Dunno how many of you know the name, but I’m sure that a bunch of you know her songs. Lawonda Campbell is probably best known for her lead vocals with Hezekiah Walker & The Love Fellowship Crusade Choir– she leads “Sweeter As The Days Go By” and “To Be Like Jesus” with a soft, mellow and jazzy tone that can QUICKLY flip to a churchy powerhouse soprano.  Classic!

Well, apparently, she’s been suffering from several health problems lately. Most recently, she had a stroke earlier this year. Like MANY of our gospel greats who fall ill or get older, she’s facing financial hardship as it relates to her medical bills.

Friends For Lawonda is a benefit fund with the goal of raising funds for her various medical expenses.  To assist in this endeavor, there will be a benefit concert in Chicago on December 7th– click here for more details about the concert and to make an online donation.

To remind you of who Lawonda is, I’m embedding one of my favorite Love Fellowship songs featuring her vocals… here’s “To Be Like Jesus”:

Who remembers THAT good singing?! Let’s try to help our sister out. At the very least, pray.
