Gospel Legends John P. Kee Drops A New Single & Concert Video

Audio By Carbonatix

The gold-selling, Grammy® award nominated crown prince of contemporary gospel music, John P. Kee, is planning to release his first full-length album since 2019’s I Made It Out. A release date has not yet been set for the massive 30+ track compilation, Throwback: An Evening with John P. Kee (Kee Music Group / Tyscot Records).

However, Kee has just dropped a track and a music video from it on all digital music platforms. “Church Medley” is a fusion of Kee’s 1990s era standards “I Believe,” “I Won't Let Go,” “It Will Be Alright,” “Thank You Lord (He Did It All)” and ���He'll Welcome Me.” In the video, Kee is seated at the piano, commanding the ecstatic audience with the combined charisma of a circus ringmaster and a singing psychologist who knows just the words to lift the spirits of his patients. It’s a joyous reminder of Kee’s heyday hits but with just enough freshening and sanctified zeal to attract new fans.

The staggering project was recorded over the course of a year (as Kee was treated for cancer and the bacterial infection necrotizing fasciitis) with stops through over two dozen cities. The tour concluded with the video recording at Harbison Theatre @ Midland Tech College in Irmo, SC this past January. A few weeks ago, Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI), the 80+ year old performing rights organization, honored Kee with its Trailblazer of Gospel Music Award for his four decades of gospel music hits as a singer, songwriter, producer and talent scout. Along the way, he’s amassed over half a billion digital streams, eight Grammy® Award nominations, numerous Stellar Gospel Music Awards, a R.I.A.A. certified gold album, and over two dozen chart hits such as “Jesus is Real,” “Show Up,” “Standing in the Need” and “Life and Favor.” Some upcoming dates:
