The Mississippi Mass Choir is a renowned American gospel collective and one of the country's most influential and commercially successful modern gospel acts. Founded in Jackson in 1988 by Frank Williams, a <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Malaco+Records%22">Malaco Records</a> executive and member of <a href="spotify:artist:7rFVPfrASM9KOEeJBa4l0x">the Jackson Southernaires</a>, the MMC rose to prominence under the musical direction of David R. Curry. The 100-voice choir became a constant presence on Billboard's gospel charts during the late '80s and '90s. Their eponymous debut album, recorded during a 1988 performance at the Jackson Municipal Auditorium, remained on the charts for 45 weeks and earned the group a pair of James Cleveland GMWA awards for contemporary choir of the year and best new traditional artist of the year. Their second album, God Gets the Glory, reached number one two weeks after its release in 1990. The Mississippi Mass Choir's most successful album, It Remains to Be Seen, topped the charts for 12 months and received a Soul Train music award for being the best gospel album of 1993.
The LP was the choir's last with founder Frank Williams. With their albums released since Williams' passing, I'll See You in Rapture (1996), Amazing Love (2002), Then Sings My Soul (2011), and We Still Believe (2024), the Mississippi Mass Choir has continued to dedicate itself to its self-described mission of "serving God through song." ~ Craig Harris
