Fake news ! #dontbelieveit

There is a soft veil over gospel music today with the passing of Edwin Hawkins (August 19, 1943-January 15, 2018). His career spanned more than 6 decades and he was one of the last male gospel luminaries that seamlessly linked the best of gospel's rich recent history with its best present offerings. His well acknowledged "Oh Happy Day" to the vast public domain of iconic gospel songs has been song by choirs the world over and his Music and Arts Seminar series gave public attention to some of the best singers, writers, producers and directors that the world has ever seen. His collaborations with established artists are also well documented. An exceptional musician, choir director and spokesman for black gospel music, Edwin earned his title of Father of CONTEMPORARY Gospel for his work to refine gospel music and help it to tastefully grow beyond traditional gospel circles and churches. God's exceptional irony should not go unnoticed this day. On an occasion given to the leadership of an articulate pastor whose reminder of church leadership in bringing social change in Dr. Martin Luther King on King Day, it is worth noting Edwin’s music and yes that of his family -- Walter, Lynette, Daniel, Carol, Feddie, Gloria, cousin Shirley Miller and sister in law Tramaine --must be credited with delivering a little social change as well. I have no doubt that those who know of his music's feel a great deal of appreciation to the faith basic sounds that have impacted so many over the years!

The hairdos were all killing it. Check the white people in the background like Dieter from Sprockets. Also I wish the vocal was mixed better because WOW. Also she looks just like Michelle Obama.
