CD TO DEBUT THIS JULY

BET's (Black Entertainment Television) "Sunday Best" winner Y'Anna Crawley has signed on as an endorser with Shure Pro Audio. The volcanic gospel vocalist leaped to fame during the 2009 second season of BET's hit television talent competition where she wowed viewers with her electrifying performances of songs such as Bill Withers' "Grandma's Hands" and the Rev. James Cleveland's "No Ways Tired."



"What can I say about Shure? The sound is consistently crystal clear, the quality of the product is the BEST, and it prevents me from having to work as hard vocally," Crawley says. "I've been requesting this product in my rider for years so to finally be partnering with them officially is great. Shure. Yes, that's my sound product of choice without question."



"Y'Anna Crawley's powerful, soulful voice is a fresh light in Gospel music," says Ryan Smith, Regional Manager, Artist Relations Nashville. "Shure is pleased to welcome her into our family of endorsers."



The dynamic vocalist is currently in the studio with Buster & Shavoni (the duo that has produced R&B flavored gospel hits for Kirk Franklin, Yolanada Adams, and Trin-i-tee 5:7) working on her debut solo CD which is scheduled for a July 13, 2010 release. The single "Grandma's Hands"hits radio May 4, 2010.


Crawley's project will be released iD Interactive Inc./Universal Music Group in partnership with BET.



For over 80 years, Shure has been a forerunner in the innovation and manufacturing of professional sound equipment. Artists such as Wyclef Jean, Toby Keith, Natalie Cole, and Third Day are among Shure's celebrity endorsers.

Winans, Sr. has wed his long time girlfriend Deneen R. Carter. Carter is a 57-year-old physical therapist and minister at Perfecting Church in Detroit, founded by Winans.

The couple had been in a relationship for 15 years. Pastor Winans was previously married to fellow gospel singer Vicki Winans (with whom he has two sons) for 16 years before they divorced in 1995.

By Mona Austin Much of what the average American knows about Frederick Douglass lies in the pages of "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave."  His memory has lived on through the annals of history as a heroic abolitionist. A recent article revered Douglass  as "A king among men."  Note to The Atlantic writer who wrote those words in the article  Memo to the White House on the Contributions of Frederick Douglass  --  applying t hat very Biblical reference to Douglass is an overstatement.  The article was a response  to President Donald Trump saying at a White House "Listening Session " on Black History Month that   Douglass is  “an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice.”  The Atlantic article was intended to show Mr.Trump and others who may be ignorant of his significance that Douglass was not on the sidelines of Bl...
