BIOGRAPHY OF THE WHITFIELD MUSIC GROUP On June 21, 1992 the world of Gospel music was devastated in the loss of the "Maestro" Thomas A. Whitfield Jr. He was truly a musical genius in contemporary, traditional Gospel music, and is considered a pioneer in the area of Praise and Worship. After a time of prayer and direction, The Lord birthed & manifested in Larry & David Whitfield a continuing vision of reaching the ears of many who are lost, and to share the Gospel through song. Through this, the inception of the Whitfield Music Group was formed in January of 1994 The singing aggregation, comprised of various soloist, musicians & singers, possessing the versatility and potential to sing the contemporary and traditional style music that the Lord was feeding into the writers of the ministry. Larry Whitfield, and their Musical Director Demetrius "Krayon" Nabors, spent many hours writing and arranging music, and sought for singers and musicians that could easily adapt to the task, without simplifying the musical changes. Our goal was to sing to the Lord without limitations. THE MINISTRY We are endeavored to sing knowing that when we evoke the glory of the Lord, He makes His presence known and available to the sick, the broken hearted, discouraged, suicidal, drug addicted, whatever the case may be. Over the years many alter calls have been made. Many people have accepted the Lord as their personal savior; they've been healed, delivered, set free, and encouraged!
