“Serve the Lord”
Leanne Faine & Favor
From the CD Serve the Lord
Powerhouse Chicago gospel singer Leanne (“The Conqueror”) Faine cut her musical teeth singing under the direction of Dr. Mattie Moss Clark and Rev. Milton Brunson, so it’s no surprise she can tear up a church with the ferocity of a Vanessa Bell Armstrong or Pastor Shirley Caesar.
On “Serve the Lord,” from her latest release of the same name, Faine leads a church rouster, declaring, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Then, during the song’s vamp, Faine outlines the many ways she will serve Him, including in her dance, which you can almost visualize, courtesy of the stomping sanctified beat.
