Donnie McClurkin - Live in London and More ... (2000)

Recorded in London's Fairfield Hall, Donnie McClurkin's Live in London and More... captures the power of his songs of praise & worship -- and his commanding baritone -- in concert. The album covers every aspect of McClurkin's eclectic sound, which ranges from the urban-tinged "I Do I Do" to a Caribbean medley to the contemporary gospel ballad "We Fall Down." Marvin Winans appears on "Who Would've Thought," another of Live in London and More...'s highlights, but it's "Victory Chant (Hail Jesus, You're My King)" that delivers the collection's most rousing moment. Along with McClurkin's songwriting talent and compelling vocals, his unwavering devotion to God unites the album's diverse songs. Though his style is more smooth and sophisticated than fiery and intense, Live in London and More... reaffirms that Donnie McClurkin is one of contemporary gospel's most uplifting voices.~Live in London and More...
