Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
These recording go back to 2004, when the Old School Church Vol. 1 CD was released as a tribute to the late Shorter A.M.E. Community church Pastor Jesse Langston Boyd, prior to his "passing from labor to reward," as he would say. Most of the singers have known Chuck Abernethy and each other for years before the recordings, however. Bio info. on Rev. Dorothy Whitaker and Psalmist Bobbie Malone may be found at the www.EnsembleMgmt.com website. We hope to add more biogrphical profiles of EM aritsts there soon.
