The magic began in 1983 in Macon, Georgia, when
the Georgia Mass Choir was organized by the Rev. Milton Biggham, who
signed up the finest singers in the region, ranging in age from 13 through 70.
Biggham is the founder, lead singer and major songwriter for the choir.
The highly acclaimed gospel choir reached a musical milestone with the November
1996 release of a twelve track spectacular album, "The Georgia Mass Choir:
Greatest Hits." The world also heard the Georgia Mass Choir in the
globally televised 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, during which the choir
performed six times - including in the Opening Ceremonies and the healing
re-opening ceremonies of Olympic Centennial Park, after the infamous bombing.
The group has continued to be honored with Stellar, Grammy and Dove Award
nominations. This faith-filled vocal powerhouse also is featured in Disney's
major motion picture, "The Preacher's Wife." Three of the choir's signature
songs from "Greatest Hits", "He's All Over Me," "Joy and Hold On," "Help Is On
The Way" - are on the movie's soundtrack CD, "Preacher's Wife".
Star and
recording superstar Whitney Houston
leads choir selections.
Director Penny Marshall cast the choir. The group joined her and Houston
on a national media tour promoting the movie. Appearances included TV's Saturday
Night Live on NBC, NBC's Today Show and ABC's Good Morning America as well as
performances at The Ebony Awards and at Disney World.
The choir's popular and critical success has been hailed in such major music
magazines as Billboard, Jet, Ebony and Gospel Today.
Other honors range from the GMWA Excellence Award to receiving the keys to the
City of Atlanta.
