THE WHITFIELD LEGACY CONTINUES…
West Chester, OH – November 12, 2004. The Whitfield Legacy Continues. The Barrow Music Group, Gospel Music’s fastest growing independent label, announces the signing of the Whitfield Music Group. Their debut CD, “This Time,” is slated for release on February 15th, 2005. This CD will take the Whitfield Legacy to another level. “This Time” features a fresh, anointed new sound that unmistakably has its roots deep in the Whitfield Legacy.
On June 21, 1992, the world of Gospel music was devastated in the loss of the "Maestro", Minister Thomas A. Whitfield. “Thommy” was truly a musical genius in contemporary and traditional Gospel music, and is considered a pioneer in the area of Praise and Worship.
After a time of prayer and direction, The Lord birthed and manifested in the brothers of Thomas, Larry and David Whitfield, a continuing vision of reaching the ears of many who are lost, and to share the Gospel through song. Through this, the inception of the Whitfield Music Group was formed in January of 1994. The singing aggregation, comprised of various soloist, musicians & singers, possessing the versatility and potential to sing the contemporary and traditional style music that the Lord was feeding into the writers of the ministry. Larry and Musical Director Demetrius "Krayon" Nabors, spent many hours writing and arranging music, and sought for singers and musicians that could easily adapt to the task. The goal was simple…Sing to the Lord without limitations.
Donovan “Donnie” Barrow, President/CEO of the Barrow Music Group, is elated to have the Whitfield Music Group as a member of the Barrow Music Group Family. He states, “I worked with Thommy on a few projects [Michael Fletcher Chorale, Herman Harris, Vanessa Bell-Armstrong] and traveled with him on workshops. For me, this [signing the Whitfield Music Group] represents many things: Fulfillment of a promise that God made me, a family reunion and a rebirthing of a sound that many have forgotten.”
Larry and David have a similar mindset concerning the ministry and the relationship with the Barrow Music Group. “God has given the Whitfield Music Group an unique way to reach the unsaved and saved, the sick, the broken hearted, discouraged, suicidal, drug addicted, or whatever the case may be. And now with the Barrow Music Group, we can share the gospel through song to the world for we do believe that, we have a message for the world - JESUS SAVES! ”
“This Time” features classic material including “We Worship”, “Render Praises”, “This Time”, “Intimacy [Into – Me-See], and the remake of the Whitfield classic “Oh In My Spirit”. Slated for release on February 15, 2005, pre-release orders of “This Time” will be taken beginning on Friday November 19, 2004 via The Barrow Music Group website or by contacting its distributor, Bookworld Music Distribution.
