This was inspiring for me to listen to on a Monday morning. Musically, it is diverse...but the message is still the same. Traditional Gospel, Soul, Funk, R&B, and even Rock (if you picked up some of his work with DC Talk). Sounds of Blackness is the only group that has that type of diversity in the same message. Though not achieving the same popularity as Kirk Franklin, Gospel Contemporary music isn't just Black music anymore. Listen to Martha Munizzi's work. She's like the Tina Marie of Contemporary Gospel. ;) Thanks Kalamu. This was inspiring for me to listen to on a Monday morning. Musically, it is diverse…but the message is still the same.

Just a thought. David and Tamala Mann are all over the early album covers.
