“Celebrate”
Dr. Jeff Jacobs
From the Global Gospel CD He’s Just Alright (2009)
Songwriter, recording artist and music minister Dr. Jeff Jacobs of Baltimore is a veteran of the gospel music scene, having written his first song more than thirty years ago. Since then, his compositions have been performed by some of the country’s top professional choirs.
“Celebrate,” from Dr. Jacobs’ latest album, He’s Just Alright, is an upbeat and uncomplicated praise and worship choral piece that floats on a funky bass run. The album was released last summer but the single is timed for Christmas rotation. On the other hand, neither the lyrics nor the melody of “Celebrate” are holiday-specific and thus it is appropriate for play 365 days of the year.

Hi Bob, I was wondering if you could start putting a sample of some of the gospel artist’s music on your site. Also a link to purchase their CD would be most helpful. I appreciate what you are doing. This is just a suggestion that would save me two steps.
LaTonya, thank you for making such excellent suggestions. I will be sure to let everyone know where to purchase the CD, and will work on ways to get a snippet of the music up on line, with the artists’ permission.
