Andr’e,
I very impressed with the gospel.fm station and the work you are doing. I
will now make the fm station my internet listening channel. I heard a song
that I wanted to buy, however when you click on the buy tab it takes you to
Gospel Swap but not the CD you want to buy or even download. I tried
searching but could not see where to find that particular song. What do I do?
I also sent a copy of the downloadable magazine to our Minister of Music
(Cory Ratliff). Hope to hear from you soon. I am just astonished at the
progress you have made and are making, you have come a long way.

PUBLISHER’S NOTES
Synergy is the essence of principle-centered leadership. It
is the essence of principle-centered parenting. It catalyzes,
unifies, and unleashes the greatest power within people.
What is synergy? Simply defined, it means that the whole is
greater than the sum of its parts.
The essence of synergy is to value differences-to respect
them, to build on strength, to compensate for weakness.
Synergy is almost as if a group collectively agrees to subordinate old script and to write a new one.
Value the difference in the essence of synergy-the mental,
the emotional, the psychological difference between people.
And the key to valuing those differences is to realize that all
people see the world, not as it is, but as they are.
The person who is truly effective has the humility and reverence to recognize his own perpetual limitations and to
appreciate the rich resources available through interaction
with the hearts and minds of other human beings.
Synergy works it’s a correct principle. It is the crowning
achievement of all previous habits. It is effectiveness in an
interdependent reality-it is teamwork, team building, the
development of unity and creativity with other human beings.

Synergy is collectively working together but at the same
time each party maintains their own identity. There should
be more positive synergy in the body of Christ. It doesn’t

announcer brokering your time you are looking for sponsors and advertisiers to help pay for your time. If you are a

SNERGY, God has given each of us a dream.
It is up to us to put the correct pieces of the puzzle together
that will make our dream and vision a reality. Bottomline
we live in an interdependent world, in order to move to the
next level we have to position ourselves to maximize on
our positive synergy. God Bless!

New Year’s Resolutions
By: Andr’e L. Carter
Well Praise God! We made it another
year! This is the time of the year when
we make our resolutions to change a
few things in our lives for self improvement. Will it be weight loss, to
stop smoking, pay your bills on time,
work smarter instead of harder or will
it be, to stick to whatever resolution
we make for this year.
Making a New Year Resolution is a
great challenge that really doesn’t
have to be made at the beginning of
the year. It can be a choice that we
can make at anytime during the year.
In my case its not going to be difficult for me to make a resolution that
I will be able to keep. My resolution
is to continue my course and provide
a publication to spread the good news
but more importantly provide a publication that will be a blessing to the
independent gospel artist and gospel
music.
My resolution is very simple... I plan
to provide a quality online publication to continue to spread the Good
News. God gives each of us an assignment to fulfill. My God given assignment is to provide a publication
for new writers, ministries and music
ministries. Our rates are reasonable
as well as affordable.
we will stick to them and never give
up. God bless you and have a Happy
and Prosperous New Year!
He has given me a plan to organize
an online syndication of Internet Radio Stations to help spread the good
news and be a blessing to the many
struggling independent gospel artist
who find it a challenge to get air play
on conventional radio stations. There
are many changes taking place as
technology is changing the way music and news is being shared in the 21
century.
God has blessed me to make it
through some very challenging times
in 06. I am sure that many of you
reading this issue can attest that if it
had not been for the Lord you would
not have made it through some of the
difficult times you experienced last
year. I am sure, we all have a testimony that can be told of how we
made it over, through much prayer.
For the past two years, God has
placed me in a position to network
with a lot of people that I may have
never met had it not been for the
Internet. Over the past two years, He
has allowed me to offer a network of
services to help promote and assist
gospel music artist. Services that will
provide, on demand, gospel music
videos, on demand ministries, gospel
ringtones, online EPKS and much
more. All of these service are available online and can be accessed in the
comfort of your home, office, lap top.
The services can now be retrieved on
your cell phone as well.
God has allowed me to launch an
online distribution service for independent gospel music. He has allowed me become the Program Director/Music for Chicago’s #1
Internet Gospel Station where we
play the best mix of gospel music 24/
7. All I can do is thank Him for His
Grace and Mercy so can we all stop
here and say, “thank you Lord. I made
it..”
Our publication and all of our service
will be linked making it easy to access the service of your choice. We
have made changes and upgrades so
that each site will be user friendly for
our visitors. So, as you can see, it is
very important that my resolution is
one that will allow me to continue my
God given assignment by any means
necessary. It is my prayer that, what
ever our New Year’s Resolutions are,

