President Obama honored on gospel CD

President Barack Obama is still being celebrated as the first African-American president of the United States.

Every day, while he makes news with decisions he is making to guide the country as its commander and chief, the reality of his historic administration continues to be worth talking about, writing about and now singing about.

Israel Houghton, Donnie McClurkin, Dottie Peoples, T.D. Jakes' Potter House Mass Choir, Juanita Bynum and others are singing in his honor on A Gospel Tribute to President Obama.

McClurkin contributes the affirmation “King Inside of Me” while gold-selling artist Israel Houghton offers “Send Me to the Nations.” Veteran vocalist Jerard Woods sings “I’m Gonna Make It,” and William Murphy lends his voice to “Changes.”

Micah Stampley’s tenor vocals are mixed with Michael O’Brien’s jazzy tones on “Brothers and Friends.”

There is also a tribute to Michelle Obama by R&B veterans Kelly Price and Shirley Murcdock who sing “The Curtain’s Raised.”

Most of the selections on the CD were produced by Victor and Cedric Caldwell, who have worked with artists ranging from Whitney Houston to Take 6. Other producers include Kevin Bond, Marc Harris, Tommy Sims and Myron Williams.
