The great thing about worship is that it is something that is lived out. John 4:23 tells us God isn’t necessarily looking for worship, but for worshippers! As my worship is lived out on a daily basis, others around me who don’t know about God get to encounter His goodness and His love!”- Joseph Perry

It seems that Tye Tribbett and Greater Anointing will be parting ways. It is being reported that in 2010 Tye will be launching a solo career and that their New Year’s Eve concert in Washingotn was the last event that he would be doing with Greater Anointing. Tye apparently broke the news of his decision to his choir members
at a rehersal and it didn’t go down too well.
In 2009 Tye went through a number of personal situations which were reported around the world. He bounced back and went back to performing and ministering both in the US and the Caribbean including Jamaica.
Always performing with a live band and is known for being theatrical in their performance and Tye doing the splits, Greater Anointing will be missed on the scene.
They were different in their approach, style and presentation and had a strong presence with young people as they came with something fresh.

THIS insightful book is the result of a 10-year quest by author Steve Smith to discover the origins and development of gospel music in Britain. Written in first-person, Smith believes this music’s history should be documented and merits the attention already given to calypso, ska and reggae, all of which – like black British gospel – owe their presence in Britain to Afro-Caribbean immigration.
Using interesting illustrations and commentary by gospel artists, Smith pinpoints key movements in the music, beginning with a UK visit in 1873 of the black American Fisk Jubilee singers, and ending with speculations about British gospel music’s future directions.
