Song:Jesus
Album:The Best Of Shekinah Glory Ministry
Shekinah Glory Ministry started out as a standard church choir in the Chicago suburb of Oak Forest but through the 90s has mushroomed into an international sensation in the gospel music industry with their own record label with major label distribution. The founder is Apostle H. Daniel Wilson of Valley Kingdom Ministries International in Oak Forest, IL. The Shekinah Glory Ministry choir released their first CD in 2001. A lot of church choirs release a lot of CDs that get very little attention. But this CD contained a song called Praise Is What I Do written and sung by William H. Murphy III. It's a great song that is now a church choir standard and it simply blew up. But Murphy wasn't a regular member of the choir. It was just a guest shot and he's gone on to his own solo career. But Wilson could see the power of music and decided to start his own Kingdom Records. And he brought in veteran pianist songwriter and gospel music producer Daniel Weatherspoon to run the company. And by the time Jesus was released in 2007, they signed with Universal to distribute the label. Like a lot of choirs, Shekinah Glory Ministry records all their CDs live and seems to videotape them too so this comp is a CD/DVD package that is a good intro to their music. They're now branching out into other artists like Phil Tarver and The Whispers. So this is a company on the upswing. Their music is recommended to gospel music fans. Here's the video for Jesus by Shekinah Glory Ministries.
