“Thanks For My Mama” – Joe Russell

“Thanks For My Mama”

As hearts and minds turn to Mother’s Day (May 8), there’s no music like gospel to pay tribute to the family’s selfless anchor.

On “Thanks For My Mama,” South Florida’s Joe Russell, formerly of the Debonairs but now a gospel singer, croons his genuine gratitude for his mother’s reassurance, discipline, and love. He also misses her. “She was the best thing that ever happened to me.”

I can see gospel radio stations, especially in the south and southeast, playing “Thanks For My Mama” on Mothers Day.
