Word has it that Marvin Winans, Jr. will be enlisting the vocal services of his father, Pastor Marvin L. Winans, Sr., for his sophomore album!
In addition, Winans (Jr.) will again be working with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins to recreate some of the production magic they captured on his debut album, Image Of A Man.
He also plans to have some tracks produced by Israel Houghton & Aaron Lindsey.
This could be reeeeaaaally good…
Anyone watch Bobby Jones Gospel yesterday?
I dunno if I enjoyed the line-up, though I typically enjoy the artists individually. I DID, however, enjoy watching Damita Haddon. It was Damita Haddon WEEKEND for me! LOL. Anyway, she and her background vocalists sounded great. Good stuff. I feel fanaticism creeping in… 
On the Generation Gospel front, I didn’t like this episode as much as previous ones, but it was consistent.
I’ll note that the “Tye’s Tidbits” section was rather bare on the… bits. Now that January is over, there’s not as much to talk about in the gospel industry for a minute. Everyone is recuperating from the Stellars.
And what the heck were they talking about on the “J Sells” segment with Jermaine Sellers? On his left was some 32-year old lady talking about being pure and how she can help everyone with their own purity, and on his right was African-American bestseller, Zane, who has been dubbed “The Queen of Erotic Fiction,” and has just released a new book, the title of which I cannot, in good conscience, say on this blog. What exactly was the take-away from this segment??? 
The performances were cool: Spensha Baker sang her remake of the Clark Sisters’ “Hallelujah.” To be only 15 years old, she’s got a VOICE on her! And Marvin Winans, Jr. performed and did an interview, too. Cool.
Like I said in my earlier post, Juda Camp won the choir battle, so they’re the new house choir. I still want them to sing DURING the show, not just as we go to commercial breaks, but if you like it, I love it.
Thoughts, anyone???
