“Made It”
Praise Report
From the Ace Beat Records album It’s Time 2009

Ace Mungin’s Ace Beat Records of Fayetteville, Georgia “bridges the sound of the young and hip with the classic and timely.” It’s gospel house music with “the power of the grooving bass line working the dance floor.”
One of the label’s current singles, “Made It” by Praise Report, fits this description to a T.
Ricky Nelson and Praise Report deliver soulful, feel-good vocals with the energy, melody and harmonies common in today’s evangelical ensemble singing. The steady rhythm track, on the other hand, is a flashback to the Seventies: a Gamble-Huff fueled locomotive in Peter Max bellbottoms and cheshire cat smile strutting toward its destination. By the time Praise Report interpolates the “whoa-oh-a-oh” line from the O’Jays’ “I Love Music,” the listener already has his seat on the Love Train.
