GLORIA SAPP
"Not by might, nor by power, but by the spirit of the Lord."
Gospel singer and songwriter Gloria Sapp has been sharing her gift of song since
she was ten years old. A native of Monroe, Louisiana, Gloria has enjoyed a
decades-long career singing in choirs, serving as choir directress and
participating in church competitions throughout California. She had the
opportunity to travel the states as a part of The Gospel Music Workshop in 1980,
performing with Reverend James Cleveland, with whom she recorded an album in
1985. Her group Gloria Sapp & the Gospellodians traveled with B.J. Fears and
Free Spirit, sharing the stage with gospel greats such as Shirley Ceasar, and
more. Gloria's albums include a 45" recorded in 1980, as well as the original
version of "The Way, The Truth, and The Life",
made in 1978. This album featured the Gospellodians, with whom she sang until
1983, when she paused her music career indefinitely to support her husband's
efforts as the new pastor at their church.
After dedicating herself to her role as pastor's wife for many years, and
raising her three children, Gloria has stepped onto another path.In her efforts
to uplift and encourage, she has put all her faith in a ministry of song.
Reviving her independent record label Taff Records, Gloria revised
"The Way, The Truth, and The Life" Released in 2003, the new album
is her expression of the transcendence of a melodious voice inspired by God.
Twenty-five years later, she has returned to the studio to share her vocal
talents with the world. A collaboration with Grammy Nominee and Stellar Award
winning producer Kenny Smith, this eight-song album, written and arranged by
Gloria, relies on the rich history of traditional gospel music, with the
addition of contemporary tunes underscored by an influence of instrumental jazz.
