MARCH/APRIL 1983
March/April 1983Following the news of the arrest of gospel pioneer Andrae Crouch on drugs possession charges the previous month, CCM magazine ran an in depth interview with Andrae where the singer tried to give his own account of proceedings and explain how the whole incident had affected him. Apparently, some suspicious-looking stuff found on the carpet of his car was powdered chicken soup (Andrae was trying to follow the in-vogue-at-the-time Cambridge Diet to try and lose some weight), and an empty phial and straw, used for snorting cocaine, had been left in Andrae's apartment by a non-Christian acquaintance who often used the place while Andrae was away touring. Although the charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence, the experience had still left Andrae shattered and bruised, but he was gradually getting back to something like normal, thanks to the ministry he received at his father's church.