4) The Procrastinator -
Dr. Robert J. Watkins
NO MORE EXCUSES (Part 1)
“The Minister of Business”
Taking responsibility is where success
starts. Yet, this is one of the hardest
things for people to do. I believe this is
one hurdle that prevents most of us
from making our dreams a reality. We
simply are not willing to take
responsibility for where we are, who
we are and what we have.
As a young child growing up in an
orphanage, there were many obstacles
that could have prevented me from
living my dream. For years, I allowed
the excuse of being born poor for not
fulfilling my dream of ministry and
entrepreneurship. Like most people, I
blamed:
•
•
•
•
•
•
My background
My environment
The school system
The economy
My job
My finances
The procrastinator normally knows
what to do to become successful, but
lacks the discipline to make it happen.
They make many excuses on why they
are not succeeding, but in actuality, they

grudges against people whom they feel

“Stay Where God Puts You”
Just because you are a Christian doesn’t
mean you are called to “full-time
ministry.”
I have run into this many times over
the years, where someone becomes a
pastor, for example, when it’s obvious
their skills lie elsewhere.
I heard the story again recently, of a
successful business man who became
a Christian, and felt like he needed to
quit his business and become a pastor.
But here’s the thing. God calls some
people to be zealous for Him…in
business.
Let’s say you are a research scientist at
a major university, and God moves in
your life in a powerful way. Should you
cease your research and start
preaching? Probably not.
Here’s a little story for you. Years ago
I often met a guy for lunch at a little
café. One day he saw our waitress
outside smoking, and he started razzing
her about it. I paid no attention, until
she said this: “When I get a boyfriend,
then I’ll quit smoking.”
I jumped in. “Then you can’t quit,
because maybe that’s he wanted in the
first place, a smoking girlfriend.”
That’s kind of a dumb story, but what
I’m trying to say is that when God calls
you, He doesn’t always call you away
from whatever you’re doing. Unless it’s
sinful, it is most likely that He wants
you to continue in your current
vocation, it’s just that now you are
doing it “as unto the Lord.”
In Luke chapter 3, people asked John
the Baptist what they should do, now
that they had repented and turned to
God. Did he tell the tax collectors to
“quit that awful business and become
a priest”? No. They were to keep
collecting taxes, but in a way pleasing
to the Lord. He said, “Don’t collect
anymore than you are required to.”
seek the Creator of mathematics, and
discover a new joy in your field that
comes from serving Him.
I see this a lot in young people. They
come to Christ, then passionately
want to serve Him, which is proper.
Did he tell the soldiers to get out of But then they think the only way to
the army and join his ministry? No. do that is in full-time ministry, like at

