“Tell the Lord Thank You”Evangelist Lemmie Battles (2011)
Chicago’s Lemmie Battles lights up any meeting room, auditorium or church with her effervescent personality, which bursts forth through her traditional gospel singing.
On her new single, “Tell the Lord Thank You,” Battles does what she does best: shout troubles over in a bouncy mid-tempo, aisle-walking, congregation-stirring evangelistic explosion of thanksgiving. Having beaten cancer three times, Battles is the testimony she sings about.
“Tell the Lord Thank You” is so Chicago, so Lemmie Battles, so straight ahead traditional.
