Fab Five!!-Praise is What We Do
This week’s Fab Five is what’s being listened to on gospel radio right now. They are from the top 10 popular songs according to Nielsen. Gospel radio has always played an important part in the African-American community. I’m sure many of us can remember getting up Sunday morning to the smell of biscuits and bacon and gospel music blaring in the background.
Gospel music has come a long way. Even though the beats, melodies, and production have changed, the message has remained the same. Support your local gospel radio station! You can listen to many of them online now. My favorite thing to do in the morning is to tune in to Houston’s Praise 92.1 FM. I love to listen to Yolanda Adam’s and comedian Marcus D. Wiley.
1. ”Praise On The Inside”-J. Moss is a part of urban contemporary’s hottest production companies, PAJAM, and has been an instrumental part of some of gospel music’s biggest hits. His father, Bill Moss, Sr., was the founder and leader of the popular gospel act, Bill Moss & the Celestials. He is the nephew of Dr. Mattie Moss Clark and cousin of the Clark sisters.
2. “Never Would Have Made It”-Marvin Sapp-This song was on last weeks Fab Five, but it deserves another mention because it’s breaking all kind of records. It’s been #1 on gospel radio for six consecutive months and is the only gospel song in the country that is number one at a mainstream radio station. Marvin gave a great performance of this song on BET’s Celebration of Gospel. Be sure to visit the squidoo page that is in tribute to Marvin Sapp.
3. “One God”-Maurette Brown Clark-Awww………how cute! Be sure to take a peek at Maurette’s picture with her daughter, Jada, on her website. I’ve loved Maurette since her first single “Breaking of Day” hit gospel radio in 1998. She received the Stellar Award for Best New Artist in 1999.
4. “Call Jesus”-Bruce Parham-Love this song! We’ve all been disappointed by people that we thought we could count on. Call on Jesus and He’ll be right there!
5. “He’s Done Enough”-Beverly Crawford-I can relate to the words of this song. Even if God doesn’t do anything else for me, I thank Him for what He’s done already. But the good news is, He wants to bless us beyond our wildest dreams.
