| | Kirk Franklin Hero CD Kirk Franklin Discography of CDs
 (23 Customer Reviews)
Featuring guest appearances by Stevie Wonder ("Why"), Dorinda Clark-Cole ("Hero"), and Yolanda Adams ("Afterwhile"), not to mention a song that utilizes a Tears for Fears sample ( "Let It Go"), the album offers plenty of variety, and a few surprises, in addition to its large-scale arrangements. Franklin manages to integrate these new elements perfectly into the celebratory and healing music on which he's built his career.
Though testimonies of faith and questions of morality are still at the heart of Kirk Franklin's message, 2005's HERO represents something of a musical departure for the gospel superstar. Recorded with a full orchestra--complete with lush strings and driving horns--HERO is one of Franklin's most musically ambitious outings.
Personnel: Kirk Franklin (vocals, rap vocals, keyboards); Dorinda Clark-Cole, J. Moss, African Children's Choir, Stevie Wonder, Tye Tribbett (vocals); Doc Powell, Todd Parsnow (guitars); Matt Butler (cello); Paulie Cerra (saxophone); Dave Monsch (baritone saxophone); Lee Thornburg, Jamie Hovorka (trumpet); Humberto Ruiz (trombone); Shaun Martin (keyboards, drums); Jerome Harmon (keyboards); Braylon Lacy (electric bass); Terri Baker (drums); Andre Harris, Sheila E., Vidal Davis (percussion).

Hero
 $6.25 
With its heavy R&B leanings, DAY BY DAY is easily one of gospel singer Yolanda Adams's most accessible and energetic records. However, this doesn't mean that her messages of praise get lost in the potent pop-tinged production; in fact, Adams is as passionate as ever about her faith, as revealed on the formidable opening track, "Victory," which immediately shines a spotlight on her powerful vocals. Renowned producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis contribute to a trio of tracks here (most notably the buoyant "Lift Him Up," featuring Donnie McClurkin and Mary Mary), while gospel-crossover ...

Hero
$12.99
After her somewhat lukewarm 2003 release LOVE & LIFE, Mary J. Blige returns to her rightful place as the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul with 2005's THE BREAKTHROUGH. Blige enlisted a host of guest producers to contribute tracks to THE BREAKTHROUGH, and the result is one of her strongest and most varied albums. As usual, the sound is a mixture of smooth, urban contemporary and hip-hop edge, but Blige nails it with tracks like the pulsing "Enough Cryin'" (with its rich, multi-layered vocals) and the ...

"The Sexiest Sax In Show Biz" That's how saxophone virtuoso JAY ORLANDO is known to his legion of fans. And he can be counted on to live up his billing ar every performance.Orlando, who has always had a mystical faith in his ability to weave sheer musical magic with his golden sax, has become the high priest of the instrument. Jay does with the sax what Tom Jones and Elvis Presley do with a song - frenetic body gyrations and all. The whole atmosphere of the room is charged with electric excitement the minute his sax goes into action. Crowds flood his immediate area, whooping it up in a heavenly frenzy that would create havoc at an African voodoo convention. ORLANDO'S sax sexiness isn't his only musical trademark. A true aura of saxophobia pervades any room offering his electrifying wares. He's richly endowed with superb tone and flawless technique. His mass appeal and unique sax styling his extraordinarily dexterous playing, his creativity, his magnetic personality, and his impeccable musicianship readily communicate themselves to his rapt listeners. It's no wonder then that ORLANDO'S sensational sax work, featuring great individuality and tremendous lift, has been likened to the legendary instrumental soloists of the big band era - musical giants who spellbound their audiences with their powerhouse performances. One of their worshipful fans in his teenage days, ORLANDO is re-living their rich musical experiences with his magnificent sax. But Jay has added an extra touch. He happens to be the hardest working instrumentalist in the world of music. Gifted with an incredibly boundless supply of energy. ORLANDO'S remarkable sounds are never stilled throughout each of his action packed and thrill - studded shows. His audiences, invariably keyed to a high state of excitement and explosive emotionalism, seemingly appear more exhausted than ORLANDO. Many shake their heads in disbelief at JAY'S sustained sax excursions and amazing bursts of energy equivalent to that of a carload of tigers. ORLANDO, who was born in Detroit, Michigan of Italian parentage was hooked on music at an early age. While other kids on his block played baseball and stick ball and went swimming. Jay spent man enraptured hours listening to big band Detroit's Fox Theatre. On many occasion he would use his school lunch money for a front seat view of the parade of bands at the Fox. Sometimes he would play hookey from school. Especially if the matinee show scheduled conflict with school hours. At the age of 13 his parents enrolled him in a music school conducted by Professor Anthony ...
