You Can Make It (CD)

Ten Grammy awards...seventeen Dove awards...twelve Stellar awards...a Soul Train Music award...an NAACP Image Award winner...author...Pastor...wife...it is very easy to define someone by their awards and accomplishments, but Shirley Caesar prefers to emphasize that everything she does has a spiritual purpose with the intent to "change hearts and lead people to the Lord, then to motivate them to take up responsibilities to care for one another". You Can Make It continues the legacy of the 'First Lady of Gospel' to deliver music that will appeal to both the traditional and contemporary gospel music market. Traditional tracks were recorded with the Mt. Calvary choir out of Durham, North Carolina and the Bobby Jones Nashville Super Choir. New Direction brings a contemporary edge on the track 'Rejoice'. A 'Behind The Scenes' video will air on local and national television networks prior to street date which will give a very personal view of Shirley Caesar in the studio creating You Can Make It. Other television appearances prior to street date include a feature performance on BET's 20th Anniversary special. Shirley Caesar has delivered a collection of music that is soulful, warm and lyrically inspires all listeners that You Can Make It.
