| Mar 24 An Evening of Gospel with Drea Randle |
The DeSoto Arts Commission invites you to join us for the next free concert in our Fourth Friday Music Series, An Evening of Gospel with Drea Randle. This free concert will take place at 7:30 pm on Friday, March 24th in the Blue Bonnet Rooms in the DeSoto Civic Center.
Drea Randle has sung with the greatest and performed before the multitudes. Often compared to both Fantasia Barrino and Kim Burrell, Drea was first introduced to the industry through the Prince of Gospel himself, John P. Kee. For four years, she traveled as a lead vocalist for Kee and appeared on his highly successful “Stand”, “Strength”, and various Christmas albums. Even though Drea was creating a buzz, it was not until the release of the “Strength” album that Drea’s name would become a mainstay in the gospel industry. In 1999, Drea released her first album through Verity Records entitled ” Ooo-Wee”. The project was produced by non-other than Kee. The album birthed such hits as “Ooo-Wee”, “Difference”, and of course, the funky composition “Bounce Back”. The success of her album resulted in her charting on Billboard and selling over 30,000 units.
In 2003, Bishop T.D. Jakes invited Drea to be a lead vocalist on the T.D. Jakes & The Potter’s House “A Wing and A Prayer” Album where she lead the sassy and ever-popular tune “It’s Already Done”. This song garnered Drea her first national television appearance on the B.E.T. Celebration of Gospel. Following that opportunity, she was featured on the The Potters House of Denver album leading "The Best Days of My Life". |
