I so remember the days of singing with James at EBC and I tell you what he WORKED us like hebrew slaves AND we LOVED it. We praised GOD like you would not believe. I miss those days. I pray that GOD continues to allow him to make this kind of GOSPEL...I miss chioirs like this.
I got a chance to meet him at the music workshop some years ago at Berkeley Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Berkeley, CA . (Rev. Dr. M. T. Thompson was the pastor at that time). I still have the CD's that he autographed for me. Love his music.

Augusta Georgia's own. I use to love to hear him and his group of singers (Richardine Holmes, Ernestine curry, Loretta Lowe, and others) when I was growing up in Augusta. They had a local hit back then called, "I'm a Child of the King". Boy could they sing!
Very well done and inspiring. I listen to this over and over thru-out my day. (Why does the choir director keep turning around towards the camera?) I've never seen a director turn away from the choir, especially as much as he.
He is following James Bignon's lead. James knows where he wants to go with this song, nothing is pinned down, only the words and general format...after that, an inspired soloist lets the Lord have His way!
before it was greater travelers rest, back then the church was the cathedral at chapel hill. earl paulk pastor. then in 2009 greater travelers rest moved into that building
james bignon fan..we sang with him in Augusta when i was in college( concert choir..i loved it,, we sang" he made a difference in my lfe" and "praise him-praise the lord just because he is who he is glory and honor, majesty belongs to him"
Question: I recall a James Bignon who sang with his mother Eula in Augusta, Ga during his teenage years, which I believed to be his hometown. Is the bio info above correct?
I know that he is originally from Georgia and I know that he operates out of the Atlanta area today. I need to confirm that he left Georgia at some point to move to New York before returning to Georgia. Once I get confirmation, I'll get back to you.
@TheGospelZone I know for sure he was in Augusta before moving to Atlanta. His group was James Bignon and God's Children. Earnestine Curry, Richardine Daggett, and another lady were his singers. My mom played piano for them for a while. Earnestine, Richardine, and my mom all went to sing with the Georgia Mass Choir when it was formed. James Bignon moved to Atlanta around that time, but continued to be a major writer, singer, director, and conductor for Georgia Mass for many years.
I have the album and absolutly love it. James and the choir are off the chain. What a joyful noise unto the lord. Wish I knew what church it was recorded at. I play bass and wish I could have gotten a chunk of that. POWERFUL!
It was recorded at the former Chapel Hill Harvester Church/ Cathedral of The Holy Spirit. This facility presently is the home of The Greater Traveler's Rest Baptist Church. It is located in Decatur, Georgia outside Atlanta.
We often take such opportunities for granted. Its not often that a 400 voice choir is backing up a single singer these days. James Bignon certainly answered a calling with this album. For the word says, if we can come together in His name there He will be in the midst of us!
Powerful!
