Daryl Coley USED to be.

Did you hear him TRY to sing "When Sunday Come's" on the new Donald Lawrence? When it was originally recorded, I didn't think Daryl Coley was human. WHO was singing like that back then?!?!

Now...

Well, Daryl is older, and he's lost a lot. However, he still goes down as one of the greatest male vocalist's in HISTORY, as far as I'm concerned.

Now, I gotta give it up to Tonex.

Lol...

I'm a Tonex fan, but dude is definitely a control freak/perfectionist. I have a vid of him preacing at a church in DC, and dude is tellin' everybody what to play & how loudly/softly to play it. I guess it's can be kind of rough if you have a Pastor whose a musician himself, you know?

Just playin'...

1. Richard Smallwood (his musical prowess continues to be unmatched)

2. James Hall (choir arrangements are original and covers all styles. How many church choirs in your lifetime have you heard rockin' a James Hall joint? Not many I'm sure.)

3. J. Moss vs. Tonex ( I love Tonex, but J. Moss' sound is unique. Save all the runs and vocal tricks...this guy doesn't sound human to me.)

4. Kim Burrell (excluding that horrible live album all of her musical deliveries have been on point. She's my favorite female vocalist hands down.)

5. Donald Lawrence (scratch his vocals, this guy does it big in the production realm. Not a giant fan but I've got to give the man his credit.)

Why not cause they each have brought somethin REALLY different to the     .  And they have distinstive sounds.  On the real, even though a lot of cats out there are blazin and settin fire,  a lot of them all are after that same sort of contemporary choir/ensemble sound..  Dont nobody sound like James, Fred or Tye and If they do sound like them,  then they must be real new.

i think all those you mentioned added something to gospel but innovator means like you created something new from scratched im one of the biggest fans ever of james hall music but i do know his stuff is jazz with words and he has said that himself but the point is before there were others doing the same style right there in brooklyn, ny so thats what i mean by innovator is a big word i dont its hard to explain im not downing anybody for thier choices

Okay then.  If they aren't innovators then they are BIG TIME      changers.  Don't even front.  When you here them they make you go practice.  In fact, James Hall and the Voices of Citadel are gonna be in the 'cuse tonight.  I'm gonna go here them then practice at like 3 in the morning.

my opinion:

1. richard smallwood- 2 words- "Total Praise" ( you gotta admit that this man is on a different plateau when it comes to all of his music arrangements, you just gotta respect him for where his head when it comes to arranging music)
2. tonex ( even though his is retired, the man's vocal capability is crazy! Not to mention the "out the box" project was tight.
3. tye tribbett ( i'm really feelin the "victory" project)
4. Donnie McClurklin ( this man has paid his dues, i'm talkin all the way back to the NY restoration choir-"Speak to my heart")
5. kim burrell (i've seen her live.....WOW)
