Follow up to Fab Five

 

Marvin Sapp’s album entitled Thirsty is now in the #1 spot on the Billboard charts! It replaces Bishop Noel Jones Welcome To The City, which was in the #1 spot for the past two weeks.

Marvin is a multiple Stellar Award-winner and Grammy-nominee and has one of the most recognizable voices in gospel music. Sapp declared himself, “not a singer who can preach, but rather a preacher who just happens to sing.”  This CD was recorded live before a capacity crowd with producers Aaron Lindsey, Myron Butler, his choir Levi, and New Breed.

Gospel music is shaking up Billboard! The Clark Sisters, Live One Last Time has been on the charts for the past 13 weeks, WOW Gospel 2007 has been on for the past 23 weeks, and J. Moss has been burning up the charts for the past 14 weeks. Juanita Bynum’s, A Piece Of My Passion, has been on for an impressive 78 weeks. This tells me that these are some great albums and people are enjoying them.

Fab Five!!-Five From The Top Five

I love to see great gospel music CD’s on the Billboard Charts! Gospel music is such a powerful medium. The lively beats, energy, and encouraging lyrics uplift our souls. It is rich in history and still relevant to us today. It’s our comfort when things are not going so great in our lives, and it’s the music that we choose to praise and worship God. Listed below are the top five gospel albums for this week:

1. Bishop Noel Jones-Welcome to the City-Bishop Jones has been blessing his city for years through his preaching ministry and the album debut of his choir has been highly anticipated. This album has been receiving great reviews and is making it’s first appearance on the Billboard Charts. Features Donnie McClurkin and Deitrick and Damita Haddon.

2. Wow #1’s-This title is certainly correct! The two-disc, 30-song collection has some of the most popular #1 gospel songs from the past decade. Some of my favorites on the CD are Helen’s Testimony (Helen Baylor), God Has Not 4Got (Tonex), and Set Me Free (Myron Butler & Levi ). The Clark Sound is well represented with J. Moss, Karen Clark-Sheard, Dorinda Clark-Cole, and KiKi Sheard. WOW Gospel #1’s would be a great addition to your gospel music collection!

3. The Clark Sisters-Live: One Last Time-One of my favorite groups! My favs on this CD are “I Like Living This Kind Of Life”, Blessed and Highly Favored” and the vintage “You Brought The Sunshine”. There is also a DVD available. When you get a chance, visit our Clark Sisters tribute page and vote for your favorite video.

4. Wow Gospel 2007-Any of the Wow series of CD’s are a great addition to your gospel music collection and a wonderful gift to give someone who needs to be encouraged. This CD has 30 of the years top songs from artists such as Tye Tribbett, Kurt Carr, George Hull, Israel Houghton, and Yolanda Adams. Check this…..it has the awesome DeWayne Woods song “Let Go”. That song is really hot in Houston right now!

5. J. Moss-V2… The J Moss Project-The follow-up to his hit debut, this CD was produced by PAJAM and is a great showcase for Moss’ smooth and expressive vocals. Guest appearances by Kirk Franklin, his aunt Karen Clark Sheard, Marvin Winans and Byron Cage.

Notes From My Church-God’s Love For Us

PLACE:Lakewood Church-Houston, Tx
Joel Osteen, Pastor

DATE: Saturday, July 8, 2007
TIME: 7:00 p.m.

THE MUSIC:

Worship Team: Steve Crawford, Da’dra Crawford Greathouse, Choir & Band
Songs: Come In From The Outside, We Win, We Have Overcome, We’ve Come To Worship, Majesty, So We Lift, Turn It Around

Steve and Da’adra, the duo otherwise known as the brother and sister team Anointed, led worship. They are such a great pair to listen to because of the great chemistry they have on stage from many years of singing together. Their energy and passion for what they do is contagious and they give 100% every single time they hit the stage. It’s been great to hear many of their songs played on the radio recently. A favorite of mine is “Gonna Lift Your Name on High” from the Now Is the Time CD.

The Lakewood Church Children’s Choir blessed us with a song. They are always such a treat to listen to, because they are so cute. They did a great rendition of “You Are The One” by Lincoln Brewster led by Michael Woelfel. I first heard Michael sing during Camp KidsLife. He has a great voice that is very distinctive. My little one recognized him as the praise and worship leader from his class and talked about the energy he displays during worship time. Take a look at the kiddies in action. Thanks Greg for the video!
