Shirley Caesar
 
"The First Lady of Gospel" began her career in 1949 in her hometown of Durham, North Carolina as the teenage "Baby Shirley." Since leaving Albertina Walker's Chicago group Caravans (1958-1966), Caesar has been both singer and evangelist, pastoring Mount Calvary Word of Faith Holy Church back in NC. San Francisco Examiner critic James Kelton says "The energy transmitted between her and her audience makes most rock'n'roll fanaticism seem like empty piety." Caesar's latest project "I Know the Truth" featuring Tonex was produced by Sanchez Harley and coordinated by Jacqui Whittmon of Chi-Town.
