic with musical talent and a great attitude. Incredibly, or not considering, mine is signed by Richard himself.

“Richard Dale Miller was born in 1942 in Dallas, TX without hands and feet. Yet he plays the organ and a guitar. This is a God-given talent, as he has had no formal music or voice lessons. Richard has written many songs. He is a 1966 graduate of The University of Texas, receiving a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree, training in Law School. Richard was saved while a Senior, at the age of 20. The government does not consider him handicapped for assistance.” — Liner Notes
