Goodies: "The Question Is"

Will this song EVER get old?  No, no no no no no… ;-)

This particular performance of The Winans’ “The Question Is” is from an annual Christmas event that takes place in Chicago called Christmas Glory.  The late, but great Ron Winans isn’t with them at this point, but the performance is still awesome.

Whatd’ya think???

Goodies: The Winans & Michael McDonald

Most folks know that one of my favorite male vocalists is Marvin Winans.  If I take a moment to think about it, though, Michael McDonald follows not too far behind.

Imagine my sheer delight as I watched this live performance of The Winans’ “Love Has No Color,” featuring Michael McDonald.  I’ve always loved the studio track, but to watch ‘em live… there are NO words.  And, an aside: Carvin is doing his good singin’ on here, too.

What’s your favorite song from The Winans?

Slept On: Marvin Winans – Alone But Not Alone

New series. :mrgreen: I had a chat with a good friend the other day about an album that we thought was severely overlooked by folks– Marvin Winans’ Alone But Not Alone.  And that convo was the impetus for this new series on GospelPundit.comSlept On.

It’s gonna feature artists and albums that were underrated or overlooked by consumers and the gospel industry.  Hopefully, we can talk about good music ministries that should’ve gotten more attention than they received.  If you’ve got some ideas for folks that should be featured, email me at ej@gospelpundit.com.

In the meantime, back to Marvin Winans.  It was his loooooooooong-awaited debut solo album, he was singing like nobody’s business AND it featured some great guest artists– Carvin Winans, Deshondra Rideout, the late Ron Winans, Kim Burrell with Take 6 on bgv’s… Tommy Sims writing on it and what not… what more could you WANT?!

Listen here to one of my faves, “I Still Believe.”  The lyrics, bgvs, the VAMP…

Anybody have it and LOVE it like I do?  Anybody decided to pass on it and care to explain why?  Anybody wanna tell me why folks Slept On it?!

Talk to me!
