Donald Lawrence - Best of Donald Lawrence & Co - Music & Performance - CD

2014 compilation of hits from one of the most influential figures in modern Gospel music. After a stint as music director for Soul legend Stephanie Mills, Lawrence made a splash in the Gospel world by reshaping the regional Tri-City Singers and transforming them into an internationally acclaimed choir. The creative mind of the Grammy Award winning producer, composer and recording artist has set the standard for excellence in the Gospel music field over the last two decades with signature #1 radio smashes such as 'Back II Eden,' 'Encourage Yourself' and 'The Blessing of Abraham' which spent 18 weeks at #1 on Billboard magazine's Hot Gospel Songs radio chart. Lawrence blends the classicism of traditional Gospel music and retro soul grooves with uplifting messages of self-affirmation. Featuring 15 of his most popular hits, THE BEST OF Donald Lawrence & CO. Is the ultimate choir collection, including 'Healed,' 'I Speak Life' and 'Spiritual.'

What sets Donald Lawrence's praise & worship songs apart from many in the genre is the way he weaves personal stories and situations into the mix, making his best pieces a bit like sung sermons, with a narrative flow, a point to make, morals to draw, and redemptive phrases and singing to bring it all home. This set collects 15 of Lawrence's best, drawn from releases over the last decade or so, and each track illustrates the approach that has made him such a popular modern gospel artist. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
