Shawn McLemore’s CD release party was one to remember. The heartfelt expressions of respect from industry peers and executives, and the sweet sounds of one of Gospel’s anointed voices made this CD release party memorable.
McLemore’s new project “One Percent Miracle” was birthed out of his real life brush with death. Having suffered a heart attack, McLemore was starting to slip when his wife put oil on his hands, and the people interceding for him began praying. McLemore would eventually recover, and was back touring with James Fortune within a couple of months.
Shawn McLemore has several CDs but this one is by far his most anointed project ever. McLemore’s fame hit an all time high this year, standing out in the hit song “I Believe” that also featured James Fortune and Zacardi Cortez.
The release party brought out many wanting to celebrate with the distinguished artist. Guests included Rhonda McClemore, Brian Courtney Wilson, Comedian Marcus Wiley, Nicki Ross, Pastor Gregg Patrick, Kerry Douglas, and Path publisher Kris Patrick.
Shawn performed the lead single off the album “Any Minute Now,” and the crowd erupted. What made this event so special was that it was Shawn McLemore’s birthday as well. No word on how old he is. =)
Shawn’s teenage daughter sung happy birthday to her father and fighting back tears Shawn was touched.
Towards the end of the ceremony head of Black Smoke Records Kerry Douglas decided to bless the audience. Dropping the CD from $15 to $10 for anyone that purchase that night. Wanting to support Shawn, the crowd started to shout for Kerry to leave it at $15 dollars! That’s just the kind of love that surrounded this release party. The kind of love all Gospel artist should be shown for their ministry.
We wish Shawn the best on his sales, and encourage everyone to go out and get the CD “One Percent Miracle” today. CLICK HERE to purchase the project.
