Merv produced and arranged all of Whitney’s performances in this hit film. He also wrote the lyrics and music for the movie’s featured song, “Who Would Imagine A King?”He also appears in the film as the pianist in the jazz club “Jazzy’s.”

Trivia:

  • In the jazz-club scene, Lionel Ritchie takes Merv’s place at the piano. But when Lionel begins to play, he’s actually “miming” to a performance that Merv had recorded previously.
  • The soundtrack to The Preacher’s Wife is reported to be the best-selling “gospel” album of all time.
