Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:Vanessa Bell Armstrong
Song:The Classics (Nobody But Jesus, Real, Peace Be Still)
Album:Verity Records:The First Decade, Vol. 2




Vanessa Bell Armstrong is another tremendous gospel singer from Detroit. This medley of hit The Classics is actually from her 1998 Desire Of My Heart-Live In Detroit CD. It was recorded at Marvin Winans' Perfecting Praise Church and the church choir backs Vanessa up. I find gospel artists really deliver live as opposed to studio recordings and Vanessa is no different. She's really great on this. Verity dropped Vanessa after this CD and she thought her career was over but she returned in 2001 with the great Dietrick Haddon produced CD Brand New Day on Tommy Boy Gospel. Unfortunately, Tommy Boy closed. I don't think Vanessa has a record deal right now but I did see her on the BET Celebration Of Gospel in February and she's lost a lot of weight. So hopefully we'll see a new CD from her in the near future.
