Lord, I Know I've Been Changed

When I heard this stirring rendition of African American Gospel music performed by the DW Poppy Senior Chamber Choir, I was so impressed, I had to find out who this group was. I found out that is is a secondary school choir from Canada! At Vibestar Media I learned:

This Canadian choir performs a wide variety of pieces ranging from Handel's Messiah, to Canadian folk songs to contemporary pieces. Under the direction of Deidre Baird the Senior Chamber Choir at D.W. Poppy Secondary School received an "unprecedented four consecutive first place provincial choral awards (also known as the George S. Mathieson awards)" The DW Poppy Senior Chamber choir is made up of about 60 students of DW Poppy Secondary School ranging from 15-18 years old.

Uncloudy Day (Myrna Summers)

This week we've been looking at "Uncloudy Day." First there was The Staples' version that captivated a young Bob Dylan back in the 1950s. Then we heard Willie Nelson's country Gospel version from the 1970s. Today we have Myrna Summers with the Urban Gospel version recorded in 2007. She is with the Church of God in Christ and accompanied by a Mass Choir. Say "Amen!" somebody!
