Celebrate 40 Years of Music Ministry With 'Godfather of Gospel Music'

Celebrate 40 Years of Music Ministry With 'Godfather of Gospel Music'

Reverend Timothy Wright To Release All New CD February 27th

NEW YORK, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- 2007 marks a celebration for the legendary Reverend Timothy Wright, who celebrates 40 Years in music ministry this year. To commemorate this landmark occasion, Jordan Entertainment Group will release the all-new "JESUS, JESUS, JESUS" on February 27, 2007, in time to round out Black History Month.

Most certainly both a historic and important release, "JESUS, JESUS, JESUS" is Wright's astonishing 23rd album. He has been involved with choirs and music ministry for most of his life. Since the very early years at St. John's Fire Baptized Holiness Church of God, through his time at Washington Temple C.O.G.I.C. and association with the NY Community Choir to his most recent New York Fellowship Choir, Wright continues to earn his nickname of "Godfather of Gospel Music."

The lead single and title track, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus" is a powerful and reflective, story-telling song that was inspired by Hurricane Katrina. Written by Wright's wife after the hurricane, it reminds listeners there is but one name that can save, heal and deliver and that name is Jesus. "Given today's time and all the terrible things going on, it has become a very popular song," said Wright. "I was inspired to tell the story based on the constant news and footage I was seeing. Watching those faces in the Superdome ... I wanted to tell the stories of all those people. Additionally, this song speaks to all people who perhaps have had personal hurricanes and tragedies in their own lives ... that in the darkest moments, it is the name of Jesus that we can always call upon."

Always considered 'Sunday-morning ready,' Reverend Wright's signature sound is accentuated by its diverse range of traditional and contemporary Gospel music and "JESUS, JESUS, JESUS" carries on this heritage of expressive and exceptional choir music. The project, chock-full of tried and true choir classics including past hits "Count Your Blessings" and the memorable and old- school-flavored re-do of "Come In At The Door," was recorded live at Zion Cathedral in Freeport, NY. Other key highlights include "The Best Thing," a contemporary, rousing and timeless choir jam; as well as "New Life" and "Pressing My Way," both, wholly feel-good and revitalizing songs, that are definitively church.

Join the celebration on February 27th when "JESUS, JESUS, JESUS" hits stores nationwide.
