EMI Gospel and Donald Lawrence are excited to present the final installment to what has quickly become one of Gospel’s most talked about and highly anticipated albums of 2006.
Since releasing their debut project Songwriter’s Point of View in 1993, The Tri-City Singers have become one of Gospel music’s most unique and popular choirs. With five releases to date, the Tri-City Singers have sold over 500,000 albums and been nominated for over a dozen awards including Grammy’s.
Their last offering ever, appropriately entitled Finale is the final installment for one of Gospel’s most celebrated choirs. This farewell project will be released in two parts –- Act One and Act Two. Both installments will include music from their live recording taped November 16th and 17th in Atlanta.
