Bio:
Award-winning famed Gospel icon Kurt Carr returns with a vibrant vocal musical extravaganza on his new album Bless Somebody Else (Kurt Carr Gospel/RCA Inspiration), available now. The pioneering two-time GRAMMY® nominated, Dove Award and multiple Stellar Award-winning Gospel Hall of Famer has created another soon-to-be classic album, delivering sixteen tracks filled with rousing vocal runs and cutting-edge melodic flourishes that have made him one of the most illustrious and enduring recording artists, songwriters and producers for the past three decades. Featuring The Kurt Carr Singers and special guests, Bless Somebody Else comes six years since his last release, 2013’s Bless This House. After enduring a painful period dealing with a prolonged season of losing loved ones including his mother Delores, his longtime ministry partner Dorothy King, and mentor Andraé Crouch among others, Carr has come through with Bless Somebody Else, bringing a message of thanksgiving and hope, with powerful inspiration to praise God’s blessings in our lives and be a blessing to others.
After enduring this season of loss, Carr told God, “I’m tired and I can’t do this anymore,” and he says as clear as day, he heard God say, “If you don’t want to do it anymore, DO IT FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.” This epiphany fueled the title track and carrying out his mission with the album, to bless somebody else. Produced and written by Carr, Bless Somebody Else features the all-star single “Bless Somebody Else (Dorothy’s Song).” Carr is joined by The Kurt Carr Singers and special friends Miles Caton, Wess Morgan, Fred Hammond, Faith Evans, Yolanda Adams, Smokie Norful, Erica Campbell, Roosevelt Griffin, John P. Kee, Jekalyn Carr, Bishop Paul S. Morton, Keke Wyatt, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Denise Tichenor, and Zacardi Cortez on the track, which is becoming a new anthem.
Blending traditional sounds along with the rollicking arrangements that have made his songs a staple for choirs and churches of all denominations worldwide, Bless Somebody Else provides a restorative lively mix with new songs such as “With Thanksgiving,” “Blessing After Blessing,” “I Owe You Praise,” “Something Big, Something Marvelous,” “Grace Brought Me Back/Love Lifted Me” feat. Le’Andria Johnson, “I Got Back Up” feat. B. Slade, and creating new arrangements of classics such as “I Never Lost My Praise” feat. the voices of Carr’s 2018 Millennial Search winners Tiya Askia and Travis Taylor, and “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”   
With a career spanning over thirty years, Kurt Carr continues to be one of the preeminent music legends influencing Gospel in the world, with distinguished classics like “In the Sanctuary,” “For Every Mountain,” “God Blocked It,” “I Almost Let Go” and more. The maestro has continued to mentor new voices, serve as Creative Director in music ministry at The Fountain of Praise Church in Houston, TX, as well as maintaining a busy slate of engagements across the U.S. and abroad.

Deborah Joy Winans Interview

Deborah Joy Winans returns as a guest on Real Gospel! This time when we speak, we’ll catch up and find out what she’s been up to in the music industry, how her new song “When I Rose” came to be, what’s next for her character Chasity on the hit show ‘Greenleaf”, and she’s going to give advice to many of you who need to know how to deal with fame and humility. 
Bio:
September 10, 2019 (LOS ANGELES, CA) — Singer and actress Deborah Joy Winans unveils new single, “When I Rose,” from the soundtrack of OWN and Lionsgate’s television series “Green-leaf,” available for streaming and download now on all digital platforms. 
Winans will perform the classic version of the enduring choir tune in Season 4 of “Greenleaf,” while her new mid-tempo remix out today will showcase her contemporary vocals while keep-ing the same joyful spirit of gratitude. "It was so much fun remaking a classic gospel song with a modern twist,” said Winans. “It really speaks to who I am and I hope that it makes peo-ple feel good.”  
Deborah Joy Winans stars as Charity Greenleaf on the hit show “Greenleaf.” “Greenleaf” takes viewers into the unscrupulous world of the Greenleaf family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch, where scandalous secrets and lies are as numerous as the faithful.  Born of the church, the Greenleaf family loves and cares for each other, but beneath the surface lies a den of iniquity—greed, adultery, sibling rivalry and conflicting values—that threatens to tear apart the very core of their faith that holds them together. The series also stars Merle Dandridge (“Sons of Anarchy,” “The Night Shift”), Keith David (“Community”), and Lynn Whitfield (“The Jo-sephine Baker Story”), Lamman Rucker (“Why Did I Get Married?”), Greg Alan Williams (“The Accountant”), Kim Hawthorne (“Switched at Birth”), Tye White (“The People Vs. O.J. Simpson”), Rick Fox (“Dope”), Desiree Ross (“Falling Skies”) and Lovie Simone. 
“Greenleaf” is produced by OWN and Lionsgate in association with Harpo Films and Pine City. Executive producers are Oprah Winfrey, Craig Wright (“Lost,” “Six Feet Under”), Clement Virgo (“The Book of Negroes”), and Kriss Turner Towner (“The Romanoffs,” “The Soul Man”).

Maurette Brown Clark Interview

The one and only Maurette Brown Clark is my guest on Real Gospel and she has a lot to share with you! Her song, “I Want God” is taking off all over the country and you’ll here the story behind the song, how she’s been doing and she’ll talk about her new radio show! 
Stellar Award winning and Dove Award nominated singer-songwriter, Maurette Brown Clark, is back with a desperately passionate song of devotion. The rousing anthem, “I Want God” (Nettie’s Child Music/IndieBlu), is the first offering on her own recording label, Nettie’s Child Music. It’s also in keeping with her timeless, chart-topping hits such as “One God” and “It Ain’t Over (Until God Says It’s Over).” Backed by the Grammy® Award nominated act, Anthony Brown & group therAPy, the soulful track is the singer’s first release in four years, and it will make its debut on all major streaming and digital service providers April 26th. 
“I Want God just gets to the heart of the matter. Nothing else satisfies us unless we have a relationship with God”, says Brown Clark who wrote the song with producer Kenneth Shelton (Marvin Sapp, Kim Burrell). “I’m just singing my heart and hoping that it resonates with people” It’s already doing so with some radio programmers. “Maurette has given us another classic”, says Brodric Purvis, Program Director of WLOU in Louisville, KY. “I know my listeners will love this.”  
The song’s earnest message and compelling vocal are true to who she is as an artist.  “My intent has always been and still to this day, is to chase after God,” says Brown Clark who hosts the midday program “The Sound of Praise” on Radio One Baltimore’s Praise 106.1 station.  “I never entered music ministry for any other reason than to try to tell people about Jesus.  He found me, saved me, sticks with me and He has certainly blessed me beyond what I deserve.  At the end of the day, stuff is good, recognition is good, things are good; but at the heart of the matter, all I've ever wanted was Him.” 
ABOUT MAURETTE BROWN CLARK
With a 20+ career in the music business, Maurette Brown Clark formed Nettie’s Child Music, an ASCAP-affiliated publishing firm and recording label, in 1998. Over the years, the dynamic vocalist has recorded a score of classic songs such as “I Just Want to Praise You”, “King Oh King”, “I Hear the Sound (of Victory)”, “Even in the Rain” and “Breaking of Day.” Her 2007 gem “One God” hit No. 2 on Billboard’s Gospel Airplay chart while her signature cut, “It Ain’t Over (Until God Says It’s Over)”, spent five weeks at No. 1 on the same chart in 2009. She’s a two-time Stellar Award winner who has hosted “The Sound of Praise” on Praise 106.1 FM in Baltimore, MD since 2016.
