Back in 1990, Take 6's founder of the Grammy Winning Acapella Band would often be asked in TV interviews
how TAKE 6 got started. Claude McKnight would inevitably start the story with Back in 1980......

I'm sure First Church Inspirational Choir director Cleveland Wilson would agree that this 1992 performance with Eleanor Wright singing solo on A Better Day, (a song she composed), was a highlight of their 50 year existence. For those who don't know, Eleanor along with the Blend Wright Trio and the Dale Wright Memorial Church in Germantown, Ohio, almost singlehandly made gospel music "legal" in the SDA denomination back in the late 60s and 70s.

This PreciousMemories Video was 33 YEARS in the making! I have never worked on a song that has personally blessed and encouraged me so much while working on it, considering its relevance to the disappointment many of us have experienced days before this was posted. Featured is DUAWNE STARLING with DYNAMIC PRAISE starting with a 1991 Performance and ending with a 2024 flash-forward of "VICTORY SHALL BE MINE. Its directed by the originator of DP Owen Simons. Thanks to the Madison Mission Church Production Team for participating in this project. This was also re-edited by Ted PreciousMemories Rivers, who was instrumental in dragging a reluctant and humble Duawne up out of the congregation to bless us with this much needed message in song during Dynamic Praise's 35th Dynamic Praise Reunion Singsperation. Please stay tuned for the anticipated "transition" that takes place midway through the video.
