Ever
since her late-`80s debut Just As I Am, Yolanda Adams has triumphantly carried
the torch for contemporary gospel and inspirational music via 12 glorious
albums. Stunningly beautiful, exceptionally educated, filled with the spirit
and blessed with one of the most powerful voices in any genre of music, this
Houston-native and one-time school teacher has been a stately beacon of God’s
light. She has earned numerous accolades for her shining efforts, including the
first American Music Award for Contemporary Gospel Artist and four Gospel Music
Association Dove Awards.
One of the greatest
highlights of her career was winning five National Academy of Recording Arts
and Sciences Grammy® Awards which includes 1999’s Best Contemporary Soul Gospel
Album for Mountain High…Valley Low featuring her crossover breakthrough hit
“Open My Heart,” and 2005’s Best Gospel Song, co-written by Ms. Adams herself,
“Be Blessed.” Yolanda Adams is truly the ‘first lady of modern gospel’. Her
pioneering blend of modern gospel with R&B and infused with a touch of jazz
continues to inspire her fans and transform the musical landscape
