Many will wonder with all that Kirk Franklin is doing these days, when does he get to sleep? The multiple Grammy and Stellar award winner is well on his way to solidly earning the moniker as “the hardest working man in show business”. Our friends over at SiriusXM shared a Kirk Franklin moment with us where the man of many hats shares his vision for his new radio venture and gives an impromptu performance of his hit SMILE.
Since we couldn’t get enough of SHINE, our friends over at Motown Gospel decided to treat us to the cover for the new Sheri Jones Moffett Live CD as well as whet our appetite with a few tracks from Power and Authority Live In Memphis. Take a look and listen, then let us know what you think:
