My mother, the late Mrs. Noralee Dean Horton was a single parent who insisted on education for all of her children. I was married in 1973 and I’m now divorced. I have one son, Kermit Charles Green, Jr. God has blessed me with many talents and I try to use them to serve others. I have been singing gospel all my life. In New Orleans and surrounding areas many musicals, concerts, cantatas and rehearsals were constant part of my life as well as Sunday services singing in the choir. This was a very exciting time in my life that I will never forget I love to write gospel songs as different events and situations unfold in my life. Singing and writing soothe and comfort me. I know that the Lord is always with me. If my singing brings hope and encouragement to someone else then my living in not in vain. Because of the mass destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 there was no place for me to live in my hometown of New Orleans. I now reside in St. Louis, Missouri. I am a member of Trinity Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, pastured by Rev. Charles Roach, where I have resumed my position as a member of the choir. I am still adjusting to living in St. Louis mainly because of the long winter season. The cold and snow takes some getting used to otherwise, I am doing just fine. All thanks to Almighty God.view less