“The Purposeful Process”
By: Evangelist Regina B. Howard
[email protected]
There comes a time in our lives, where
we must experience some processing.
Many of us have had situations and
circumstances arise that cause us great
discomfort, but it doesn’t kill us. As we
grow in our faith and in our walk with
God, there must be tests and challenges
(processing) to make us who God is
calling us to be.
There are two things about the process
that we must be aware of. First, it can’t
be avoided and secondly, it has purpose.
If we could talk to some of the awesome
men and women of God now, who
minister to the body of Christ, they would
tell us “there’s no escaping the process.”
When God has anointed you for ministry,
you have to be purged, prepared and
proven: thus being the purpose. Stage
one of the process is purging. To be
purged is when one is one is made free
of something unwanted or to rid oneself
of something that is keeping them in
bondage. Every one of us has a habit or
condition we would like to be free from,
but for some reason we are still bound.
We plan our freedom through diets,
patches (for smoking), exercise or
changing our environment, but we just
can’t break free. That’s where the yoke
destroying power of God comes in, to
“make us” free. The Lord will allow
situations to arise in the very area we
need to be free from causing us to be
purged. If there are certain people we
need to disassociate ourselves from, then
turmoil will come in the relationship.
Then there are those habits we need to
break, all of a sudden they put a bad taste
in our mouths and could possibly cause
us to become sick. However, the
intended purpose is accomplished. You
stopped those habits and you were freed
from those unhealthy relationships.We
“We can cast our cares upon Him
because He cares for us.” Also, the truth
is proven, because: “He will keep us in
perfect peace, if we keep our mind stayed
on Him.” (Isaiah 26:3). In doing so, this
will always help us to accomplish God’s
plan.
can be purged or delivered from many
things, such as gossiping, lying, seeking
attention or sowing seeds of discord. When
we are purged, that simply helps us to be
prepared.
The “purposeful process”, brings about
a change in our lives that will cause us
to fulfill our purpose in the manner God
intended. Being in His will is so
important and it is quite safe.
To be prepared causes one to be
subjected to a special process or
treatment. Once we are purged
(cleansed) the special process can begin.
We have to be prepared to meet all types
of people and situations. If we haven’t
been purged of our mean streak or hostile
attitude, we will not be prepared to
handle the person who is rude to us.
However, in a prepared state we will be
able to handle the hostile situation in an
effective manner. If we react in our flesh,
what type of an example would that be?
The purging may be uncomfortable, but
is very necessary for our preparedness.
Think about it, every person in the bible
that was being prepared for a mission
went through a process. David was
overlooked, before he became King and
Joseph went to the pit before he went to
the palace as King. Are you prepared for
your purpose? When we are prepared
we can be proven. To be proven, the
truth must be tested. The truth is often
tested in our trials. When you go
through, how do you go through? Your
spirit should project victory and peace.
I know some times we are heavy, but
deep down in our spirit we maintain our
victory status.
When we have experienced and come out
of a purging process and share it with
someone, it would appear to them that
we haven’t gone through anything such
as was described. Their comment was
as such, because your countenance
during your purging process denoted
victory and not defeat. You didn’t wear
your process on your face. You’ve
proven the word of God to be true in that:
Page 8
Chosen ones of God, escaping the
process won’t happen. However, your
denying the process will just cause a
delay in you reaching your purpose.
Remain focused and trust God to carry
you through. There is nothing to hard
for Him and He wants you to defeat the
devil and come out victorious every time.

THE BEST NEW YEAR
RESOLUTION:
Starting the Year Off With
Jesus
By: Latatia Washington
On the first day of its designated year,
“2006” boldly made its entrance. On
January 1, 2007, it swiftly vanished just
as surely as it came. Looking back on
the past year, many of us can still feel
its residue. 2006 exited and left behind
a plethora of bitter and sweet memories:
some we will deeply cherish while
others, we’ll strive to forget. At the
stroke of midnight on January 1, 2007,
millions of people all over the world
embraced the new year with great
enthusiasm and intensity! Fireworks lit
up the sky as “Happy New Year” wishes
were exchanged between strangers and
friends. Churches were packed with
worshipers starting the new year by
thanking and praising our Almighty
God. Many others danced and drank
the night away. However it occurs,
celebration on New Years, generally
takes place as a means of “seeing out
the old” and bringing in a “new” year.
Some people celebrate with booze or
beer and others begin the year with their
eyes and hopes fixed on Jesus. While
other ways may seem rather exciting
(for some), the best way for a child of
God to begin the New Year is with
Jesus. Not only does it set the stage
(pattern) for the days to follow, but it
also provides us with the opportunity
to start the year putting (seeking) God
“first” as God’s Word (Bible) says we
should in Matthew 6:33.
* INCLUDE God in everything you do
(watching television, driving, working,
exercising).
* TAKE God with you everywhere you
go.

