The Love Fellowship Choir

The Love Fellowship Choir – initially envisioned by Pastor Walker as nothing more than a weekend outlet for his talents – is also recognized and appreciated for its innovation and musical artistry.
The choir first began performing in local arenas and halls, as well as churches, hospitals, prisons and even the streets. “We began as a concert choir but changed to a ‘ministry choir,’” says Walker. “I had no idea when we started [the choir] that it was ever going to reach the international notoriety that it has.”

In 1986 Love Fellowship Choir recorded their first live album, entitled “I’ll Make It” which became a smashing hit in gospel music. In 1989 the choir recorded their 2nd live recording entitled “Oh Lord We Praise You” which put the choir along side with other major gospel artist. In 1990 the choir received major secular attention which brought them to arenas to perform with Celine Dion, Patti Labelle, Brian McKnight, Enrique Iglesias, Kenneth “ BabyFace” Edmonds, and numerous other stars; the choir has also recorded with Teddy Riley, Sean “P.Diddy” Combs, Brandy, Kelly Price, Faith Evans, Ray Charles and Justin Timberlake just to name a few.

Over the years, many songs by the Love Fellowship Choir have become nothing short of anthems for the young gospel church, among them “Clean Inside”, “Jesus Is My Help”, “Wonderful Is Your Name”, “Power Belongs to God” and “Let’s Dance.”

The choir’s musical accomplishments include 9 hit albums on the Verity label. One of his recent recordings is historical being the only Live Gospel Recording to ever take place at the world renowned Radio City Music Hall – February 2002. The choir’s latest CD entitled “20/85 The Experience” has become an all time favorite of music lovers. With Gospel artist, writer, arranger and producer-extraordinaire Donald Lawrence behind the boards, 20/85 The Experience is the perfect convergence of musical finesse and precision with unbridled spontaneity and excitement.

“Lift Him Up” is a high-energy explosion of pure, undiluted, traditional Sunday morning church that defies any living human being to sit still in the pew. LFC shines on “Faithful is Our God,” a modern-day, choral and congregational anthem of praise destined to be sung for generations to come.

20/85 The Experience is the eleventh consecutive Top 10 Gospel album by Love Fellowship Choir since their 1986 chart debut, and it continues Hez’s hit-making tradition of mixing high-energy, modern R&B with traditional Gospel roots into a sound that can be credited with having had a major hand in birthing the now pervasive genre of contemporary, urban Gospel. Rather than being a repackaging of notable moments in Hez & Love Fellowship Choir’s long history, 20/85 The Experience features twelve new songs, each of which Hezekiah explains, relate in unique but very relevant ways to the many phases and stages of the choir’s long history.

To the choir credits are 2 Grammy Awards, 12 Grammy nominations, among countless other Dove, Stellar, NAACP and privately recognized awards and nominations.
