Ahh it was an inspired idea. You get a reunion of some of the top members of the group together and then you get them to record some of the best Gaither songs. I strongly recommend it – and this beauty is one of the reasons why. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More The King Is Coming – Gaither Vocal BandI really enjoyed putting on the last blog on Elvis singing gospel especially for the insightful view on Elvis and his gospel roots as it related to his understanding of different cultures. It remains an ongoing tragedy that the very songs he sung which could have ministered to him in his time of need were […]
Read More Elvis Sings Gospel – Precious LordIt’s a brilliant female vocal lead before handing over to the main man, but this is just one of those songs that you can take on board and chill out on as well as enjoying choir work near the peak of the game. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More Friends – Perfected Praise Choir featuring Marvin WinansAh. Daryl Coley. Many brilliant gospel vocalists. Only one Daryl Coley. Inimitable. Doesn’t begin to cover it with a character like him. He is simply majestic in his creative use of the vocal chords that he’s obviously been blessed by God. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get to see him in a live convert […]
Read More To Live Is Christ – Daryl ColeyIt’s the early 1990’s, possibly even the very late 1980’s, but if it is that late, they can’t get in and we’ll have to leave it at the early 1990’s. At the time I was being very conscious of the music played by my sister and my mother. I remember seeing the album cover of […]
Read More Waymaker – Tramaine HawkinsIt wasn’t that long ago before I posted something about getting Marvin’s latest album entitled Alone But Not Alone. I don’t know if we’ll ever read his biography or even autobiography, but this song plays a good part in sharing a bit about himself in that vague kinda way that seeks to connect to others. […]
Read More Alone But Not Alone – Marvin WinansThere are a number of versions of this song doing the rounds going from efforts like this to more solo black-gospel style versions. It’s not uncommon to hear this sung in crusades and large meetings from tele-evangelists, etc. (I’ll leave that to you to decipher if that’s a good or bad thing, but it is […]
Read More Oh The Glory Of Your PresenceThere is a very real danger of loving music for the effect it has on you and so leaning more towards music power rather than the power of the spirit of the song itself especially as expressed in the truth of the words that make it. I believe in the therapeutic power of music and […]
Read More This Is The Time – Terry MacAlmonI forget. I have to acknowledge that. Due to that independent aspect of my character that needs to have all the answers and be the top dog, it’s not as yet automatic to remember, but there are reminders like this. The issue I forget is that the scripture informs me that that greater is He […]
Read More Greater Is He In Me – The Crabb FamilyWas Elvis even the king of his own household let alone rock and roll? Hey, ask Priscilla, she would know. What I do know is that there can be no denying the impact he made on the world of music as a whole. Something I found bizarre in his promotion of a music of rebellion […]
