Shirley Caesar at Florida A&M University
Gospel music fans filled Lee Hall Auditorium at Florida A&M University to see Grammy Award winning artist Shirley Caesar.
After an invocation by Reverend Larry Hunt of the FAMU Ministerial Board, FAMU’s esteemed gospel choir took to the stage to deliver two powerful selections. After that, it was all about Caesar. The powerhouse songstress shimmied in a dazzling pink dress, while belting out a gospel number along with the members of the FAMU gospel choir. The crowd rose to its feet and kept Caesar going.
Caesar, in a moment of inspiration, kindly dismissed the choir and took over the stage. "I wish I could keep ya’ll," said Caesar, who has recorded more than 40 albums since the 1960’s, "but I don’t think ya’ll could hang quite as long as I can." Along with her talented quartet, The Caesar Singers, the vibrant pastor entertained guests with songs like "I’ll Say Yes," "Jesus, I love Calling your Name," and Ammons’ personal favorite, "If You Can Make It."
Pastor Shirley Caesar has been singing for over 40 years! It’s great to see her continuing to do what she loves.
