MALACO presents The Rising Stars of Quartet

February 6, 2008 - Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson has an illustrious career with classic hits such as “Hide Behind The Mountain,” “I Just Want To Be Right” and his latest 2007 Stellar award winning song, “I Made It” making him the undisputed “Prince Of Quartet Gospel” music.

Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson has been singing professionally since the age of 5 as a member of the group founded by his father, The Spiritual Voices. Still a young man himself, a master student of the Quartet genre, Keith felt that his success wasn’t just only for him to be the beneficiary, but that he must use his influence to reach back and help present to the world the next generation of rising Quartet stars to perpetuate the genre as so many of our legends are becoming fewer.

Malaco Records is proud to release “Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson Presents… The Rising Stars Of Quartet” Volume I.

“Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson Presents… The Rising Stars Of Quartet” Volume I is the first installment featuring 14 brand new songs, 3 songs performed by Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson himself along with selections from the hottest and most talented up and coming rising stars working on the Quartet scene today. The groups are Tim Rogers & The Fellas, Jewel & Converted, Brothers In Christ and Marble Twins & Company.

On January 24, 2008, The Malaco Music Group recently presented an exclusive musical showcase at the American Gospel Quartet Convention in Birmingham, AL, featuring “Live” performances by Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson and his Rising Stars Of Quartet in front of the most loyal, dedicated and critical Quartet Gospel music lovers in the world to an overwhelming response.

D.A. Johnson, Executive Director of Malaco Music Group’s Gospel division states, “I humorously refer to Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson as the Michael Jackson of Quartet because he’s been singing professionally since he was 5. I’ve watch him from the beginning on the Quartet scene in Brooklyn, NY and I knew back then that he was going to be something special. It is a true honor and privilege to finally have the opportunity to work with him in this capacity. It’s a dream come true for the both of us.”

“Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson Presents… The Rising Stars Of Quartet” Volume I will be in stores on February 26, 2008. It will be a must have this 2008 National Quartet Month!!!
