With the news this week of Dorothy Norwood launching her very own Dorothy Norwood Music Group imprint , many gospel insiders wondered if this would be the vehicle Norwood will use for the release of the follow up to the 2006 Caravans Paved the Way CD.
Evangelist Norwood informed Gospelflava back in 2008 of plans to release another session from the group that introduced the world to the likes of the late Queen of Gospel Albertina Walker, the late Reverend James Cleveland, Inez Andrews, Delois Washington and Evangelist Shirley Caesar. Paved the Way was a resounding success debuting at #7 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums charts and remained on the charts for an impressive 22 weeks. The CD received multiple award nominations, including a Soul Train, Dove , Grammy and three Stellar Award Nominations.
