In case you’ve been out of the loop for the past few years, Ted Winn and Sheri Jones-Moffett have been taking the gospel music industry by storm. Touting a fresh sound coupled with anointed lyrics and phat beats, these Memphis, TN natives have been continuously garnering critical acclaim while establishing a grassroots following across the country and overseas. Originally members of The Voices of Binghampton (now known as Kevin Davidson & The Voices), Ted & Sheri have honed their musical mettle with some of Gospel’s most notable figures. Sheri has been a featured soloist with Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers, while Ted has yielded his vocal styling to Richard Smallwood and Vision. Yet, it was their collaboration with each other that has generated the greatest buzz.

Hey good lookin'
What you got cookin'
I need it on a Saturday night
Don't know if I fall
In a rock n' roll hall
So turn it up, turn it up, make it louder than hell
Turn it up, turn it up, make it ring like a bell
I know what I like
I got to turn it up tonight
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, louder, louder
Oh my god lock and load
The stage is like a wall of sound
What I need
To help blow the walls down
Turn it up, turn it up, make it louder than hell
Turn it up, turn it up, make it ring like a bell
I know what I like
I got to turn it up tonight
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, louder, louder, louder, yeah
(Instrumental Interlude)
Oh my god lock and load
The stage is like a wall of sound
What I need
To help blow the walls down
Turn it up turn it up make it louder than hell
Turn it up turn it up make it ring like a bell
I know what I like
I got to turn it up tonight
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, louder, louder, louder, yeah

So, turn it up, turn it up, make it louder than hell
Turn it up, turn it up, make it ring like a bell
I know what I like
I got to turn it up tonight
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, louder, louder, louder, yeah
(Instrumental Interlude)
Yeah, yeah
