The album may be seventeen years old but its message is timeless. Though Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, and Donnie McClurkin may be more familiar to contemporary audiences, they owe a debt to The Mississippi Mass Choir, one of the forerunners in the current explosion of chart-topping Christian artists.

The songs on the album range from the funky gospel of "Call Him Up, Parts I and II" to the foot-stomping beat of "I Just Can't Tell You (How Good He's Been)" to the traditional sound of such crowd-pleasers as "Near the Cross" and "I'm Pressing On."

The "live" audience strengthens the experience of this true classic gospel album.

The Mississippi Mass Choir is truly a blessing from God. There is no sound like them, not a one can touch the great sounds of this choir. There music is on c.d. is great, it's even better when you hear and see them live in concert. The songs "Fix what's broke" is the best on the Emmanuel c.d! and "They got the word" is great too. But the sounds of Frank Williams , no one can touch his voice, "Near the Cross" makes you want to dance all night long . Choir keep it up , and good luck on your next project!

I first came across the Mississippi Mass Choir on cassette. This is a truly uplifting choir. My two most favorite songs are "Having You There" and "Near the Cross". Whenever I feel a little discouraged I simply play this tape and I begin to realize that I am not alone in my struggle and that God is with me every step of the way. As the song says "Having you there made the difference.....". I recommend this CD to anyone who loves gospel music and wants to be inspired to keep the faith.

I bought this on cassette tape years ago and wore out three of them! My favorite gospel music is in choral form. I prefer a choir to one person doing most of the singing. So the harmony alone is worth the purchase. Every song is inspirational and uplifting. And everyone can identify with at least one song. I've loved We Shall Meet Again since the first time I heard it. Since losing my father in January of this year, it means even more.
If you like gospel music sung in choir form, please buy this cd. You won't be disappointed!
