Hard-singing, altar-pacing, hand-waving, church-wrecking Monica Lisa Stevenson is right at home on “So Glad He Saved Me,” a traditional-style roof raiser. Great God almighty, this young singer with an old soul has the traditional sound down to a T!
“So Glad He Saved Me” has been nominated for “Song of the Year” and Monica Lisa for “Female Artist of the Year” by the 2009 Atlanta Gospel Choice Awards. The awards show takes place on September 28 and Lisa is scheduled to perform on the show.
And as traditional as it gets: Dorothy Norwood asked Lisa to sing with the Caravans at the “Storyteller’s” birthday celebration (see the YouTube video below). Three months later, Lisa was in Chicago because Albertina Walker asked her to sing at her 80th birthday bash. Watching Monica Lisa with the ‘vans, it’s clear that had this singer from Wetumpka, Alabama been born fifty years earlier, she would have been a contender for card-carrying Caravan-ship.
