Biography

Another in the line of gospel artists putting the soul and fervor back in R&B music, Yolanda Adams' debut album, Just as I Am appeared in 1988 on Sounds of Gospel. Though she was initially criticized in the Christian community for embracing secular music and fashion to accompany her gospel-themed music, the growth of publicly popular gospel in the mid-'90s pushed her into the spotlight; Adams toured with Kirk Franklin & the Family, and her 1996 album, Yolanda Live in Washington, was nominated for a Grammy. In 1999, Mountain High Valley Low topped her live album by winning a Grammy. ~ John Bush
