Hamilton, NJ.
- Lady Peachena & The Late Show’s Gospel Choir should make a multitude of
new fans with their new CD, “Jesus Lives
in Me.” Lady Peachena started off this highly inspirational album paying
homage to Gospel’s first Queen, Mahalia Jackson, by singing three of her
biggest hits, “It Is No Secret,” “I Found the Answer,” & “How I Got Over,”
with The Late Show’s Gospel Choir supplying sweet harmonies in the background.
There’s something for everybody on this album; the
traditional hymns for the older crowd, and rhythmic upbeat Urban-Gospel songs
for the younger fans. Lady Peachena’s powerful voice soars over all the songs.
She poured out pure raw soul over the songs that she co-wrote with three known
musicians, Joeworn Martin, Dwayne Gott, & Gregg Fitz. The future smash hit
is the title song, “Jesus Lives in Me,” a driving Funk-Gospel rocker that she
wrote with Joeworn Martin, who has written several hit songs for Bishop
Hezekiah Walker’s Grammy-winning Love Fellowship Choir. With another LFT Levite
band member, bassist Dwayne Gott, she composed the church-rocking anthem, “Watch
God Work,” a song that’s reminiscent of Lady Peachena’s tenure with
the Institutional Radio Choir. With former bandmate, Gregg Fitz, keyboardist
with funk-rock band, Quazar, (she was one of the lead singers),
(1977-78), she composed “Let’s Celebrate” and
“Work Your Faith.” Somber ballad, “Many
People Don’t Pray,” is a touching song that will surely grip your
heart. Longtime friend & assistant choir director, Deborah
Sargeant, organized most of the soulful vocal arrangements for the choir.
Since 1997, Lady Peachena has been a member of Love
Fellowship Tabernacle of Brooklyn, NY, where Bishop Hezekiah X. Walker is senior
pastor. She’s an original member of the church’s Rhema Choir as well as a
former member of LFT’s Celebration Choir, and the Grammy-winning Love
Fellowship Choir. This Grammy-nominated songwriter has produced 5 solo albums,
3 children’s choir albums, and this is her second production of The Late Show’s
Gospel Choir. All of these albums are available on www.cdbaby.com,
www.amazon.com,
www.itunes.com,
and other music outlets on the Internet.
Recently the Late Show’s Gospel Choir
performed with Gospel’s First Lady, Shirley Caesar, singing a medley of her
hits with Gospel icon, Kirk Franklin directing them at the GRAMMY SALUTE TO
MUSIC LEGENDS at the Beacon Theater last July 11, 2017, in NYC. Former MD of “The
LATE SHOW,” Paul Shaffer, was the show’s musical director. Rev. Shirley Caesar
received Grammy’s Lifetime Achievement Award along with honorees Sly Stone,
Charlie Pride, the late Nina Simone, & others. This spectacular show was
filmed by PBS TV’S “GREAT PERFORMANCE” concert series that will air it later
this Fall on WNET/Channel 13.

Lives in Me” is now available at: www.cdbaby.com/cd/ladypchoir7.
