“He Didn’t Give Up On Me”
Curtis Branson
From the Stew Records CD I Still Have a Praise (2008)

“He Didn’t Give Up on Me” is a gratefully rendered acknowledgement of God’s commitment to, and faith in, His people when they face tribulation and even after they “mess up, gave up the right for the wrong.” Chicagoan Curtis Branson delivers this lovely and inspirational gospel ballad with a humble cry lodged somewhere in the back of his throat.

The simple and honest message, and its presentation by Branson, whose voice combines the huskiness of Michael McDonald and the plaintive shout of Marvin Sapp, follows in the footfalls of Sapp’s 2008 smash, “Never Would Have Made It” in its emotional intensity.

Branson is an experienced music minister who has served as a director of the Combined Choir at Bishop Larry D. Trotter’s Sweet Holy Spirit Church on Chicago’s southeast side. He has recorded with Chicago-based but nationally-known artists such as VaShawn Mitchell and William Steward III & V.O.P.M., and performed with Angela Spivey and the Voices of Victory. I Still Have a Praise is his second CD.
