Today is the release of another WOW Gospel compilation cd, but instead of purchasing a cd full of songs you've heard numerous times on the radio, why not branch out and check out an independent artist instead? I recommend purchasing AM:PM (Anthony McGahee & Praise Motivated)'s It's Our Time and Earl Jones Jr.'s, I'm Gonna Wait. Formerly known as Anthony McGahee & Voyces, Milwaukee's own AM:PM

There's been a few requests for songs that featured Monique (Williams) Walker before she recorded with Love Fellowship Crusade Choir, so after digging through the crates I found one for you all. The song is entitled, How Can I Say Thank You written by Jeffrey and Kathleenia White from Prof. Jeffrey White & The Soul Stirring Crusade Choir's 1982 release, Shelter In The Time of Storm. I'm not the

Wow, it's been a long time since I've written here, I had no idea it had been this long. The reason for the hiatus was Hurricane Ike at first and I was without power for almost a month, but I was blessed not to have much damage done to my house. The other reason, was a broken needle on my turntable. Now that I have everything in order now, I want to continue sharing gospel music that I have been

One reason I like Rodnie Bryant & The Christian Community Mass Choir's albums is how they in a way show acknowledgement of those gospel greats that came before them. You can always expect to see at least one or two songs on their albums that have been previously recorded by someone else. One of my favorite remakes of theirs is He's The One written by Ricky Grundy, located on their 1997 Tyscot

Technically, I'm not digging through my crates on this one, being that I broke the needle on my record player, so I haven't been able to play any records for nearly two weeks. Even though I can't play my records, I've been playing those that I transferred to cd awhile back. One album that I've been spinning lately is Georgia Mass Choir's I'm Free released in 1986 on Savoy Records. With musicians

Last month when I featured You Don't Know by CLC Youth Choir, there was a request for another of their songs, Jesus, You're Everything To Me. The song was first recorded on their 1991 album, Whatever It Takes (Word), and then later revived on their 1993 live album, Live...In The Spirit (the version which is featured here). Written by the choir's choir director, Glen Woodard, there's one line in

William Hubbard's I Love You continues to be a staple in nearly every church's worship service. The lyrics of this song proclaims the declaration of our love for our Lord. I Love You was first recorded by Edwin Hawkins Music & Arts Seminar Mass Choir on their 1985 album, Have Mercy (Birthright Records), and then later by Walt Whitman and The Soul Children of Chicago on their 1996 release, Growing

One of last month's double take features was a song Ricky Dillard recorded. As I mentioned then, only Dillard can remake a song and it'll sound just as good and at times better than the original; and in this instance, Dillard did the latter. Let's take a look at another song he and his choir remade, No Greater Love, written by Rudolph Stanfield. Ricky Dillard & New Generation Chorale recorded the

I received a request a while back to share any other Kim Burrell songs I have, so that's what I'm going to do today.

I'd like to apologize to those who I've yet to fullfill requests of songs you'd like to hear. There have been various reasons as to why I haven't from being busy to just forgetting.

I was digging through my crates last week looking for some albums for an online friend of mine and came across an album from Rev. James Cleveland's Gospel Music Workshop of America's (GMWA) Mass Choir. The album is from the 1987 convention, marking their 20th anniversary titled, Live At The Cobo Hall Convention Center, Detroit, MI (the recording was released in 1988 under King James Records, a

I know I may get a shoe or hymnal thrown at me...hehe... but I think The Anointed Pace Sisters (TAPS) are the best gospel female group of recent time (recent being from the 70's to present day). Nothing against The Clark Sisters, I love their ministry and their music, but I just happen to like The Anointed Pace Sisters more. I received a request from another site a few weeks ago to post Wonderful

I've gotten alot of emails about where to purchase TM Mass Youth Choir's 1993 release, Send Your Anointing, on TM Records. This is the album that has such songs as Rock of Ages, Send Your Anointing, and Get Away Jordan. The album is very hard to come by, that was until now. The album is for sell used and new at Amazon.com . There's only two available for sell, so if anyone is interested, I'd

Many know of John P. Kee's early work with GMWA (Gospel Music Workshop of America) and the Edwin Hawkins Music and Arts Seminar, but throughout the 80's Kee wrote numerous songs for other gospel artists well known and unknown. One song in particular is He's Coming Back. John P. Kee wrote the song as well as sung solo on it when the song appeared on the Edwin Hawkins Music and Arts Seminar Mass

When I think of contemporary gospel, one of the main artist that comes to mind that has had a strong influence over the genre in the late 80's and throughout the 90's in none other than John P. Kee. There have been countless songs of his that have ministered to me, but I wanted to share with all the John P. Kee fans out there, two songs from his earlier albums with New Life Community Choir. The

