“The Master Plan”

A message on gospel singer Tamela Mann’s website countering rumors that she and husband David have “been called on home to glory” reminds TBGB of the film Casablanca, in which Humphrey Bogart states sardonically that rumors of his death have been greatly exaggerated.
Hearing Tamela sing “The Master Plan” should put those rumors to bed once and for all. She lends her mighty gospel blues voice to this slowly simmering (and new) number that encourages listeners to shake off the blues. Her message: whenever you think nobody cares and wonder how bad things can happen to good people, remember that “God has a master plan.”
Tamela’s bouncy, contemporary praise song “The Joy of the Lord” may be the single preferred by radio, but nothing beats the soul-wrenching gospel blues, especially from this Texas-based singer and actress.
