January 11, 2012

By Hasan James

Out of all four seasons of Sunday Best, Season 2 seems to be the most memorable and the talent from that season appears to be the most consistent and relevant. In Season 2 alone, all of the top 5 contestants have become household names in the gospel music industry. Y’Anna Crawley’s debut, “The Promise”, reached No. 2 on the Billboard Gospel Charts, runner- up, Jessica Reedy, reached No. 1 with her debut album “From The Heart”. Just last week, third runner up, Latice Crawford, signed with Verity Records and will begin working on her debut, Dontavies Boatright has been touring places like Italy and South Africa and Zebulon Ellis is signed to Flow Records and has released two moderately successful singles to date.

Up next is John McClure, Jr.  After several years of  touring around the world with Jonathan Nelson and Purpose, as well as acting in several stage plays, John is ready to grace the world with the voice that BeBe Winans was a huge fan of while John was a contestant on Sunday Best. This week, John McClure, Jr. has released his first single “We Acknowledge You”, from his highly anticipated, soon to be released debut “Simply John: Born To Worship. Make sure you purchase the single at ITunes, Amazon or CD Baby Today!
