“All of Me”
Doug Williams
From the upcoming CD, Crossover (Available Summer 2016)
Blackberry Records

Doug Williams’ current single “All of Me” is a contemporary vertical worship tune—not necessarily what one might expect from one of gospel quartet’s most recognizable voices. Doug has always been on the cutting edge, though—whether performing solo or with Melvin and Henry aka The Williams Brothers.
“All of Me,” from the singer/songwriter’s forthcoming project, Crossover, adheres mostly to the familiar CCM I-V-vi-IV progression. Doug comfortably assumes the role of worship leader while the background singers‘ alternating unison and harmony voicings carry the worship melody.
