This comedy show revolves around an insufferable deacon (and lawyer) whose father had founded the First Community Church of Philadelphia, and who intended to keep it under his thumb. Unfortunately the new minister, Rev. Gregory, had other ideas and every week he quietly deflated the strutting deacon.

Amen was a breakthrough of sorts - the first hit comedy in TV history to be based on religion.

In addition to playing a minister on TV, Clifton Davis is actually an ordained Baptist minister.

Despite playing father and daughter, Sherman Hemsley is only ten years older than Anna Maria Horsford.

Tony T. Johnson was only supposed to be a recurring character, but the audiences enjoyed him so much that he became a regular cast member.

"Shine On Me" Lyrics

Turn on the lights from heaven, Lord
Shine on me
Turn on the lights from heaven, Lord
Shine on me, shine on me

(Turn on the lights and put me on the right road)
Help me find my way, Lord
Turn on the lights from heaven, Lord
Shine on me, shine on me

Shine on me, shine on me
Shine on me, shine on me

Shine on me, shine on me
Shine on me, shine on me
Shine on me, shine on me
Shine on me, shine on me
