ALBUM OVERVIEW:

Musical depth and Christian joy have rarely come together as compellingly as they do in the music of Dara Maclean. Hers is a joyful mix of pop idioms and eternal truths, danceable beats and the good news. “I love making music you can move and groove to,” she says, “but at the same time, as a Christian artist, we have a responsibility to speak the truth in love.” A singer of incredible grace, power and control, as well as a gifted songwriter, Dara has put together, with the help of Dove Award-winning producer Ian Eskelin, a debut CD that is as fresh and vibrant as any in recent years. The project combines the soul and urban pop influences that infuse her musical approach with soaring vocals in service to intelligently uplifting lyrics. “Suitcases,” her debut single, is driven by a hip-hop beat and a vocal approach alternately intimate and soaring. It’s an offer of true release from “your burdens, heavy like gravity.” “I want to paint a picture of God’s complete restorative love and how through Christ, we have an opportunity to live free,” she says. “This song does just that.” Influenced by contemporaries like Adele, Lauryn Hill, Natasha Bedingfield, Ray Lamontagne and Marc Broussard, she has also incorporated the Motown funk and soul she came to love growing up. The combination makes for a sound that is pure celebration. It captures as few artists ever have, the joy and exuberance of being swept up in God’s love. It is an approach she comes by honestly. “I grew up singing, dancing and acting, and it’s been in the church world,’” she says. “Music has always equaled ministry to me. Ministering to the broken, unloved and discouraged and ultimately showing people God’s better way is what’s in my heart. It’s how I’m wired.”

A Gospel Calling: Mahalia Jackson Sings

STREET DATE: 6/7/2011 RUN TIME: 210 Mins RATING: NR FILE UNDER: VHGNXX GENRE: Music PKG: AMARAY

DVD OVERVIEW: With a voice that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said “comes along once in a millennium,” the legend that is Mahalia Jackson is celebrated in A Gospel Calling: Mahalia Jackson Sings. Born into poverty in 1911, Mahalia Jackson’s throaty, fervent, rich and distinctive New Orleanstinged contralto took her from Louisiana’s Plymouth Rock Baptist Church choir (performing from age four) to an international reputation as gospel’s first lady and “the greatest voice of the century.” Decades after her 1972 death, Mahalia remains the world’s most influential gospel singer, who performed for royalty, heads of state and presidents. Infusing gospel with a sensuality and notebending freedom never before seen, she sang at John F. Kennedy’s inauguration; and, at his request, prior to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s epochal “I Have a Dream” speech during the 1963 civil rights march on Washington, D.C. Rocking crowds from the Hollywood Bowl to Carnegie Hall and across Europe, she became a force in radio and TV, then mostly off-limits to African-Americans. Flooding her bluesy songs with soul and spirit, Mahalia always honored a pledge to never perform secular music. She recorded 35 albums and a dozen of her 45 rpm records sold over 1 million copies, going gold (platinum by today’s standards). Presented a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1972, Jackson’s powerful, force-of-nature voice was a clear influence on R&B and rock – including such icons as Little Richard – and she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. Available for the first time in this special, two-disc collector’s set is the complete collection of Mahalia Jackson Sings, 58 live short performances which aired on NBC in the early ’60s. Includes such hits as “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” “The Lord’s Prayer,” “Go Tell it on the Mountain,” “Throw Out the Lifeline,” “Down by the Riverside” and “When the Saints Go Marching in.”

KEY SELLING POINTS:

From Mahalia Jackson to Aretha Franklin to Shirley Caesar ,these performances offer a fascinating look into the origins of gospel music. Vintage recordings and modern performances highlight this song-filled history of an American art form.

