Marvin Sapp: Next Steps

Marvin Sapp's pipes were tailor-made for high-powered gospel, but there's also plenty of soft and tender moments in the pastor's music. He gently slides into his upper register to soar like an eagle on the R&B-inspired ballad “Worshipper In Me,” and he delivers both the early-20th-century hymn “In the Garden” and the ornate “Place of Worship” with an aching sense of restraint that communicates the Lord's love and mercy.
