Sounds of Blackness (Christmas)

CD Review by: Gloria Adkins The Night Before Christmas: A Musical Fantasy Perspective Records "Time to celebrate, let's all come together to share our hearts of love that we feel for one another... Let's not forget why we're here... We give all thanks to who we believe in.” "Soul Holidays" is my favorite songs. This CD gets you in the mood for Christmas. No holiday subject is off limits including Chit' lings; which are told to dance in "Dance Chit'lins Dance." "It's Christmas Time" is a wonderful song that feels your heart with Christmas spirit. Santa gets a run for his money in "Santa Watch Yo' Step." "Breaking in people's houses ain't too hip."

Fred Hammond (Christmas)

CD Review by: Gloria Adkins Christmas: Just Remember Verity Records "This is such a strange way to save the world." "If it were up to me the season would never change, it would always stay the same." "Strange Way to Save the World" lets us know how awesome God is. It is a song that will have you think about the REAL MEANING of CHRISTMAS. "Christmas Everyday" is a song that will have you wishing it was Christmas everyday. This soothing song will bring a warm feeling to your heart on the coldest day. You know Fred has to tell you to "put your hands together" on "He is the Reason," with the Singletons doing background vocals, the song is sure to have you putting your hands together. This is a good uplifting Christmas CD. Just Remember...

Christmas with Shirley Caesar

CD Review by: Gloria Adkins Christmas with Shirley Caesar Sony Records "What are you gonna call your baby Mary?... God gave His Son and the Son gave His life... I'm gonna call my little boy baby, Jesus.” Shirley Caesar belts out another powerful CD, full of life, energy, and praise. She brings an enthusiasm to old Christmas carols that will have you wanting to sing with her. "Little Drummer Boy" is a song that you will want to sing with. Sis. Caesar makes the Little Drummer boy appear to play in this song. "What Are You Gonna Call You Baby?" lists the many names that Jesus has been called; Mary called her little baby Boy, "JESUS!"