I know it's about time, right?...but I'm finally putting this up. It took me so long because there were so many songs he wrote and recorded, so I was trying to put up a few I liked that aren't already online or on cd. Well, that didn't turn out so well, so I thought I'd share the following songs below with everyone. The first song, Cost My Life is from Wright's 1976 sophmore release, Sunshine In

About a month ago a discussion came up on Learngospelmusic.com about which remakes were just as good as the originals, and one name stood out, Ricky Dillard. Many people may not know that on every album of his, he remakes a gospel oldie, and he does a great job with them too (something not many can do). It got me to thinking about what songs did he and his group record over and who sung the

I didn't want to showcase any more Rev. Timothy Wright songs until Friday, but when I got an email request about a song he sung, I couldn't hold out until Friday. Today's double take song is You Don't Know written by Timothy Wright. It was first recorded in 1987 by Timothy Wright and Jerome L.

Yesterday was day filled with confusion and sadness when news broke of Reverend Timothy Wright's car accident. The accident took the life of his wife, Evangelist Betty J. Wright and left their grandson along with Wright critically injured. It saddens me even more to hear that D.J. Wright, Rev. Wright's grandson passed away yesterday.

As some you may have heard by now, the Godfather of Gospel, Rev. Timothy Wright, along with his wife, Evangelist Betty Wright, and his grandson, D.J. Wright were involved in a car accident late last night. I have heard for sure that his wife has passed on and that he and his grandson were on life support. I don't like to report things I'm not 100% sure of, but by the reports on various news sites

When you think of Edwin Hawkins, a few things come to mind: Oh Happy Day, The Edwin Hawkins Singers, and his Music and Arts Seminars, just to name a few. For me, his Music and Arts Seminar albums are a favorite of mine. There's one album in particular that I still play to this day which is Hold On, the album he produced for The Bay Area Chapter Choir of the Music and Arts Seminar in 1987 on

Rev. James Cleveland's Gospel Music Workshop of America (GMWA) gave many a great artists and musicians to floruish and go out on their own to spread the good news. One artist that did just that was John P. Kee. Though Kee wasn't new to the gospel scene, it was his songs that he wrote and presented to GMWA that made him well known nationwide and started many a gospel music listeners' appreciation

Though Rev. Milton Brunson & The Thompson Community Singers have been around since the late 40's, early 50's , it's his recordings from the 80's and 90's that made me a fan of their ministry. There's nothing more that I could say about them that hasn't already been said or written, so I'm just going to post a few my favorite songs of theirs to show my appreciation for what they've contributed to

As you all know by now, I listen to a lot of gospel music from the 80's to 90's, much of it is traditional and contemporary gospel. Although I don't emphasize it here, I do listen to other styles of Christian music, one genre I'm slowly listening to is urban gospel. Surprisingly there are many other artist out there that I'm slowly becoming exposed to. One artist that's been under my radar until

In lieu of Damita Haddon's upcoming release next month, I thought today's double take will feature a song of hers. Some may remember that Damita Bass (before she married Deitrick Haddon) started out in a gospel girl group called Adoration 'N Praise, their only release (at least that I'm aware of) was Time Is Running Out released in 1991 on TM (Truth Ministries) Records. On that album, there was a

What can I say about Wrapped Up, Tied Up, Tangled Up, that hasn't been said before?... not much with the exception that what makes this song works and moves anyone who hears it is the lyrical and musical simplicity of it (a hint to those up and coming and/or established gospel artists) . It also doesn't help that you have a composer such as John Askew (composer of Jonathan Greer's He's Worthy)

You could expect to get your money's worth and not only that, but be blessed by the entire album.

The year was 1999 when a small group out of Chicago, IL by the name of New Direction made a big mark on the gospel charts nationwide with their single, Worship Christ penned by Chicago's own Percy Gray, Jr. The song was released on their self-titled debut album on Word Entertainment. The young people in this group sung this with so much energy, which without it wouldn't have done two things;

Like many who can recall their young days of listening to gospel music, remember first listening to it not only in the church, but in the car on Sunday mornings heading to and from church as well. My mom would always turn it to KTSU (Texas Southern University's radio station) and I'd hear the latest from The Richard Smallwood Singers, Rev. Milton GMWA Mass Choir, which pretty much ruled the

Ask someone what's one of the songs that they always hear being sung as a solo either at their church or when they visit other churches, and When I See Jesus may be one that comes to mind. Still sung in many churches, this 80's classic is one of my faves. The lyrics speak of the anticipation of seeing Jesus in heaven, a day I personally can't wait for. The song was penned by Douglas Miller and

