  Coko, the former lead singer of the platinum recording trio Sisters With Voices (SWV) is set to release her second gospel CD entitled, ‘The Winner in Me’ on Light Records.

     Her signature powerhouse vocals are unmistakable. And the first release called 'Wait On God' is a classic gospel tune brimming with emotion and inspiration.

     Coko, whose real name is Cheryl Gamble, began her recording career as a choir member in Hezekiah Walker’s Love Fellowship Tabernacle Choir. In 1990 Coko formed the group Female Edition and later renamed it SWV. After their breakup some eight years later, Coko released one solo R&B album then signed onto a gospel label and married music producer Mike "Big Mike" Clemmons who is the father of her second son, Jalen.

     Coko's full gospel solo debut, Grateful, was released in 2006 and debuted at #5 on Billboard's Top Independent albums chart. So her upcoming CD has great expectations.

     Kelly Price, who also established a following in the R&B genre before crossing over to gospel, is a guest artist on Coko’s CD. Other guest artists include Canton Jones, Israel Haughton and Lady (Cyde) Tibba (Gamble) who is Coko’s mother. The CD will be available in mid July.

After a successful 2008 inaugural run, Verizon Wireless presents the 2009 edition of the How Sweet The Sound church choir competition. This national competition gives church choirs in 11 cities the opportunity to perform and compete for the title of "The Best Church Choir in America" and up to $50,000 in cash and prizes.

David "Pop" Winans, Sr, famed patriarch of the musical Winans dynasty, passed on April 8, 2009, in Nashville, TN. Winans suffered an initial heart attack and subsequent strokes in the fall of 2008. He was 74 years old. Winans, along with wife Delores Winans formed the group Mom & Pop Winans and released two albums collectively with their 1989 self-titled album garnering a GRAMMY nomination. In 1999, Winans released his solo effort titled Uncensored, garnering yet another GRAMMY nomination. Arguably, Winans' greatest contribution to this industry was his family that produced ten children and the musical presentations of BeBe & CeCe Winans, The Winans,Angie & Debbie, Daniel Winans, and Michael Winans to name a few. Winans' most recent recorded effort can be found on BeBe Winans' 2006 release titled Cherch. In recent years, Winans and wife, Delores, have been regulars at Benny Hinn crusades as well as TBN's Praise The Lord program. There will be a memorial service and viewing for Winans on Tuesday, April 14, 2009 at 7pm. The Homegoing Celebration will take place on Wednesday, April 15, 2009 at 10am. Both services will take place at Perfecting Church in Detroit, MI, where Winans' son Marvin Winans is pastor. GOSPELflava.com joins with many family and friends in mourning the passing of this legendary Gospel pioneer.

It’s been five years since Donnie McClurkin’s last CD and yet his mass appeal remains strong as he lands in the #1 position on Billboard’s Gospel Sales Chart. 

     Addition, the CD is #7 on Billboard’s R&B Albums Chart, #26 on its Top-200 Albums Chart, and #1 on CMTA’s Top Christian/Gospel Albums Chart.  The first single, “Wait on the Lord,” featuring Karen Clark Sheard, is #2 most added and #2 most increased spins at radio. 

     This past Sunday, Pastor McClurkin and Perfecting Faith Church held services at noon at the David. S. Mack Sports & Exhibition Complex at Hofstra University in New York.  

     Last week, McClurkin made a special guest appearance at New York’s J&R Music World, and more than 300 fans stood four hours in a line wrapping around the block to have their CDs signed by the artist.  The most remarkable experience that fans took home was the poise and grace that McClurkin held as he greeted each fan individually, spending nearly three minutes with everyone to thank them greatly for their ongoing support and, in many cases, offering his own words of encouragement.

     “We all are one (Live in Detroit)” is receiving rave reviews from press.

     Christianitytoday.com says “when it comes to top-flight contemporary Gospel, the minister leaves no stone unturned and offers a near-spotless crop of self-penned praise anthems, ballads and sing-alongs that simply beg to be heard in local sanctuaries.”

     Gospelflava.com calls the CD “…a body of work filled with excellence in both musical and lyrical presentation.”  

     Released March 31, “We all are one (Live in Detroit)”  is the third #1 debut for McClurkin, following the trend set by the 2003 release of “Donnie McClurkin…Again” and the 2004 release of “Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs.” 

     “We all are one (Live in Detroit)” is an eclectic recording that McClurkin says was created to magnify the glory of God and how wonderful He is, and to remind listeners that “despite differing opinions, backgrounds, ethnicities and religious affiliations – we all are one, we’re one family.”

Our break through artist of the month is Bishop Bobby Hilton.  Bishop Hilton is the overseer of the Mega-Church Word of Deliverance in Cincinnati, Ohio.  The talented Bishop Hilton is a preacher, songwriter, author, and artist.  Bishop Bobby Hilton has made long strides with his catch single and album titled, “God Did That Thing.”  The album features Twinkie Clark, and on the Path Bishop Hilton discusses the meaning of the single that is seeing increased airtime on radio stations across the country.  “I first heard the single by e-blast 2 months ago.” “I knew it would catch on,” says publisher Kris Patrick.  The song has an affirmative message that God will do what he says he will do.  What better way to say that then “God Did That Thing!” 

Tune in now for more on the soulful single with a powerful message.  Welcome Bishop Bobby Hilton on the Path.
