Song:Made For You
Album:Tarralyn
Florida born gospel singer Tarralyn Ramsey made a detour towards pop stardom a few years ago. That didn't work out for her and now appears to be headed back to gospel with her own label. I first heard her when her debut CD was released by Verity Records in 2000. She was 20 years old and she has a great voice. The album was produced mostly by former NBA star and bassist Waymon Tisdale and Donald Lawrence also produced a couple of songs. There was even a great video for Unconditional Love. It appears there may have been some conflict over how she should be marketed and Tarralyn left Verity. Next she turned up in 2003 as winner of the VH1 Born To Diva contest. The prize was a contract with Tommy Mottola's revived Casablanca Records. That CD was released in 2004. The album was produced by Born To Diva musical director Cory Rooney. The album and the video for Up Against All Odds should have made a big splash but didn't. The album is good but it appears they tried too hard to make a smash hit and blamed her when it failed. Casablanca is currently inactive. Recently I saw Tarralyn in a video with gospel singer Stan Jones. She's now started her own company called Tarprincel Entertainment Group. She has released a single God Can Handle It and a new album is due in 2009. She's an excellent singer so I'm looking forward to it. Here's the video for Up Against All Odds by Tarralyn Ramsey.
