DOROTHY NORWOOD "50 YEARS: IT'S BEEN WORTH IT ALL" IN STORES NOW!!!

50 Years: It's Been Worth It All by the Gospel living legend, The World's Greatest Storyteller, Dorothy Norwood is finally In Stores!!!

Millions have heard the power packed re-recording of one of the greatest congregational hymns of all time, Victory Is Mine (Obama Mix) backed by 2009 Stellar Award Nominee Ricky Dillard & New G being played on Gospel and Urban radio stations alike, leading up to the historic election, on election day, and on the day of the inauguration in honor of President Barack Obama.

Now you can bring home Victory Is Mine and the new foot stompin', hand clappin', get out of your seat single, "I Wanna Go" both taken from her latest release 50 Years: It's Been Worth It All. If that weren't enough, a 2009 "Live" version of Denied Mother also appears as a bonus track.

I Wanna Go single was mailed nationally to radio stations so be sure to stay tuned to your favorite station to be amongst the firsts to hear it debut in your area.

Nothing short of a living legend, Dorothy Norwood has been entertaining, preaching, uplifting, mentoring, writing, and producing for more than fifty years.

Dorothy Norwood officially began her gospel career in 1956, singing with Mahalia Jackson, Reverend James Cleveland, and with one of the greatest female gospel groups of all time, The Caravans, founded by The Queen Of Gospel, Albertina Walker.

In 1960, she launched her solo career with Savoy Records, recording her first album, Johnny and Jesus in 1964. This release was quickly followed by Denied Mother in 1965, earning Norwood the title, "The World's Greatest Storyteller." Both projects certified gold. All total, five albums reached gold status. 1971, she recorded Live with the GMWA Mass Choir of Northern California; Live reached #1 on the Billboard Charts. To her credit, she has also had three top ten gospel albums and been in the top forty fourteen times (Billboard).

In 1972, she became an unlikely opening act for the Rolling Stones' national tour with Mick Jagger. By 2000, Ms. Norwood was nominated for the Lady of Soul Award for her album, The Lord is a Wonder. She followed that nomination with two more at the 2001 Dove Awards for Ole Rickety Bridge (Traditional Album of the Year) and "There's Got To Be Rain" (Traditional Gospel Recorded Song of the Year).

Honor this Gospel Legend with your support!!!
