Show Up!

Ebony, June, 1995 by Lynn Norment

With Show Up! (Verity), the New unity Choir featuring John P. Kee demonstrates its ability to uplift and inspire with a special brand of feel-good gospel music. Among the 14 selections are two proven concert favorites, the energetic title song and the rhythmic "Made Up Mind." Several songs, such as "He'll Welcome Me," "God Has Been So Good" and "Sweeter," are sure to evoke hand-clapping and foot-stomping.

Providing balance are ballads such as "I Shall Do," performed beautifully by Sheilia Lakin. Accentuating its diverse appeal, New Life ends the recording with a raplaced remix of "Made Up Mind." Kee, who wrote and produced the songs, also sings lead on most of them.
