Item Description...
Outline Diversity is more than just a buzzword for Donnie McClurkin. As shown by his massive success both inside and outside the U.S., the right reverend from Long Island embraces many stylistic approaches (and languages) as he delivers his brand of gospel. It's never more evident than in Psalms, Hymns & Spiritual Songs, a McClurkin double-disc live worship celebration. Opening with Robin Mark's "Days of Elijah" and McClurkin's own "I Will Sing," a praise-and-worship motif sets the stage for later similar tracks like Michael W. Smith's "Agnus Dei" and the medley "Draw Me Close/I Am Thine Oh Lord." Backed by a 40-piece orchestra and a powerhouse choir, McClurkin closes the opening disc strongly in tandem with the legendary Richard Smallwood on the classic "Total Praise." The second disc is dedicated more to traditional gospel with tracks like "I Love To Praise Him" and "Jesus Medley." McClurkin livens up the fare with the "Language" medley, singing in English, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish, ending the string with Joann Rosario as they duet on "Saciame Senor Yo Se Que Estas Aqui." You shouldn't miss the bonus cut here as well with McClurkin and Kirk Franklin teaming up for a slick and pleasing cover of the 70's soul classic "Ooh Ooh Child." The offering is generous on Psalms, Hymns & Spiritual Songs and Pastor McClurkin holds nothing back in this fire-and-ice worship celebration. --Michael Lyttle

Life has many disappointments and heartbreaks, even for those who are among God's believers. For Pastor Donnie McClurkin, those hardships included a youth fraught with domestic abuse at the hands of his drug addicted caretakers and an early adulthood bout with leukemia. As someone who has equally enjoyed both life's many blessings and varied devastations, McClurkin is perhaps best equipped to speak to the masses who struggle daily to reconcile God's unconditional love with their painful challenges. This autumn, he returns to minister unto legions through Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs.
This newest release in McClurkin's catalog is traditional, high church, praise and worship gospel music exhibiting McClurkin's unique ability to simultaneously entertain and heal. Highlights include the beloved devotional "Crown Him With Many Crowns," widely performed by some of gospel's most seminal artists, but receiving new life and soaring to new heights when interpreted by McClurkin. Between songs, McClurkin intersperses anecdotes about his ministerial sojourns to these far-flung locations in perhaps one of the most humorous and moving recorded moments in gospel music.
Recorded live at The Rock Church in Virginia Beach, VA on July 16th, 2004, and backed by a live orchestra, this album is rich with hilarious commentary and poignant testimonies alike, certain to delight and move all those who partake. A companion VHS and DVD of Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs will be simultaneously released. Gospel music fans will have the best seat in the house in which to watch and listen to the finest gospel music performances around the globe.
Following the rousing reception of gospel's most successful tour of all time, Hopeville, McClurkin is set to head back out on the road with fellow headliners Kirk Franklin and Yolanda Adams to reappear before some of the ninety cities and six million people the trio has already reached. In addition, McClurkin and his Hopeville partners will bring to the silver screen the much-awaited 20th Century Fox screen adaptation of Hopeville, currently in pre-production.
With a gold and a platinum album and critical acclaim from international audiences, it would be easy for a man of lesser conviction to abandon the course he's charted and succumb to the temptations of secular life. Pastor Donnie McClurkin has managed to keep his church and ministry at the forefront of his career. Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs is another cornerstone in the life and times of this dynamic spiritual leader.

This CD took me all the back to my childhood and reminded me of many people I hold dear in my heart. I enjoyed it tremendously. Donnie's voice cannot be matched to any other singer's voice. His voice is so anointed until tears just automatically flowed from my eyes and chills moved up and down my body as I listened to all of that anointing caught up in those hymns, Psalms, and Spiritual songs. This CD brought to my memory many hymns that I had almost forgotten because many of these hymns are not sung in many of our churches today. This CD is a "Must-Have" for all of God's people. It is a keepsake for me and I hold it as more valuable than gold.

His voice is unique and this CD just helps to expand it.

I will make this short and to the point. The CD was absolutely FABULOUS!!
Musically, Energetically and Inspiringly Brilliant Nov 14, 2006
Take it from a non-Christian who is a fan of gospel and some Christian pop music, Donnie McClurkin's great and powerful pop-tinged gospel music will stir your soul and send shivers of loving energy down your spine. "I Call You Faithful" is one of the most exciting and gorgeously performed tracks I've heard in a very long time, largely because of the exceptionally magnificent keyboard and piano tracks and the combined energies of all of the great vocalists. You don't have to belong to an organized religion to experience feelings of wonderment and purpose when a great singer is taking you to soaring places. Highest rating!
Glad I got it Jul 17, 2006
I heard this cd in someone's car and they were playing "God is Awesome God" in different languages and it was so beautiful. It seemed each song afterward was just as beautiful. They invoked praise! It comes with 2 disc's and I really like the second (not too fond of the last song though OOh Child). My favorite song is the one with Joann Rosario...this is a worship song for real. I think you'll be pleased...but definitely listen to the song samples and see for yourself.
