Here is the Evangel Celebration Choir, directed by Dr. Ray Allen Berryhill, in the 2009 How Sweet the Sound competition finals.

The choir, from Chicago’s Evangel World Outreach Center, was awarded “Chicago Overall/ Large Category/Verizon Wireless V CAST People’s Choice Award Regional Winner – Chicago, IL.”

You’ve heard Richard Smallwood’s masterpiece, “Total Praise,” but not like this — with a little Chicago-style added on top. Take it away, Maestro Berryhill!
