TGIP (GMWA Edition): “Love” – The Bishop’s Choir
Published by Torrence Glenn on Tuesday, August 3, 2010 at 8:29 pm.
Well, it’s been a long few weeks. Last week I attended the Gospel Music Workshop Of America (GMWA) in Cincinnati, OH and as you probably know myself and some friends sat on the panel of the Verizon Unsigned Artist Showcase moderated by Neily Dickerson of the ND Co. throughout the week. It was a fun time and generally most of the artists and groups really brought it and I was able to give some truly constructive advice. (Some folks should have stayed home for real, but there’s always somebody walking around with a dream and bad hearing willing to try!)
But anyway, many of the singers and groups we got to check out were really good or had a lot of potential to have substantial and lasting careers and gospel so I figured my “Thank God It Played” posts for this week would feature some of them.
First up, The Bishop’s Choir from Trenton, NJ led by D. Corey Shipley. (He doesn’t put his name in the choir’s title but wanted to shout him out.) The full name of the choir is actually “The Bishop’s Choir of Cathedral Fellowship Ministries, Inc.” Yep, they’re a church choir but believe me when I tell you that they sing as if D. hand picked every last one of them! They’re awesome and maintain the hard core east choir sound that you know I grew up with and love. (I’m fighting for choirs to reclaim their place in gospel music. They’re NECESSARY!) They sing strong and make no qualms about it, but the music is still “accessible.” When they performed the song “Love” at the showcase I was instantly a fan.
Listen to “Love” and tell me what you think and then try and find their latest CD, “Trust Him.” You can find them on facebook at www.facebook.com/thebishopschoir.

The Bishop’s Choir has the “IT” factor. They are my number one choir!
I’m cewrtainly bias but nonetheless the Bishop’s Choir are off the Chain!!!
The Bishop’s choir is comprised of some of my dearest friends and family members. Their ministry is one that is birthed out of an experience with God. Jeannie, Corey, Darin, Jeanetta, I am so Godly proud of you all. Please give my love to Bishop Wilcox!
The Bishop’s Choir is one of my favorite. Jackie is gifted by God. I am soo proud of all of you. (Darin needs MUCH PRAYER) Lol. Love you all and I will have you in my prayers. Continue to be Blessed.

I’m truly blessed to be a member of Grace Cathedral Fellowship Ministries. To hear their wonderful voices on Sunday’s, as they offer up praise. The blessings just start coming down !
They never have programs like this one on the west cost. I love listening to good gospel music. I hope one day people will realize that alot of Gods people are on the west coast to and would love to have some of the music here.
To God be the Glory! ! ! ! Thanks to all of you for the comments and prayersx We love the Lord! Jackie, much “Love” to you for that song, it really blesses my soul. (your locked Sis. in the alto section)
Praise God for the Bishop’s Choir of Grace Cathedral Fellowship Ministries, Trenton, New Jersey. They are simply a reflection of their leaders Bishop & First Lady Jerome S. Wilcox who possess a spirit of excellence concerning the things of God. This song is powerful and the lead vocalist, Mrs. Jeanne Wilcox-Rawls, along with the choir gives a compelling performance in song of God’s great love for us! Kudos to the Bishops’ Choir! One of my favorite choirs, indeed!
I have the pleasure of hearing the Bishops Choir every 1st and 3rd Sundays. They are truly a awesome choir and they make me get up off my feet even when I don’t want to. Keep it up Grace.
The Bishop’s Choir….what a choir! Jeannie, Corey, Darin,…I love ‘yall!
I miss playing your music up in NJ, but the Carolinas is still on top of your cd! See ya soon. Sister Mel O’D….the music is a blessing!
Wonderful Music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tonya: You and your choir are truly annointed!!!
