“Churchin'”
Angela “Missy” Billups
From the CD Churchin’
Missy B Music 2005

Resplendent in her going-to-church millinery, “Missy” Billups reminds us on the hand-clapping, organ-and-tambourine powered “Churchin'” what singing sounds like when saints get together to have “ch’ch.” The song is a vibrant, non-stop medley of old-time songs, led by Billups and her backup vocalists, that is sure to get your heart racing and your shoutin’ shoes a-shuffling.
On the CD’s extended version, organist Ernest Billups swings rockabilly riffs reminiscent of Bill Haley’s early work.
The New York vocalist’s project benefited from the estimable talents of Gospel Announcers Guild VP Bishop Sam Williams, who mixed, edited, mastered, and provided spoken intro on the CD from whence this cut came.
