•The Family burst on the scene in the early 90’s, with their debut album released by Kirk Franklin June 1993. This was also the debut album by Franklin in collaboration with his seventeen-voice formed choir, The Family.• This unique collection of individual singers gave birth to what we now know as Urban Contemporary Gospel Music. Itwas their unmistakable vocal style and flair that became ‘the sound’ of the 1990’s and early 2000’s. Formerly known as Kirk Franklin & The Family, this iconic group lit up the charts and toured the world collecting multiple Grammy, Stellar, NAACP, & Dove Awards along the way. Their vocals were the backdrop of hits such as "Silver & Gold", "The Reason Why We Sing" and so many others.•The Sound of Gospel Music has evolved over the years, and from their days touring the country as Kirk Franklin & the Family, this aggregation of powerful singers has always been at the front of the pack! Their ground-breaking sound was the architect for the Gospel music explosion of the 1990's and 2000's. Seemingly lost in the ever-changing landscape of the who's who of Gospel music, they are now BACK toremind the world that JESUS is still the reason why they sing, just as their very 1st crossover hit song proclaimed many years ago!•Their current single ‘Jesus (I Love You Lord Today)’ canbe heard on the brand-new chart-topping soundtrack from the Love Mountain film.•The Family’s newest project “Together Forever” is dropping October 3, 2025 and will be available on all digital streaming outlets.••Please send an email to Let's Talk: Gospel Music Gold sharing your thoughts about this show segment; also, if you have any suggestions of future guests you would like to hear on the show.
