Lady Lois Snead & DJ Greg Belson Collaborate
Two of Lois' classic recordings have been restructured and reimagined for the dance floor! Read more inside!
A year ago this week I shared my interview with gospel legend, Lois Snead. It was a delight to finally get to talk with this artist who came from St. Petersburg, Florida which is also my hometown. Lois is a former Clara Ward Singers, former Davis Sister and alumni of Rosie Wallace’s First Church of Love, Faith & Deliverance Choir. Many remember her most for her long tenure with the Dorothy Norwood Singers, but she also had a notable career as a soloist in addition to her group work.
DJ Greg Belson, who I wrote about for SoulMusic.com in January of last year as well, has taken two of Lois’ classic recordings (1980’s “I Found Out” and 1977’s “Until We Learn") and reconstructed, arranged & mixed them for the dance floor in 2024. They will be released on a 7” single on March 1. You can hear snippets of the new mixes and pre-order here.
For those who might have missed it OR are new to God’s Music Is My Life, you can see my original feature on Lois below.
A Lois Snead-Related Feature
In April of last year, I wrote a feature on Dorothy Norwood’s 60+ years in gospel music. I included audio from my 2008 interview with Ms. Norwood in which we discuss The Caravans, her collaborations with other brilliant women, and her own tenacity throughout her career. I was shocked this feature didn’t get more love—so I’m re-raising!
