James Bignon - "I Came To Lift Him Up"

James Bignon was born an only child in Savannah, GA, and raised in New York City. He came from a large family of singers, pianists, organists, and preachers. He started singing in church at the age of five and was already writing his own material at 11. He learned to play the piano by watching his parents and soon started taking lessons and theory courses. His impressive skills as a singer, writer, arranger, and instrumentalist were key to his successful recording career. He is shown here with The Deliverance Mass Choir singing live. Please rate.

after listening to this over & over, I have to ask, did someone turn around and know a vase over (at the 4.33 mark)?

[TheGospelZone]

@sweetmsroslyn Lol, I never noticed that before.  Something definitely fell over. Nice job catching that.

[CHOCHOGODESS85]

Absolutely marvelous! Do you all have a video or recording of He'sOn Time?

[TheGospelZone]

@CHOCHOGODESS85 No I don't, sorry.

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?

[TheGospelZone]

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.

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.
