Marjoe Gortner was a child preacher, who was popular in the American South starting in 1949. His parents earned large sums of money from his preaching; Gortner speculated their take to be in the millions. The novelty of Gortner's youthfulness wore off at age 14, causing his father to leave. At 16, he decided to stop preaching and left his mother.
