The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir’s “Declare Your Name” Debuts at #12 on Billboard’s Gospel Chart

Choir Scheduled to Perform on “Good Morning America” On December 22, 2009

Over a nearly 30-year career, the 300-voice Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir has distinguished itself with six Grammy awards, nine Dove Awards, a RIAA gold video certification, performances at Radio City Music Hall and Madison Square Garden, two #1 hits, and over four million in albums sales. Now, the esteemed choir will help usher in the holidays with a live performance on ABC Television’s “Good Morning America” program on Tuesday, December 22, 2009 between 7 :00 and 9:00 AM EST.

The choir ‘s new CD Declare Your Name (Integrity Music) has debuted at #7 on Billboard’s gospel album sales chart. The album cover boasts three purple flags signifying not only Biblical royalty but also the countries where the choir is declaring the name of the Lord, from the Great Wall of China to Big Ben in England. The church is giving away 6000 flags with the purchase of the CD at its bookstore. Consumers will then be encouraged to “Plant the Flag” of the Lord’s rule in key places they may travel.

The new CD features cameos by Israel Houghton on the upbeat anthem “Ill Sing of Your Love” and Paul Baloche on the acoustic ballad “Helpless.” Pop star Jonathan Butler shows up for the Caribbean- flavored “It All Belongs to You” and “Coming Back.” Alicia Olatuja’s majestic soprano soars on the lush “Wonderful to Me” while the set closes with the triumphant, hand-clapper “Declare Your Name.”
