EYE ON GOSPEL Continued from page 11A Getting stronger: Willie Neal Johnson & the New Keynotes marked a creative milestone with the July release of their latest project, "Help Me To Be Strong." "When 1 produced it," reports Johnson, "I was mak ing a few changes that I thought might hurt us. We didn't change our music. But we featured a song that was a take-off from ‘Midnight Train to Georgia’ and we didn't know how our fans would react. I was scared to death, but they liked it and so it worked out." But rest assured, this doesn’t mean that Johnson will be taking any chances with upcoming recordings. He says he - and their fans - like the group's style as it is and have no plans to change it. Now, with regards to what Johnson needs help to be strong with, he replies "fhe things you can t change. In those instances, you ve just got to be strong, pray and hold on. ’ Briefly: The Christianaires are set to go into the studio to record album No. 8. No idea on the title.
