On Monday, October 13, 2008 @7:00 p.m. TBAAL presents “Director Curtis King’s Wonderful One - 42nd Anniversary Concert Tribute to Gospel Legend Vanessa Bell Armstrong.

The concert will feature performances by Smokie Norful, Vickie Winans, Tramaine Hawkins, Bryan Wilson, Rance Allen, Coko, Margaret Bell, Kervy Brown, Lil’ Mo and Daryl Coley. It will be held at The Black Academy of Arts and Letters in Dallas, Texas.

Who’s who in black Gospel music is coming out to celebrate the life and music of legendary Gospel artist Vanessa Bell Armstrong on her 42nd anniversary as a Gospel artist. Her first radio hit was “Peace Be Still” and it took the Gospel world by storm in 1983.

What followed was more hit recordings such as the number one CD, “Chosen,” which features “Nobody But Jesus“, a Broadway production of “Don’t Get God Started” and the theme song to the `80s NBC sitcom “Amen,” that starred Clifton Davis and Sherman Helmsley.

Vanessa Bell Armstrong is also one of the few Gospel artists to enjoy a string of respectable R&B radio successes with her songs such as “You Bring Out the Best in Me,” “Something on the Inside” and “Pressing On.” Since recovering from an illness that caused her to become partially paralyzed and to briefly lose her singing ability, Armstrong is back on the scene in a big way. She’s signed to EMI Gospel and is working on a new CD with Grammy-winning producer Donald Lawrence at the helm.

As a closing to the Texas State Missionary Baptist Convention, Vanessa Bell Armstrong will be honored by her singing friends such as Smokie Norful, Vickie Winans, Tramaine Hawkins, Bryan Wilson, Rance Allen, Lil Mo, Coko, Kervy Brown, Margaret Bell and Daryl Coley who will serenade Vanessa Bell Armstrong and the audience for her 42nd anniversary as a recording artist. The event will be held at the Black Academy of Arts & Letters‘ Naomi Bruton Theater in the Dallas Convention Center Complex, 650 South Griffin Street, Dallas, TX 75202 (At the corner of Canton and Akard Street).
