Black and Positively Golden

by Whitney J. November 29, 2023
written by Whitney J.

On October 20, on the beautiful campus of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, several people gathered in there to enjoy the world of worship with several talented and moving gospel artists.

 

You could hear the articulate lyrics of Mike Teezy, the sultry smooth voice of Bri Babineaux, the riveting words of Sir the Baptist, the beautiful harmony of The Walls Group and the exciting and riveting experience of Anthony Brown and Group TherApy.

 

The host Lonnie Hunter kept the crowd engaged and moved throughout the night, even sharing his own testimony. He also allowed an opportunity for local talent to showcase their abilities to remix their renditions of McDonald’s popular theme jingle.

 

Within all this excitement, the true winners of the night were the highlighted families who have benefited from the Ronald McDonald House and foundation. The goal and use of this foundation is to provide shelter and a bit of ease for families who are going through tough and emotional times because of childhood illnesses that are present and make them have long hospital stays. Sometimes, families may not live close to visit and be there every day to support their little loves. With the help of Ronald McDonald House and foundation, these families can be close to their little loves and not have to concern themselves with long commutes.

 

What an amazing thing that McDonalds is doing to provide such opportunities. Next time you are asked to donate to this amazing cause when patronizing the establishment of Golden Arches, just remember your support can go a long way for a family not to have to travel a long way in such an emotional and sensitive time.

Peter CottonTale, Chance the Rapper and BMI Make History at Lollapalooza With Gospel Performance

by Emerson Unger August 1, 2022
written by Emerson Unger

Courtesy of @realcottontale

“I’m from Chicago, the birthplace of gospel” and with those words music producer and composer turned performer, Peter CottonTale, made history at this year’s BMI Stage at Chicago’s Lollapalooza. Now, the iconic and legendary BMI stage at Lollapalooza is known for supporting emerging, up-and-coming as well as established artists. The stage has been home to acts like Neon Trees, Elle King, and even Lady Gaga.

However, this year’s performance with Peter CottonTale was certainly history-making. At the beginning of his set, he acknowledged the fact that like himself, Chicago, was the birthplace of gospel. He added it was funny that Chicago’s most iconic music festival had never had a gospel performance before. To a packed crowd he joked if those in attendance didn’t get a chance to make it to church today well church is coming to you.

He began his set accompanied by a choir with the song, “God is Love,” before performing “Hi-5,” “He is Real,” and “I Want to Thank You.” He rounded out the first part of his set with his collaboration with the mega-church Hillsong for the songs, “As I Am” and “Grateful/Together.”

Not missing the opportunity to collaborate with some of his famous friends and those he admires, Peter CottonTale was then joined on stage by Reese for the guitar and keyboard-driven song “Do Your Thing.” CottonTale followed that performance up with the toe-tapping and uplifting  “When I Get There,” with Jamila. He rounded out this part of the set with Joey performing “Don’t Leave” and then “Give It Up to God.” He also teamed up with Vic Mensa for “No Worries” as well as Tiff Joy for “Feels Like Church.”

Then to the crowd’s delight, the versatile Gammy-winning artist, CottonTale, called on an old friend to come by and help him uplift the crowd during this historic event. CottonTale tapped his decade-long friend and Chicago’s son, Chance the Rapper, to help him deliver powerful renditions of “Pray for Real” and “Forever Always.” Chance the Rapper called out to the crowd numerous times to show his love and support.

At the end of the show, the 15+ performers all headed backstage to commemorate this historic moment. It’s during this time that we caught up with the one the only Chance the Rapper, who expressed what the moment meant to him. “It’s amazing,” Chance acknowledged about the moment. He added, “it’s a blessing [especially on a Sunday], absolutely!”

Singer, songwriter, actress, and Gospel legend, Tamela Mann has just released the follow-up to her 2021 album, “Overcomer.” To the surprise of many fans, it’s a deluxe version with several renditions and live arrangements of many of her fan favorite records from the album.

The new album not only includes fresh, new takes on many of the album’s most popular singles, but throughout the project, other artists such as Wyclef Jean, Kirk Franklin, Tim Rogers & The Fellas, and Todd Dulaney, also contributed verses. Tamela has been recording since 2005, and 2022 marks her 17th year in the industry. Alongside her phenomenal singing career, she also has made waves with her husband, David Mann, in the acting world with her extensive work with Tyler Perry.

Tamela Mann was named both the Contemporary Female Artist of the Year and the Albertina Walker Female Artist of the year at the 37th Annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards in Atlanta, Georgia. With over 15 years in the industry, she’s still getting her flowers.

The Knockturnal’s correspondent, Payton Wilson, sat down exclusively with Tamela Mann to discuss her partnership with Tyler Perry, new music on ‘Overcomer,’ her long career, her husband David Mann, what’s been moving her lately, her recording process, and so much more.
