NOTE:
This event was part of the 2nd Annual Gospelfest in Queens - New York City
At 1:50pm, Lady Peachena (formerly of the defunct '70s FUNK band QUAZAR, now
totally devoted to Christ) introduced Zakeria Roberson and the Cloud 9
ministry...the band answered the call to worship with a song called
"Praise God"...the funky workout (courtesy of guitar grooves of
Groovalicious himself John Willis, funk bassisms by Mark Bass, and spicy
keyboard riffing by Darryle Johnson & former Nappyhead mate Prez) featured
lyrical arrangements that mirrored the arrangements in Graham Central Station's
"It's Alright"! The background vocals by Sherri Harrington and Leslie
were very good. The band even performed the chorus of the Nappyhead Funk Army
song "God"...."God don't always give you what you want, but he
always give you want you need!"
The beautiful Lady
Peachena, hostess of the 2nd Annual Gospelfest
"Spiritual Purpose" was followed by an invitation to salvation, where
Zakeria and the ministry went into the slow song "Run to Him". The
last song "Clap Your Hands" was a serious funky jam that got a lot of
the worshippers dancing...there was some really good drumming by Darryl Foster,
of L.I.F.E. Ministry. The Cloud 9 ministry concluded at 2:30pm.
