Spotted by Bob Marovich, of the Black Gospel Blog. The song is called "What I Wish for You," and the performance is from August. He says a full-length gospel album is due from the acclaimed Broadway singer this fall. "I grew up in the church," says Headley, in a recent journal entry on her official Web site, "actually above the church, and this album not only grants me a way for me to sing music I've always wanted to, but it also gives me a chance to give God some overdue praise for everything He has done, and continues to do for me."
The URL of this site is Prodigalreturn.blogspot.com to mirror the Bible's story of the prodigal son because, like that son, many of God's sons and daughters are making our way back to the Holy Father after trying things our way and getting into all sorts of trouble. I am setting out to have a stronger relationship with the Lord, and plan to share with you encouraging music, books and other things that inspire me. I have been a reporter and editor for industry and publishing. I have covered business management, health care, and secular urban music (including a couple reviews in The Source and an internship at Rolling Stone). I plan to use the skills I learned from the School of Hard Knocks and Temple University to help you (and me) in our spiritual search.
I am a Christian and a writer. I love music and am also winning at the battle of the bulge! I have a blog on urban Christian music and one on how to lose weight but not lose taste when it comes to food choices. Please feel free to check in from time to time on my progress with my Christian journey and my weight loss!
