Whatever happened to Kim Boyce?

Kim Boyce, extremely active in the Christian music scene in the 80’s and through the mid 90’s, has kind of dropped off the radar. The last album she released was (I believe) back in 1995? Not sure. Anyway, I got to actually meet Kim and her family and we chatted for a bit; I [...]

Buddy Greene

Most people haven’t heard of Buddy Greene, which is a shame because he’s such an incredibly talented artist! I first heard Buddy Greene’s music back in high school and my youth pastor asked to borrow the tape and then never gave it back (I’m still waiting for that tape Jerry!!!). Greene is a multi-talented [...]

CeCe Winans

I’ve long been a fan of CeCe Winans; in fact, one of my most favorite songs of all time has to be her Alabaster Box:
“The room grew still as she made her way to Jesus
She stumbles through the tears that made her blind
She felt such pain, some spoke in anger
Heard folks whisper, there’s no [...]
