艺人介绍

Made up of singers in the Tampa Bay Area, the Florida Mass Choir was established in the 1970s under the direction of Rev. Arthur T. Jones. Recorded in the city of Tampa, the group's debut album, Come Let's Reason Together, was released in 1979 on Savoy Records. Jesus Will Never Say No arrived a year later. Taken from a concert in Orlando, Be Encouraged followed in 1981, and 1983's Lord You Keep on Proving Yourself to Me featured a performance in Gainesville, Florida. It reached the Top 30 of the Billboard Gospel Albums chart. Still with Savoy, they followed up two years later with Storm Clouds Rising. The choir moved to the Malaco label for 1987's The Florida Mass Choir Recorded Live in Miami, Florida and 1988's Let the Holy Ghost Lead You. From a performance in Lakeland, Florida, 1990's Higher Hope was issued in both audio and video formats, as were their next two concert recordings, Now, I Can See and Holy. All three landed on Billboard, with Higher Hope hitting the Top Five of the gospel chart. With Jones shifting focus to his expanding Bible-Based Fellowship Church in Tampa, the Florida Mass Choir's final recording, Fill Us, Lift Us saw release in 1998. A year later, Malaco issued the compilation The Treasure. ~ Marcy Donelson
