My Soul Doth Magnify The Lord O'Landa Draper & The Associates

O que dizer sobre O'Landa Draper . . . Poderia dizer que ele e simplesmente um dos maiores, senão, o maior regente de coral que ja vi, cheio de destreza e maestria, morreu muito cedo se quiserem deem uma olhada na wikpedia, vale a pena ver e curtir . . .

[@spekialcay1]

I had the honor and privilege of singing with O’Landa Draper and he truly was a man of faith. We had Bible study, worked hard and Holy Spirit would minister to us during rehearsals but it paid off when it was time to minister. He was anointed to direct, write songs and minister. His contribution to gospel music and anointed music history lives on. All praise to God🙌🏽🙌🏼

[@roycey32]

He ALWAYS gave the glory to GOD. Though he had become quite known for / as the innovator of his own particular style... He NEVER took the credit as an innovator etc. He NEVER failed to let people know that is wasn't about him, but about GOD. I don't think he ever set out to innovate... Rather, just to worship, praise and to be his own individual while doing it. #Amazing