Rick Warren:
Religious Babylon Revealed
Greetings friends,
The article copied below from Joseph Farah provides
stunning and clear evidence that the religious component
or element of Middle East peacemaking is now in full swing.
Rick Warren is an admitted member of the CFR, one of
the most elitist organizations of this world’s political
systems, which I have repeated over and over again are all
created and ruled by fallen angels. I have read and
commented on Rick Warren’s book “Purpose Driven Life”
which is posted on my web site and even discussed on a
recent radio interview, also posted on the site. In his book,
Rick advocates to his readers to ignore Bible prophecy,
even saying that in his opinion Jesus himself would tell
you prophetic understanding surrounding the second
coming is....”none of your business”.
Everyone should be aware that Daniel and John’s visions
of the last days includes a Babylonian/Roman system that
will establish a peace covenant in the Holy Land that many
will proclaim is the arrival of the Kingdom of God, when
in reality it is the arrival of the Antichrist. This Babylon/
Roman/American system, so clearly represented by the
CFR, has three components or elements to it...politicalreligious-economic. Rick Warren is part of the religious
component and has been seduced by fallen angels into
following a false gospel or another Jesus as Paul taught
the Corinthians and Galatians. Rick has been warned many
times, so he is not ignorant of what he is doing. He really
thinks his way is the right path and those who have begged
him to turn around just have a different “opinion or
interpretation”.
One of the most important questions Joseph Farah, and
his Christian readers at World Net Daily should be asking,
is how are Christians to respond to this information? For I
am deeply saddened that so many Christians have been
seduced by fallen angels into the “just” war doctrine or
delusion where Christians can join themselves to the carnal
war against hate-filled Islamic jihadists. Those who think
that way are just as deceived as Rick Warren, only in a
different way. They should be asking the Lord Jesus Christ
why he has allowed this violent religion to again rise up in
these last days, much in the same way he allowed Assyria
and then Babylon to rise up to judge his stiff-necked and
backslidden people who...played the harlot... as Jeremiah
stated.
During the last seven years of Daniel’s prophecy, after God
has used the Russian/Islamic confederacy to judge and
defeat Israel, who instead of trusting in Jesus Christ allied
themselves with America, he will cause his holy angels to
rain fire down from the heavens to utterly destroy the
jubilant Russian/Islamic armies, and then move on to set
up and destroy once and for all the Babylonian/Roman/
American/European world order. Please read my article
“the Judgment Chronicles” posted on our site for the
scriptural details and timeline.
Jesus Christ is coming to make war against all of his
enemies. On that day and in that time everyone on Earth
will have been given the opportunity to repent through
Godly sorrow that brings salvation from their sin nature.
Those who refuse will instinctively accept, with the militant
pride of religious patriotism, the Mark of the Beast and
will feel the wrath of the sword that comes out of the mouth
of the Lord Jesus Christ at his second coming, Revelation
19. Until the days of the 70th week of Daniel come we
Christians are to pick up our cross, go forth as sheep in
the midst of wolves, harmless as doves, pleading with the
unsaved yet religious masses to fall before the bloody cross
of Jesus in repentance and Godly sorrow. Once a person
does this the Holy Spirit enters us and regenerates our
hearts producing a true love for God and all men including
our worst enemies, a hunger for the truth and right thinking,
and a longing for Jesus to return.
Because of his rapid rise to fame, he has been befriended
by the President, and most likely the Pope, in order to
assist them in making peace in the Middle East. They are
the real power players and dealers in this Satanic world
system. Read Revelation 13 for the truth concerning the
offices of the Presidency and Papacy. Daniel said the
coming Covenant of Peace (Daniel 9:27) would include a
religious component when he said the Jews would be Your eternal friend,
allowed to rebuild their Temple in Jerusalem, proving the Jack http://www.babylonthegreatisfalling.net
absolute need for all religious leaders to be onboard with
the President and Pope. Rick has fallen into the trap.

The Devil Doesn’t Sleep
By: Tijuana Agnew
In my dreams the children fought
giants. The giants were massive dark
figures of sickness, depression, fear,
perversion and death. They wanted to
be rescued by the imps and demons
that were sent to destroy them. It was
my job to help the children but my
best weapon at the time was my feet.
I’d grab them and run! Fear did not
allow me to fight.
God gave me dreams to reveal
spiritual truths. As I wrote out what
God showed me in the dream, I was
able to see the war that took place in
my life and the lives of those I am
connected with. I understand that the
devil doesn’t sleep. I also understand
that God has ALL POWER as long
as I abide in Him!
After years of running, I grew tired
and wanted to face the giants with
more power. God did not give me the
spirit of fear. The more I allowed God
to dwell inside of me, my dreams
became fearless. Some nights I would
wake up feeling like I had wrestled
all night. Essentially, I had.
God spoke and I?d listen as a child
growing up in church. Endless
dreams of spiritual battles. My body
became weak as I wrestled each night
and I would ask God?
Why do you allow me to see such
things??
One night I dreamed there was a small
child sitting alone in a corner. She was
crying and appeared lonely. There
were other children around her
playing together but left her out. I sat
with the small girl and spoke with her
about her future. She mentioned that
she wanted friends but no one would
play with her. I ministered to the girl
about Jesus and how He is the best
friend she could ever have. She
smiled, as I reached to embrace her,
she became a demonic figure. I
jumped back and pleaded? THE
BLOOD OF JESUS!?
I can remember having dreams as far
back to the age six. I would dream
about being chased through dark
alleys by large black dogs. For years
I ran, cried and isolated my thoughts
of fear to myself. Fear became my As the imp ran away I immediately

Time is valuable. We live in an interdependent society and no matter how independent we want to be its not possible.
God places each of us in a position to

The music business is not an easy business the artist is only as go as his or

I pray that you will find a benefit by
reaching out to our new partners, trust
me we will be building many new relationships as we continue to move forward to help each and every artist willing to step out of their comfort zone.

