One of the greatest highlights of her career was
winning five National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences Grammy® Awards
which includes 1999′s Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album for Mountain
High…Valley Low featuring her crossover breakthrough hit “Open My Heart,” and
2005′s Best Gospel Song, co-written by Ms. Adams herself, “Be Blessed.” Yolanda
Adams is truly the ‘first lady of modern gospel’. Her pioneering blend of
modern gospel with R&B and infused with a touch of jazz continues to
inspire her fans and transform the musical landscape.
“The Yolanda Adams Morning Show,” a program of her creation and ownership, (in conjunction with Radio One) can currently be heard on radio stations across the country. Most of Yolanda’s fans know she was once a school teacher; less known is the fact that she earned her college degree in Radio/Television Broadcasting. Joined by her distinguished co-hosts the hilarious Marcus Wiley, and insightful Anthony Valary, Yolanda’s show is all about waking up in the sandbox every morning and having F-U-N! “We have a great morning show,” Yolanda says beaming. “It’s not a gospel show or an inspirational show, but a versatile overall morning show. I wanted to create a clean alternative morning show for people of faith.
Faith, Love, Forgiveness, Protection and PRAISE. These are just five of the ten gifts explored in Yolanda Adams new power-filled inaugural book, Points of Power. Inspired by the Points of Power segment from The Morning Show, Adams reveals her own personal experiences to show how the Bible will enlighten readers and provide them with insight and understanding to respond positively to life’s challenges.
