Tamela Mann - Before Madea!

Good evening, all! Hope you had a good day!

I'm in one of those rare moods where I'm a little worn out from work situations, and just wanted to share something with you that would pick you up if you're in a down mood. If the woman singing lead on this song looks a bit familiar, it's because you've probably seen her in one of Tyler Perry's "Madea" movies or in one of his stage plays as Cora Brown, the niece of that crazy Leroy Brown, who happens to be her real life husband David. Tamela and David actually started singing in Texas as part of Kirk Franklin's group "The Family". She's always had a special type of voice, not as sweet as some singers but not as harsh and down home as some of the older gospel singers. This is probably her best known song from those days, "Don't Take Your Joy Away".



Have a blessed evening!
