Yahoo LAUNCHCAST Song Of The Day-Darlene McCoy


Artist:Darlene McCoy

Song:I Believe

Album:Darlene McCoy









Contemporary black gospel artist Darlene McCoy was perfectly satisfied with her life. For several years, she had worked as a backup vocalist in the Atlanta gospel music scene and is Minister Of Music at Bishop Eddie Long's Missionary Baptist Church. But one fateful day, big time record producer Dallas Austin (TLC) was in church and heard her sing. He approached her afterwards and asked her if she wanted to record. I guess she hadn't really thought about it. After all, she's married with three kids and she works with the church and also hosts the Spirit Of Hip Hop radio show in Atlanta. Austin took Darlene to EMI Gospel's Ken Pennell and they signed her up. Darlene's debut CD was released in May 2007 and most gospel fans will want to check out this wonderful singer. Among the producers Darlene works with on the album are Austin, Tommy Sims, PAJAM & Antonio Neal. Darlene co-wrote most of the songs and I Believe was produced by veteran producer Uncle Freddie Jerkins. I'm sure we'll hear more from Darlene McCoy in the future but here's the video for Simply Because by Darlene McCoy.