What To Do Immediately
After Getting Radio Airplay
By Dre L www.gospelpower.fm
What do you do? Let’s say that you
have successfully managed to get a
few radio stations playing your
music. What’s your next step?
Are you simply waiting on the charts
to come in each week in order to
learn if your single is moving up (or
down)?
If you would like to get a bit more
milage out of your airplay, here are a
couple of ways to, not only capitalize
on your current airplay, but to also
(possibly) move up radio charts even
faster.
1. Station IDs
I venture to say that most musicians
who are promoting themselves
probably never consider asking the
stations that are playing their music
in regular rotation for an opportunity
to do a station ID.
Now, if you are unfamiliar with what
station IDs are, a station ID sounds
something like...
“Hi, I’m Jackie Peters, and you’re
listening to www.gospelpower.fm
Chicago’s #1 Internet gospel
Station.”
to them while the station also benefits
from having a familiar artist’s voice
identify it.
To me, the best interviews are the
ones that are live and have call-in
listeners.
And, you get the obvious benefit of,
potentially, enjoying more station
music requests, which translates into
more spins and airplay, increased
sales, more performances, etc.
The great thing about on-air radio
interviews (whether live or or a CD)
in most cases, you are not required
to travel to stations in order to do
them, regardless of where stations are
located. You can simply do them from
the comfort of your home or office.
And, most stations are glad to
coordinate station IDs with artists
whose music they are playing. And,
if you become really popular with
their listeners, stations may even bring
you to town on a bill.
2. On-Air Interviews
These are great opportunities being
that we accept mp3 drops as well as

* Where you are performing
Now, chances are listeners have
already heard your music, since you

So, by all means, don’t allow this
opportunity to increase exposure,
sales and income exponentially, to slip
through the proverbial cracks.

And, one of your primary goals
during on-air interviews should be to
turn the average listener who merely
likes your song into a lifelong
dedicated buyer of your music who,
not only picks up this particular
release, but who also eagerly awaits
your next release.

MALACO SAYS ‘YES’
TO QUARTETS;
HONORS LEGENDS WITH
SIGNINGS, RELEASES
Jackson, MS. December 18, 2006-In
recent years, the gospel music industry
has seen a general downturn in the popularity of quartet music. Though a few
groups have made headlines, most have
continued to toil hard without significant
notice, relying on live performances rather
than record sales to get by. Malaco
Records, a gospel industry icon, is stepping up to the plate and hoping to help
some of the industry’s classiest acts hit a
few more home runs.
In February 2007, Malaco will launch its
“Yes! Quartet” campaign, following close
on the heels of signing three well known
gospel quartets to its label, Slim & The
Supreme Angels, Spencer Taylor &
The Highway QCs, and True Believers.
The campaign will include the release of
eight new quartet projects from the
Malaco roster, using a blend of legendary
artists and rising stars.
These releases include the works of:
The Sensational Nightingales, The
Pilgrim Jubilees, The Jackson
Sisters, Slim and the Supreme
Angels, Spencer Taylor and the
Highway QCs, and True Believers.
A compilation project, Yes! Quartet,
pictured above right, will also be
released as a companion to the eight
CD set and includes cuts from each of
them.
When asked “Why Quartets?” D.A.
Johnson, Director of the Gospel
Division at Malaco Records, said this,
“Yes! Quartet is the beginning of a
campaign to energize quartet music in
the gospel industry. Malaco’s history
is filled with some of the greatest
legends in quartet music, such as: The
Jackson Southernaires, Willie Neal
Johnson, Willie Banks, The Soul
Stirrers and others. Many quartets
today don’t have the support of a label
and With Yes! Quartet, we have begun
to lead quartet music home again (to
Malaco) by bringing the best to our
label so they can reach their quartet
fans.”
Tommy Couch, Sr., President of
Malaco Music Group, joins Johnson
with his remarks, “In the early days,
we were first known for having the best
in Quartet music and have long been
known as having the best in choir music
(The Mississippi Mass, The Georgia
Mass). It’s seems natural to continue
in that tradition by hiring one of quartet
music’s leading producers, Darrell
Luster (The Sensational Nightingales)
to work with us on the Yes! Quartet
campaign. We look forward to
introducing the best in new quartet
music every February, during Black
History Month.”
Malaco Records will continue to
announce new releases in the Yes!
Quartet campaign in the weeks prior
to their release in February of 2007.

