He's used to sold out crowds. But his audience was intentionally much smaller.
That's because Malcolm Ramsey is about to meet his favorite Gospel singer Keith "Wonderboy" Johnson.
"Malcolm, what's up buddy, asked Keith Johnson." "Good to meet you man."
The Wisconsin Make A Wish Foundation flew Johnson in from New York to have dinner with Ramsey.
"I have him on Facebook as my friend, said Ramsey, "and I wanted to talk to him and meet him in person."
Ramsey is battling sickle cell anemia, a blood disease that has no cure. The 18 year old loves to sing in church.
Ramsey received a special CD that will allow him to sing Johnson's hits.
"So whatever you want to sing, you've got all your favorite songs right there, said Johnson. All you have to do is just sing the lead.".
But Johnson had something even more special for his new friend.
"I just want to be right. when you see me walking up. I just want to be right, sang Johnson.
The two sang together.
"I say be right, be right. If you want to be right, come on clap your hands," sang Ramsey.
What a wish!
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: James 5:14 NIV

I pray for anyone who is afflicted with this disease, but if you have been reading this blog since it's inception, you know that there IS a cure for sickle cell anemia. My baby girl is living proof of that!!!!
