Relationship

I believe these two men to be father and son, but cannot find any confirmation.KorbenDirewolf 22:37, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Cleavant Derricks (songwriter) states:
'Reverend Cleavant Derricks ... was a pastor and choir director at a number of black Baptist churches. He is best known as a songwriter.
and the page [1] off of the website of Cleavant Derricks (actor) states:
Along with his father - a Baptist Minister and gospel composer - Cleavant wrote a gospel album
In addition to the father of Cleavant Derricks (actor) having the same occupation as Cleavant Derricks (songwriter), they are both from Tennessee and are born 43 years apart, and have the same first and last name. I agree that they are probably father and son, though nothing explicitly states that they are. I guess it is not impossible for this to be a coincedence. Q0 12:42, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
