Roy Cotton II remembers church the way it used to be. Every Sunday, he looked forward to the beginning of service as he knew to expect the choir to do an anthem and a hymn in its selection of music before they launched into the standard Gospel music medley. This rich tradition was one he carried with him as he grew in skill and (musical) stature, matriculating through the prestigious Hampton University and serving as minister of music at churches across the country.
Cotton brings the lighter fluid to kindle the flame that heightens our awareness and appreciation of hymns in the worship experience. Bring Back the Hymns gathers Gospel music’s finest including Kathy Taylor, Chrystal Rucker, Bishop Paul S. Morton, Chester D.T. Baldwin, Dr. Judith Christie-McAllister, Oscar Williams and Candy West to celebrate the songs that serve as the foundation of the Church. Cotton’s SoundShed worship technology company leads the way in providing STEMS (separated tracks enhancing musicians and singers) for Hymns to be used in churches nationwide. In proof and validation of his full investment in the Hymns movement, his 4 year old goes around the house impressing family and friends with his knowledge of the first and fourth verses of Revive Us Again.
Bring Back the Hymns makes its official debut August 30th.

GOSPELflava joins others across the nation mourning the passing of Gentry McCreary, Sr, a giant in the Gospel Music industry. In his over 40 year career, McCreary worked promoting records to radio for a number of labels including Birthright, Word, Light and Benson. His affiliation with Light Records led to the first solo album from Rev. James Moore, Brothers and Sisters, I Will Be Praying For You in 1981. McCreary’s legacy was cemented with his work at the Onyx label, where he would introduce the world to the Richard Smallwood Singers, Vanessa Bell Armstrong and Bishop Paul S Morton in addition to defining albums from Keith Pringle, Danniebelle Hall and Thomas Whitfield. Moving to the Plumbline label, McCreary orchestrated albums from Daryl Coley and Lecresia Campbell.

What can be said about Samuel R. Blakes? To his credit, he is an “of note with no doubt” gospel preacher. He serves as Senior Pastor of New Home Ministries, a multi-location ministry in Baton 
Rouge and New Orleans Louisiana and he inspires the masses via his weekly telecast on the Word Network. Most important, Bishop Blakes knows the importance of close connection with God through prayer as expressed in God Wants To Hear From You, the new single from his debut CD, I Survived. As he sings from personal experience, he is able to convey a message of hope and inspire and uplift people from all walks of life. The single is available on iTunes and has connected with audiences reaching well into the top 50 on the radio charts. Look for the full project featuring guest appearances from Bishop Paul S. Morton and David Hollister with production assistance from master producer Pharis Evans, Jr. later this year.
