Four New Compilations From Join Legacy’s Essential Series

The first album to cross over to the Top 10 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart was 1994’s Show Up! (“The Lord Is Able,” “Show Up!,” “He’ll Welcome Me,” and “God Has Been So Good” with Tina Morrison on lead vocal). The gold album generated five Stellar Awards, a Soul Train Music Award, and a Grammy Award nomination. Kee busted Heatseekers again in 1996, with Stand!, and finally hit #1 on the chart the next year with Strength (“Clap Your Hands,” “I Do Worship,” “Mighty God,” and Kee’s duet with Drea’ Randle on the title track). Three years later, Kee issued his first double-album, Not Guilty… The Experience (“You Blessed Me,” “Greater,” “Sovereign,” “I Believe,” “Rain On Us”), a mammothly successful project that crossed over from #1 Heatseekers to #4 CCM and #41 R&B.
