Best known as the Emmy Award-winning Chrysler Choir, Larry Callahan & Selected of God and the Deaf Dynamic Praise Choir of San Francisco will be featured in the American Sign Language ground-breaking world premiere video of “Sunshine” tonight, Thanksgiving Eve at 8:00 p.m. ET on the Word Network. The video will be part of a 30 minute television special, inspired by the number one international mega hit song “You Brought the Sunshine” by the GRAMMY® Award-winning recording group The Clark Sisters.
“Sunshine” marks the first time the gospel music industry and the deaf and the hearing impaired communities have joined forces on a powerful and inspired music project.
A YouTube sensation, the Deaf Dynamic Praise Choir is founded by Tanisha Cotton, Larry ‘Scooter’ Cotton Jr., Don Espy Jr. and Cherie Espy. They were brought together by their common faith, a love of gospel music and a desire to share their ministry with others within the deaf and hard of hearing community.
Callahan & Selected of God are currently featured in the new Chrysler Big Finish’s “Giving Back” themed commercial for the holiday season, currently airing thirty second spots on broadcast networks nationwide. The commercials feature the hook of The Clark Sisters’ “You Brought the Sunshine.”
Callahan & Selected of God have been featured in six Chrysler commercials including the Super Bowl XLV’s “Born of Fire—Imported from Detroit 200 Chrysler” with Eminem. The three-time Verizon’s How Sweet The Sound Choir competition winners’ current album, The Evolution II, peaked at #4 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart and has remained in the Top 25 for over a year. This week, the album moves up to #8 and their current single, “Be Still and Know” is #25 on the Billboard Hot Gospel Songs chart. Callahan is the founder of the acclaimed 20-member choir, who’ve been together more than 12 years.
