Old School Friday VI

V.I.P. Music and Arts Seminar Mass Choir
Lily In The Valley (1993)




I look foward to John P. Kee's workshop choir releases every year. Lily In The Valley is near the top of my list as V.I.P.'s favorite recording, the first being Never Shall Forget . Saved is a favorite of mine, it has that John P. Kee signature sound to it too. The song is simply rejoicing in the fact that we're saved. Then there's Cast Your Cares. Now I think Donald Malloy is leading it, I'm not sure because I don't have the booklet in front of me; in any case, another great song. But the other two standouts are Only A Prayer Away and Jesus, written by the talented Becky White (she's an awesome composer, alot of her material has been covered by various gospel artists throughout the years). All in all, a great album to be filled by.







I'm throwing up another John P. Kee album, Blessed By Association. It's not that old, but it's good. My picks: He's The Greatest, At The Cross, and Oh How Wondrous.

I'm going to try to work a bit more on this blog because I have so much I want to share. I'll be sharing some "gospel jazz" next time. I'm out, enjoy your weekend!
