Kingdom Records Signs the Whispers

Among their dance-oriented hits are the #1 Billboard R&B chart singles “And the Beat Goes On” and “Rock Steady.” Other rhythmic hits include “It’s A Love Thing” and “Keep on Loving Me.” The group has also laid down their share of classic slow jams such as “Lady”, “Just Gets Better with Time”, “In the Mood” and “Say Yes.” The Grammy and American Music Award nominated ensemble has earned seven gold or platinum singles or albums, a 2002 NAACP Image Award and they were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2003.

Kingdom Records is the fulfillment of the vision of Apostle H. Daniel Wilson, Senior Pastor of Valley Kingdom Ministries International. While on a 1999 sabbatical in the Arizona desert, God gave Apostle Wilson the idea to start a praise and worship ministry named Shekinah Glory Ministry, and a record label to be named Kingdom Records. The company was established in 2000. Kingdom Record's primary mission is to create music that pierces the kingdom of darkness and enlarges the Kingdom of God. The company is led by Joan Sullivan, Bernie McLean, Junito R. Harris, Jr., and Michael Weatherspoon. The artist roster includes Shekinah Glory Ministry, Phil Tarver, Cynthia Jones, Tonya Baker, and the Brown Sisters.
