/24-7PressRelease/ - Fort Washington, MD, May 30, 2008 - Professor Wilbur Belton & LADWEC's song "Come Bless His Name", one of the hottest choir songs to hit radio in recent memory, catapulted the church ensemble to instant popularity. Produced by GRAMMY, Dove and Stellar Award winner Steven Ford, the debut project introduced the dynamic choir to the gospel music scene. The song was also the force behind the group's 2007 EnSound Award, a 2007 Washington Area Music Award Nomination for Best Mass Choir, a 2005 Gospel Award for Best Traditional Choir, and The Community Choir Award. Also, the choir was a strong contender for the 2006 Stellar Award for "Traditional Group/Duo of the Year". Now the group is following up "Come Bless His Name" with a brand new release entitled "Great & Mighty" hitting stores on Tuesday, July 8, 2008.
In a season where church choirs are quickly dwindling, Professor Belton & LADWEC continue the legacy of powerful church-friendly music with the 11-track "Great & Mighty". The lead single, "Great & Mighty", like "Come Bless His Name", which is still played heavily on gospel radio, is a moving praise track focusing on the amazing traits of God. Already hitting radio stations across the country and destined to be sung in choir stands all over the nation, "Great & Mighty" gives praisers great music to lift their hands to.
Super producer Steven Ford returns to the helm and Belton shines as principal writer of the CD, "Great & Mighty". The Washington, D.C. native, Professor Wilbur Belton is best known as a supreme musician, arranger, and songwriter. Many may not know that Professor Belton is the uncle to contemporary gospel icon Tye Tribbett. With experience as a recording artist having worked with artists such as Vickie Winans, Marvin Sapp and Dorinda Clark-Cole and as an educator, founder, Executive Music Director of the Excel School of Music as well as Minister of Music at Church of Jesus Christ, both located in Washington, D.C., Belton brings, along with his 22-member choir, a wealth of experience to gospel music. Belton & LADWEC are known internationally and have toured the nation and overseas.
