“Greater”
Malcolm Williams and Great Faith
From the Malcolm James Music CD
In Your Glory (2009)
www.malcolmwilliams.com
Singer-songwriter Malcolm Williams – a young man with an old soul – does it Windy City style in this fast-paced choir-romp, complete with his trademark Holy Ghost-filled “Chicago Bump” reprise (“Chicago Bump III”).
The singers are full-throated, the musicians are working overtime, the audience is fever-pitched and hands are clapping raw. Sounds like a Chicago gospel choir moment to me.
During the reprise, Williams quips about how various legendary gospel personages, including James Cleveland, Donald Lawrence, Father Hayes, and Dr. Mattie Moss Clark would react to the high energy. And how would Malcolm Williams respond? “I just fall out.”

I absolutely love this project. I was introduced to it during GMWA. I have used it as a tool to minister to the spirit of several people very close to me, including myself during some trying times this year. I was honored to have him on my broadcast earlier this year. This project has proven to be reflective of Bro Malcolm and who he really is.
