Eye On Gospel
The Mi si sippi
Ma s Choir Gives
God.The Glory
By MARGARET MANSFIELD
Capping four Stellar Awards, as
well as the number one position on
the nation's gospel music charts their
rust time out, the Mississippi Mass
'Choir was a bonified Cinderella suc-
cess story.
This month, they release their
second album, titled "God Gets TM
Glory."
Ironically, director David Curry
says there was no pressure. "People
were constantly sa ing 'how are you
going to outdo your last album, but
we're doing the same thing on this
album as we did'Iast time. We give
it back to him," Ironically, for all the
success of their first album, the
group failed to garner even one
Grammy nomination. Director
David Curry says that had more to do
with pd'litics.
Next month, the Mississippi Mass
Choir is set to embark on a corporate
sponsored national tour, a rarity in
gospel. Curry hopes it will give
them a chance to get acquainted with
all their fans.
Should Christians si,e each
otMr in court?
That's has now become the issue
behind the lawsuit filed by Benson
Music Group,-both top Christian
music labels, Frontline (the label
that houses Christian. rap group
P J.D.) has i ued a statement against
actions taken by Benson (whose
roster includes Commi ioned and
Alber-tina Walker), tating that they
would like it to be known that they
do not believe a dispute between two
Christian companies should be set
tled in a court of law.
This week's scripture: "Do not
o/ler the parts 0/ your body to rita,
as instrumems 0/ wickediJ,s , but
rather o/ler yourselves to God, as
those who have been brought from
d,ath to life and offer th« parts 0/
Jour body to him as instruments 0/
