Wash the Tears from his debut album, Two Sides of My Heart, hit the sweet spot and was delivered with a sort of reverence rarely seen at reggae events. Down By The River made way for a heartfelt rendition of Psalm 23 that was 'livicated' (dedicated) to incarcerated reggae superstar Buju Banton. The song struck a responsive chord with Christians in the house who sang along word for word. Gramps was also in fine nick and had the entire congregation waving Bibles, hands, flags - whatever they could find - as he took them down memory lane with the Morgan Heritage classic Down By The River. Gramps Morgan was also nominated for Best Male Vocalist. Glory be to God," Stephens said on his Facebook page soon after exiting the stage. Roy 'Gramps' Morgan, is a Jamaican singer, instrumentalist, producer, record executive, and entrepreneur. I could feel every note coming from deep within me and the people just could not get enough.
"Wow! The gospel concert in NYC was a wonderful blessing.
After a work horse set, which included favourites like The Lord's Prayer, Yammo be There and Father, I Love You, Stephens returned for an encore and was joined by singer Gramps Morgan. He earned a standing ovation for his heartfelt rendition of A Change Is Gonna Come and then poured his heart out on Live Your Life, his current number-one hit song, which was penned after the untimely death of his son, Copper Cat. For his long-time fans, Stephens crooned Fight Back - a timely classic that was recorded years ago with his friend Garnet Silk, who died tragically in a fire at his home in 1993. The veteran crooner went to work quickly, delivering a medley of gospel favourites that brought a spiritual vibe to the presentation. Stephens, who was stylishly attired, was warmly greeted by the packed pews. Sign up for The Gleaner’s morning and evening newsletters.
