Directed by Southern California–based minister and radio show host Rev. Willie Bernard Avant, Jr., the St. James Gospel Choir’s sound isn’t far removed from the sound of gospel in the American South. Likely a holdover from Avant’s upbringing in Pierce County, Georgia, as well as his years studying in Florida at Bethune-Cookman College and Florida A&M University. It was at the latter institution where he met his soon-to-be wife, Dolly, who is granted a frequent spotlight as a soloist on the St. James Gospel Choir’s album.The quintessence of Avant’s work appears on selections such as “God Really Cares for You,” a song he wrote, arranged, sang lead and played piano on. Commanding the choir while stepping out to share his gifted voice, he strikes a chord of confidence, not only in himself, but in faith.