REVIEWS:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Good News is abundant throughout The Story of Gospel Music, an absorbing, BBCproduced look at the past and present of this vibrant black American music. Gospel, a joyous sound that's both viscerally and spiritually uplifting, has been around for centuries, so it's no easy task to provide an overview in a mere 90 minutes; indeed, many of the artists featured here are deserving of (and some, in fact, have) entire documentaries of their own. But the producers of The Story of Gospel Music have done a creditable job of it, by way of the usual parade of talking heads, music excerpts, and film clips. A reasonably thorough history is offered, including gospel's African and English origins, the development of the call and response traditionâ&#x20AC;? --Sam Graham

Soul Of The Church

STREET DATE: 6/7/2011 RUN TIME: 496 Mins RATING: NR FILE UNDER: VHGNXX GENRE: Music PKG: AMARAY

DVD OVERVIEW: Enliven and enrich your celebration of Black History Month with rarely seen performances by the biggest stars of Gospel’s Golden Era in Black History Collection: Soul of the Church. More than sweet sound, gospel moves listeners and brings them to their feet. This soul-stirring music – once limited to the African-American church – has transcended barriers, becoming Americana mainstream and capturing creative and spiritual imaginations globally. But traditionally and to this day, gospel (soulful divas and dons, quartets and choirs) is at its roots “Black folk music” and fervent, camp-meeting religion. Gospel, meaning “good news,” derives its name from the books of the New Testament (the gospels of the apostles). Though the genre continues to grow in variety and sound, gospel dates to an oral tradition of the 18 th century – when many Blacks were unable to read – allowing all to participate in worship. Ministering to the downtrodden and disenfranchised is at its core. No other show, film or single album captures the rich history of the golden age of gospel as did TV Gospel Time (1962-65). The half-hour, Chicago-based show aired on NBC Sunday mornings – merging music and God’s word – attracting a mostly African-American audience (and sponsors), but introduced the genre to a non-Black audience. Featuring guests on location (to save travel costs) it highlighted non-professional performers alongside the day’s biggest stars. This two-disc collection transferred from the show’s original Kinescopes, includes enigmatic performances (rarely, if ever, seen since their original broadcast) by Rev. James Cleveland, Ernestine Washington, Blind Boys of Mississippi, Barrett Sisters, Ruth Brown, Sallie Martin, Alex Bradford, Dixie Hummingbirds, Jessie Mae Renfro, Harmonizing Four, Clouds of Joy, Highway QCs, Marie Knight, Caravans, Three Professors of Gospel and more! Making a joyful noise unto the Lord invites us all to come together … to honor the past, look to the future and – through song – renew our faith.

STREET DATE: 06/21/2011 RUN TIME: 87 MIN RATING: PG FILE UNDER: VHGNXX GENRE: FAMILY PKG: AMARAY

DVD OVERVIEW: When Frank Beardsley (Dennis Quaid), a widower of 8 children runs into his high school sweetheart, Helen North (Rene Russo), it’s as if thirty years never passed! Helen, also a widow with ten kids of her own that include the six she and her husband adopted, feels the attraction as well. It’s no wonder they rush into marriage without telling their kids. True love can conquer all— right? Unfortunately for Frank and Helen, the families don’t mesh quite as easily as the newlyweds had hoped. They probably should have seen the culture clash coming: the disciplined Beardsleys run things by the book; for the energetic and vivacious Norths, there is no book. Helen’s kids aren’t pleased about moving and sharing rooms with a bunch of uptight strangers. Frank’s children have nothing in common with the Norths. Since both sets of kids aren’t happy, they devise a plan to undermine the marriage and team up to plot the breakup. East meets west as the two families finds a way to work together—in order to separate. Just when it appears that the kids have succeeded, they realize they like each other despite their differences— they don’t want their families to split up! Can they save Frank and Helen’s marriage after they so brilliantly split them up? It’s up to Frank and Helen!

KEY SELLING POINTS:  Dove Approved. Awarded 4 Doves for ages 12+.  Featuring Hawk Nelson’s song “Bring Em Out” “Many of you will remember this heartwarming tale from the original starring Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. Well, congratulations go to director Raja Gosnell and writers Ron Burch and David Kidd for bringing such a wonderful tale upto-date for the 21st century. Not many filmmakers keep the same wholesome qualities in their remakes that made the original such a fun family feature, but this team did!” – Dove.org
