Is it really church if the sopranos aren’t shouting Q#s because Donald Lawrence and Kurt Carr and Marvin Sapp and Israel and Richard Smallwood have no respect for the limitations of the human voice bc in Christ all notes are possible?

LOL but you know what hasn’t gone away, still? The trick ending. This 9 minute Travis Greene song (with Kierra Sheard SHOU TING) reminds me of the trick ending in In The Sanctuary.

WHEW I wish I could go to a church THIS Sunday that would do this Travis Greene song. I would even settle for a mime/liturgical dance piece to this song. This is a SHOUT!

My favorite joke that I’ve ever come up with that no one I know will ever laugh at is how the farther you go through Kirk Franklin’s career the more bougie his background vocals are. But it’s facts.

The Family was from Oak Cliff Oak Cliff. God’s Property was like honors students at Townview and Skyline and they were all GOING to college. The girls on “Looking for you” were like recent HBCU grads. By Losing My Religion they had like... bought a house in Rowlett. Or Mansfield.
