Donald Lawrence studied at Cincinnati Conservatory, where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in music. To his credit, Donald's musicality has seen many incarnations, as vocal coach to the R&B group En Vogue, musical director for Stephanie Mills, songwriter for The Clark Sisters, and producer for a host of artists including Peabo Bryson and Kirk Franklin. Lawrence took on The Tri-City Singers after a friend vacated his position as musical director.
The group debuted in 1993 with A Songwriter's Point Of View on a then-brand-new independent record label called GospoCentric Records. The set debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top Gospel Charts. The group's follow-up release Bible Stories would top those same charts when it arrived in 1995. It was the first to be billed as Donald Lawrence & The Tri-City Singers and featured black church-ubiquitous hits such as "A Message For The Saints", "I Am God" and "Stranger".
In 1997, Donald Lawrence produced the live portion of Karen Clark Sheard's Grammy-nominated Finally Karen debut. Lawrence & Tri-City also released the seasonal Hello Christmas the same year.
In 2000, Donald Lawrence & The Tri-City Singers signed to EMI Gospel. To promote the new album, a maxi CD of the lead single "Testify" to the mainstream. House remixes by Junior Vasquez sent the song to #33 on Billboard's Mainstream Dance Charts. When tri-city4.com was finally released in 2001, the set peaked at #2 on Billboard's Top Gospel Charts and #13 on Billboard's Heatseekers Charts. The album also got a profile boost from the all-star standout "God's Favor", featuring vocal turns from Karen Clark Sheard, Kim Burrell, and Kelly Price.
In 2004 "I Speak Life" was Donald Lawrence' first solo album, the debut for his newly inked recording contract with Verity Records, and also the first release under his new sublabel Quiet Water Entertainment. Though the album was without The Tri-City Singers, guest appearances were plenteous. Donnie McClurkin, Hezekiah Walker, Faith Evans, Richard Smallwood, and Carl Thomas all contributed to the album. Even jazz notables Ramsey Lewis and Lalah Hathaway were on hand for a remake of the Bible Stories classic "Don't Forget To Remember".

Ain't this Donald Lawrence on the CD cover page.... why the lady looks like Tony in seven whole days...
And unbreak my heart with the secular signature brand of the Open Lips Look Pose OLLP?"
That's not for Christian.... Market an altar.... create a sphere to open the heavens... don't try to sell me that pose..... there's too many consecration arts in you....
The Art working in you....
Holiness it is call... if you're single...
If you want to present intimacy and romance to your wife or to husband do that somewhere else not on my gospel track I'm taking home to my family, kids and noisy people who want to see a collection of my spirituals.....
Love,
Luvienne Nonord
@HISongbird
Singers, musicians, choir members those of the Levitical priesthood take notice. Please!!!!
This is a result of her intimate fellowship & relationship with her Lord & Savior. Not just the notes & riffs but the sweetness & the Presence of God that flows & imminates from her spirit when she sings.
In fact, she's not just singing, she's ministering - ministering to the Lord & we just happen to be blessed to hear it.
What you do in secret God will reward you openly for.
The intimate time we spend with Him is more important than the time we spend practicing. It's not just about the song or craft, it's about the Christ/Spirit within the vessel.
Beautiful Lalah. Your love for your Savior is quite evident & we are all blessed for it.
May your depth in Christ continue to grow stronger everyday. β€πππΎ

Pillow talk with Jesus in the morning is the best, brings tears to your eyes if you praise and worship Him the right way! I've always loved this songβ€
@wandaword2568
I'm kinda feeling a little weird about pillow talk with the Holy Yeshua.(jesus). Or our all knowing/powerful/everywhere YHWH(god). She does a beautiful beautiful expression of the lyrics tho. I felt some type of way π cause she has this 'ora'. I ran from her for a long time bcause of her father's ora. Then I happened up on that kim burrell snip-it. I'm hooked. She inherited her father's gifts coupled with her own??? (double portion). It does something to me, in my nephish(soul-ish relm)...that's where my desires reside...ooops TMI π I suppose...confession is scriptural tho.
@BeverlyWhite-mk6ck
@@wandaword2568 Pillow talk for me is having an intimate conversation with God, sharing how I feel and what's on my mind! Not in a posture of prayer, but just laying in bed talking to the God I love! I'm single, so that's my intimate conversation where I can lay bare whatever is on my heart.....
@nicolehunter5927
Yeeeeees BROWN IS BEAUTIFUL. ME TOO. the intimacy
