“My Daddy” (aka “Daddy’s Song”)
Evelyn Turrentine-Agee
From the WOS Records CD
Double Exposure (2008)
www.amazon.com

Gospel radio programmers know there are volumes of sacred songs about mother: praying, loving, going to church, singing, teaching, denied, on her sick bed, gone on home. The list goes on.

But outside of the Heavenly Father, are there good gospel songs about earthly fathers?

Detroit’s own Evelyn Turrentine-Agee has one: “My Daddy.”

This song, from her Double Exposure CD, is a weeper, pedal steel and all, about the impact a hard-working, faithful, loving father had on her life. Ideal for Father’s Day.

TBGB readers: what are your favorite gospel songs for Father’s Day?
