The Israelites' music: from worldly songs to seven gospel tracks
The couple describes their musical pasts — the wife sang worldly music as a girl against her mother's wishes; the husband sang in 1992 and once nailed a Luther Vandross song — then how they wrote seven songs in ninety minutes in the studio around the concept 'seven ways to get to heaven' (find Jesus, call on him, build a home, make him head of life, leave the raggedy life, gladness, glorify). They point listeners to soundcloud.com/theisraelites.
