"With some 40 years of music under their belt, God has blessed them to still be around to make a joyful noise and let the joy flow.  I prayed about the idea of recording the group and met with some members of the TWC administration team and we began to put some things in motion.  The evening is going to be a spectacular night of praise.  God has favored our undertaking and we have received song submissions from some of Gospel music's greatest songwriters in addition to doing some of Tommy's songs, some old and some previously unrecorded.  Its going to be a great celebration of legacy."
