Life has given Gary Samuels some tough pills to swallow. From childhood abuse, a cancer diagnosis, paralysis, partial blindness and the death of a child, he’s had more than his share. But through it all, God was there and healed him from it all. His experiences have been the impetus for his latest release, Grace of God. The EP contains the BDS-charting, lead single, “Grace of God”, an inspiring song about the Lord’s mercy. Now, Samuels will be performing the song (and others) at two appearances in Atlanta this week.
The Harlem native will be traveling to the Peach State on Wednesday, June 6, 2012 to perform live on ATLANTA LIVE. The program will air live on the 6th at 7PM EST. Encore
presentations air weekday mornings from 7 – 9 AM EST. In addition, one hour of ATLANTA LIVE is seen nationwide on NRB Network seen on DirecTV every weekday morning at 8AM EST. Fans of the artist can also see Samuels perform live by logging on to www.watc.tv on Wednesday evening. While in Atlanta, Samuels will also be performing on Babbie’s House, the talk show of famed Christian artist Babbie Mason. Samuels will perform two songs and sit down to talk with Mason about his songs and his life. A future air date will be announced.
One of fifteen children, Gary Samuels was surrounded by music with a father who was a Jazz pianist, and a mother who was a pianist and singer. After honing his chops at church, he sung for countless choirs including the Martin Luther King, Jr. Choir and The United Negro College Fund Choir. It wasn’t until his cancer diagnosis in 1984 when his calling in Gospel Music was solidified. After a miraculous healing, he knew that God still had His hand on him. Now with the release of his new single, he has an opportunity to tell the world about the favor of God on his life. “‘Grace of God’ is my testimony,” says Samuels. “Satan not only wanted my life, but he wanted my soul. But God said, ‘not so’.”
