Kurt Carr reflects on creating this new song, saying: “Bless Somebody Else (Dorothy’s Song), is the theme of my life for this season…It’s inspired by the life of Dorothy King who walked by my side in ministry for 25 years. Dorothy was the most unselfish person I’ve ever known. Her entire life was devoted to blessing everyone she came in contact with. She passed away suddenly, which was devastating to me and all of my team. She literally took care of us. It took time to heal our hearts, but we are back and ready to serve! Since her passing I’ve thought of how I’d honor her memory…I wrote Bless Somebody Else (Dorothy’s Song), which is truly her testimony. Every time you bless me I’m gonna bless somebody else…”

A portion of proceeds from the single will bless charities.  “Bless Somebody Else (Dorothy’s Song)” marks the first single from his forthcoming ninth album, to be released later this year.  Introducing new music beginning at his live recording in Houston last year, Kurt Carr has maintained a demanding schedule over the past few years working on numerous projects for other artists, as well as serving as Creative Director in music ministry at The Fountain of Praise mega church in Houston, TX.
