ODDS OF LOVE - SEASON 14

Episode 115

Within the cozy wood paneled recording studio inside the vast Washington DC mansion of Rebel ,  the music producer , the reed thin and hyper   Blue Donovan, from his seat beside Rebel's longtime manager Bailey Mullins ,  leaned forward to speak into the microphone before him. " That's good ! Love it. Your voices are like heaven on a cracker, babies. Let's try it one more time though. Take me to church and send me to hell at the same time ! "

Bailey laughed. " Rebel is good at the send me to hell part. " And , that Bliss Jones was extremely heavenly, he mused with steepled fingers beneath his chin as he thought. She had the best voice he had ever heard outside of Rebel and Reese Malden themselves. That woman had the voice of a star and a saint. He could not wait to represent her. She would go far.  They would label her The Goddess of Soul. 

Inside the recording booth where he stood along with one of the two talent show winners,  Bliss Jones , as well as a orange and black robed gospel choir in the background Rebel , after taking a long sip from his bottle of imported water, said with good humor," They ain't asking much, are they, Bliss ? "

Bliss laughed back with twinkling brown eyes and her hands on her lean hips. Her engagement ring shined bright on her finger. " Oh , I think we can do it. "

Rebel ( singing ) : Walked through the storm of life I did. Ran through the rain and the hail of life. Through the dark there was a light. I saw the light. Through the night I saw the light. And , I knew then and there I was alright. 

Gospel choir ( swaying in the back with their arms raised heavenward ) : Through the night I saw the light. I knew then and there I was alright ! 

Bliss ( singing ) : Through the many struggles , the daily pitfalls , the trials , the tribulations , as I walked through it all I saw You. The light. I saw YOU ! I saw you and I knew , I knew , I knew that then and there I was alright. 

Gospel choir : I knew then and there I was alright !

Rebel : I'm stronger , happier , purer as I walk beside You. I was alone before and now I have You!  I would have lost my step so many years ago but you held me up ! You danced with me. You gave me the umbrella to make it through the storm. 

Gospel choir : I knew then and there I was alright !

Bliss : I don't need no mere mortal to shelter my body and soul from the storm. I don't need any man ! Because I have You. I will forever walk beside You In any storm , any weather ,  any trial. 

Rebel and Bliss : I'm stronger , happier , purer as I walk beside You. I was alone before and now I have YOU ! 

As they sung on Blue cut his eyes over at Bailey who listened intensely with his brown eyes closed behind his glasses. " They're like a dream , " Blue said as he tapped his fingers against the side of his seat. " If that other one , Lyle Anderson , sounds as good with Reese this album will outsell even Elvis in his day. Have you signed them yet ? "

Bailey smiled knowingly. " Not yet. But I will. Both of them. After all , who doesn't want to be a star ? Look what it did for Rebel and Reese ? "
