Shirley Caesar Still Topping The Charts
“GOD WILL MAKE A WAY” SINGLE RISES TO CAREER HIGH AT #4
Nashville, TN (April 3, 2013) – The legendary First Lady of Gospel Shirley Caesar has done it again, firing up the charts with her singular talents and stirring ministry on her much-anticipated new album Good God (Light Records/eOne). Newly-released on Tuesday, March 26th, 2013, the latest album from the acclaimed Gospel icon makes a smash debut on the Gospel charts at #4, while its hit single “God Will Make A Way,” marks another milestone, rising to #4 to become the highest charting radio single in her career on the latest Gospel radio charts (for April 13, 2013).
Continuing to ascend through the Top 5, the James Fortune-penned and produced single “God Will Make A Way” sets the stage for the rest of the impactful album, as Caesar’s bright vocals and vibrant spirit envelop and empower listeners in faith with uplifting, dynamic lyrics and melodies. With the latest release of Good God, the 12-track album ushers in another milestone work in Caesar’s pioneering Gospel career, with tracks such as “Nice To Be Nice,” “Good God” with The Thompson Community Singers, a revamp of “Holy Boldness,” one of her early hits as part of the Caravans, and more.
Recording over 40 albums and garnering historic career accolades that include 11 Grammy Awards, 14 Stellar Awards, 18 Dove Awards, and induction into the Gospel Hall of Fame, Shirley Caesar continues to be one of the most recognized names and voices in Gospel music, while also continuing to pastor a thriving church in her native North Carolina at Mt. Calvary Word of Faith in Raleigh, NC. Creating another dazzling repertoire with production and songwriting on Good God from herself, longtime musical director Michael Mathis, and first-time collaborations with Kurt Carr and James Fortune, Pastor Caesar remains committed to delivering fresh music and ministry all over the world, and can next be seen performing an electrifying rendition of “God Will Make A Way” on the 2013 BET Celebration of Gospel, airing Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 8 PM/7 Central.
