Take Six - Most Sought After Group In Gospel: With the
tremendous success of Take She's self-titled debut, which went
gold, the group Is one of the most sought after groups in gospel
music. However, many like Rev. James Cleveland consider the
group to be "more entertainment oriented than gospel oriented."
That doesn't bother manager Gail Hamilton. "Our mission Is to
reach people who have not necessarily embraced Jesus. Not the
Christian who has already identified and I don't think that's a
sell-out. It's a way of packaging the ministry to people who
would not ordinarily embrace this message... that Jesus Is Lord
and God is love. We were at the Playboy Jazz Festival and to lis
ten to thousands of people singing, 'If we ever needed the Lord,
we sure do need Him now.' It was great. I thought I knew the Lord
before, but lately he has become really real, because I am really
witnessing now. It's real easy for Christians to talk about Jesus
to each other, but it's something else to talk to someone who has
put It on the shelf or Is not interested anymore. That's the chal
lenge." The group Just wound down a three-month tour with A1
Jarreau. They are presently at work on a second album.
Has Rev. Clay Evans lost interest in gospel music? Hard
to believe but for all his accolades, concert requests and awards
(most recently male vocalist of the year at Rev. Cleveland's Gos
pel Music Workshop), it's getting harder and harder to get Rev.
Clay Evans to sing these days. Said Evans, "1 don't want people
to see me as a singing preacher. I'm a preacher who happens to
sing, pray counsel and teach. And my longest stick now is
preaching and teaching. It's Just that simple."

preparing for her second LP, which will be produced by
Thomas Whitfield for the Sound of Gospel label. Meanwhile,
Sound of Gospel hopes to release the last gospel recordings of
the late Rev. Charles Nicks sometime In October. The album fea
turing material that has not been previously released was fin
ished Just prior to his untimely death....This week's scripture:
"He who is not with me is against me, wand he who does
not gather with me scatter," Matthew 12:30.