Max Siegel,
President of Zomba Gospel
Leaves to Head Up Dale
Earnhardt Enterprises
By Sheilah Belle
New York, NY — In one of the biggest
moves ever made by any Gospel Music
Executive, Max Siegel leaving Verity
Records has got to be one of the biggest!
The announcement came on Friday, when
Max Siegel, President of Zomba Gospel
and Senior Vice President of the Zomba
Label Group informed his staff, and some
of the label roster members like Kirk
Franklin, Fred Hammond, John P. Kee
and others that he would be leaving the
company and heading to Charlotte, NC
to head up Dale Earnhardt Enterprises,
one of the largest NASCAR Operations
in the world.
Siegel has over fifteen years of brokering
deals and project management and is
known for his shrewd and savvy business
expertise, an accomplished entertainment
executive, attorney, author, conference
organizer and television & film producer.
Siegel is also one of the most sought after
persons in the entertainment industry and
has appeared on Oprah, twice in one year;
Tavis Smiley’s NPR and has been
featured in national major media outlets
such as The New York Times, Crain’s
New York Business, Black Enterprise,
Billboard Magazine and The Belle
Report.
He is a cumlaude graduate from the
University of Notre Dame, School of Law.
While enrolled as a student, he made
history at Notre Dame as the first African
American to graduate with honors from
the School of Law. During the past 12years, the Indianapolis native has also
presided over the legal affairs for several
Fortune 500 corporations, as well as
professional sports, entertainment
individuals and organizations. Siegel’s
legal expertise and business acumen has
afforded him the reputation as a “win-win
attorney” among his peers, and has played
a major role in the shaping of sports
athletes as Tony Gwynn and Reggie
White.
will be packing up his bags from his
recently formed company, Jordan
Entertainment Group, and returning to the
label he once called home…Zomba
Gospel Label Group. He will be heading
up both Verity and GospoCentric Records
and all of Zomba’s Gospel efforts…as
early as today! Continuing to run the day
to day operations at Jordan Entertainment
Group will be Jesse Thompson.
With his new position, under the Dale
Earnhardt Enterprises umbrella, Siegel
will have another chance in helping to
shape another world…this one involving
NASCAR, with responsibilities including
overseeing several race car teams, car
dealerships, an airline, thoroughbred race
horses, 500 employees and so much more.
Siegel says, “I was presented an awesome
opportunity, that just came out of no
where and I just couldn’t pass it up.
His departure, however will not be abrupt.
Siegel says, “I will still be hands on for a
while helping with the transition of the
company.” He also adds the Stellar
Awards will be his last industry public
appearance for a while.
The initial call came from Siegel to Jordan
about two weeks ago. It was over the
weekend, when the deal was finally
finalized. Jordan says, “At this point I
don’t see any other staff changes, but there
could be some adjustments once
everything is figured out.”
However, as he makes his departure, he
will leave behind a powerhouse that he
help build. It’s roster consist of the some
of the top Gospel artists in the world
including Kirk Franklin, Fred Hammond,
Deitrick Hammond, Donnie McClurkin,
Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson, Andrae
Crouch, Donald Lawrence, Richard
Smallwood, Tonex, Marvin Sapp, Joann
Rosario, 7 Sons of Soul, John P. Kee and
several others. Verity Records also has 7
of the top ten charted records and it has
earned 42% of all Gospel Sales.
As for the transition in leadership at
Verity, not much difficulty there either.
The former Senior Vice President/General
Manager of Verity Records Jazzy Jordan,
Page 20
Jordan says, he will be retaining the same
title he left with, while working at Verity
and will be returning to the company
under his own terms. Jordan says, at this
juncture there will not be a President of
Verity Records.
Over all, Jordan is excited about the
opportunity and says, “Hopefully my
position with also offer artists from Jordon
Entertainment a little more clout.
