The musician in the title, needs to be changed to pastor. The fact that he released the religious hymns sung by him and his church choir during Sunday sermons makes his occupation to be an Evangelical Baptist Pastor. Clay Evans studied to become a Baptist pastor after high school at the Northern Baptist Theological Seminary, as well as at the prestigious University of Chicago Divinity School. At age 25 he was ordained. He founded his own church where Dr. King spoke. At least 81 aspiring ministers studied under Clay Evans, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson. In fact, Clay Evans ordained Jesse Jackson in 1965. Jackson credits Evans for shifting the mindset of African-American congregations in Chicago and in turn altering the way politicians viewed the institution of the black church. In 1995, after working as a minister for 45 years, Evans released albums of his church choir and himself singing during Sunday services. 5 years later he retired. Calling this man a musician doesn't match fact and seems condescending - not to mention calling the pastor who succeeded Clay Evans after his retirement to be his 'associated act'. For these reasons I've moved this page to Clay_Evans_(pastor) Refs [1] and [2] Cheers! Meishern (talk) 08:18, 5 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
