The brisk tune was written and produced by Strong Tower’s Lead Pastor and Creative/Musical Director, Richard T. Davis. He recruited an A-1 group of musicians for the live session that featured bassist, Alvin Spratley (Regina Belle, Micah Stampley), and the soul band, Butcher Brown’s guitarist, Morgan Burrs. Ervin Williams, who’s played guitar on quartet hits by The Mighty Clouds of Joy and Evelyn Turrentine-Agee, was on hand too. Regional greats such as drummer Dwayne Sumlin and keyboardist William Taylor took part as well. Mo Horns, the brass outfit that’s done horn arrangements for everyone from Beyoncé to Fred Hammond, also performed. Listening Link: https://smarturl.it/StrongTowerWaves
