INFORMATION ABOUT THE MISSISSIPPI MASS CHOIR From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_Mass_Choir "The Mississippi Mass Choir is an American gospel choir based in Jackson, Mississippi.
... Frank Williams, a member of The Jackson Southernaires and an executive in the gospel music division of Malaco Records, decided to form the Mississippi Mass Choir. First, he got the record company's support. Then, he began calling on Mississippi talents like David R. Curry Jr., who became the choir's minister of music. Having laid the foundation, open auditions were held and over 100 voices from across the state came together to form the Mississippi Mass Choir. After months of rehearsals, the Mississippi Mass Choir recorded their eponymous debut album and video live at Thalia Mara Hall (formerly Jackson Municipal Auditorium) on October 29, 1988.
In the spring of 1989, five weeks after their debut album was released, Billboard magazine certified it as the Number 1 Spiritual album in the country. The album stayed on the Billboard charts for 45 consecutive weeks, setting a new record for gospel recordings. At the 9th annual James Cleveland GMWA Awards, the Mississippi Mass Choir won the Choir of the Year-Contemporary, and Best New Artist of the Year-Traditional. They also won four Stellar Awards in 1989 and were nominated in several categories for the 1989 Soul Train Music Awards and Dove Awards.
The choir's second album, God Gets The Glory, was recorded
live at the Mississippi Coliseum on December 8, 1990. The album debuted on the
Billboard chart in the Number 16 position, reaching Number 1 position two weeks
later. Awards followed with the release of the album. The Choir recorded two
live albums, one in 1991 with Williams and James Moore as leads, and with Moore
again in 1995. The choir's third and most popular album, It Remains to be
Seen..., was recorded live at Thalia Mara Hall in January 1993, and remained at
the top of the charts for an entire year. This album, unfortunately, would be
the last album that the choir would ever record with their founder Williams,
who died of a heart attack in Savannah, Georgia on March 22, 1993.
Eight more albums have been released since Frank Williams' death. Executive director Jerry Mannery states, “We are all about our Father’s business. We are not entertainers; we are ministers for Christ. Our mission remains constant; to serve the Lord and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”...

Years active- 1988-present
