“Stand Up!”
Jay McGee
From the CD, Testimony!! (2012)
Beacon Records
Available at CD Baby
Jay McGee’s vibe is reminiscent of Sam Cooke and Johnnie Taylor, a couple of the finest and most recognizable voices in soul. Augmenting the vibe is a call he issues through “Stand Up,” from his fourth full-length project, Testimony!!
Simply put, McGee wants those who believe in Jesus Christ to be bold witnesses. “Stand up and be counted / Everywhere you go, let the people know you love Him—My Jesus.”
Originally from Fayetteville, NC, McGee is a singer, songwriter, producer, and arranger whose music extends into various genres.
