The New York Fellowship Mass Choir was renamed the Rev. Timothy Wright Memorial Choir in memory of the Godfather of Gospel, who died nine months after a 2008 car accident took his wife and grandson and left him paralyzed. Wright’s untimely passing — he never recovered from his injuries — shook the Brooklyn, COGIC and gospel music communities.
What the choir gives us in “God Has Been So Good” is a rich, satisfying and heartwarming single, traditional in sound and message (no matter what, God cares) and a thunderous chorus that supports emotional lead vocals and a lone saxophone wailing in the distance. Written by Wright’s son, Pastor David Wright, the song evokes the majestic mass choir performances of the Gospel Music Workshop of America Mass Choir and National Convention of Gospel Choirs and Choruses.
