“Mighty GOD”
Deacon Authority
From the upcoming CD, Mighty GOD (Available December 2012)

One look at the “Mighty GOD” official video, and you’ll see that Deacon Authority goes hard reppin’ the power of the God and the kingdom dominion He’s given His people.

Deacon Authority, whose real name is Cedric Hester, recorded the official video for the single from his forthcoming album of the same name in his hometown of Roxboro, NC, making use of some of the small town’s well known landmarks.  The video is produced by Cool Cannon Films and Media Lane Photography.

Deacon Authority was ordained a deacon in 2000, at Favoured Ministries.

Official Video – “One of Dem” – Terrell King

Terrell King’s music has been described as “genre-defying,” and he welcomes you to see for yourself with the release of the first music video from his EP The Serenade, called “One of Dem.” 

The Atlanta resident’s introduction into the industry was his songwriting and production talents. Working behind the scenes, he has worked with some of the biggest producers in pop, gospel and R&B (Midi Mafia, Kendrick “Wyldcard” Dean, and EMI’s Kyle Lovett to name a few).

Those introductions led Terrell to release The Serenade in order to whet the sonic appetite of his long-time supporters.  “The purpose of the EP,” he says, “is to promote God’s love and positive energy in a new, fresh way.”

Check out the official video.

THROWBACK VIDEO – Whitney Houston sings backup for mom at gospel show

Watching Mother Cissy Houston pay homage to her daughter “Nippy,” better known as Whitney, at the 2012 BET Awards brought back memories of Cissy’s performance at the Stellar Awards more than 20 years ago.  By then, Whitney had already made quite a name for herself in pop, which was why it was totally endearing and just plain cool to see her sing backup (along with BeBe and CeCe Winans) for her mother on the awards show.  It was apparent that Whitney was moved by her mommy’s stirring performance of the Dorsey song “Peace in the Valley.”  I was fortunate to find the footage on YouTube.
