As we told you in May, some of Gospel’s best leading men are coming together to form the supergroup ‘Five Men.’
Path MEGAzine was first to report that Doug and Melvin Williams of The Williams Brothers, Wess Morgan, Shawn McLemore, and R&B crooner Christopher Williams were joining forces. The veteran artists just released their first press photo confirming the news.
The group originally called themselves Five Guys, but they’ve now settled on ‘Five Men’ as their moniker.
Shawn McLemore, exclusively told PATH MEGAzine, “You can expect praise and worship and some cross-over tunes, but what really makes the group unique is our individual testimonies.” “I’m dealing with the heart situation.. the heart attack, and how God delivered me out of that. And Christopher Williams who’s dealt with the drug situation, Wess Morgan who overcame crack cocaine, and how God survived him out of that, and then Melvin and Doug Williams going through their issues as brothers.” “This record is bound for greatness and bound to touch lives.”
Melvin Williams and Doug Williams and are no stranger to quartet music having been apart of the award winning group ‘The Williams Brothers.’ With recent solo efforts credited to Melvin. Soulfoul singer Pastor Wess Morgan went to the top of the Gospel Billboard chart with his smash hit ‘I Choose to Worship.’ Shawn McLemore has seen success as a solo artist, but is perhaps best known for lending the soaring vocals on James Fortunes’ hit ‘I Believe.’ Lastly, R&B singer Christopher Williams who is best known for his #1 hits in the 90′s ‘Every Little Thing You Do,’ ‘Promises, Promises,’ and the single ‘I’m Dreamin.’
One of the early producers working on the album is the highly sought after Stan Jones. Writers on board include Shawn McLemore, Doug Williams, and Marcus Cole.
“5 Guys” are now slated to release their first single in September.
