From the program aired the weekend of Oct. 27th & 28th, 2007: Our Featured Artists on this edition of The Gospel Greats program were the Browders. They're been singing since about 1990, as you heard on the program, releasing songs to radio since the early 90s. Today's group includes Tommy Browder, his sons Matthew and David, and Matthew's wife, Sonya. Their current hit, "Stand Up For Jesus," has been getting more attention for this group than ever before, hitting the top 10 in October. Their current CD is called "Be A Light," the title song of which is another good message, as you heard on this broadcast. As you heard, too, Tommy has been in a wheelchair for several years, and that's why their song "Waitin' On My Change" is so special for them and so touching for their audiences. More information about the Browders can be found on their website, www.thebrowders.com. This was our official Singing News Top 20 Countdown edition for this month, counting down the Top 20 as it appears in the magazine's November issue now being circulated. Singing News magazine compiles their chart by surveying radio stations nationwide that play Southern Gospel music to determine local favorites, based on the amount of airplay songs receive. On the Headline Update you heard about this year's recent inductions in the SGMA's Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Charlie Waller managed to produce another very special event, remembering those who've gone before in Southern Gospel music and paying tribute to several living leaders in the Southern Gospel music community. If you've never visited the Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame and Museum, please do so at your first opportunity. Charlie and his crew have managed to pull together an outstanding collection of memorabilia chronicling the history of Southern Gospel music and the people who've made it what it is today. (There's even some history there from The Gospel Greats program. The studio they have set up uses my first broadcast production board and one of the turntables that I used for the first 14 years of the broadcast.) Gospel music's ever-vigilant photographer, Aaron Crisler, snapped a photo of me working in the sound booth during the awards ceremony (seen at right, courtesy of gospelmusicupdate.com). My recording of the event was the only recording made for radio.