(The following is a post I wrote a few years ago on the old blog with a few rewrites in between :-) )So I had to do a Kim McFarland post, just had to. Ms. McFarland is blessed to have a such a beautiful voice to minister with. For those who haven't heard of her, she's featured on the song We Are One on Walt Whitman and The Soul Children of Chicago's 1988 debut We Are One (in which she co-wrote

This week's double take song is The Good Shepherd penned by V. Michael McKay. The lyrics speak of Jesus being The Good Shepherd as referenced in John 10:11, loving and guiding us, never leaving us alone, always tending to our needs. The song was first recorded by the Gospel Music Workshop of America Mass Choir (GMWA) on their 1989 release, Live In St. Louis, Missouri on Savoy Records. The song

There's alot of people nowadays trying to find gospel albums they listened to back in the day for sale on compact disc or available for purchase via Itunes, Walmart, ect. but finding out it's simply not available. That leaves some trying to remaster their own collections from lps and cassette tapes to digital and others who may not know how to do that longing to hear those songs again. Thankfully

Hello to everyone, I pray everyone has been doing well. I've been a little under the weather for the past two days, but hopefully I'm feeling better by Monday. I wanted to write a little about the song and the artist featured today but didn't and for that I apologize. However I wanted to share with everyone a song from each of TM (Truth Ministry) Mass Youth Choir's albums: * Rejoice In The Lord

Jeffrey LaValley is probably best known for writing Revelation 19:1 (whose title is often mistaken for Hallelujah, Salvation, and Glory) recorded by New Jerusalem Baptist Church Choir and most recently by Stephen Hurd; however LaValley is another songwriter whose songs always minister to me. This week's double take features his song True Victory which is about Jesus returning for us and taking us

Hello to everyone, I pray everyone is doing well. This is just an update as to what's to come very soon for the blog. As you all know I'm still trying to figure out what to post here, I really want this to be an outlet for various types of gospel music, the problem I'm facing is what to do. I've admired such pioneer site such as Gospelflava, Contempogospel, Ken's Gospel Crib, and Nuthinbutgospel,

When Alaska Mass Choir hit the scene in 2001, I was excited, mainly because they covered COGIC International Mass Choir's Right Now God which I hadn't heard in years. When I had the chance to purchase the album was I surprised that Dorinda Clark-Cole was nearly all over this album. There were alot of songs that stood out on the album, but the laid-back groove of Joy, Great Joy stuck out

Below are tracks to preview from Tye Tribbett & Greater Anointing's upcoming release, Standout that will hit stores May 6, 2008. I'm excited about the upcoming album, I've heard good reviews about it from those who attended the recording. So what are your thoughts about the tracks on this album, are you feeling the album as a whole or not; I would like to know what you think by commenting in the

Tried Him And I Know HimMattie Moss Clark & The Southern California Holy Gospel Music Workshop (1986)(click on album to listen)Looking back on songs the late Dr. Mattie Moss Clark sang, this has to be among my top five. I've been an unbeknownst fan of songs she's written or has had presented by other up and coming songwrtiters including her daughter, affectionately known as Twinkie. Why

I was talking with a good friend of mine and asking his opinion of more things that should be featured here. One suggestion of his I thought was a great idea and that's to showcase so-to-speak songs that the are widely known or made popular by other artists but were orginally recorded by another artists (hope that makes sense...lol). I've searched the web and have seen that there's a lot of

I know some may be wondering, "what's up with all the throwbacks on here," if so the blog isn't going to focus just on gospel throwbacks. The reason alot of these are up because I've shared these on other forums and because I'm trying to get back in the hang of blogging, the html codes, ect., I'm placing these up here for the time being. A bright side to this, many people still haven't heard

I guess I can go ahead and admit I'm a fan of Yolanda Adams' ministry...but not so much of her recent material overall. I don't know what it is, but personally her music/singing doesn't move me as much as it used to. Now Yolanda Adams back in the day was on fire...she brought something special to the track that just made it an instant classic and favorite. So I reached though my collection and

Praise Him -1990(Click on album to listen)Win The World For Christ was the debut album of GMWA Youth Mass Choir on the Sweet Rain label and is one of my favorite albums from them. As you all know GMWA (Gospel Music Workshop of America) has introduced us to so many great gospel talents that later became well known to the world. This album was no different, it introduced us to Kim Burrell singing

"He Did It All For Us" can be found on their album God's Way Is A Way Out on the GTS record label.

This was also written by John P. Kee who also leads the song.If you don't own this album or have a copy, it's a must to own. You not only have John P.
