She is an 'activist' for the family and has held meetings and press conferences through her non-profit organization 'Guiding Action Through Education' [in the 90's], informing the community on issues that affect the family.
Written in 1972, "I Want Us To Be Together In Heaven" has been recorded in over twenty-five states and in Canada. The song was in the top ten on the Southern Gospel Charts by the Principals for many months... AND is the only song to have been in the top 20 by two different groups [The Principals and The Inspirations] for many months...AND is the only song to have been in the Top 80 by three different groups [The Principals, The Inspirations, and the Singing Cooks].
Carol is a Radio/TV Producer and has hosted several radio 'talk' shows, and her own cable TV Show, 'Carol Mc's Family Hour', which received top ratings during its two year run. Both radio and TV shows had interviews with pro-family leaders. The TV show also featured her own 'Gospel Music Videos', and local amateur children's talent. She also has authored several books that are available online and on ebook, including: "Raised Up Hard in the Georgia Pines", and "Family Comes First".
Carol chose to re-release many songs that were on her 1986 album, and include some old and some new songs. Her re-make of 'You'll Never Defeat Us', is 'framed' around the daily news reports of 'alkida' threats. 'No One's Gathering' was written after the death of her father. 'Sounds Like Home To Me' was written after the death of her sister, Helen. Carol had previously lost her Mom, Dad, Brother, and Oldest Sister.
Carol lives in her hometown of Alpharetta, Georgia, with her husband, Elias. Learn more about Carol's music and ministry at her Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/caroltalkingtruth and her website, http://www.carolmc.net/
