Messages Behind the Melodies - Paperback

by Kenyon R. Dudley (Author), J. C. White (Author)

"Timeless, classic, soulful, powerful and anointed. A few words to describe the compositions of gospel songwriter/arranger John Carlton White, affectionately known as J.C.! Spanning over six decades and more than 100 original writings J.C. White certainly is the 'Architect of the Modern Church Choir.' Over the years we have heard the message in the songs he has written, but now we are blessed to know the message behind the songs."
