Beverly Crawford says of her style, "Some people say they see my energy in so many different people, such as Shirley Caesar, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin. I just love to have fun!"
Ministry is a way of life for
Beverly Crawford. A native of Gainesville, Florida, she began
singing at the age of three. As a young child she joined her musical
siblings singing at the church pastored by their father, Walter Camp.
"I used to sing in our front
yard with a stick in my hand as a microphone," she recalls, laughing. "I
would imagine the grass was my audience and in my mind I could hear
people clapping."
As a young adult, she performed with her four sisters in a family Gospel
act known as The Camp Sisters, which quickly gained
acclaim in the region. The Camp Sisters sent a homemade video to gospel
legend Bobby Jones. Jones liked the group, but was even more
impressed with the talents of young Beverly. She would be a member of
Bobby Jones and New Life for six years before striking out on her own in
1996, releasing two critically-lauded albums for Warner Bros. "Jesus,
Precious King" would bring Beverly Crawford
her first Stellar Award nomination, while 1998's "Now
That I'm Here" would take her to the Grammy
Awards.
Today, Beverly Crawford maintains a grueling tour schedule that
sees her perform more than 200 concerts a year. What fuels this drive is
her heart for ministry. During concerts, she says, "my prayer is to
touch lives. That's what I'm all about. When people walk in, my hope is
they will never be the same again."
"I love to give all of Beverly on stage. Everything I have, from the depth of my soul, my bones – even my hair!," she laughs. "I give Him everything! When you do that, people can't help but be blessed."
Beverly Crawford has come a long way from the little girl who sang for an audience of blades of grass. Today, she is a living testament that with God on your side, if you can dream it, then you can do it.
