Marvin Sapp leads the nation with his inspirational songs spreading the word of God across the nation. Hit song “The Best In Me” touches lives of the young and the old, and prior to this his song “Never Could Have Made It” swept the nation off its feet. Marvin Sapp has release eight albums either as a solo artist or with a group. Marvin Sapp leads the Lighthouse Full Gospel Center Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Sapp goes through trials and tribulations with his church as well as his family.
Melinda Sapp recently died after shortly after Marvin Sapp released “Here I Am” Album leaving him with three children. Through the heartache and pain surrounding Sapp he is still able to keep his composer. He still leads his church family and makes beautiful music. Trials and tribulations make us who we are, and Sapp trials and tribulations have placed him in a position to lead and win many awards.
Leader Marvin Sapp has won many awards as a gospel artist. He has recently won seven stellar awards for his “Here I Am” album and songs. Sapp has the highest gospel song ever rated on the R&B and Hip/Hop charts with “The Best In Me” reaching number fourteen. With gospel rap and gospel comedy having an affect on the gospel industry Sapp is creating a different path. Sapp is laying a new foundation for gospel music in the 21st century.
In the future, I think the path that Sapp has created will be followed. I think other artist will make a similar style of music, and his foundation will be normal for gospel artist. The reason I think artist will follow this path is because he is making consistent hit songs. He is not going to be able to sing forever, but he has a laid the foundation.
