Jennifer Holliday – The Original Dream Girl and Two-Time Grammy Award winning recording artist, and her pastor, Rev. Raphael G. Warnock (pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta – the spiritual home of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ), have collaborated on a new inspirational CD of Warnock’s sermonettes that are seasoned with Holliday’s dynamic vocalizing. The ten-track project entitled, “Goodness and Mercy” (Euphonic Records), releases via Holliday’s own Euphonic Records label on April 19, 2011 with national distribution by New Day Christian Distribution in Nashville, TN.
“What and honor and privilege it is to partner with the legendary Ms. Jennifer Holliday,” says New Day’s Director of Artist Relations, Thomas Rollins. “All of the staff at New Day is excited about the endless possibilities and opportunities distributing an artist of this caliber provides us. We look forward to a long relationship.” The new radio single, “God is Faithful,” is currently available as a digital download on CDBaby.com and will soon be serviced to gospel radio formats for airplay.
Miss Holliday is most famously known for creating and portraying the dramatic role of Effie White in the original Broadway production of “Dream Girls” and her show-stopping signature song, “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going.” Holliday has since recorded five solo CDs and two Broadway and movie soundtrack recordings. She has also made numerous guest TV appearances as an actress, most notably for playing the role of Lisa Knowles for five seasons on the hit Fox TV show, “Ally McBeal.” Today, she continues to perform around the world in concerts and Symphony Pops Orchestra engagements, as well as, guest Broadway appearances.
