Richard Smallwood is definately a pioneer in Gospel Music and has just launched his 15th project, Promises, which debuted #1 on Billboard’s Gospel charts.

This is Smallwood’s first CD since the passing of his mother in 2005, who was her sons biggest fan.  Smallwood does it again with his signature classical sound meeshing with the rthyms and melodies of gospel music.   This CD is also the first project since his friend and mentor Walter Hawkins passed away last year, and in tribute to Hawkins, Smallwood reworked “Is There Any Way?” on this CD.

Read more..]]> He knows some people might be skeptical, but BeBe Winans is adamant that the upcoming Still Something Big tour will be his last with sister CeCe Winans.

“I feel on the inside that this is our last go-round,” Winans, who’s been recording with his sister since 1984, tells Billboard.com. “I don’t see me doing this outside of this year.” Winans sees the gospel duo’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star prevention on Oct. 19 as a convenient conclusion to their musical association. “I told [CeCe], ‘Sweetie, I think that’s the day we say, ‘Thank you. See ya. So long. Have a great life,’ ” he explains. “That’s not to say that we’ll never sing again, but it is to say that it’s not going to be a continuation of BeBe and CeCe.”

As he settles in to his position as music minster at The Christian Community Center in Brooklyn New York he must evaluate his path. Winans says he also feels that 2010′s “Still,” which was nominated for a pair of Grammy Awards and five Stellar Awards — with the single “Close To You” named BMI’s Most Performed Gospel Song of the Year — brought the sibling’s recording career to a natural end. “It had been 15 years since we did an album together,” he notes, “so to come back and do the album, I felt it was important for us to say goodbye in the manner of honestly saying goodbye. The album [got] a wonderful reception and an appreciation that caused us to look back and say, ‘Wow, it’s been a great journey.’ But every journey comes to an end, so I believe it’s going to be that for us.”

It’s not just BeBe and CeCe that Winans plans to put on ice, either. Turning 50 in 2012, Winans says, is “a good enough reason to say ‘so long’ to the touring and the craziness that goes on with that.” In other words, he’s taking himself off the road entirely? “Yes sir,” Winans says, “with a capital Y-E-S and a capital S-I-R.”

You may not even know  when that calling will happen. Former baseball player Todd Dulaney joins Grant Desme who last year left major league baseball to become a Roman Catholic Priest.

Todd Dulaney was born December 20, 1983 in Maywood, IL. He grew up as a singer and an elite athlete and graduated from Walther Lutheran High School in Melrose Park, IL. In 2001, he was drafted from Wabash Valley Community College in Mt. Carmel, IL, by the New York Mets to pursue a professional baseball career.

While refining his athletic skills, Todd realized that there was a higher calling for his life. He accepted an invitation to travel and perform background vocals for gospel artist and Grammy winner Smokie Norful.

His song “Pulling  Me Through” is sure to be added to Gospel shortlists for 2011.

Todd has worked with many award-winning artists, including Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Nicole and David Binion, and Donnie McClurkin. Currently, Todd is the worship leader at Faith Walkers Assembly in Rockford, IL.
