At some moment in their lives, church-going folk discover that "church" isn't so much about the building as it is about a frame of mind. Dr. Maya Angelou perhaps says it best introducing Church: Songs of Soul and Inspiration: "I cannot define the breadth and depth and width and height of church, but church can define me always." The rest of this entertaining collection is full of richly talented female vocalists from all styles who share how church has defined them. Jennifer Holliday ("The Wonder of You") and Patti LaBelle ("Way Up There") reveal the deep influence of gospel upon their lives, while Stephanie Mills (covering Ashford & Simpson's "Reach Out and Touch") and En Vogue (covering the Bee Gees' "How Deep Is Your Love") offer a more contemporary pop approach, as does Dionne Warwick with a redo of her timeless '70s classic "What The World Needs Now Is Love." Through it all, the object of their affection fuels the passion, spirit, and art that are woven so richly throughout church history. Ann Nesby brings it all to a focused point in her stirring and powerful "A Song for You." –Michael Lyttle
